What the hell is that name? 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.679 And uh which you're not supposed to comment on. I 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:19.040 guess Key and Peel they're black so they can make 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.280 these jokes. I guess because it's kind of a cultural thing. 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:23.640 How long is that bit? I've never heard the whole thing, 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.560 but that is funny.

So speaking of college 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.399 cry with laughter. That is really really funny. I'll bet 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.480 when they were writing those I can see them and 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.519 the writers sitting around just dying making up those names. 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.160 And it's two guys doing all those voices. They really 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:33.400 are gifted comedians, both of them. So we I think 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.000 we played this yesterday. Michael hit me with the clip fourteen. 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:40.760 This is anti Israel quote unquote protesters at Yale blocking 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:46.519 Jewish students from going to class. 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:50.079 You can only we can only go around probably. 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:59.160 Blocking Jewish students from going to class, telling them, now 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.120 you walk around the way to class in the United 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.680 States of America into twenty twenty five, and these are 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.680 so called progressives. 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:11.400 That happened yesterday, two days ago. I believe no way, Yes, 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.400 you're kidding me. Yeah, yeah, I know. It's crazy. The 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:19.359 Yale University has stripped the Schools Students for Justice in 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.960 Palestine chapter of its status recognized student group. 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:24.760 Yes, I gotta say this, even though I've said it 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:29.160 one hundred times and it's the most predictable, obvious commentary. 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.920 You shouldn't make money making the most obvious commentary in 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:37.520 the world, But here it is. If a conservative stopped 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:42.680 one trans kid from doing anything on a college campus, 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.160 you know, Joe Biden would have given a speech about 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:47.760 it that night from the overlaps. Correct. 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:52.600 Yes, AOC would have whipped wept bitter tears. You're not 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:58.920 letting Jewish kids go to class. It's just unbelievable, all right, right. 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:02.080 You know one of the best definitions of anti Semitism 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.000 I've come across is that you there and there's a 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.480 like two sides through this. A you hold Jews to 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:12.280 a different set of standards than everyone else, and or 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.960 you hold everyone else to different standards when they're abusing 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:23.120 Jews than when they're abusing other people. Yeah, that's true, kids, transgender, 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:25.280 you know, whomever. 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:27.799 I don't know what is more troubling. If it's about 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.040 the fact that they're Jewish, or if it's just that 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:37.120 whole What is that term, the powerful versus the unpowerful? Yeah, 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:39.120 the victim of pressor Yeah, if it's the because the 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.960 victim pressure thing, that's so troubling because you can just 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.440 to apply it to so many things, and it's just 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.279 a really toxic view of the world. 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.000 Right. You know, there's some pretty good scholarship on the 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.000 particulars change, but it always ends. 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:54.320 Up in anti Semitism. Yeah. 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:58.680 The excuse here is we're not anti Semites, we're anti Zionists. Anyway, 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.680 I just thought i'd to point out that, and to 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:05.159 their credit, and I haven't dug deep into this so far, 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:09.919 Yale University seems to be doing at least some of 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.000 the right things, saying we're yanking your accreditation, you don't 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:16.000 get to do anything on campus anymore. So that's that's 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:21.159 a good step. So moving on to Harvard. A couple 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:27.800 of notes from Harvard, including one final glimpse into Matt 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:35.040 Tybee's fabulous and hilarious piece recently about them Harvard's endowment 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:39.479 fifty plus billion dollars or whatever it is, and their 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:43.080 financial picture. This is maybe apropos nothing, but I just 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.279 found it very very interesting. A lot of people mentioned 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.200 that their university president makes over a million dollars or 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:50.599 roughly a million dollars. 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:51.520 Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:57.400 That wow, But in their last disclosure, the highest salaries 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:02.880 were earned by the Harvard management company who administers their 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:04.400 gigantic endowment. 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:08.040 I was about to say, I don't have a real 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.360 handle on what an endowment is or is used or whatever. 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.040 I suppose I should look into that. But I mean, 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.400 if you've got it invested in any way that it's 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:19.480 earning interest or something, how do you need any money 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:20.120 from anybody? 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:20.360 Ever? 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:21.400 Right? 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:27.040 Fifty well efty some billion dollars. Well, here's the hilarious part. 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:34.080 Your your tenth place person at Harvard earns two point two. 