Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Jetty and now he Armstrong and Yetty
Speaker 2: eight seconds left.
Speaker 1: Fox has it ahead to Fasel gone and the San
Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs done it.
Speaker 3: There will be a new champion in the NBA. A
Speaker 3: new era has done.
Speaker 1: It's Wendy's West Thelus Spurs are.
Speaker 3: Going to the NBA Final. Yep, that's gonna be exciting.
Speaker 3: Spurs Nicks if you like basketball, and I love the
Speaker 3: idea of when beyond a plane of Madison Square Garden
Speaker 3: in front of all those stars, and if he can
Speaker 3: win it, if they win, it'll be because of him,
Speaker 3: and he'd be the MVP. He'd be the second youngest
Speaker 3: player to ever lead a team to an NBA championship.
Speaker 3: Magic Johnson was twenty when he led the Lakers to
Speaker 3: the championship. Twenty Wow, that is young. But when Bion
Speaker 3: is only twenty two, that'd be fun to watch. So
Speaker 3: we'll get to this a little bit later, but I
Speaker 3: figured this would happen. They got Jill Biden a Super
Speaker 3: Softball interview for her first interview, rolling out her new book,
Speaker 3: first time she's ever really answered questions about that whole
Speaker 3: period of her husband clearly not capable of being president anymore,
Speaker 3: and all that sort of stuff. Super Softball interview yesterday.
Speaker 3: Well they're getting harder little by little, And she was
Speaker 3: on the Today Show today and I'm already reading some
Speaker 3: of the clips from that. Was he slowing down a
Speaker 3: little bit when he got tired? Did he stutter a
Speaker 3: little bit at night? Yeah? Sure, but he was still
Speaker 3: doing the job, and he was doing a good job
Speaker 3: to the whole. She didn't see him, you know, flagging
Speaker 3: it all. Did he stutter a little bit at night?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, going with the stutter, still claiming that
Speaker 3: that was what. Guy's got a stutter anyway. I had
Speaker 3: a kef care as she does more interviews, will and
Speaker 3: I have a feeling she's gonna get pressed more and
Speaker 3: more as she does more. Stephen A. Smith on CNN
Speaker 3: yesterday blast in some of our answers as ridiculous, And
Speaker 3: everybody's got the same take on that whole. I thought
Speaker 3: he was having a stroke thing. It's either a lie
Speaker 3: or you're a bad human being, though those are the
Speaker 3: only two options. You're either lying that you thought he
Speaker 3: was having a stroke, or you're a horrible human being
Speaker 3: that said, I think he's having a stroke, but I'm
Speaker 3: gonna take him out to the waffle house later.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Well, if you were to accept that scenario as
Speaker 1: even being conceivable, you'd be a terrible human being and
Speaker 1: a moron, because if you're going to use the guy,
Speaker 1: you'd want to get him treatment for his stroke so
Speaker 1: you could continue to use him. Leaving a stroke untreated
Speaker 1: is not a strategy for anyone. So that that idea
Speaker 1: is so completely implausible, I mean, which obviously you know,
Speaker 1: it's just almost a hilarious lie.
Speaker 3: Only the stupidest stupid though good believe it. Well, the
Speaker 3: interview chick, Lady Chick, she's sixty five years old, but
Speaker 3: the woman interviewing, Jill Bible, she is seventy five. If
Speaker 3: she was a day on CBS yesterday, I just said,
Speaker 3: oh really, that must have been scary.
Speaker 1: It was two old bats chatting that. It was ridiculous.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a journalism and in any shape or form.
Speaker 3: Okay, maybe more on that later. Jill's gonna do more interviews,
Speaker 3: and they're gonna get harder the further she goes along.
Speaker 3: Big race, two big races in California for governor and
Speaker 3: for mayor of Los Angeles, one for mayor for LA.
Speaker 3: He's gotten more attention for whatever reason. Part of it
Speaker 3: because uh Spencer Pratt and his style, his free wheeling
Speaker 3: Trump like style and all the cool AI ads he's
Speaker 3: put out and everything like that. But he's done a
Speaker 3: couple more interviews pretty much constantly leading up to the
Speaker 3: primary tomorrow, running against the sitting mayor, Karen Bess. Here's
Speaker 3: a little Spencer Pratt. Would you vote for me?
Speaker 4: It's gonna just be a mandate and change. Enough is enough.
Speaker 4: I'm the one with compassion, no matter what these people
Speaker 4: tell you. I don't want people dying on the street.
Speaker 4: I don't want our tax money going to the needles
Speaker 4: to kill these people. I want to get them in treatment.
Speaker 4: I want to help them. I want to help the dogs.
Speaker 3: I have a heart.
Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on in the city of
Speaker 4: LA but I do care, and I'm going to continue
Speaker 4: to care, and I'm gonna fight for If it is
Speaker 4: eight years to make all the changes we need, it'll
Speaker 4: be eight years.
