General keen there is always keen on winning 62 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: this thing. 63 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 3: Well, I hope that works to the report that was 64 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 3: in the Wall Street Journal about how we need to 65 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 3: go big and blast the hell out of our end 66 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 3: Jackie Heinrich goes on The Wall Street. 67 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 5: Journal reports the so called go big approach would reduce 68 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 5: the need for the US to use defensive munitions because 69 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 5: Iran would have less capability to attack, after critics warned 70 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 5: the US might need to worry about those stockpiles. 71 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was what Mike Leones told us earlier in 72 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 3: the week. How about we bomb them so much that 73 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 3: we're not in a defense position using our defensive tools. 74 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 3: We're using our offensive tools and they're having to defend us, 75 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 3: Which seems like a pretty good idea to me. But 76 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 3: I think what we're going to do is try to 77 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: choke them off. This is where the allies come in. 78 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 3: According to Jackie Heindrich. 79 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 5: US allies in the region are trying to stave off 80 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 5: the possibility of a second war front. After the Hohothi's 81 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 5: declared a naval blockade on the Red Sea, forty three 82 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 5: countries plus the EU huddled today in Riyad.

We have 101 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 7: all sorts of both military and economic ways to deal 102 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 7: with this type of situation. 103 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: Don't let me forget. There's another China angle I want 104 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: to talk about. They are absolutely on the march, but 105 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: don't China, I don't, sir so. 106 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 3: I think we've had Ken Pollack on the show before. 107 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 3: He's a Middle Eastern expert. He was in the CIA, 108 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 3: NSA all kinds of different stuff, and now he works 109 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 3: at think tanks, and he knows a lot about this 110 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 3: sort of stuff.

So the economic impact 184 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 1: of US attacks on Iran have increased, according reports in 185 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: the Washington Post, widespread shortages and blackouts after President Donald 186 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: moved to strike key infrastructure. For months, Iranians reported relatively 187 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 1: you economy altering disruptions in the face of US and 188 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: Israeli attacks, despite thousands of air strikes and the weeks 189 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: long naval blockade by US forces. But that has changed 190 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: over the past month as US attacks have triggered power outages, 191 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: water and fuel shortages, and trade slow downs. Without regular 192 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: water and electricity and intact delivery networks, factory and farm 193 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: output slackens. Goods are slower and more costly to ship, 194 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: industries dwindle mired in expensive uncertainty. Then you pile that 195 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: on top of the longtime Internet block by the regime 196 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: because they know most of their people hate them, and 197 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: it's caused a serious, serious economic disruption the rub as 198 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: we pointed out many times, though, is that that pain 199 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: is being realized on virtually only normal people, the citizens 200 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: of the country, and not the IERGC. 201 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 3: And as the podcaster guest Ken Pollack kept pointing out, 202 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 3: the current leadership of Iran does not give a crap 203 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 3: about the regular Iranian. 204 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,359 Speaker 1: Indeed, according to analysts, the added pressure is not translating 205 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: into diplomatic diplomatic progress yet, betting that they can withstand 206 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: economic pain for longer into a greater degree than the 207 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: US can. Iran's leaders are digging in as they continue 208 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: to warn against compromise. Iran's lead negotiator and parliamentary speaker 209 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: Mohammed Bagger Golligoff, and this is gollibuff, and this is 210 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: one of the allegedly more reasonable guys said, the equation 211 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: of this war is clear, either all or nothing. If 212 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: our security is not ensured, no infrastructure will be safe. 213 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: What do you think of this? 214 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 3: As listening to Brian kill me to Fox yesterday, he 215 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 3: is saying Trump's gotta stop listening to the head of 216 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 3: the parliament or the guy who they call president or 217 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 3: whatever and only talk to the IRGC. And if they're 218 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 3: not talking to you then fine, that means you're having 219 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 3: no conversations, but there's no point in talking. 