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:34.960 Wow. 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.720 Then you go up to three point nine, four point two, 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.040 five point one, five point one, five point nine, six 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:45.479 point six, seven point six, and your highest paid Harvard 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.839 employee who runs the Uh, what did I just call it? 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:55.479 The corporation made nine point six million dollars and their endowment, 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.360 which is a big pot of money you invest to 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.200 grow it's that's it, and you can use it for 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:03.480 whatever you want. They did worse than an index fund. 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.839 If you'd just bought an index fund of the S 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.720 and P five hundred, it would have outperformed the Harvard Corporation. 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.440 And this guy got paid nine point six You take 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:19.440 the top ten at totals fifty million subsidized dollars spent 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.120 on a team that would have lost to an S 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:21.960 ANDP index fund. 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:24.720 Wow, it's funny because I was about to say, well, 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.800 they earned the money if they're investing properly, but you 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.720 just pointed out they're not. Right now, Jack and Wi 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:33.760 the money because you wouldn't have to be a genius 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.520 to put it in, you know, just follow an index fund. 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.040 Just get a freaking index fund. Yes, no kidding. 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.600 We can either take a break now, or we can 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.080 squeeze some of this in here and have a shorter segment. 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:45.560 Next. 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:51.480 Two really interesting pieces of writing. First of all, James Hankins, 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:56.560 who is a conservative Harvard professor apparently there is one, 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.600 wrote a piece for the Wall Street Journal a conservative 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:03.480 Harvard professor on how the university can save itself, and 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:07.840 also in the Wall Street Journal on a different day, 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:12.120 a long time Ivy League educator wrote a piece entitled 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:16.080 Harvard is an Islamist outpost. 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.840 I'm trying to squeeze in both of those. Yeah, I 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:24.000 want to hear that. That's interesting, and they're both really 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:24.640 really good. 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:28.560 The We'll let you decide whether you think the conservative 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:29.680 professor is right. 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.480 Hey, Hanson, could you post that key and peel thing 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.000 at Armstrong and getty dot com so it's easily findable 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.520 because as flipping funny, You know. 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.040 What's funny is it goes on for quite some time 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.640 and just keeps getting funnier. 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:48.200 Oh my god, that is l ol funny. Okay, we 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:57.760 had a lot of them away. Stay here. Dion Sanders kid, 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.520 and Dion Sanders was featured on sixty Minutes last year, 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.080 so I feel like some of you know who he is, 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:07.400 famous football player. I didn't realize his kid was. At 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.400 one time it thought to be the the number one 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.400 pick in the entire draft, certainly a first rounder, yeah, 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.400 high friend rounder. And then he didn't go at all. 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:16.880 Last night is interesting. 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.280 Happens every year. Yeah, it's got to be brutal, but 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.200 you know, you get over at trust. Well, some people 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:21.480 thought of. 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:23.720 It in your life. A lot of it was his 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.640 attitude is to brash, and his dad was like the 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:30.520 brashest of brash human beings who's ever walked the planet. 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.680 So what did you think? I don't know, Yeah, okay, 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:34.760 uh So. 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.760 A couple of different think pieces from a couple of 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.400 different people about Harvard that I found really really interesting. 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.839 The first from a conservative Harvard professor by the name 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.640 of James Hankins, and it's it's long, it's interesting, but 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.720 I'll just give you some highlights. The first is somewhat ironic. 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.320 Mister Hankins, who I'm sure is a nice fellow. Probably 0:09:56.360 --> 0:10:00.760 doctor Hankins is h I definitely. I think he's got 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.640 a bit of the well, yes, we have beatings here 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:05.800 at our office, but only one a day. 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.600 I think he's gotten so used to his. 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:15.760 Environs he doesn't quite get how strange they are. He 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.720 mentions that the statistic is off, cited that at most 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:23.880 three percent of Harvard faculty members identify as conservative, and 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:25.800 he's one of that three percent. He's been there for 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.480 forty years, he says, But if you look at the numbers, 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:33.080 thirty two percent say they're very liberal and forty five 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:37.480 percent liberal. That takes us to seventy seven percent and 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:41.199 twenty percent or so who confess to being moderate by 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:42.760 the standards of Harvard. 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.520 Right, I'm guessing in your mind ninety seven percent, and 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:51.040 I'm guessing your moderate's a little different than my moderate. Well, right. 