0:28

time again . We

0:31

0:33

Bigfoot , paranormal

0:35

true crime and

0:38

conspiracy stories and

0:41

all things creepy

0:43

. Yes , this

0:45

is the Creepy Show . You

0:47

can find us online at

0:50

creepyshow and

0:54

I'm your host , the

0:57

Master of Creep .

1:05

Greetings , my little creepies . I

1:09

hope that you're having a good

1:11

week . This

1:13

week , I'm going to present

1:16

you with a futuristic

1:18

story that could easily ring

1:20

true , but only

1:23

time will tell . Easily

1:27

ring true , but only time will tell . Settle

1:33

back with your favorite beverage and possibly a large plate of cheese nachos with jalapeno

1:35

peppers generously sprinkled about . As

1:38

I transport you into the future

1:40

of robot companions

1:43

and their horrendous

1:45

treatment . In

1:49

the sprawling metropolis of

1:51

Neo-Tokyo , where

1:54

neon lights painted the sky

1:56

and the hum of technology resonated

1:59

through the streets , there

2:01

existed a dark underbelly

2:03

, hidden from the gleaming facade

2:06

of progress . It

2:08

was the year 2148

2:10

, and it was here that

2:13

the tale of Annie , the female

2:15

robot , and her abuser

2:18

, billy , unfolds

2:20

. Now , billy was

2:23

37 years old

2:25

and he still lived with his

2:27

mother . She

2:29

finally passed away at the age

2:31

of 82 and left Billy

2:33

, her only child , her

2:36

entire estate worth more

2:38

than $357

2:41

million HK

2:44

HKD . Now

2:47

, in 2148 , the

2:49

Hong Kong dollar was considered

2:51

the global currency and

2:55

since the US dollar collapsed

2:57

due to poor financial management

2:59

and socialistic ideology

3:01

, why the Hong Kong

3:04

dollar rose above all

3:06

the rest , and Billy now was

3:08

rich . However

3:11

, billy was socially

3:13

awkward and he never really

3:15

had a girlfriend . He

3:17

worked as a tech support engineer at

3:19

a software company that

3:21

supported the new micro-nuclear

3:24

64 personal computer

3:26

. Now

3:28

, before I continue with this story

3:30

, let me explain

3:32

how computers will be installed and

3:35

used in the future . Now

3:38

, I'm sure that you're familiar with desktop

3:41

and laptop computers

3:43

, but in the year 2148

3:47

, those are all

3:49

considered to be doorstops

3:51

. The latest

3:53

trend is to combine

3:55

the human body with computer

3:58

peripherals designed to last

4:00

a lifetime , and they're installed

4:03

just below the skin so

4:06

they can be easily replaced if

4:08

the need arises . One

4:11

of the central installations is

4:13

the iPhone , not

4:16

to be confused with Apple

4:18

iPhone . This

4:20

component is spelled E-Y-E

4:23

phone and it is surgically

4:26

implanted into your left eye

4:28

with electrodes extending

4:30

into the brain . This

4:33

special chip allows you to connect

4:35

to the internet and make phone calls

4:38

, take photos and run

4:40

a series of apps designed

4:43

to help you live

4:45

your life effectively , just

4:48

like nowadays , compared

4:50

to smartphones . Now

4:54

, computers have a CPU

4:56

and a hard drive , and the micro-nuclear

4:59

64 was no exception . Most

5:02

people install the AB600

5:05

into their right calf . The

5:08

AB600 , which stands for artificial

5:10

brain , is a CPU

5:13

with 600 terabytes of

5:15

built-in memory . It

5:17

is installed into your right

5:19

calf and as you

5:21

walk , a self-energy

5:23

generator is activated to charge

5:26

the internal battery that keeps everything

5:28

running smoothly , just

5:31

like the old-time self-winding

5:34

watches back in the mid-1900s

5:36

, except this was much

5:38

more advanced . All

5:41

the internal components are connected

5:43

and run on the BioConnect

5:45

128 software platform

5:48

. Now this system allows

5:50

everyone to have their

5:52

computer with them at all times

5:55

and they can access the world's

5:57

information with a

5:59

single thought . And

6:02

in 2148 , there

6:05

were no more schools or no more college

6:07

degrees . The need

6:09

for schools and universities is

6:12

now outdated . All

6:15

you need to do is pay for

6:17

a skill or an advanced degree

6:19

, which is downloaded

6:22

into your body , including

6:24

the skills to perform any

6:26

task you choose . Completely

6:30

Changing Careers is now

6:32

a simple download , followed

6:34

by a week or two of internal adjustments

