Welcome to 0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:13.039 this weekend edition of Morning Run. On the first full 0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:14.120 day of summer. 0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:17.360 In this little late it fuels late, especially given how 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:20.439 hot it is here in the Northeast. It is near 0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:23.479 record setting temperatures. We went from you know, at the 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.880 beginning of the week feeling like it was November in Ireland. 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:30.639 It was like misty and in the fifties and sixties. 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:33.239 It seems so late that we're just hitting summer. But yeah, 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:35.400 it's the official first day of summer, so. 0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:36.320 Hope the summer solstice. 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:40.040 All right, you all enjoy this first full weekend of summer. 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.120 But yeah, we're checking in with you on the weekend here. 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.400 There are plenty of stories during our Morning Run Monday 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.559 through Friday. They kind of keep us talking, debating, and 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.480 even arguing with each other afterwards. And this is where 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:52.440 we're going a little farther on some of those stories, 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:55.920 and one of them in particular this week. One of 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:58.560 the most romantic cities in the world. If you ask 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:00.600 anybody that, they'll start pop up them off and they'll 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.640 probably get to this city within top five, top five 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:08.319 of everybody. But they want Jeff Bezos to keep his 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.080 romance to himself, at least some there in Venice. As 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.160 many of you heard, he's supposed to be getting married 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.920 at the end of this month in Venice, a three 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.319 day affair, big star stuttered affair. But in Venice they're 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.679 kind of over it, and there have been protests robes 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:24.960 saying we don't want you here. Of course the wedding's 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:26.920 still going to go on, but still they're letting their 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.520 voices be heard that we don't want you here. 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:33.000 Yeah, they only have what fifty thousand actual residents of Venice, 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:37.520 and how many visitors come? Was it twenty million visitors 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:41.480 come each and every year. And so interestingly, as these 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.840 protests were going on and signage being put up in 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:48.320 advance of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding at the 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.880 end of this month, they were not alone. There were 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.040 several cities and there have been several cities now throughout 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:59.760 Europe who have started to protest what they're calling over tourism. 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.600 And you know, we deal with that a little bit 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.080 here in New York City, So we do deal with 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.520 to us and yet we're also folks who love to 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.320 go to Europe as well in the summer and enjoy 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:12.600 the annoying them. 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:13.400 So that's what we do. 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:14.919 We go over there, right, we get annoyed by the 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.040 Europeans here in New York, and so I feel like, 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.119 at least as a New Yorker, I don't feel too 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:23.320 terrible returning the favor going back over there. I don't know. 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:27.000 It's a fine line because, of course, so many of 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:30.800 these cities are sustained because of the tourist. 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:31.480 Industry, big deal. 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.640 Yes, the restaurants, the hotels, the cute shops, none of 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.959 those could survive if people didn't come and visit these 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.560 beautiful historic cities like Lisbon that was one of the 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.799 cities where you saw some protests in and just these 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.360 gorgeous cities that people want to see and spend their 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:49.680 money in. 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.840 But yeah, they're spending money, and then what happens is 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.080 other folks around the world, other investors say, oh, a 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.639 lot of money is going there, let's go take advantage, 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.280 and they end up what running out some of those 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.400 mom and pops and those smaller shops. That's been certainly 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:08.200 a big complaint in Venice, that folks where the local 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.359 artisans and folks like everyone in there is from somewhere else. 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.880 That is true. I did recent recently visit Venice, at 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:16.960 least in the last five years, and you did start 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.240 to see that transformation. And I can understand if you 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.840 were a Venetian, if you're Italian, you take great pride 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:24.959 in some of these shops that have now been turned 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:29.000 over to foreigners. But in other cities like Barcelona, they 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:33.040 were actually taking water guns out and spraying the tourists. 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.160 That's how annoyed they are. They said they wanted to 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.240 cool down the over tourisms. 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:38.880 Were they really doing They're just playing. 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.400 They're effing with folks. You know, what are you gonna do. 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.560 You're not gonna get a ticket, You're not gonna it's 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.760 not assaulting someone. But honestly, it's annoying, and so they 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:48.480 took pleasure. 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.320 So it was an act of non aggressive aggression. 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.920 Can you imagine though here in New York sometimes like today, 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:55.760 I actually fell and got pushed over when I was 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:57.720 running because there were so many people in the streets. 