220 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: To those other people. 221 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 4: They don't represent what's. 222 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 3: Going on here. 223 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's either what what they're doing. The approach is 224 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: either very bad or there's something very important we're not 225 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: hearing about. And it could be either one. But from 226 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: all appearances, it's getting played by the good cop bad 227 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: cop thing and meant badly. 228 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 4: I had none one of those run ds this week. 229 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 3: Where people think they're doing a kind thing by offering 230 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 3: me a social a senior citizen discount. 231 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 4: About that, I just I's just just a. 232 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 3: Practical tip to those of you out there who don't 233 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 3: know what seems obvious to me. 234 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: I lied about my age for I think the second 235 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: time in my life. Well no, no, in college. I 236 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: had a fake idea. It was like a black woman, 237 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,599 Speaker 1: but they didn't care. They didn't even look at them. 238 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: So one of the few times in my life I've 239 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: lied about my age on that very topic. You know what, 240 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: I can summarize the China thing very very quickly, then 241 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: we can move on to lighter fare. You remember how 242 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: China was getting super confrontational and like ramming Philippine boats 243 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: and building airfields and stuff like that. Well, they've gotten 244 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: much less confrontational right now, because I believe it was 245 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: getting too much attention. Their latest thing is they will 246 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: find any sand bar, any coral reef, anything that sticks 247 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: out of the ocean by one inch. They're now planting 248 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: a Chinese flag in it and dredging up all sorts 249 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: of sand from the seafloor and building it up and 250 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: saying this is Chinese territory, all over the South China 251 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: Sea and anywhere anywhere I was gonna say, reasonably near China, 252 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: even unreasonably near China, declaring that's Chinese territory. These are 253 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: our waters aggressively and nobody's talking about it. 254 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 4: I wouldn't worry about it. 255 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: Okay, never mind, China is as true. 256 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 4: Maybe I only represent me. Maybe other people don't feel 257 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 4: this way. 258 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 3: Keep your senior citizen discount to yourself unless I ask 259 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 3: for it. 260 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 4: All right, on that coming up. 261 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 8: A man in England recently said a Guinness World record 262 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 8: by eating fifteen fish sticks in one minute. The record 263 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 8: was for healthiest English meal. 264 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: Fifteen fish station. Emilio on the diet, I don't know 265 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: what it's a nod joke. 266 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 4: So, the big number one TV show in America is 267 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 4: the NFL. 268 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 3: We talk about that all the time, like every every 269 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 3: game is the number one show in America, like one 270 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 3: through sixteen every week. But Tony Romo, one of the 271 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 3: biggest announcers in all the event NFL, got pulled over 272 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 3: drinking the other day. And now he's on leave by CBS, 273 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 3: and so are they gonna fire him or are they 274 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 3: gonna a they gonna claim he went to rehab and 275 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 3: then put him back on. Hope you forgive him. I've 276 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 3: already forgiven him, so I'm fine. Uh He when he 277 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 3: signed his contract one hundred and eighty million dollars over 278 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 3: ten years, it was extraordinarily huge. But then Tom Brady 279 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 3: comes in and gets a contract for almost exactly double that, 280 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 3: so he makes thirty eight million dollars a year. 281 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: Woof. 282 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 3: So I don't know, they might feel like they're getting 283 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 3: a bargain with Tony Romo and want to keep him around. 284 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: He's pretty good. Yeah, I think he'll grazed the apology 285 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: tour thing and be back on the air. Yeah. I don't. 286 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 4: I don't need those. Uh. 287 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 3: So I have talked about this before, and I'm going 288 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 3: to talk about it again. And maybe I'm an outlier 289 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 3: on this, I don't know, but I don't want you 290 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 3: to say and would you like to senior citizen discount? 291 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 3: I don't want you to say that to me.

