It's a really good one. 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.480 It's actually from a gym, so it's the heavy duty 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:12.240 commercial quality sure like you use at the gym. Who's 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:15.399 freaking really really good. But I bought it used. Would 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.080 you have a guess what I probably paid for? It 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:22.440 knew when it was new, used when I bought it 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:26.520 from Craigslist. Five hundred bucks. 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.039 I was going to go seven hundred You think it 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.880 was a gym quality, Yeah, more than that, because I 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.200 bought one much more recently than that. 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:37.360 Yeah, definitely. 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.800 I was just trying to think hundreds too low, like 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:40.919 twelve hundred bucks. 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:45.040 Yeah, might have been anyway, because I just moved it. 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.600 For see, I was living in that house, moved to 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:50.840 that house, moved to this house. This is the fourth 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.600 place I've had it in and I've I've used it. 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.440 I don't know what the total I've spent on moving it. 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:01.720 I was googling to see roughly what it costs. But 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:03.960 this is the fourth place I've moved it to, and 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.680 so because it weighs more than three hundred pounds, there's 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:10.320 a special price for that. So I paid a couple 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:14.960 of hundred bucks to have it moved. Again. The total 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:20.440 amount of time cumulative that I've spent on that elliptical 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:26.079 machine has got to be less than twenty minutes in 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.360 fifteen years. And fifteen years. 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.480 Wow, you can get like a high dollar hooker for 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:33.959 a lower hourly rate than that. 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.359 Well, I'm not worried about the price. I'm putting it 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:43.279 in the category of is this the stupidest craziest, least 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.480 sensical thing I've ever done in my life. And that's 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:47.640 a high bar, trust me. 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.680 They like, do you have a plan in life where 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:52.639 you're like, I'm gonna I'm gonna get on that thing 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.160 that's gonna be after work going home thirty minutes. 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.440 I guess, Okay, I guess I do. 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.920 It's hard to get a good quality gym level used 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.679 elliptical for less than fifteen hundred dollars, Okay, I just 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:09.160 essentially what I remember. 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:10.799 I might have spent a thousand dollars on it, but 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:14.080 I've spent another thousand dollars moving it four times at 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:22.240 least and again cumulative over fifteen years. Twenty minutes, and 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:25.040 I'm probably on the high end. Use it or sell it. 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:29.400 In a minute and a half per year, Yeah, I 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:30.400 mean use it or sell it. 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:34.359 You used it or sell it at what point? Now? Yeah, 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.440 it's not. It's sort of become like a I don't know, 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.000 almost like a joke. Now. 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.280 I was one of those sorry folks that fell victim 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:47.560 to the Peloton during COVID the Peloton bikes, and I 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.520 used that thing twice and then it turned into a 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.520 really nice clothing rack, and I was like, I gotta 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:53.400 get rid of this thing. 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:54.760 Right, Wow, that's funny. 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:56.840 I've used a peloton more than that at the gym, 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:04.839 but not for some time. The seat did not love 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.720 the seats, and I got a piece of gear. You 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.200 don't actually said yeah, where were we? 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.440 Oh yeah, give yourself two weeks. 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.200 And then get rid of the damn thing. Quit throwing 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.760 good money after bad. Although you say it's kind of 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:21.520 become almost a family, it's kind of be an heirloom 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.560 of futility a Charlie Brownish. 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.680 I keep thinking my kids might use it. Yes, Michael, No, 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.640 I say just dump it, just take it to the dump. No, no, no, 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.640 it's definitely too nice. I would I would give it 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.120 to a family or something before I take it to 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.599 the dump, because it's a great piece of equipment. It 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:37.400 really really is high quality, really good one. 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.919 Here's what you do. I got a brilliant idea. You 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.240 just you're in a store, you're walking down the street. 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:47.080 You come across a heavy set person and you say, hey, 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.920 I noticed you're pretty porky. 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.159 I have an elliptical for you. You probably have bad knees, 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:59.320 right carrying that luggage around. Huh, You don't want to 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.760 run or want That's what that's great about the elliptical. 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.080 I all you have to do is pick it up. 