Speaker 3: It's worked for a long time, the whole. If you
Speaker 3: want to do anything about drug addicts on the street.
Speaker 3: You're hardhearted and mean as opposed to we'll just let
Speaker 3: the population grow and let them live on the street.
Speaker 3: That's the compassionate one, and.
Speaker 1: Let them die of overdoses. Yeah, he goes on, this is.
Speaker 4: The greatest in the whole country. This is the best city
Speaker 4: in the nation, and we can get it to be
Speaker 4: the number one place on earth.
Speaker 3: We gotta fight.
Speaker 4: We just can't sit back.
Speaker 3: Everyone needs to do their part.
Speaker 4: I'll do mine, but I need everyone to come together
Speaker 4: and we'll change it together.
Speaker 3: Okay, So what's his opponent? Is likely opponent because I
Speaker 3: think tomorrow, according to the polls, it's gonna be narrowed
Speaker 3: down to him and the city mayor Bass. This is
Speaker 3: what she's had to say.
Speaker 5: Well, I think for the undecided voters to understand that
Speaker 5: they have a choice to make, and that choice is
Speaker 5: a Reality TV villain. Really, how did that work for
Speaker 5: us on a national level?
Speaker 3: That's one choice.
Speaker 5: The other choice is a city council person who's been
Speaker 5: in city hall twice as long as I have.
Speaker 3: Okay, So she's building up the other competitor in the race,
Speaker 3: who's a distant third in the poland currently whatever her
Speaker 3: name is, I forget.
Speaker 1: She's Democratic Socialist of America.
Speaker 3: Ken. Yeah, the whole Trump was a reality star. So
Speaker 3: because this guy was on a reality whatever.
Speaker 5: Good argument more from the mayor to me, that's one
Speaker 5: of the most important issues in our city is people
Speaker 5: feeling safe. You can't feel safe that there's an encampment there.
Speaker 5: It's not safe for the people in the encampment, and
Speaker 5: it's not safe for the people around.
Speaker 3: How do you do business what? I don't know what
Speaker 3: her point was there. I don't know what that clip was.
Speaker 3: There are encampments because you've allowed the encampments to be there,
Speaker 3: so i'd need to hear that in context. Wow, I
Speaker 3: saw one.
Speaker 1: He will get this stupid vote the stupid I always
Speaker 1: vote Democrat vote.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, I don't know if it's all stupid people.
Speaker 3: It's people who just are scared to death of ever
Speaker 3: changing party or feel like they'd be betraying their family
Speaker 3: and friends or something if they ever voted for a
Speaker 3: different party.
Speaker 1: It's that's what's the word stupid.
Speaker 3: Anyway, go ahead, We're going to narrow it down to
Speaker 3: the two tomorrow. I would guess Spencer Pratt and the.
Speaker 1: Sitting Mare I'm looking at the San Francisco Chronicles endorsement
Speaker 1: of Scott Wiener, who's one of the worst people on earth.
Speaker 1: He wants man boy love and sex changes for confused
Speaker 1: autistic children and just you know, legalized prostitution, street walkers
Speaker 1: walking by your kids' school, and gosh, where's their summary?
Speaker 1: Do you want vibes or do you want a man
Speaker 1: who will fight for the things that matter LGBTQ protections, healthcare?
Speaker 3: And he wants to replace Nancy Pelosi in her congressional seat. Yeah, exactly, Yeah,
Speaker 3: all right, I'm not even gonna which Nancy Pelosi held
Speaker 3: since pre electricity. That's correct.
Speaker 1: God dag it. This is so annoying and your sight sucks, Chronicle.
Speaker 1: Throw that into the indictment. It's unusable. All right, good,
Speaker 1: finally got away from it. Yeah, so you asked yes
Speaker 1: or last hour? Will California become more like Texas? Or
Speaker 1: will Texas become more like California over time?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to let my father be the wishes
Speaker 1: of my thoughts. I see signs of turnarounds, and like
Speaker 1: Portland for a glimmer there in Oregon as a whole,
Speaker 1: a little bit in Washington State.
Speaker 3: But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Chronicle is endorsing Scott efing Wiener.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So back to the LA Mayor's race. Spencer Pratt had
Speaker 3: a good one over the weekend, I thought with the
Speaker 3: their writing my ads for me, and it was a
Speaker 3: picture of a one of the voting boxes where you
Speaker 3: can drop off the votes, which is a ridiculous way
Speaker 3: to a little election. Just have a box somewhere where
Speaker 3: everybody goes and drops whoever wants to drop them off,
Speaker 3: and they go who knows where but the street people,
Speaker 3: drug addicts sleeping around the box. Sheet had to climb
Speaker 3: over drug addicts to put your ballot into the box.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is right in his ads for him. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's a good one. Yeah, we'll see, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: Is they need help, they need compassion, we need funding
Speaker 1: for homeless programs. Answers more than half the electorate of
Speaker 1: Kelly Nigornea.