Yeah. 411 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 3: I assume if my if one of my kids plays 412 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 3: softball when he's twenty eight on a company team, I 413 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 3: won't be bothered if he strikes out, But. 414 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 4: When their kids is like ah. 415 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: Man, yeah, yeah, that was so long ago. Probably, But 416 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: so do We touched on this briefly the other day 417 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: piece in the journal. Singles are so burned out that 418 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: they're letting spreadsheets evaluate their dates forget intuition. Young adults 419 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: are rushing home to crunch the numbers before they decide 420 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: if the date actually went well. And this is absolutely 421 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: the wrong way to approach this. It is insane. 422 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 3: I can tell you from my brief experience, the online 423 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 3: dating world looks at this whole thing different than it 424 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 3: has ever been looked at before. And it's it's its 425 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 3: ill own new creation. It's it's almost impossible to explain. 426 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 3: It's different if you've not done it. It's different than 427 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 3: everything that has happened in human history. And I assume 428 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 3: that's the way. It's everybody's going to do it in 429 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 3: the future, and people who did it the old time 430 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 3: away will all be dead, so nobody will know there was. 431 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 4: Ever a different way. 432 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,479 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So they highlight Carolyn, who's smitten with a 433 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: man she met in the course of real life. After 434 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: a few dates, she debriefed her two best friends over lunch. 435 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: When she went to the bathroom, they got to work. 436 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: They plugged Carolyn's core values into an app one of 437 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: the friends built to assess compatibility. Then they entered everything 438 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: they knew about her date. The spreadsheet crunched the numbers, 439 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: The result a portrait of incompatibility, so her perspective shifted. 440 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: She saw him a few more times before breaking things off. 441 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: Now she uses the app to track all of her 442 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: dating data. 443 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 4: That's just a great idea. 444 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: Carolyn is among a cohort of spreadsheet singles or love hackers, 445 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: who believe data could hold a cure to their dating woes. 446 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 1: They say dating apps that spit out an unlimited menu 447 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: of potential partners make it too easy to miss obvious 448 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: red flags. Well, that's one of the problems with it. 449 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 1: You become a little more willing to make compromises on 450 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: things that you might not usually compromise on because you're 451 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: just so tired of searching, said one of her friends. 452 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: Converts say spreadsheets turn their desires into packaged data sets 453 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: that can analyze for patterns anything from I typically catch 454 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: feelings after the fourth date to my best dates tend 455 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: to work in engineering. Oh lord. 456 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 3: And then there's also the unnatural thing that affects those 457 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 3: decisions being made by the online dating world. You've got 458 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 3: like ten backup plans right there in front of you, 459 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 3: which never happened in the real world of dating. 460 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: Right, It's like you had ten job offs. Yeah, you 461 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: know that boss. The way he pronounces is ours annoys me. 462 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna never mind, I'm gonna look at 463 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: those other nine companies. 464 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 3: Well in one of the other companies look pretty good 465 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 3: when you're looking at it and you're thinking, wow, that's 466 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,479 Speaker 3: a pretty good up. So yeah, that's just that's just 467 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 3: a weird way to do things. But I think it's 468 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 3: the future problem or there's. 469 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: Some match making guru says she's seen daters overemphasize the data, 470 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: causing them to minimize or numb the feelings they get 471 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: in the presence of a potential partner. Rigidity can actually 472 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: be a shield against vulnerability, she observes quite aptly. I 473 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: think for Peyton Iight, a twenty seven year old brand 474 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: strategist in Austin, the rigidity shield is the whole point. 475 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 1: She thinks dating has to feel corporate to be effective. Quote. 476 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: Spontaneity and fun is cool, but if you don't align 477 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: with someone on basic core values, that relationship is inevitably 478 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: going to come to a halt, she said. 479 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 4: I think. 480 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: So she created a spreadsheet that lets her friends way 481 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: in via a friend's feedback tab. Oh good lord. 482 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 3: I think there's a name for the those people having 483 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 3: been out there in that world for a little while. 