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.560 But can you imagine sitting down and shoe people with 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.960 a water gun because you wanted them to go home. 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:04.440 I haven't seen the video, or go away. 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.720 Little kids being playful or is it grown folks out 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:08.800 there were water cannons. 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.480 It sounded I don't know about water cannons, but it 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.240 did sound like they were adults and they were making 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.240 a point. They wanted it to be known that they 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:21.160 were sick of tourists overtaking their cities and mass numbers 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:21.880 during the summer. 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.159 It's not the tour right, isn't it in some way? 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.760 It doesn't have to be on whatever locale. Aren't they 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.760 making decision? What is it? You surely you want the visitors, 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.279 you want the money. At what point can you cut 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:32.640 that off? 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.560 Yeah? So if you are yes, But if you are 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:39.159 just a resident, oh yeah, you have to acknowledge that 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:43.680 the reason why you have these cute little piazzas and 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:47.840 squares and plazas is because these restaurants and businesses can 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.400 afford to live in high rent districts because tourists are 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.320 coming in and spending their money. I know it's annoying, 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.640 we know it's annoying. There's a balance, but you have 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.160 to at least acknowledge that that is part of the reason. Now, 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.920 maybe there's a way to create a a visa system 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:04.200 where you somehow weed out folks you know, from coming in. 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.560 But I did see in Barcelona they were specifically saying 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.960 that their neighborhoods were changing, like you were pointing out saying, 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:13.960 we don't want bubble tea shops in our neighborhoods. This 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.039 isn't what Spaniards have. We don't have bubble tea. So 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:19.480 I get that to an extent, and then we didn't 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.720 even mention the Love. The Love actually had to close. 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:25.000 This is I can't think they had something when it 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.800 happened last and it was like the pandemic. And then 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:32.080 really the Louve does not close for any other reason 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:36.200 other than Tuesdays when it's their day of rest. Apparently 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.800 is Tuesday. But they had to actually shut down on 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.080 Monday because the workers walked out because they were protesting 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.080 the over tourism and the crumbling infrastructure and the fact 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.240 that they were overworked. They said the situation was untenable 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:52.000 and frankly hot. It was hot all the tourists in 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:53.880 their thirty thousand people every day. 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.680 So to aout the Caribbean folks. If you're thinking about 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.920 vacation and give them a breakover in Europe. I hear 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.880 Jamaica's lovely all year long. The other story that really 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.599 got Robes talking. We couldn't believe it. There was one 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.680 day we got the headlines, it was one thing, and 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.280 then we got the follow up to it, and it 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.840 was just, oh boy, this is R. Kelly who is 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.719 making a plea to anybody who will listen that he 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:22.000 should be immediately released from prison for house arrest because 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:27.080 he says there's a conspiracy amongst the guards in the 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:32.320 prison system to have an inmate kill him. So a plot, 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.000 if you will, to kill R. Kelly. He says he 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.560 should be let out now, Robes. What really got us 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:41.039 the next day is when the government responded to this 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:42.520 request from R. Kelly. 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.400 Correct So because R. Kelly is not just saying that 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:49.200 prison officials have enlisted the help of any inmate. They 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.040 say he's actually they've actually chosen the leader of the 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.440 Aryan brotherhood to kill him. So we actually are saying 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:58.120 specifically who this inmate is. But the government response was 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:02.960 that this is a fanciful, deeply unserious claim that makes 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.320 a mockery of the harm suffered by victims of r Kelly. 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.400 They called him a prolific child molester, and they basically 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:12.000 in a nineteen page response to these claims by r 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.720 Kelly and his lawyers, you kind of put it this way. 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:18.600 They were kind of basically saying, lol, judge, as if. 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.160 They just stopped just short of if you can, what's 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.440 the legal I've never seen a legal briefing that literally 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:27.160 said lol. 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:27.840 Yeah it was. 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:29.520 They said, you all got to be kidding me, like 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:31.280 this is insane. It was almost they couldn't believe they 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:32.040 had to respond to it. 