Speaker 3: So before we take a break, you said there was
Speaker 3: some reaction to my rant. I went on Friday after
Speaker 3: the show and the One More Thing podcast. It's the
Speaker 3: cursingest podcast we've ever put out. So if you was horrified.
Speaker 3: If you like f bombs, endless f bombs, that's the
Speaker 3: one to listen to. One more thing, as I was
Speaker 3: quite angry, as I often am, about trying to deal
Speaker 3: with websites and do paperwork and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: Interestingly, we received a number of reactions via email, but
Speaker 1: a handful of them were folks who have to deal
Speaker 1: with the VA and have said I've just given up.
Speaker 1: I just call now and wait till a human can
Speaker 1: talk to me because I cannot use the website.
Speaker 3: Doesn't know.
Speaker 1: I can't attest to that personally, but I found that
Speaker 1: very very troubling.
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of the ones that stymied me last week
Speaker 3: was the DMV website, and I just kept doing it
Speaker 3: over and over again, which is supposed to be the faster,
Speaker 3: easier way to do it's the way they want you
Speaker 3: to do it, and it just kept, you know, type
Speaker 3: in all the information, go through the whole thing every
Speaker 3: single time. That's just cannot process your action at this time,
Speaker 3: Try again later, mm F you and the horse f
Speaker 3: and wrote in on so, yeah, I've hearn that, but
Speaker 3: can AI really take over the world when we're still
Speaker 3: stuck with this? Are those such different categories they don't
Speaker 3: have anything to do with each other.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I would be guessing I liked talk
Speaker 1: to the human beings. It usually went very well.
Speaker 3: God dang it, no kidding, that's never coming back, though,
Speaker 3: that'll never come back, hopefully. I guess. The only hope
Speaker 3: is AI gets so good that it'll be like talking
Speaker 3: to a human being and they can handle the subtleties
Speaker 3: of your problem, because we all know that's the current.
Speaker 3: There's no subtlety at all. They give you like three
Speaker 3: categories to choose from, and your problem is not one
Speaker 3: of those three, So you guess which one's the closest
Speaker 3: you go from there? Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1: I think about various inquiries I've made to the AI
Speaker 1: chat pots, and they do a good job with subtlety
Speaker 1: and detail.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, maybe, wow, that'd be something if there's
Speaker 3: a return to customer service through AI. Now today, we
Speaker 3: mentioned earlier in the show, Florida just sued chat GPT.
Speaker 3: It's the first state suing a big chat bot for
Speaker 3: being all kinds of bad, including making us dumber. They're
Speaker 3: suing them for making us dumber.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I didn't have that much hand room already,
Speaker 1: I s I don't appreciate it. I like the voicemail syster.
Speaker 3: What do you call it?
Speaker 1: The phone tree, the voice activated? What's that's whatever the
Speaker 1: term is. I love the ones that have gone to
Speaker 1: a lot of trouble that the almost always a woman,
Speaker 1: because people tend to get less angry at women. They
Speaker 1: went to a great deal of trouble to make sure
Speaker 1: the inflections are very human sounding. Hmm.
Speaker 3: Let me check into that for you, right.
Speaker 1: You know, but they're every bit as bad as the
Speaker 1: tell me what you're looking for? Change account number? Would
Speaker 1: you like to check your balance? No, like to change
Speaker 1: my number? Would you like to check your balance?
Speaker 3: Hmm? Let me work on that.
Speaker 1: And I swear there's a direct correlation between how how
Speaker 1: hard they work on making it sounds human and how
Speaker 1: completely affing not human it is.
Speaker 3: You just saying that this is making my heart I
Speaker 3: wish I had a heart monitor on. I'm sure my
Speaker 3: heart started beating faster and my blood pressure started going up. Gott.
Speaker 3: I hate dealing with that sort of thing. It's so
Speaker 3: frustrating there. I don't know, there's some uncanny valley thing
Speaker 3: happening there to where it's just like I'm being stymied
Speaker 3: by something that's kind of human but not.
Speaker 1: Then the punchline is always having given up on the website,
Speaker 1: you Dilley eight hundred number, and the first thing they
Speaker 1: tell you on the eight hundred number is, you know
Speaker 1: you can get faster service through the website. And I'd
Speaker 1: like to crawl through that phone and choke you out.
Speaker 3: Oh boy, Uh yeah. Joe Biden's doing more interviews, got
Speaker 3: some hilarious answers of all other things on the way
Speaker 3: stay here.
Speaker 7: Probably a big Twitter and fiftieth birthday party for America Concert.
Speaker 7: They announced the lineup Vanilla Ice, I'm not making that
Speaker 7: Vanilla Ice, Milli, Vanilli, Morris Day, Bretton Michaels. I think
Speaker 7: this is very admirable about the president. It shows he's
Speaker 7: concern for the unemployed.
Speaker 3: And then.