484 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 3: It's permanently single because they're just nobody ever quite matches 485 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 3: up to your very rigid system that you've come up with, 486 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 3: added to the abnormal thing where you've got a stable 487 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 3: of ten other options to go with. 488 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, they and they cite one couple that this worked 489 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: for and she credits her spreadsheet with finding her boyfriend. 490 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 3: And I felt the same way. By the way, it 491 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 3: wasn't wasn't just one sided. I felt the same way. 492 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 3: It's weird being on a date when you've got like six, eight, 493 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 3: ten other options also, So it's just I never ever 494 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 3: was on a date in my life where there were 495 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 3: like several other people that I could go out with the. 496 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: Next night, right right, Oh no, no, you know it 497 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: sounds like your dream come true. But the more I 498 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: think about it, the more awful it would be. You 499 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: would never It reminds me of what we've discussed, we 500 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: used to discuss years ago, and I still face sometimes 501 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 1: when I sit down thinking I should watch something, I 502 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: can't commit to anything because opportunity cost is I'm passing 503 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 1: on those other fourteen options that look pretty good. So 504 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: I'm just not confident enough that this option is worth 505 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: passing up those other fourteen. So I think I'll maybe I'll, 506 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, and I end up doing efing nothing. 507 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: I've tried not to do that. 508 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 4: I think it's exactly the same thing. 509 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, you mentioned that when you had a rare 510 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: day to yourself, You're like, I could do some music stuff, 511 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: I could do, some reading stuff, I could do some 512 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, 513 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: it's there anyway. The yin or the yang to the 514 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: yin is a pretty insting overly long, so we won't 515 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: get too much of it. Article though, about what sis 516 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: actually say about the reason some relationships flourish and others flop. 517 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: And it has nothing to do with data spreadsheets and 518 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: I do best with engineer, good lord. And it has 519 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: to do with attachment styles. Yeah, which was a hip 520 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: thing to discuss not long ago, And there's like an 521 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: add on to that in this article, but it rings 522 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: very true to me. 523 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 3: I actually buy into that whole attachment style stuff. I 524 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 3: think pretty danged interesting. 525 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, And there are like very close I'll give you 526 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: a couple examples. 527 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 3: If it's like everything, it's a range, it's a spectrum. Sure, 528 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 3: as opposed to any other. 529 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: Or Securely attached people generally trust others and feel comfortable 530 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: with both intimacy and independence. Those with anxious attachment style 531 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: often craved closeness but worry about rejection or abandonment. Avoidant 532 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: individuals tend to prize self alliance and keep an emotional distance, 533 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: even from those they love. 534 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 3: One of people which you know and you know't. Yeah, 535 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 3: getting in relationships with avoidant attachment people is is rough. 536 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, old stiff arm jack hmm. And people with a 537 00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: disorganized attachment style may swing between seeking connect and pushing 538 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: it away, reflecting conflicting expectations about whether relationships are a 539 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: source of danger or comfort. I really feel for people 540 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 1: like that because it probably comes from something I have. 541 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 3: Been told by therapists that if you get an avoidant 542 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 3: and an anxious together, that's when the sex is the craziest. 543 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:22,719 Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's an intriguing thought. Now I'm distracted. But 544 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: if you match, that can yield a fabulous relationship. And 545 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: your point about it being a spectrum, I think is 546 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 1: a really good one. Absolutely. But if you are somewhere 547 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: on the anxious attachment scale and you crave closeness but 548 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: worry about rejection and your partner is the same and 549 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: has any self awareness and awareness of you, they'll be like, Okay, 550 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: she needs reassurance. I'm happy to give that to her 551 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: because she's giving it to me because I kind of 552 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: need it too. 553 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 4: And it works. 