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:06.839 As I'll walk up to and say, you're probably what 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:11.000 thirty three thirty four thirty four? What bmi? Yeah, probably 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:15.240 thirty four bmi? Wow, not analyptical. Yeah, go up and 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:21.440 put a measuring tape around their waist. Jeez, oh my god. Yeah, 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.240 I'll tell you what there. 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:27.039 What's underrated by people who don't understand economies and markets 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.240 and that sort of thing is the concept of and 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:34.880 I don't know the technical term, but it's the infrastructure 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:40.440 to sell the ability to you know, obviously, take in 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:41.800 money and give out a product. 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:43.559 That's the obvious part. That's the easy part. 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.440 But to hold an inventory, to ship it, to deliver it, 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.880 to be a place where multiple buyers can come and 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.000 the price can be set by the free market, as 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:57.599 opposed to add, dude with an elliptical who wants to 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:58.320 get rid of it? 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.640 You are in such a weak Yeah. 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:04.680 So I will tell you Facebook marketplace and offer up 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.080 as where I've gotten rid of both of my pieces 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.680 of exercise equipment that were large, and you can select 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:12.039 by pickup only. 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:16.280 Oh okay, it's worked easily. So Joe and I both 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:20.560 had Nordic tracks twenty five years ago because we were 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.719 endorsing Nordic track Thank you Gladys. And it was the 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:27.040 nicest Nordic tracks they made, so they're kind of expensive, 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.640 and I use that one like I don't know, five minutes. Anyway, 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.240 when I went to move, I wasn't going to haul 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:33.960 that across the country. 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:35.800 And I. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:38.960 Think I put an ad in the paper for it, 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.240 that's how long it was ago, and nobody was interested. 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.560 And then I asked people around and nobody was interested. 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.080 And then I took it to the good Will and 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.360 they said look over there, and in the corner they 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.040 had like fifteen Norder tracks. Said we're not taking any 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.279 more tracks. And I tried. I drove around with that 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.080 thing in the back of my truck to different good 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:59.400 Wills and various those kinds of places, Salvation Army, and 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.760 nobody would take it. You literally couldn't give it away. 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:05.440 I finally, out of frustration after dark, drove behind the 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:06.920 good Will, pushed it out of the back of my 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.359 truck and drove off. Wow. 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:18.280 Oh, confess to felony littering exercise equipment just it's amazing 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.480 that they sell so much of it new. There are stores. 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.080 There's a store not far from here from the radio 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:23.960 station that sells that stuff new all the time. May 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:25.600 been in business for a long time, so they must 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.600 sell stuff. Man, buy that you host. 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.760 You two hundred dollars to get rid of it. That's 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:35.800 my prediction. Probably right, I'll keep it. I'll keep it 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:39.520 in this house. Maybe next move I'll finally decide. You know. 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:41.920 One of the problems this makes me feel better by myself, 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.600 so maybe I'm just kidding myself. One of the reasons 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:46.960 I don't use it as much is I live someplace 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.040 northern California where the climate is so good. I always 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.800 think I'd rather go outside and do it. So I like, 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.840 I walk a half hour forty five minutes almost every 0:07:54.840 --> 0:08:00.000 single night. But the weather's perfect, so I'm gonna go outside. 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.800 Yeah, I'm not going to Why you're not exercising on 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:05.360 that thing because the weather's so. 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:09.640 Nice, right, Well, I am getting exercise all yeah. Or 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.440 I ride my bike just sure ambling down the streets, 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.400 walking into the donut shop, walking back out of the 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:20.240 donut shop, looking for somebody heavy to give your elliptical 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.119 to one other thing on the move in my crap 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.280 was I have so many things that I've moved that 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.640 like it's a like a kind of a bookshelf where 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:31.320 it's a lamp or whatever. Like I would never buy it. 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:35.280 It's it's it's crappy, and I don't even need it, 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.640 but I move it. It's just it's weird. The inertia 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:41.760 of stuff. I kept thinking about that merry condo woman 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.600 and the the what did she call that whole thing 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:48.000 where you're supposed to hold up you hold up every 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:49.640 item and see if it makes your heart singing. If 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.160 it doesn't, you're supposed to throw it away, which makes 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.520 more sense than not. I got so many things. It's 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.640 just like I would never purchase this if somebody offered 0:08:57.640 --> 0:08:59.360 it to me in the street, I wouldn't say yes. 