Speaker 7: And then after they announced this all star lineup, a
Speaker 7: lot of them said, no, what are you talking about?
Speaker 3: We're not playing.
Speaker 7: That's got to hurt a lot when you can't close
Speaker 7: the deal with Milly Vanilla.
Speaker 3: So I didn't follow this story of the weekend. I
Speaker 3: just saw the headlines. So were those people booked? And
Speaker 3: I mean, was that gonna be the show? I'm gonna
Speaker 3: start and the lead singer from Poison or whatever that is.
Speaker 1: Or whatever that is. Yeah, all right, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: You got two different groups, the Trump aligned Freedom two
Speaker 1: fifty and the bipartisan allegedly Congress Established America to fifty
Speaker 1: are both like planning separate events, different events. Okay, The
Speaker 1: Trump aligned Freedom two fifty planned what actually sounded cool.
Speaker 3: It was a.
Speaker 1: Two week long, little more than two week long Great
Speaker 1: American State Fair on the National Mall, which would have
Speaker 1: displays from all the states and what makes them unique
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah, and then musical performances including country
Speaker 1: singer Martina McBride and rocker Brett michaels Well.
Speaker 3: Whoa did did did? He did? Some of his His
Speaker 3: calendar app said it was nineteen ninety one and he
Speaker 3: had the year wrong. Martina McBride, I'm a country music fan.
Speaker 3: I played all her songs when she was a big deal.
Speaker 3: Working at a bar in the early nineties.
Speaker 1: Having passed the topmost part of the barrel and the
Speaker 1: kind of middle top of the barrel, in the middle
Speaker 1: of the barrel, and then the lower regions of the barrel,
Speaker 1: I believe we're at the bottom of the barrel, Brett,
Speaker 1: Michael's a motley crew, which one is?
Speaker 3: Which hair band is?
Speaker 2: He?
Speaker 3: No poison poison?
Speaker 1: Guess I only know that because I'm looking at a
Speaker 1: picture of him and he's got a poison t shirt on.
Speaker 3: So I was right the first time. He's poisoned. But
Speaker 3: he's got to be my age, He's gotta be sixty
Speaker 3: something something like that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, so it was gonna have the displays in one
Speaker 1: hundred and ten foot ferris wheel. But then within days
Speaker 1: of the announcement, McBride and Michael's in many of the
Speaker 1: other performers Withdrew saying they didn't know was a political event.
Speaker 1: They thought it was like the Congressional two hundred and
Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary.
Speaker 3: Thing, and it wasn't. It was Trump's right.
Speaker 1: And Trump responded to this in Trump and Fashion, saying, quote,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about bringing the number one attraction anywhere in
Speaker 1: the world, the man who gets much larger audiences than
Speaker 1: Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar,
Speaker 1: announcing himself as the headliner. And he would just do
Speaker 1: one of his political rally monologues there at the Big
Speaker 1: America State Fair singing.
Speaker 3: Well, if the competition was Brett Michaels, I think he's
Speaker 3: a better choice.
Speaker 1: Well, Lenny true stout insults towards the third rate artists.
Speaker 1: Dude flaked from the show, and it's all.
Speaker 3: Kind of do you think you could be blinded by love?
Speaker 8: Of course I could be blinded by love. I hope
Speaker 8: that I am blinded by love. But that's what you know,
Speaker 8: People say what a great president he was. You know,
Speaker 8: he was kind, he was empathetic, he was strong, he
Speaker 8: was steady, He he did things for the good of
Speaker 8: American people, and I mean he was he was a
Speaker 8: leader on the world stage, and I think that'll be
Speaker 8: Joe's legacy.
Speaker 3: I assume CBS got that first interview by a great
Speaker 3: to certain terms for that interview, which is why it
Speaker 3: was such a practically puff piece. I mean, yeah, it
Speaker 3: was embarrassing. But you could have, as the interviewer say,
Speaker 3: on the day that he dropped out, his approval rating
Speaker 3: was I think thirty seven percent and was very low
Speaker 3: in his own party, and then.
Speaker 1: Of Americans thought he was too old and senile, and
Speaker 1: then bother you let her respond to that. I'm sure
Speaker 1: she would have blamed the biased conservative media that we
Speaker 1: all complain about all the time. So doctor Jill has
Speaker 1: taken a break from her medical practice to continue the
Speaker 1: interview circuit. And here she is on the Today Show
Speaker 1: talking to one Craig Melvin.
Speaker 6: In the days and weeks after that, you continue to
Speaker 6: insist that the president was fine. How do you square
Speaker 6: thinking that he may have had a stroke with what
Speaker 6: you were saying in the days and weeks after, how do.
Speaker 3: You square this?
Speaker 8: So we go to the next event and I'm thinking,
Speaker 8: what do I say that we'll lift him up that
Speaker 8: is true. I want to say the things that are true.
Speaker 8: And so I said, you know you answered every question.