554 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: So, yeah, you get an avoidant with an anxious and 555 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: that's going to be tempe if you can get them 556 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: out of bed. Well yeah, well that'll be timpestuous too. 557 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 3: I have found out because I didn't learn about this 558 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 3: stuff until a couple of years ago. So I was 559 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 3: looking back in relationships throughout my life, like way back 560 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 3: in my twenties and stuff like that. And I know, 561 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 3: for me, I think the couple of times I ran 562 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 3: into people more avoidant than me, and I'm incredibly avoidant. 563 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 3: If I run into somebody more avoidant than me, I 564 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 3: turned into an. 565 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:32,239 Speaker 9: Anxious really weird wow yeah yeah, yeah, well, and then 566 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 9: they get into that sort of tendency also affects even. 567 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: Like all your relationships with your friends, your your boss, 568 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: your pet, even your precious. Funny, that's funny. That is 569 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: so funny, because I am definitely I've got at least 570 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: a touch of the anxious attachment style, at least a 571 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: touch of it, which I don't want to get too personal, honestly, 572 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: but I will do it. Yeah, I happened, all right. 573 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: That a good point. I, as a husband work very 574 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: hard to make sure my wife knows she has loved 575 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: I think that's an important part of my job. What 576 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: was my point? Oh, blah blah blah. Oh speaking pets, though, Baxter, 577 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: my late dog, God rest his doggy soul. He had 578 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: the most poker faced dog expressions of any dog I've 579 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: ever met, and I claimed he had no puppy dog eyes. 580 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 3: Judy disagrees, that is, but that is really classic anxious 581 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 3: attachment sort of thing to say. 582 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: Though, Oh and I know it, I absolutely know it. 583 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: So like I'd do something, he'd be a good boy, 584 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: and I'd praise him and give him a truat or 585 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: give him a pet or whatever, and he'd look at 586 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: me like, yeah, okay, that's fine. I'd be like you, bess, 587 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: you don't love me, do you? 588 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 4: And you leave, thinking he'll never he's breaking up with me. 589 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: You just as soon live with the neighbors, wouldn't you, 590 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: you bustard, he's breaking up with me. I'll bet he's 591 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: gonna break up with me. Everything he knows he's breaking 592 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: up with you. That's right, right, Yeah, he's wagging his 593 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: tail kind of. 594 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 4: I think my cat's an avoid seems to. 595 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: Be all cats are avoiding you, idiot. Ah boy, that's 596 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: enough of that. Something else coming. 597 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 3: You either find that interesting or you're rolling your eyes 598 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,239 Speaker 3: so hard they're stuck in the back of your head 599 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 3: and you think it's all a bunch of crap because. 600 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 4: I could see I could see me that way, not 601 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 4: the pets. 602 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: We'll enjoy your cat. Then that was that was insensitive 603 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: of me. I'm sorry. I'm a combination of anxious and belligerent. 604 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 3: You know, I have been mocking the coverage of Anthony 605 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 3: Fauci's diaries and included his obsession using my. 606 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 4: Finger quotes with startom. 607 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 3: Great piece though from somebody who's known a lot of 608 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 3: those kind of scientists. That may have changed my attitude 609 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 3: on this, Okay, So stick around for that. It's good, 610 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 3: some good Anthony Fauci kicking coming up. 611 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: Armstrong, he yie. 612 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 8: Doctor Anthony Fauci testified yesterday before the Senate Homeland Security 613 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 8: Committee on the origins of the COVID nineteen pandemic. Please 614 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 8: don't be us, Please don't be us, said Taylor Farms, 615 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 8: speaking of Anthony Fauci. 616 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 3: So, his diaries come out last weekend, and I was 617 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 3: unhappy that so much of the media focused on his 618 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 3: comments about what celebrities meant or how he was on 619 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 3: the cover of People magazine and stuff like that, as 620 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 3: opposed to him lying about the origin of the most 621 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 3: deadly virus in a century. 622 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 4: But I thought this was really interesting. 623 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 3: Mark Halpern reprinted this in his newsletter today, signed a 624 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 3: registered Democrat, hanging on by a thread. I have been 625 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 3: lucky enough to meet and work with real heroes of 626 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 3: global public health. I've had many friends at CDC, but 627 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 3: in particular, I've had close contact with a good chunk 628 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 3: of the team that eradicated smallpox. I've worked on some 629 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 3: of their books, and I've read their notes in journals. 