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:01.320 But I have it, and I move it from house 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:05.840 to house. What is that? It's weird. Yeah, the inertia 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:09.000 of stuff or things that belong I don't even know 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:09.400 what it is. 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:17.000 Depends on your personality type and how you grew up too, right, 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.280 the throwing something away that's perfectly good would not happen 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.000 in my house as a kid, all right, exactly I've 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:27.640 been familiar with spoiled, little rich kids who they would 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.480 waste crap or get rid of crap or whatever. I 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.400 mean anything to them. It's an odd It's like the 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:37.880 flip side of a good quality. Like you say, you're 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.240 not going to get rid of something that has value, 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.120 that's usable. You're gonna use it until it's crap and 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:45.160 then you'll replace it. 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:45.840 Man. 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.079 But yeah, I know. Hanson asked the question, is a dad, 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.560 how many boxes of kids artwork do I have? I 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.840 got several, not very big boxes, because you know, it 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:55.360 doesn't make a lot of space, but I got quite 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.360 a big kids art work through the years. I always 0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.280 think I'm gonna go through those one at a time someday, 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.079 and maybe I will or maybe I won't. What did 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.160 you do finally? You still have that? Or down to 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:09.559 one box per kid? Okay? And the flat plastic boxes 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:11.880 that are did you go through a painstakingly and pick 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.880 out your favorite stuff? Yeah? 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:20.880 We we curated it like a museum. Two Revolutionary War 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:22.640 soldier uniforms is plenty. 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.280 We don't need thirteen, and let's. 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.160 Get a couple of Civil War era and then you 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.000 know it's kind of curated. 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:33.840 It now every every Birthday card, Father's Day card that 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:35.440 I get in from my kids, I got all those 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.360 still in one spot. Those aren't going anywhere until I die. 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:42.440 No agreed, Ye are Strong? 0:10:49.240 --> 0:11:02.800 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.320 So a couple of completely non political stories that I 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:12.640 found very interesting, both about the human brain, love love, 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:16.280 I love love. When you feel love, how does your 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.480 brain light up? It was funny that I came across 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:21.920 this because just the other day I was chatting with 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:26.880 my daughter video chatting. I love her to my bones, 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:30.000 and she's a pretty girl. But of course my feeling 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:33.160 for her is completely different than that for my wife, 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:39.559 for instance, which is different for my feeling for my dog, 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.960 which is different from my feeling for music, which I love. 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.040 And I was contemplating this, and lo and behold, here 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.520 this comes out. Your researchers at a prominent university in 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:53.079 Finland set out to explore the neural basis of love, 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:57.720 and they came up with six different types romantic love, 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:03.000 parental love, love, love for friends, love for strangers whatever 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:06.400 that means, love for pets, and love for nature. 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:08.600 Have you ever read Love in the Time of Cholera 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.439 by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. That's I think I did. That's 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.520 the whole premise of the book, and it was written 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.760 very long time ago. But just he gets a crush 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:19.800 on this girl when he's in grade school and then 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.760 goes clear to their elderly. All the different stages of 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:29.040 the different ways he loved this person, and it's really interesting. Yeah, wow, yeah, 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:30.240 I read that years and years ago. 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:34.160 Anyway, Their findings, published in Cerebral Cortex, suggested while all 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.480 forms of love share a fair amount of overlap in 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.320 your neural pathways, there are distinct differences in how our 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.040 brains process these various types of affection, which is not 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:48.000 that you know, revelatory. It's not shocking or anything. But 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.040 as we understand the brain more and more and can 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.000 see it and measure what it's doing more and more, 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:54.439 I just I thought that was interesting. 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.160 Yeah, I would agree. And I had a conversation I 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.440 guess this would be well, it could be love and sex, 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:04.319 But conversation with my son yesterday. We're talking about somebody 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.560 and I said, I don't know, is that person you know, 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.440 sixteen or twenty three? I can't tell the difference. And 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.040 at this point in my life, and I said, oh, 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.680 but that's an I think that's an evolutionary thing. It's so, 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.120 you know, more, seventy year old guys aren't hitting on 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:21.120 twenty year old women. You can't tell a child from 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:22.840 a twenty five year old, So you just kind of 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:26.040 stay away from that whole area of age for the 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:30.040 most part, not entirely, you know, exceptions of billionaires and whatnot, 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.840 But I think for the most part, they're all children 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:36.120 to me. Now, even you know, people in the early twenties, 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.880 so who are arguably grown women, Yeah, who are grown up. 