Speaker 8: My mind's racing.
Speaker 3: You know, it's a.
Speaker 6: Pretty low bar well.
Speaker 8: And so you know I had to sort of lift
Speaker 8: him up.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm his wife.
Speaker 8: I'm not going to get out on the stage there
Speaker 8: and say, Joe, you really.
Speaker 1: Screwed that up.
Speaker 8: I mean, I and we have all our supporters there,
Speaker 8: so you know that was my That's who we are.
Speaker 8: I mean, as I had to support him, I couldn't
Speaker 8: come out and I mean really publicly say Joe, you
Speaker 8: did a terrible job in that debate.
Speaker 3: I like, you answered all the questions as a pretty
Speaker 3: low bar. That pretty funny.
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to just stand there and look at But
Speaker 1: his question was how do you square fear? And he
Speaker 1: had a stroke. With all the things you said after,
Speaker 1: we're not talking about publicly, you're trotting about the campaign
Speaker 1: event after event. You never went to the doctor. I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, come on.
Speaker 3: You answered all the questions yet on the questions.
Speaker 8: Such a great job. You answered every question.
Speaker 1: You answered every question is supposed to just stood there
Speaker 1: and stared and then babbled incoherently about killing medicare. Wow.
Speaker 3: These these interviews are gonna get tougher as she goes along. Now,
Speaker 3: maybe she's cutting off after just a couple of days.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but she's done. She did CBS puff
Speaker 3: Piece yesterday. Today's show sounds a little tougher. I think
Speaker 3: she's doing CNN.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't know how many more she's.
Speaker 1: Gonna do when she's doing Morning Joe. Do you know
Speaker 1: that's tomorrow?
Speaker 3: Tomorrow?
Speaker 1: Okay, So here's the way this is gonna go, and
Speaker 1: then we'll play you another clip. She is going to
Speaker 1: go one interview too long?
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as the questions get more pointed, and that will
Speaker 1: be a veritable blood a what's the word A, Well,
Speaker 1: it'll be a bloodbath in terms of embarrassment and sputtering,
Speaker 1: and in.
Speaker 3: The rest it'll be terrible.
Speaker 1: And then she will announce she's not doing any more
Speaker 1: interviews except carefully selected.
Speaker 3: Ones, like happened with us. We were supposed to interview
Speaker 3: Aunica Lewinsky and somebody hit her with some like really
Speaker 3: really hard questions and she canceled the rest of the
Speaker 3: She didn't do any more interviews. That's like an hour
Speaker 3: before we were going to talk to her, or like
Speaker 3: when you were so rude to America's Vice Princess Tanya
Speaker 3: Harding and you ended her press jun Kit, she wouldn't
Speaker 3: do any more interviews after that, right because I did
Speaker 3: the awful thing I wanted to talk about, And I mean,
Speaker 3: this is a gazillion years ago now, but her and
Speaker 3: Nancy Kerrigan, I'm not here to talk about that, to
Speaker 3: which my reply was, that's the only reason has anybody
Speaker 3: has any interest in you whatsoever? Is you being tied
Speaker 3: to that whole story. So if you don't talk about that,
Speaker 3: what are we doing? And that happens with a lot
Speaker 3: of people, is they don't want to talk about the
Speaker 3: thing that made them famous us.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyway, here's the next clip.
Speaker 3: George Clooney.
Speaker 6: George Clooney, the actors said it a private fundraise before
Speaker 6: the debate quote, Biden was the same man we saw
Speaker 6: that we all witness on that debate stage. Even a
Speaker 6: former chief of staff said that his memory hit worsened
Speaker 6: over the course of his presidency.
Speaker 8: He aged, he did, he got older, and we all
Speaker 8: saw him aging. We you know, there were the words
Speaker 8: that he worth forget.
Speaker 1: You know, we were all aging.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's a half wit making defense of
Speaker 1: the indefensible.
Speaker 3: She sounds sharp, though, how old is she? How much
Speaker 3: younger is she than Joe? Can he come up with
Speaker 3: an age on her? Roal Cook forest Miga? But she
Speaker 3: her brain still works, clearly, she's a duplicitous yeah, and
Speaker 3: self serving, but her brain seems to work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she thinks she can smile and cajoel and just
Speaker 1: get people to forget what they already know to be true.
Speaker 1: And it's just it's it's it's she can't at this point.
Speaker 3: She's seventy four. Oh, okay, she's quite a bit younger.
Speaker 3: She's seventy four. But yeah, her brain still works. Which
Speaker 3: the reason I'm bringing that up is that puts away
Speaker 3: any chance that, you know, she was sliding too, and
Speaker 3: so it didn't catch on. No, her brain works fine,
Speaker 3: she understands the whole deal. Yeah. Look, and I'm still
Speaker 3: young and strong as a bull. Everybody knows that about me.