630 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 3: Here's what I learned from all of them. Public health 631 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 3: for those who are interested in credit. Public health is 632 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 3: for those who are uninterested in credit, because success happens 633 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 3: alone at night in a dimly lit room, when you 634 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 3: analyze the numbers and see that an illness is coming 635 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 3: under control. No one is there to pat you on 636 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 3: the back or celebrate you, and you don't need it 637 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 3: because saving lives is all that motivates you. In the 638 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 3: notes and journals I read from these people that were 639 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 3: incredibly successful in that you know world, none of them, 640 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 3: not one of them, had anything about who they met, 641 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 3: or what show they were on, or what article was 642 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 3: written about them. One of them served under four presidents. 643 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 3: The times you see heroes of public health come alive 644 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 3: is when they meet a fellow war from their time 645 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 3: in the field. All they talk about, even decades later, 646 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 3: is how close close they came to failing, or how 647 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,399 Speaker 3: relieved they were when the pandemic or epidemic they were 648 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 3: fighting turned around and people stopped getting sick and dying. 649 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 3: That's what motivates true heroes of public health. It doesn't 650 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,919 Speaker 3: mean that Fauci didn't do good work ever in public health, 651 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 3: but it might mean that an out of control ego 652 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 3: could have so widely, wildly interfered with a massive pandemic 653 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 3: that the suffering of the world was more intensified rather 654 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 3: than relieved by his actions. Again signed by a registered Democrat, 655 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 3: hanging on by a thread. 656 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: So they knew. 657 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 3: Famous people that worked well would have been famous if 658 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,800 Speaker 3: they wanted to be famous, worked in that world, And 659 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 3: they had journals and books that this person worked on, 660 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 3: And they didn't talk about all the presidents I met, 661 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 3: or celebrities or whatever. 662 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 4: That's not their jam. 663 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: It was interesting to me, and again I shared your 664 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 1: opinion that the he fell in love with fame stuff 665 00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: was a distraction. The metaphor I came up with. You know, 666 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: you're accused of treason and being rude to waitresses, and 667 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: then all the time is spent discussing, you know, how 668 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: rude is rude? I mean, they got his order wrong, 669 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, there's trees and over here they're covering 670 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 1: up the origins of the virus for the communist Chinese 671 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,279 Speaker 1: and his own I don't care if he's in love 672 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: with fame. But it is an interesting point because they say, uh, 673 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: I've heard actors say this. Musicians never read your own 674 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: press clippings. Don't read the reviews. If you take the 675 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: good ones seriously, you got to take the bad ones seriously. 676 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: So just don't. And if a guy becomes and he 677 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: was clearly like head over heels in love with the 678 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: idea of being famous, and big time journalists calling him, 679 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,720 Speaker 1: the president called him at home and he gushed about 680 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: it in his diary, you could see a guy getting 681 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 1: led way off track. 682 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,439 Speaker 3: Well, and if he spent thirty minutes thinking about that 683 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 3: in the midst of the pandemic, that was thirty minutes 684 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 3: he wasn't thinking about his main job. 685 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 4: Well. 686 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 1: And if feeding your ego becomes your even a co goal. 687 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: I was about to say your main goal. Obviously, then 688 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,240 Speaker 1: you're really off track. But even if it likes shares 689 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: space and among my goals today, or you know, getting 690 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 1: a little more famous and trying to figure out what 691 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: to do about schools, you are compromised, right. 692 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 3: And then you'd be kind of locked into the well. 693 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 3: I don't want Beyonce to not like me anymore if 694 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,240 Speaker 3: it turns out I say, I think this virus started 695 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 3: in a. 696 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,280 Speaker 1: Lab and we need to open the schools for instance. 697 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, he would wouldn't want to run against the celebrity 698 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 3: opinions Armstrong and Getty