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:40.679 But I think it just keeps you away. I think 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:41.480 I don't know that. 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.440 Yeah, I've got a bit of a gripe with that, 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.280 but we don't really have time. You know what, instead 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:51.880 of rushing through the next neurological study, I came across 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:53.560 that I found really really interesting. 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:58.320 Maybe we'll do it next segment. Yeah. 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.959 Part of what you're talking about, I think is cultural 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.760 the way people dress and act and wear makeup and stuff, 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:06.240 which has. 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:06.800 Changed very much. 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:11.840 You just you would not see a middle schooler back 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:15.000 in the day dressed in a provocative way wearing makeup 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.439 has ever happened. 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:18.960 Or even a high school kid not that not you know, 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:20.600 not too many decades ago. 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:25.280 Yeah, And I would say, just from a strictly biological 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.760 point of view, I think a male would just look 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.920 at a female and say of reproductive age or not 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:34.880 of reproductive age on a purely cave men, I don't 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:36.600 suggest we run our society like that. 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.760 So you think it's cultural that keeps me away from 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.400 most men as they get older, away from that younger cent. 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.920 I don't know, it's complicated. I don't know. Striaking question, 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.760 I don't actually know the answer to that mentioned badminton 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.640 reminded me yesterday when I was out of gym class 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.400 was like this for you when you were in school, 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.320 or you Michael or U Katie. But back when I 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.080 was younger and in school gym class they were so 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:02.440 into like the rules of various games. We spend a 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:05.200 lot of shire, like learning to play volleyball and the 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.000 rules and stuff like that. I remember learning to play 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.400 badminton and the rules of badminton and just all these 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:13.800 different things. And my son pe this year at the 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:17.440 grade level he's in right now, it's all like they 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:19.600 go into the gym and work out, like you have 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:21.720 a gym membership and you learn how to do that, 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:24.800 or stretching or stuff like that. That seems like a 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:29.840 way better idea. A lifelong understanding of this is a 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:31.760 habit you should form. This is how you do it 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.120 and do it the rest of your life. Weightlifting and 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:35.560 stretching and stuff. As opposed to. 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:39.000 Learning the rules of badminton, oh I disagree completely. Learning 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.200 how to play games that will keep you fit for 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:41.920 a lifetime. 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:44.400 Is that what you've been doing. You've been playing badminton 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:46.520 your whole life to stay in shape. Played a lot. 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.320 He couldn't have picked up volleyball at some point quite easily. Yeah, 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:50.600 you hit the ball back and forth in that. If 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:52.280 it hits a ground, it's a point. Okay, here we go. 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.240 Am I allowed to catch it and throw it? 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:54.400 No? 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:57.960 Okay, I got it. I thought that's awesome that he's 0:15:58.000 --> 0:15:59.920 learned about you know, how many reps, how many sets? 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.480 You know, spreading out the different parts of your body. 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.480 That is kind of cold, way handier. Don't we have 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:06.840 time for both? Probably? 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:07.200 Or what? 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.240 Maybe? Why is it all arn nothing with you? 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.480 When I when I was in high school, weightlifting was 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:14.680 an elective, so that was like a special class you 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:16.640 could take. But it would have been way more beneficial 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:19.760 to just have that VPE right, Yeah. 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.000 Yeah, at the very least. Yeah, you pe three times 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:23.960 a week. You're getting into the gym three times a week. 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.160 Seems like a great idea for a teenager. Can I 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.760 wear earbuds so you're thing? You get you to be 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:32.560 able to listen to music? Well, yeah, what's your workout? 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:36.920 Always hated? You're probably classical music your type? Listening to 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:42.480 string quartets? Yes, o yoma, especially if it's leg day 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:43.440 as it's different stuff. 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.000 I can't work out without headphones. 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:49.600 At the gym. I got the listening to the news. 