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.600 And his point is a lot of the so called 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.679 liberals come up to him and say, please, don't tell 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.800 anyone I said this, and then they unload their disgust. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.600 The latest activist outrages his point being there a lot 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:07.960 more reasonable people visa VI, the real radical progressive left, 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.719 the student you know, jackasses. 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:14.880 But what's funny is he's trying to. 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.080 Explain that it's not as radical left as you think. 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:20.600 And I came away thinking, you people are insanely left. 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:21.960 Yeah, that ain't working on me. 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:25.480 What was that first number of the most the biggest 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:30.360 number is thirty two percent are very liberal and and 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:35.000 again that's their definition of very liberal. Would make your 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:39.319 head spin. Yeah, they think Karl Marx was a moderate. Yeah, 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.800 and forty percent merely liberal. But yeah, Anyway, his effort 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.080 to say it's not as crazy as you think just 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.240 reminded me of how crazy it is. 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:51.000 Basically, it's on a couple of university people I know 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.360 who consider themselves moderate liberals, and I never say anything, 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:58.480 but they are way out there. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure 0:11:58.559 --> 0:11:59.120 that's true. 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.320 And he said most of the scholars are just scholars 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.320 and scientists who want to get on with their work 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.800 and teach the next generation. And he gets into the 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:09.920 budget cuts and some of the back and forth with 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:14.680 the Trump administration, which is, you know, it's fine, it's good, 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:18.480 it's a discussion worth having. He makes the point that 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.240 the current president, Alan Garber, has actually made some really good, 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.760 strong steps. He's trying to rain in the crazies and 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:28.199 restore some semblance of the free exercise of speech and 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.160 intellectual honesty and openness. 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.520 Blah blah blah blah blah. What universities. 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.760 I mean, it's like it's like having to remind the 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:40.480 hospital you remember you're supposed to treat people's medical problems here. 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.200 I mean, the fact that you have to remind them 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.560 of that is a measure of how insane it is. 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:48.719 But he says, yeah, the new guy's actually doing some 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.720 good stuff. Yeah, maybe he is, maybe he isn't. But 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:57.440 at last point I found kind of interesting. And he says, 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.959 the one inescapable truth and higher education is that he 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.560 who pays the piper calls the tune and he and 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.160 he goes into Harvard's finances, which are really interesting but 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.880 I don't want to bore you with but he finishes 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.120 this way, there are very good reasons for Harvard or 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:15.240 other universities to reduce our financial dependence on the federal government. Instead, 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.760 we should strengthen ties with loyal alumni you know, and 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:21.360 love Harvard blah blah blah, because every administration that comes 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:22.760 in is going to tell you, now, you got to 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.040 do this, got to do that. And he says a 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:30.360 lot of the DEI crap pressures to regulate speech, trigger warnings, 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:38.040 pronouns came through political pressure as opposed to internal pressure. 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.959 Right, So you know to what extent that's true, I 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:41.560 couldn't tell you. 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:48.080 But anyway, they are bloated and progressive and radicals and lunatics. 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.280 In my opinion, I wish him luck in his future endeavors. 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.439 But good Lord, ninety seven to three, that's not reassuring. 0:13:55.080 --> 0:14:02.040 Then this from Ruth Weiss or Wissa. She's the author 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:06.120 of a memoir about Judaism. Really interesting. I read a 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.480 little bit about it. But her piece is entitled Harvard 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:14.319 is an Islamist outpost. For decades, it nurtured resentful leftists 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:18.920 and anti Semitism, united them in a common cause. And 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:23.800 she compares and contrasts in two thousand and one in 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:27.720 the wake of nine to eleven. And oh, by the way, 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.440 she taught at Harvard from nineteen ninety three through twenty fourteen, 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:36.440 so she knows of what she speaks. She says, Harvard's 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.960 leaders don't yet understand the danger that the culture of 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.680 the university poses to the country, or why it required intervention. 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:46.280 On September eleventh, the Islamist Al Kaida attacked the US 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:50.920 in a suicide mission. You remember on October seventh, twenty 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:54.840 three Hamas Islamists exploited Israel's openness by invading the country, 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.600 massacring civilians and kidnapping others. Jihadis used these new forms 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.680 of warfare against those they couldn't conquered by force. What 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.880 concerns us here is their capture of elite American schools, 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:09.520 as an outpost. As outposts, Harvard became directly implicated on 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:13.480 October eighth when the Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee issued a 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.720 statement endorsed by more than thirty student groups. 