Speaker 1: But I have friends who are older, and my wife
Speaker 1: has friends who are older, and we know some folks
Speaker 1: who are dealing with age related memory decline or dementia
Speaker 1: or that sort of thing. And the idea that the
Speaker 1: spouse is like, oh, no, everything's great, Oh I haven't
Speaker 1: noticed anything come on. That never happens. Everybody involved is
Speaker 1: terrified and sad and attuned to every sign. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe not every human being, but boy, that's in my experience.
Speaker 1: Nobody's like glossing over the fact that the person they
Speaker 1: loved more than anybody else in the world is clearly
Speaker 1: struggling mentally.
Speaker 3: So my boys and I went to a breakfast. Usually
Speaker 3: on Sundays we go eat at the fabulous Puda Creek
Speaker 3: Cafe where our crumb did all this cartoon work. AnyWho, Um,
Speaker 3: We're sitting there on a bench because there's always weight
Speaker 3: because it's so amazing. And we're sitting there on the
Speaker 3: bench and I say, how have I never noticed that
Speaker 3: palm tree before. There's a in the middle of Winters, California.
Speaker 3: There's one giant palm tree, and I mean, this is
Speaker 3: nowhere near where you usually have palm trees, incredibly tall.
Speaker 3: I said, look how tall that palm tree is. I've
Speaker 3: never seen that before. And my kids said, that's you
Speaker 3: mentioned that last time we were here, and I said
Speaker 3: I did. I said, yeah, you said exactly the same thing.
Speaker 3: He said, how have I never seen that palm tree before?
Speaker 3: And there's a underneath it that says this is old.
Speaker 3: Don't forget this palm tree. There's a sign under this
Speaker 3: say is something like this is old Grandpa, or something
Speaker 3: like that planet in nineteen oh two. So palm tree
Speaker 3: has been there for one hundred and twenty some years,
Speaker 3: which is really pretty amazing. I'd hand down trees lived
Speaker 3: that long. Anyway, I didn't know that either, which I said,
Speaker 3: I said, who knew palm tree smoked that bun? And
Speaker 3: they said you do because you said the same thing
Speaker 3: about the sign the last time. Oh boy. So there's
Speaker 3: two things to that story. One, it's disturbing that I've
Speaker 3: had that conversation with my kids and I have zero
Speaker 3: memory of it. I mean zero, not even a hint. Secondly,
Speaker 3: my kids are aware of that. Yeah, they're completely aware
Speaker 3: of the fact that I've had that, that I've said
Speaker 3: that before and I don't remember it. To the whole
Speaker 3: Joe Biden thing, the fact that Hunter or Jill never
Speaker 3: noticed him being that way. Come on, it's hilarious.
Speaker 1: And they're both still claiming that, you know, it's a
Speaker 1: family of liars in a profession of liars, Benga, and
Speaker 1: they're still thank you, sir, and they're still lying.
Speaker 3: I think that it's as simple as that.
Speaker 1: And she's trying to sell the books because she needs
Speaker 1: the money and doesn't want to come off as a
Speaker 1: villain and an elder abuser. Although you've made the point,
Speaker 1: you're the only person I've heard say this, and it's
Speaker 1: absolutely one hundred percent true. If she'd come clean, that's
Speaker 1: a book I'd write. I'd have bought it in a
Speaker 1: hardcover man.
Speaker 3: Oh no kidding, no kidding. She's got the most interesting
Speaker 3: book potentially out there, right, She's going to be loyal
Speaker 3: to her husband. Yeah, maybe after he dies, maybe she decides,
Speaker 3: you know what, now it's done, I'm gonna get rich.
Speaker 1: Still gonna need money. Hunter will be hitting her up
Speaker 1: every week or two. Hey, momy taking more art classes.
Speaker 1: Send me a thousand bucks, maybe even five hundred would
Speaker 1: be good. Come on, come on, how.
Speaker 3: Disturbed do you think I should be about that tree story?
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sixty one, not eighty one. It doesn't
Speaker 3: seem like that should be happening yet.
Speaker 1: But you you have challenges with memory. Do you remember this?
Speaker 1: I'm asking that your chemotherapy, I don't know. I can't
Speaker 1: remember that. Well, your treatment for cancer I had cancer.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Uh, well that affects it.
Speaker 3: And then lack of sleep because you never get enough sleep. True,
Speaker 3: that's true. You don't drink anymore. No, I gotta admit
Speaker 3: the tree one bothered me. It's like I've mentioned that
Speaker 3: tree before and they said, yes, yes. We had this
Speaker 3: conversation like six months ago. You said, I can't believe
Speaker 3: I've never noticed that tree before, and then you mentioned
Speaker 3: that sign. So are you sure? Because I have no
Speaker 3: memory of this whatsoever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not entirely comfortable with this conversation on the air.
Speaker 3: If you want to know the truth. Why anything that
Speaker 3: lawyers are gonna get involved.