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.040 So then when just when you think that's unbelievable, yes, 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:40.360 r Kelly's lawyer's response to that response was this that 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:45.640 last Friday, r Kelly was given a life threatening overdose 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:49.720 of his medication by prison officials and said that they 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.960 moved him to solitary confinement. That scared r Kelly, so 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:54.920 we said he stopped eating his food. He said he 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.920 then got dizzy and lightheaded. Maybe that was because he 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.840 stopped eating, but no, he claims it was because he 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:04.080 was given an overdose of medication. Then his lawyers claim 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.800 that he was rushed to the hospital. Then his lawyers 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:11.000 claim that doctors told him yep, you've been overdosed. And 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.000 then they claim that his doctors told him you actually 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:17.840 have dangerous blood clots in you and you need surgery immediately. 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:24.240 Then what did Kelly's lawyers claim next? That prison officials 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.360 plucked him from the hospital, wouldn't let him get the surgery, 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.560 and brought him back to solitary confinement. 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.040 I mean, it's a heck of a story. But all 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.440 those officially on record, this is not purportedly. This is 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.160 stuff that they have laid out in their own requests 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.640 and letters and legal briefings. But it was a bizarre 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.000 headline initially. And you know what, I my hands kind 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:45.240 of threw up in the air the first day we 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:49.360 saw this, you know, Okay, maybe we'll see then when 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:51.720 we got more of the details. And then the government's response, 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.559 I it sounds fanciful. 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.640 As they say, yes, it's gone from strange to stranger. 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.520 We'll let you know just how strange it gets and 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:04.720 where this ends up. But if I were a betting woman, yeah, 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.160 I would say R. Kelly's probably staying exactly where he is, 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.120 serving the thirty year sentence that he received. 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.480 All right, this next story here is really a difficult 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:23.360 one that we will probably continue to address here on 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:27.760 our podcast, and who knows, weeks, months, even years to come, 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.120 because it seems like we don't run out roads with 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:34.040 these types of stories about artists, entertainers, celebrities of some kind, 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:39.240 and sometimes some iconic names getting caught up in lawsuits 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:42.560 and sometimes criminal proceedings having to do with sexual assault. 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.240 This week it was Tyler Perry who has been hit 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:50.199 with a two hundred and sixty million dollar sexual assault 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.440 lawsuit by someone who worked on one of his shows. 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.559 The show's called The Oval that was on Beet. Derek 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:59.680 Dixon is the is the guy's name, but robes he 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.600 laid out kind of We'll address this first, saying, essentially 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:10.120 a pattern of retaliation if you didn't reciprocate his sexual advances. 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:16.800 And this fella has some pretty damning accusations, but it 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.680 was just here we are another. This is as big 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:23.080 as you can get in black, oh in Hollywood, but 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.400 certainly as far as black entertainment and black entertainers go. 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.920 He is at the top in terms of being a black. 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:34.160 Entertainment best friends watching Oprah Winfrey, Harry and Megan. He's 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.760 somebody who obviously has movies that so many families love 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:41.000 to sit around and watch. So he's not just yes, 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:42.880 he's beloved in the black community, of course, but I 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.800 would say in white communities, and I mean he is 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.840 a household name and people know when they are watching 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.600 his movie, you're going to have some wholesome family fun. 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.280 I mean, that is pretty much what it is. 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.360 But he was he has come out and strongly we 0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.479 should have to say this. He's come out and strongly 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.480 deny this. I actually said, well, this was a scam 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.120 that was set up. Now that was fascinating to me. 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.680 They said this guy might have been plotting this for 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.280 some time and trying to get close to him just 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:12.880 so he could have this moment right now. 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.840 And Dixon claims that he actually moved from Atlanta to 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.320 LA to get away from Perry because he was so 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:22.320 concerned about retaliation for refusing his advances. But he claims 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.920 he was sexually assaulted multiple times. He goes into great detail, 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:30.200 and he also claims to have submitted text messages screenshots 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:34.040 of actual communication where he claims that Perry had a 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:38.160 perverted desire for sexual gratification. So he gets very specific. 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.960 So this is really sad to hear. Unfortunate to hear, 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.760 especially on the hills of the Smoky Robinson allegations that 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:46.960 have just come out recently, and of course we're in 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.439 the thick of the Diddy trial. It's just it's disheartening 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.959 to see that people who we've looked up to, people 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.640 whose music and art we've appreciated and loved, now have 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.120 all of these damning accusations surrounding them. 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:03.120 No of everybody mentioned, oh, everybody we've mentioned in the 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.960 past few minutes, R. Kelly is the only one who's 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.320 been found guilty of anything. Correct, we should start there. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.000 So of course Diddy is in the middle of what's 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:14.640 happening right there. But you can't get any more influential 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.520 than that guy when it comes to hip hop in 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:18.080 terms of what he did for hip hop and putting 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:21.960 it on the map around the world. That dude is 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.360 at the top of the hip hop mountain. Smokey Robinson, 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.040 I don't even need to say anything exactly about how 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.800 iconic he is. And Tyler Perry, now, what do you 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.520 do with that art? How are you supposed to forget 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.000 the personal just for I'm not saying because some of 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:39.400 these folks we have been around and had relationships with 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:44.679 through media, So just putting aside, Okay, I have a 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:49.520 personal connection to that individual. What do you do with 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.920 the art of someone like r Kelly, who is in 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.720 prison for some of the accused of were all convicted 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:56.920 of some of the most horrific things. What do you 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.600 do with all that art? Are you supposed to separate it? 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:01.360 Do you have to separate it? Was it say about 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:02.439 you if you don't separate it? 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.280 Right? And I would add Michael Jackson to that list 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.760 as well. And for me, I think it's an individual 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.040 personal choice. And I don't think you should judge somebody 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:14.319 for still appreciating music. I think you can appreciate the art. 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.960 I think you can appreciate the talent and you can separate. 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.360 I say you, meaning me, I can do that. I 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.600 don't want to suggest to other people if you've experienced 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.960 something traumatic, I can understand why you might not be 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.640 able to separate it. I have not had something where 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:30.640 I feel triggered by any of that, so, but I 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.000 would give respect to anybody who felt that way, turned 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.840 it off, didn't want to hear anything. But I feel 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.440 like I can separate some of the brilliance and talent. 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.360 It makes me sad when you hear the beautiful voice 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.800 and the unbelievable brilliance of some of these artists, and 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.160 to think what they were potentially capable of on the 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:52.000 other side, but to also enjoy how wonderful their music 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:55.240 and art is. That it's something I can separate. How 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:55.600 about you. 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:57.760 I think you nailed it when you said it should 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.600 just be a personal choice. We don't have to make 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.280 a decision or what's best. No, it really is a 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:09.080 personal choice. I I have all these artists. I have 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:13.679 to tell you. R Kelly has been his music. R 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:15.679 Kelly and Diddy. That's the nineties. 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:16.000 Wow. 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.079 That the stuff you listened to from junior high to 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.640 high school and starting call that's the stuff's gonna be 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.960 with you the rest of your life. Those were the 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:27.640 guys who got me through those particular years. So that 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.240 is you talk about the most listened to artists I 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.320 would have had in the nineties, those two guys. 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.760 And you can't and for you, I don't. I don't 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.480 think it's fair to ask that you somehow stop liking 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.080 those songs or loving those songs, or having those songs 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:41.960 take you back to that point in your life where 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.320 you had good times and care free times. I think 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:45.880 that's okay, I do. 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:51.200 It's just it. It does again. Ditty and Smoky and 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:55.000 Tyler here haven't been convicted of a thing, but it's 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:58.160 just one of those things to where you're it's tarnished. 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.200 Something about the legacy scene to be tarnished. All of 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.200 this stuff can be completely made up and false, and 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.520 maybe Diddy goes home right and guilty. 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.800 And I was just gonna say, sadly to jump on 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:13.960 what you were saying these days, just to be accused 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:17.160 of something is to be tarnished forever for a lot 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:18.840 of people, in a lot of folks minds, and that 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:20.640 is unfortunate. But that is where we are. 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.560 We will see what happens with Ditty. Yeah, we might 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.720 be close to a jury getting the case very soon 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.000 the next up here. This will keep us talking for 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.960 a long time. We have this discussion somewhat daily. I 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.120 think if if you ask anybody of robes, what are 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:39.040 the recommendations for how much adults should consume alcohol every day? 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.360 I think a lot of adults, certainly over the age 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.760 of thirty at this point, you've heard it so much. Yeah, 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.160 you can recite it for women. It's one drink or 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.880 less a day. For men, it's two drinks or less 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.480 per day, so that might be changing. 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.120 Yeah. And the thing is, I also have heard recently, 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.080 there's been a big recent surge in this that no 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.880 amount of alcohol is safe, that no amount of alcohol 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.760 is okay because you are introducing toxins to your body. 