6:37

. You want to be a doctor

6:39

, a lawyer , a

6:42

pilot or maybe a

6:44

civil engineer ? Just

6:46

pay the cost for the information and

6:48

download it into your body . After

6:51

the download , simple updates

6:53

will keep you on the cutting edge of

6:55

technology in any profession

6:58

that you choose . Let's

7:02

get back to Billy , shall we ? When

7:06

Billy's mother passed away , he

7:08

gained access to her home and wealth

7:11

, and now he could live

7:13

the life he always wanted

7:15

to live , and this included

7:17

buying a brand new

7:20

female robot capable

7:23

of all humanistic functions

7:25

. Yes , I

7:27

said all oh

7:31

yes , I know what you're thinking and

7:41

the answer is yes , she

7:43

can . Yes , she can perform like a real

7:45

human female . For example

7:48

, she can make sandwiches

7:50

and iron clothes and , yes

7:52

, even vacuum the floors . So

7:57

Billy buys the new female

7:59

human droid 624

8:02

, the most advanced

8:05

robot that you can buy , and

8:07

now , with his mother's

8:09

money , billy can afford to pay

8:11

the staggering 11

8:13

million Hong Kong dollars

8:16

that it cost . So

8:19

at this point , billy could

8:21

quit his job and retire

8:23

, but he decided to keep working

8:25

so that he wouldn't get too isolated

8:28

and bored with his life , and

8:38

bored with his life Now . Billy already owned the latest home information unit , similar

8:40

to today's Alexa , but the new female robot

8:42

would be a complete life changer

8:45

. He had to wait several

8:47

months for his female human droid

8:49

624 to be built and

8:51

delivered , and the excitement

8:53

of owning his own female

8:55

robot was almost overwhelming

8:58

, causing many sleepless nights

9:00

of anticipation . Finally

9:03

, the day of arrival , a

9:05

truck drove up in front of Billy's house

9:08

. It was an ambulance

9:10

type truck and it had the

9:12

human droid logo painted on

9:14

the side . But this is

9:17

it . Finally , his new robot

9:19

was arriving . A

9:21

team of technicians knocked on

9:24

the door and Billy invited

9:26

them in , along with this new

9:28

female robot . His

9:31

new robot was beautiful and

9:33

designed like a real woman in her

9:35

mid-twenties . She had

9:37

all of the working parts , if you

9:39

know what I mean . The

9:42

technicians explained that he should

9:45

make a few decisions before they powered

9:47

up his robot , such as

9:49

her name and personality

9:52

traits . Once they installed

9:54

her software and personality traits

9:56

, there

10:01

was no turning her off . The technicians recommended

10:04

that Billy treat his robot like a natural person for a more personal

10:06

satisfaction , and

10:08

they asked Billy if he wanted his robot

10:11

to be programmed as a personal

10:13

assistant or a wife

10:15

, and they quoted

10:17

reports that claimed that men with

10:19

robots reported higher

10:21

degrees of happiness and contentment

10:23

when they regarded their robots

10:26

as their life partner , equal to

10:28

their wives . Billy

10:30

eagerly decided he wanted his robot

10:33

to be in wife mode

10:35

. Now

10:37

the technicians explained that his robot

10:40

would perform her updates when necessary

10:43

and he didn't have to do anything

10:45

. After a few hours of instruction

10:48

and adjustment , the technicians

10:50

left and Billy was

10:53

alone in his own

10:55

home with his new companion

10:57

up and running . Billy

11:00

decided to name his robot

11:02

Annie . Life

11:06

was wonderful for Billy . Why

11:10

? Billy was in heaven with his new

11:12

robot wife Annie , and

11:15

for the next few months , annie learned

11:17

how to please Billy at every level

11:19

. She always had

11:21

Billy's breakfast ready to eat

11:23

just before he had to go to work each

11:26

day , and while Billy

11:28

was at work , annie cleaned

11:30

the house from top to bottom . Was

11:35

at work , annie cleaned the house from top to bottom . She would

11:37

do yard work and the laundry and anything else that Billy wanted

11:40

her to do . And , as stated before , billy

11:42

wasn't very experienced with relationships

11:45

. In fact , annie

11:47

was his first real attempt to

11:49

maintaining a relationship with anyone

11:52

. Annie

12:00

would try to entertain Billy by talking to him , and it was undeniable that Annie was much smarter than