Speaker 1: Or no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3: No lawyers. Well tell me why you're uncomfortable a few lawyers.
Speaker 3: That makes this more interesting radio, the fact that you're uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: I don't. I can't be cajoled and you can say
Speaker 3: anything you want because here's a good thing. Oh, I'll
Speaker 3: forget ah, you said it. I could hide my own
Speaker 3: Easter eggs. I mean I seriously could. I told my
Speaker 3: kids that yesterday. I said, I, honest to God, could
Speaker 3: hide my own Easter eggs.
Speaker 1: Nuff said. Does that concern you? Yes, well, of course
Speaker 1: it does.
Speaker 3: But the doctors, when I've ever I brought it up
Speaker 3: to doctors, they're like, I told you, the one is
Speaker 3: the uh. Forgetting where you put your keys is fine.
Speaker 3: Forgetting what you use the keys for is when you
Speaker 3: have a problem. Okay, Well I'm not that level. I've
Speaker 3: never grabbed my car keys and said, one, are these for?
Speaker 3: I know they're from my car, but to right right? Yeah,
Speaker 3: Oh that's a great h that's a great dividing line.
Speaker 3: If that's the case, then don't worry about it. Who
Speaker 3: cares if you don't remember mentioning that tree. Maybe it's
Speaker 3: just a it's not remarkable enough to stick at My
Speaker 3: brain is saying at this point, you've seen a lot
Speaker 3: of trees in your life. This is not one to
Speaker 3: file away. We got other more important pains to remember.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just about to make semi a joke.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe the conversation wasn't worth remembering.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're passing the time waiting for our table. Yeah
Speaker 3: that could be. It didn't sink in. We have some
Speaker 3: pretty big financial news that just broke that we can
Speaker 3: hit you with. There are gonna be some of the
Speaker 3: biggest IPOs in the history of investing opportunities coming up,
Speaker 3: and a new one just got announced, among other things.
Speaker 3: On the way stay here.
Speaker 1: Jill not only brought up to that rally, but when
Speaker 1: that was over same night, she said he had a stroke.
Speaker 3: She dragged his corpse to w For real, Look at
Speaker 3: this video at them at.
Speaker 1: Waffle house one in the morning, at a freaking waffle house,
Speaker 1: and they're walking around and she's got to get him
Speaker 1: out of there before he picks the fight with corn pop.
Speaker 3: Okay, I will be fair to her about one thing.
Speaker 1: They only went to waffle house to buy some crack
Speaker 1: for Hunter in the parking lot.
Speaker 3: Drag his corpse to waffle house is a pretty funny line, uncharitable.
Speaker 3: So this is breaking news. And Thropics one of your
Speaker 3: biggest AI companies. They're the one behind Claude. They have
Speaker 3: confidentially filed apparently not that confidential because it's out in
Speaker 3: the New York Times for an IPO, an initial public
Speaker 3: offering becoming the latest to join, which which is going
Speaker 3: to be a once in a generation money making moment
Speaker 3: on Wall Street when Nthropics, IPO, SPACEXIT, and open open
Speaker 3: Ai all hit at the same time. Three of the
Speaker 3: biggest IPOs in the history of investing all happening at
Speaker 3: the same time.
Speaker 1: I know there's quite the race between open Ai and
Speaker 1: Anthropic to be the first for reasons that Wall streeters
Speaker 1: could explain to him.
Speaker 3: So I didn't know this. Andanthropic officially passed open Ai
Speaker 3: last week as the most valuable AI startup, now valued
Speaker 3: at nine hundred billion dollars as opposed to open AI's
Speaker 3: seven hundred and thirty billion, So Entropic is now bigger
Speaker 3: than chat GPT or Claud's bigger than Chat GPT. I
Speaker 3: still think they made money I still think of chat
Speaker 3: GPT as a leader, but they are not. The IPO
Speaker 3: would be among the biggest ever, along with SpaceX and
Speaker 3: open Ai, and it's going to create a tsunami of
Speaker 3: investment and employee wealth and quite possibly meant the very
Speaker 3: first trillionaire in world history, Elon Musk, who's got fifty
Speaker 3: percent of space X. More details to come on this
Speaker 3: whole story. I was just reading about the whole stock
Speaker 3: options thing with SpaceX. This was on Elon's own Twitter feed.
Speaker 3: They gave a lot of them employees stock options and
Speaker 3: stuff early on when they couldn't pay him when they
Speaker 3: were a startup. He said, there's a bunch of people
Speaker 3: that are going to end up crazy wealthy soon. They've
Speaker 3: been working for the company for a long time.
Speaker 1: Why didn't I work at SpaceX?
Speaker 3: Why didn't I become an engineer that Elon wanted to hire?
Speaker 1: Se I have no skills or aptitude is part of it.
Speaker 9: If I could have the skills, I'm probably too lazy
Speaker 9: to do it the way Elon wanted me to do it.