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.040 You remember this, that asserted. 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:20.720 That quote the Israeli regime was entirely responsible for all 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:21.720 unfolding violence. 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.720 Thirty student groups got together and signed that. 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.800 Students for Justice in Palestine declared October twelfth a day 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.720 of resistance and had a toolkit ready for the encampments 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:32.680 and demonstrations. 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:33.520 Blah blah blah. 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.440 They praised the unity into fought to the resistance. 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.040 Blah blah blah. 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.280 In two thousand and one, there were zero such support 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:46.760 groups for Islamists at Harvard, not a one. And then 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:51.080 she gets into the enormous amount of money that Harvard 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.960 gets from Cutter and other Islamist countries. 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.960 Yeah, I remember learning that right after October seventh around 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.280 Princeton and a couple of other universities. You know, Qatar 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.240 gives so much money to these universities, and of course 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.560 you get something for your money. 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.440 She goes into By the nineteen nineties, black campus groups 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.600 were hosting Afrocentric and Nation of Islam speakers who agitating 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:16.240 against whites and Jews. In ninety two, Professor Henry Louis 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:20.080 Gates Junior warrened, this is anti Semitism from the top down, 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.000 engineered and promoted by leaders who affect to be speaking 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:27.160 for larger resentments. And she goes into a fair amount 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.280 of detail of the history of it. And she's been 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:34.600 warning for years and years about the anti Israeli propaganda 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.120 propagated by a comprehensive program in the Center for Middle 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:43.320 Eastern Studies, and how the Center for Middle Eastern Studies 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.960 became the center for anti Jewish studies and anti Israeli studies. 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:53.200 And it's gone further and further down that road. Progressivism 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:57.920 is now anti Israel and anti jew And one of 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:03.080 the hottest, richest hotbeds of progressivism is Harvard University. Whether 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:08.159 that diseased institution can be cured or if it just 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.520 needs to be cut out, and you can say that 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:12.919 about the entire university system is not clear to me. 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.960 And I'm not trying to be exciting or hyperbolic. I mean, 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:19.000 it's diseased. Much more to come hope you can hang her. 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:25.199 Out Armstrong and Getty I had a breakthrough yesterday on 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.080 this song, I've been trying to play on the piano. 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:32.879 It was driving me crazy or I just couldn't figure 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:37.960 out how to make it work. Did you consider giving up? 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.000 Actually I did not. I was to the point of 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:43.879 like I was gonna, I was gonna talk to my 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:47.080 son's band teacher the next time I saw him and say, 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.560 why can't I figure this out? Like what am I 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:54.320 getting wrong about? You know where the eighth notes come 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:58.000 in versus the baseline or whatever? And anyway, smile clicked 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:02.560 in my head. And it's one of the things I 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.280 really like, a way about the way the human brain works, 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:08.800 you know, like when you don't understand something, and there's 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:14.160 all kinds of examples, math problems, or how to fix something. 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.400 I've had that happen before too, like where I got 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.960 to try to fix my son's dirt bike or something 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:20.359 like that, and I just can't and then all of 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:23.040 a sudden, like you work on it in the back 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:25.240 of your mind while you're asleep or whatever, and the 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:28.520 answer comes to you. I'm a big fan of stopping 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.000 thinking about it. Yeah, yeah, I do that a lot too. 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:35.960 It's funny how people just intuitively figured out figure out that. Okay, 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:38.320 I'm gonna not think about this, and then like this 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:41.560 afternoon at three o'clock, it's gonna pop into my head. Oh, 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:43.560 I know what I gotta do. I gotta take that 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:45.879 bolt off first to be able to get the tire 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.320 out of there. And it's just it's interesting the way 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:49.160 the human brain. 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:51.520 Works like that, which is yet another argument for A 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:54.840 getting enough sleep and b giving yourself time to daydream. 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:58.960 Don't be taking in input from your phone all day long, 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:01.240 all the time. That's not the way brains are supposed 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:01.560 to work. 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:04.200 Yeah. Something I could not figure out musically like was 0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:06.199 just impossible to me, then all of a sudden was 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:12.840 completely easy, impossible. Click. Yeah, it's wild. So we talked 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.160 about this yesterday. I don't want to redo the whole thing. 