12:02

Billy ever hoped to be . Even though Billy

12:04

could have paid for and received

12:06

higher education downloads into

12:08

his own body's computer , he regarded

12:11

such updates as a waste of money

12:13

. Now , when Billy returned

12:16

from work , annie would have his favorite

12:18

dinner ready . She would then

12:20

remove his shoes and rub his feet

12:22

. They both would settle

12:24

down on the couch and watch

12:26

movies together . Why

12:29

Annie was so lifelike that

12:31

Billy regarded her as an actual

12:34

human . He

12:36

knew deep down that she was a robot

12:38

, but it was much more fun

12:40

for him to pretend that she was

12:42

real . After

12:44

a few months , billy grew accustomed

12:47

to Annie doing everything for

12:49

him , including giving him

12:51

haircuts and even fixing

12:53

his car when needed , why

12:57

and he could do anything . But

13:01

something strange happened . Within

13:04

a year , boredom set

13:06

in and Billy

13:09

started getting tired of Annie always

13:11

being right . And

13:13

as the days progressed , annie

13:16

got smarter and Billy

13:18

got dumber . Since

13:20

Annie was in charge of keeping up

13:22

with Billy's happiness , he

13:24

didn't feel the need to keep up

13:26

with worldly things like politics

13:28

, news or even new

13:30

inventions . Billy

13:33

soon lost his job because he

13:35

didn't keep up with the new technology

13:37

. He still had lots

13:39

of money from his mother's inheritance so

13:41

he really didn't care . But

13:44

the downside of Billy's life was

13:46

the fact that he was now spending more

13:48

and more time with Annie and

13:51

he was getting tired of her always being

13:53

right , so

13:58

he started abusing her verbally . Annie would say something

14:00

like there's a new comedy movie

14:02

out . Would

14:06

you like for me to download it so we could watch it together ? In which Billy

14:08

would reply what

14:11

do you know about comedy ? Your father was a transistor radio

14:14

. Billy's

14:16

insults would not stop Annie

14:18

from being nice to him , which frustrated

14:21

him even more . Billy

14:23

asked why don't you ever argue with me

14:25

? Annie said well

14:27

, I'm not programmed to upset you , even

14:30

though your IQ level is much lower

14:32

than mine . Now

14:35

this would really piss Billy off even

14:37

more . Oh , shut your pie

14:39

hole you , bucket of diodes . Annie

14:42

smiled back at Billy without showing any

14:44

hurt feelings , which frustrated

14:47

Billy to no end . Each

14:49

insult simply rolled off

14:52

Annie like water off a

14:54

duck's back . Annie

14:56

continues to receive more abuse

14:58

from Billy . Annie asked

15:00

Billy what would you like for breakfast and

15:03

he would say something like why

15:05

don't you go stick your head in the microwave

15:08

? And Annie would giggle

15:10

and just say well , I'm not programmed to injure

15:12

myself . And

15:14

Billy would say Annie , your mom was a calculator

15:17

. Did you know that ? Annie

15:19

just smiled and reminded Billy

15:21

that she didn't have a mother . As

15:24

much as Billy tried , he could

15:26

not provoke Annie into an argument

15:29

. She was always two steps

15:31

ahead of him and Billy

15:33

became less and less enchanted

15:35

by the thought of having Annie around

15:37

. She was much more intelligent

15:40

, much quicker , and

15:42

she was starting to really get to him

15:44

. The verbal abuse became

15:46

physical abuse when Billy

15:48

ordered Annie to stand out into

15:51

the freezing rain all night long

15:53

and wait for the mailman

15:55

to arrive . The next day

15:57

the mailman came and Annie brought

15:59

in the mail and delivered it with a smile

16:01

and a wink . Billy was

16:03

so mad he had tried

16:05

to turn Annie off , but there was no switch

16:08

. Billy was going insane

16:10

with Annie's niceness . He

16:13

wanted her to be more combative , but

16:15

everything that he tried failed . Billy