Speaker 1: But anyway, the skills, aptitude or attitude necessary Other than that.
Speaker 3: Wow, of course this has.
Speaker 9: All got to pan out at some point kind of
Speaker 9: the way they think it's going to well pan out.
Speaker 9: I mean, they could easily pivot that.
Speaker 1: Maybe somebody decides, oh, it turns out Mars full of
Speaker 1: poison gas and kill everybody.
Speaker 3: Never mind, but oh I wasn't thinking of SpaceX. I
Speaker 3: was thinking the chat bought people, the AIO. That's all
Speaker 3: got to pan out the way they think it's going to, right,
Speaker 3: or these would be enormous crash. These will make These
Speaker 3: will make pets dot Com seem like nothing.
Speaker 1: The petstock dot Com seem like Apple. Yeah, yeah, absolutely true.
Speaker 3: M h. It's all a bit of a gamble.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the biggest thing ever or the biggest
Speaker 1: disappointment ever.
Speaker 3: I'm hoping for the latter. Actually I am too. Way
Speaker 3: were wrong about AI. Eh, there's never gonna be artificial
Speaker 3: general intelligence. Sorry about that.
Speaker 1: It's just gonna stay way better than Google.
Speaker 3: That's it. Yeah, it's just gonna be a really good Google.
Speaker 3: And it's not gonna take over the world and eliminate
Speaker 3: jobs and upend all of mankind and then perhaps destroy us.
Speaker 3: Not gonna happen. So yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Although AI is already a fundamental part of some advanced
Speaker 1: weapons systems and defensive systems, so it's gonna be big.
Speaker 1: It just might not be big big big, like everybody's
Speaker 1: betting on.
Speaker 3: I got another comment on that, but I'll say it
Speaker 3: for my final thought.
Speaker 8: There you go, hey, folks, it said it's time for
Speaker 8: final thoughts with Jack.
Speaker 3: Ar'mstrong Joe Getty.
Speaker 4: Hopefully I for me, we can go out in a
Speaker 4: slat five and kiss my ice cream, just just have
Speaker 4: a good old time.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Joe. Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 1: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the coup
Speaker 1: to wrap up the day. There he is pressing buttons
Speaker 1: in the control room. Control room, mich Lanceelo Michael Final thought. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got a cold over the weekend, so I'm recovering.
Speaker 3: I'm feeling better.
Speaker 1: But it's amazing how bad the common cold can make
Speaker 1: you feel.
Speaker 3: Yes, yep, under remarked upon. It's common because it happens
Speaker 3: a lot, not because it's not miserable.
Speaker 1: It ought to be called the miserable cold. Yeah, Jack,
Speaker 1: final thought for us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this has been said many times, but the fact
Speaker 3: that many of the leaders in AI, including like the Grandfather,
Speaker 3: the Hinton Guy or Elon Musk put the chance of
Speaker 3: AI destroying humanity somewhere between like twenty and thirty percent.
Speaker 3: That's so crazy that we all just ignore that.
Speaker 1: Yes, something was going to destroy us. That's what I say.
Speaker 1: My final thought is I learned to play majong over
Speaker 1: the weekend. Judy taught me my daughter and my daughter's
Speaker 1: lost cool friend, and we played and played and played,
Speaker 1: And now I understand the ancient Chinese game, and I
Speaker 1: am a pretty skilled majonger. Although I was so confused
Speaker 1: at the beginning. I said to her, great, after this,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna learn calculus in Russian.
Speaker 3: Are there cards involved?
Speaker 6: Or what?
Speaker 1: Is? There?
Speaker 3: Are tiles? Jack? Tiles? Tie?
Speaker 5: Its?
Speaker 3: Okay? Yes?
Speaker 1: With a mysterious ancient Chinese symbols interesting.
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour work days.
Speaker 1: So many people thinks, so little time. Go to Armstrong
Speaker 1: and Getty dot com for the hoplings. Go there to
Speaker 1: drop us a note mail bag at Armstrong in Getty
Speaker 1: dot com and pick up's Maine g stwag a fabulous
Speaker 1: T shirt, hat or hoodie.
Speaker 3: I feel like we should talk to some business expert
Speaker 3: about all these IPOs that are headed our way because
Speaker 3: I think I love that idea question.
Speaker 1: Wonder if Jim Tankersley's available.
Speaker 3: He's always helpful, maybe a good one. Anyway, We'll have
Speaker 3: all the latest for you tomorrow. It's election day California tomorrow.
Speaker 3: See then, God bless America.
Speaker 2: I'm strong and gat.
Speaker 3: Kate David Sanger of The New York Times well sourced,
Speaker 3: saying the same thing you came up with.
Speaker 1: Well endowed but not well sourced. That's why a reputation
Speaker 1: what happened over the weekend, that maybe you need to
Speaker 1: slip that in. I don't care anymore. I've become completely cynical.
Speaker 1: I'm a nihilist, armstrong and getty.