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:03.040 Why not recommend that? 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:06.280 Right? Well, but they haven't, right, why not? There are 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.600 a lot of interested parties who might wish you to 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:13.240 consider otherwise. And look, you also, truthfully, how many times 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:17.520 have has a centurion been interviewed someone who makes it 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.240 past one hundred and they say, what's your key to 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.440 a long, happy life? I have a glass of wine 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.760 every day and or I have a shot of whiskey 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:30.200 every night. I mean, you hear that consistently. So part 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.440 of it is balance. I think you know you want 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:34.960 to say, well, I work out every day, I eat, right, 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:36.640 If I really want to have a glass of wine 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.120 or two every day, is that actually going to kill me? 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:41.240 And then I've gone to this whole thing where what 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.840 do I lose three years? Four years, the last four 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:45.920 years of my life. I might be okay with that 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.120 if I can actually have a little bit more fun you're. 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:48.880 Playing any mind games? 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:49.160 That's right? 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:55.760 Okay, we're talking about the federal governments recommendations, right, yes. 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:58.040 Does do other people have these same thought? 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:01.520 I don't think they do. Okay, Sorry, the federal government 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.440 might change the recommendation of one drink for a woman 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.080 and two drinks for a man. They might change it 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.440 to what's the recommendation Now, They're not going to give one. 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.399 They're not going to recommend a number of drinks that 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:15.760 might be safe. They're just going to say possibly to 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.520 do it in moderation. This is according to who does Reuters? 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.280 I think Reuters is reporting that this is going to 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.760 come from the Department of Health and Human Services, that 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.640 they're going to take away those numbers, and yes, next 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:28.760 month say hey, we're not going to tell you men 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.240 how many drinks per day you should have and women 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:33.160 how many drinks per day you should have. And look, 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.240 I know we have different genetic makeups, but I actually 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.800 think that's fair because think about it, how much you weigh, 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:43.040 how tall you are, what your genes are, what types 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:46.600 of ability you may personally have, it you inherited to 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:51.119 metabolize alcohol? Everyone is different. How much food did you 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.679 eat you know, if you had one drink and you 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:55.359 didn't eat all day, or you had two drinks and 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.280 you had a lot of meals, you have a different 0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.760 alcohol you know, percentage in. 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.440 Your b So how do you recommend what should they recommend? 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.360 So they're recommending just drinking moderation. 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.320 You know what I appreciate. They're treating us like adults, 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:12.400 drinking moderation, and if you don't, your consequences will be 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:16.800 your guide. Well, your wait, reality will be your consequences. 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.359 But they give us all kinds of recommendations on how 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:22.080 many calories we should have, how much vitamin this, this, this, 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:23.639 and this we should have, how long you should be 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:25.919 in the sun, how much exposure you should have to this, 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:27.359 how many meals you used to have a day, how 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:29.119 much water you should drink a day. You're telling me, 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:31.479 you give me all these recommendations on my health, and 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:33.600 this one about a toxin you're just gonna say, hey, 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:34.840 figure it out, your a big boy. 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.000 But there are some benefits to some alcohols. There are 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:41.000 lower rates of this cancer. There are higher rates of 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.320 X cancer. I mean there are, and they're always consistently changing. 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.840 Because how do you get a focus group where you 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.520 can actually say all other things are equal. That's the 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:53.400 hard part when you're dealing with humans. Science isn't actually 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:56.240 exact when it comes to that kind of thing. When 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:57.199 you're studying groups. 0:18:57.320 --> 0:18:59.720 Okay, that's fine, but they can give us all those 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:03.200 other recommendations. In general. There are some people who should 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:06.640 be on a two thousand Calleri diet, others should be 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:10.120 on a thirty five hundred for different reasons. All kinds 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:13.440 of stuff you can. So they're giving us a baseline, 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:14.760 give me the baseline. 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:16.680 I think they're just saying, you guys, figure it out. 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:20.800 I don't want that good Like doctors. Could you imagine 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:26.080 going through your doctor with whatever problem your foot's broken? Woof, 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:27.200 it looks tough. 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:31.840 Do the best you can walk in moderation rows. 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.960 This is crazy. I would like a recommendation. I would 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:37.520 like to know that I'm hitting some kind of target 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.960 that gives me a better chance. Now zero, I'm probably 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:43.440