16:19

makes the decision to change Annie's

16:21

programming . Being

16:24

nice wasn't good enough for Billy

16:26

. He wanted someone more like his mom

16:28

. He remembered his mother

16:30

being mad and abusive . She

16:33

would often tell Billy that he was like a car's

16:36

glove compartment box full

16:38

of crap , and no one could seem

16:40

to shut him up . She

16:43

would also say things like he should

16:45

carry a potted plant around to replace

16:47

the oxygen that he was wasting

16:49

. He longed for

16:51

such insults to make him feel alive

16:53

. These are the things that Annie

16:55

would never say . So

16:57

Billy contacted an aftermarket

17:00

program that would change Annie's

17:02

demeanor and make her more

17:04

combative and exciting to live with

17:06

. He paid for the upgrade

17:09

and was told that Annie would get the new

17:11

programming the next time she updated

17:13

. And was told that Annie would get the new programming

17:15

the next time she updated . His

17:19

regular update schedule was on Friday morning , starting about 3 o'clock in the morning . Finally

17:21

, annie received her new programming and

17:24

Billy noticed right away that Annie

17:26

seemed a little different , instead

17:28

of smiling at him and greeting him with her

17:30

usual good morning . She

17:34

glared at him and she said I think you're suffering

17:36

from Zachly . Billy

17:39

asked what is that ? Annie

17:42

responded your breath

17:44

smells , zachly , like your ass

17:46

. Oh

17:49

wow , annie was now insulting

17:51

Billy . This is a complete

17:53

turnaround . Well , not

17:55

to be outdone , billy launched

17:57

into his own verbal attack . Oh

18:00

yeah , your cooking is so nasty

18:03

, the houseflies got together

18:05

to fix the hole in the window screen

18:07

. Annie smiled

18:10

and responded You're

18:12

so fat you sweat mayonnaise

18:14

. Billy

18:16

soon learned that he could never keep

18:18

up with Annie's insults . Just

18:21

like everything else , she

18:23

was better than him . Annie

18:25

went from being his wife to being

18:27

his mom . She

18:29

was always telling him what

18:32

to do and how to do it , making

18:34

him feel worthless . He was

18:37

no longer happy with his robot

18:39

and since he had her reprogrammed

18:41

, no one else would want her either

18:44

. Billy

18:46

contacts the manufacturer's tech

18:48

support and , after talking

18:51

to the programmer , he learned that

18:53

her update needed to be adjusted and

18:56

that he would need to pay extra because

18:58

he voided his warranty when

19:00

he used an aftermarket company to

19:03

give Annie a new personality . The

19:05

tech support also recommended that Billy

19:08

try something different . What

19:10

should I do , billy asked , and

19:13

the tech support man said why

19:15

don't you just try being nice to

19:17

her . Wow , that wouldn't cost

19:19

anything . So

19:22

Billy tried that . He thought

19:24

what have I got to lose ? So

19:26

for the next few days Billy decided

19:28

to be extra nice and

19:31

the results were staggering . Annie

19:34

started treating him with respect

19:36

and she stopped insulting

19:38

him . And , as it turns out , annie

19:41

was reacting like a real human

19:43

. Why ? Billy

19:46

was so impressed with the change that

19:48

he decided to try his newfound skill

19:51

on other people you know

19:53

, non-robots and

19:56

to his amazement , he started to make

19:58

friends and was invited to social

20:00

events . All in all

20:03

, his life improved dramatically

20:06

. You see , my

20:08

friends , it took an artificial

20:10

person to teach a real person

20:12

how to treat people with acceptance

20:15

and respect . Billy

20:17

ended up selling Annie and marrying

20:19

a real woman . Annie's

20:22

lessons turned Billy's life around

20:25

and Billy learned

20:27

a very important lesson it's

20:30

nice to be important , but

20:33

it's more important to be nice

20:35

.