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:16.920 I think it was our four if you want to 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:21.000 find the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. I usually 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.320 think this stuff is crap. That's one of the reasons 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:28.320 I'm so fascinated by it. It's this renowned psychologist apparently 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:34.520 who has studied how many was It's a ton of 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:40.880 marriages that worked out or didn't work out, and then 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:44.080 trying to figure out, like, what are the main things 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:48.160 that cause marriages to fall apart, sort of the biggest 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:52.280 studies of failed marriages it's ever been done anyway, Again, 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:53.520 I don't want to do the whole thing, but the 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:57.280 number one thing that you can't overcome is contempt, which 0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:00.480 is something Joe has been saying for years, by the way, 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:03.159 but it is a kiss of death and in any relationship. 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:05.240 And you don't even need to make this a marriage. 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:07.800 It could be a work relationship, or you and your 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:09.720 siblings or whatever. I suppose. 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:15.680 Yeah, if you don't think they're worth your respect and effort, 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:17.199 then you're not going to solve it. 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:21.879 Ever, the reason it probably applies more to marriages and 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:25.119 all those other situations work relationships, siblings or whatever. You 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:26.879 probably just cut them off at the point you have 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:30.080 contempt for them or they have contempt for you. The 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:33.240 relationships just split. But obviously with a marriage that's a 0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:37.080 different thing. And they said they could, This particular person 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:40.520 said they can figure it out from your things you 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:46.199 do with your face, which I'd never heard this one before. 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:51.320 One sided mouth rays the subtle smirk of superiority is 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:53.960 the number one red flag for the divorce. According to 0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:57.000 this psychologist who had watched lots of videos. Do you 0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.240 think that's the thing you usually do if you have 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:03.440 contempt for some buddy, one side of your mouth goes up. 0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:08.600 I don't. I'm trying to do it. I don't. I 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:12.439 don't know. I will bow to the expertise of this person. 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:16.520 It's like gas. They have gas. Yeah, Michael, you do 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:19.160 it for me, Michael, raise one side of your mouth. There. 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:23.880 It's kind of this getting now that's more length. Wait 0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:30.040 what yeah? Not? I think you have gas? What an idiot? 0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:37.200 Think about? You're an idiot. I can't stand you. You're 0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:40.560 trying to come up with contempt. Yeah, got, it's beyond 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:43.840 the thing with contempt is and I've I'm trying to think, 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:46.879 who have I been contemptuous? Contemptuous of? You could probably 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:49.160 tell me you would know better than me. Maybe who 0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:51.200 do you think? You don't say their name on the air, 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:55.359 But Jeese Nick a time right there? Current. I was 0:21:55.400 --> 0:22:01.040 gonna go with the current coworker. Oh funny. But once 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:04.920 you're into contempt territory, there's like they have like there's 0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:07.679 practically no redeeming thing they can say or do. 0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:10.560 It's a one in fifty that they work their way 0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:16.520 back unless you realize I missed something completely about their character. 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:21.200 They're dead to you. Yeah, that's an interesting one. Four 0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:25.879 nasty little habits, criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling. Stonewalling are 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:29.639 the four horsemen of the apocalypse for dooming relationships. But 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:32.040 contempt is the truth is a death, that's the one 0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:34.200 that you couldn't come back from. And they're looking for 0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:38.520 the one sided mouth rays of contempt. They could predict 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:42.240 divorce with ninety four percent accuracy based on whether or 0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:46.000 not they observed contempt between either one of the people. 0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:51.639 If it's observable contempt, yeah, it's probably doomed. Yeah, we 0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:53.639 can't even hide it. The part that I wanted to 0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:56.240 bring up because we got so many texts about this, 0:22:56.880 --> 0:23:03.600 was them also mentioning that people tend to have the 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:07.640 same three arguments over and over again throughout their marriage. 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:12.080 You just don't realize it. And once you categorize those, 0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:15.040 like figure out what your three points of disagreement are, 0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:17.840 and then you always put that in there. It's just 0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:19.960 it's just easier to deal with. You just say, oh, 0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:22.240 this is argument number two, where we know we're in 0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:24.160 a stalemate on this one. We know how this one. 0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:28.000 Goes right right, And it's not about the color of 0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:31.040 pain to ord, you know, the lengthification or whatever. 0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:34.119 It's it's that same old right can you give me? 0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:35.800