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.960 I can't because I'm constantly rewinding because I realized I 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:54.960 was focused on the number of reps or whatever, and 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.360 I just missed what Charlie Cook just said or whatever. 0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:59.440 Yeah, I got Jake Tapper on while I'm doing my 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:04.040 get my swool on. You know my used to smoke 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.560 in the van. She would sit in this van and 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:11.480 smoke while we ran there with him. Non sit in 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:11.880 his van. 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:18.440 Yeah, correct, run, I'll be burning darts in my van 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:19.080 if you need me. 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:21.080 Ten more years of this before I can retire. With 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:21.679 my picture. 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:26.480 I think he had turning lung darts Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:31.159 I think I word fast. Don't you think it's a 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.760 little odd? Absolutely, there's no doubt in my mind. 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:40.960 This is the Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.320 And Getty we're featuring our podcast one more Thing. Find 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:49.840 it wherever you find all your podcasts. This was so funny. 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.160 I've been wanting to bring this to the radio show, 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:54.560 but I just haven't gotten around to it. It's a 0:17:54.760 --> 0:18:00.320 story that is ostensibly about a judge in Beverly Hills 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:05.439 who got pissed off that they're not cooperating with the 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:09.119 state's laws for affordable housing. And the headline is in 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:13.520 Beverly Hills, no kitchen remodels or pool grottos, as judge 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:18.320 orders building moratorium over lack of affordable housing. Essentially, he 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:22.840 blocked the city from issuing any building permits for anything, 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:28.000 no matter how necessary or silly or mundane or whatever, 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:32.240 until they approved a sufficient blueprint for affordable housing. 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:34.680 So I got a nice piece of property, I got 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:37.480 a lot of money, but a judge's saying, you don't 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:42.960 need a grotto until we have more housed poor people rights. 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:48.360 Expand your garage, or remodel your kitchen or put. 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:52.200 In a pool or anything. Wow, that's what it's done. Yeah, 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:55.880 now that's freedom the property I own. Somehow me taking 0:18:56.040 --> 0:19:00.000 my money and getting a grotto next to my pool 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:04.800 has anything to do with poor people getting more housing. 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:07.960 That is really a weird world you live in. Well, 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:08.359 and it's. 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:11.280 Clearly an activist judge who's taking politics into his own 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:15.080 hands and trying to make a point. And it's it's 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:19.560 in terms of property rights. It's an absolute nightmare, absolute nightmare. 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:22.080 That's just a terrible way to look at the world though. 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:26.520 I mean, that's just you. If somebody I don't even 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:29.840 know gets a nicer stuff that makes me less happy, 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:32.920 that's just weird. I think it's just leverage. 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:36.879 It's purely leverage, and it's it's indefensible, I think. But 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:39.440 if I were going to defend it, I would hit 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:44.480 you with the rest of the story. Okay, can the 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:47.720 late Paul Harvey sue me for that or his or 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:53.080 his kin folk? That was parody anyway, So they quote 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:55.520 various people about how outrageous it is and the rest 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:59.040 of it. But then they get into that Beverly Hills 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:03.920 where entreprene and entertainers from Jeff Bezos to Leonardo DiCaprio 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:08.520 and Taylor swift own mansions, opulent hotels attract well heeled visitors, 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:11.240 and glamorous boutiques make rodeo dry blah. 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:13.919 Blah blah shopping blah blah blah, and. 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:17.760 So okay, great. We all know that, but I hadn't realized. 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:21.520 I'm only dimly aware of the fact that there's a 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:26.679 fifty year old state law that requires local governments to 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:30.480 plan for a growing population and allow people of all 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:35.000 incomes to live in every community. It's like an anti 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:43.520 Nimby law not in my backyard, passed in nineteen seventy ish, 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:47.320 seventy five ish to make sure that the growing population 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:51.560 would be a would be accommodated everywhere in California, and 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:54.119 like rich Enclaves couldn't keep people out. 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:56.840 Maybe you like that idea, maybe you don't. 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:03.040 But Beverly Hill's efforts to invade that are hilarious, hilarious, 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:03.680 And that's. 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:04.280 The part of the article. 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:06.240 I'm glad I read the whole thing, because you'd never 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:08.760 know it from the first you know, quite a few paragraphs. 0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:11.840 So in nineteen seventy the population in Beverly Hills was 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:16.240 thirty three thousand, four hundred thirty three thousand, four hundred. 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:19.920 Today it is thirty two thousand and four hundred, so 0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:22.840 it's declined by a thousand people. Over the same period, 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:27.280
