Yeah, it turns out the vast 177 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 3: majority of us urinate, So it's a kind of a universal. 178 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 3: That's that's the teacher in California who is urinating into 179 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 3: a coffee canister in the classroom. 180 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: It's still on leave. 181 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 3: I believe that is still being investigated. Yes, the investigation, 182 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 3: if I was in charge, would be got a video 183 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 3: of you peean a coffee canister. What the hell it'd 184 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 3: be the investigation Now he's on leave. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Anyway, 185 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 3: people are rallying to the case. He said, we have 186 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 3: the support of the people of New Hampshire. Their state 187 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 3: motto is live free or die. Well, in my case, 188 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 3: it's live free or pee before we go. Anyway, Good luck, sir. 189 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 3: I feel like I see fewer personalized plates now than 190 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 3: I used to. Did they get more expensive? Did people 191 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 3: decide that it's not a good look. I don't know. 192 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 2: I feel like I see fewer of them. All of 193 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 2: the above, maybe I don't know. 194 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 3: Tends to be not universal. I know many, many fine 195 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 3: people that I like a lot to have personalized plates. 196 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 3: But in general, I'd say personalized plates go with a 197 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 3: certain personality quirk that I do not enjoy. But not always, 198 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 3: definitely not always. Thinking of several people right now, my 199 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 3: favorite personalized plate of all time was my brother in 200 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 3: law John's. I believe Who's Who was a fellow uh 201 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 3: Lootie Tunes cartoon thinge and his license plate was are. 202 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 2: U n idgit I j D. 203 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 3: That was good anyway, Humans and Neanderthals got it on 204 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 3: more than scientists thought, according to a new study that 205 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 3: long ago. 206 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 2: You know, proto human update coming up. Stay with us. 207 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 2: That's not a surprise to me as. 208 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 3: A man with a substantial amount of Neanderthal DNA. We 209 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 3: don't look like Brad Pitt. But you know, take us 210 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 3: back to your cave and find out. Uh uh huh 211 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 3: do go Neanderthal You'll never go back it all. 212 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 2: That's pretty good. That's actually prettyad. Okay, we actually had 213 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 2: don't play. We actually have some news to get to 214 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 2: because things are constantly changing. 215 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 3: We are a country at war more on the way. 216 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 6: Iran is hoping that we cannot sustain this, which is 217 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 6: a really bad miscalculation for the IRGC in Iran. 218 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess we'll find out. Sirens blaring currently in 219 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 3: Israel as Iran is retaliating again with more waves of rockets, drones, 220 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 3: everything else, and it's all about We talked to Mike 221 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 3: Lions a little bit earlier about He says, we've got 222 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 3: the stockpile to continue this for a while. Does that 223 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 3: include Israel. Do we know we keep track to make 224 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 3: sure that they've got everything they need for their iron dome. Yeah, 225 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 3: we'll see arrows and Darcher's. As we've been discussing with 226 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 3: Mike Lyons, the number of missiles fired out of Iran 227 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 3: is fewer every day. We'll see if that continues to so. 228 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 3: The way the people of America have reacted to the 229 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 3: conflict with Iran politically speaking, is pretty interesting. Van Jones, 230 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 3: As I always say, a guy I disagree with about 231 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 3: many many things, some of them very very strongly. But 232 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 3: I think he's an honest guy. I think he's sincere. 233 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 3: He was talking about that very topic. We'll start with fifteen. 234 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 3: Go from there, Michael. 235 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 7: Bit by bit, post by post, nudge by nudge, people 236 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 7: are getting separated into different camps that are not ultimately 237 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 7: fighting for the good of the United States or the 238 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 7: West or their own countries, but are actually functioning at 239 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 7: a pawn layer, a pawn level, being moved by different algorithms, 240 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 7: by different information operations to cluster and be useful to 241 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 7: people who ultimately mean, you know, good, ultimately not benefiting 242 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 7: anybody in the United States. 243 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 2: Wow, love that premise. You got me, Van, Go on. 244 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 7: Why is it that you see young people in a 245 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 7: mayor who give a free pass to Iran, which is 246 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 7: butchering people, shooting down young protesters, won't give women their rights, 247 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 7: won't give gay people their rights, and yet are incredibly 248 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 7: critical of the United States itself, which at least doesn't 249 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 7: kill thousands of protesters and has rights for people. 250 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 3: Well, you hate to have to give a guy credit 251 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 3: for saying something that's obviously true, but a lot of 252 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 3: people on inside of politics don't say that, right. 253 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 2: But there are problems on the right as well. What 254 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 2: is going on? 255 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 7: Why are people who consider themselves to be American patriots 256 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 7: on the right suddenly willing to side with a country 257 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 7: that has been an enemy of the United States for 258 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 7: now generations? 259 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 2: What is happening here? 260 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 7: And what's the impact of having a country where different 261 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 7: factions inside the country are actually aligning themselves with enemies 262 00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 7: outside the country without seeming to really know they're doing that. 263 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 7: That's a gray war. That's how you know you're in 264 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 7: a gray war. 265 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 3: Well, at least for the people leading the crowd. As 266 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 3: Joe explained to us the other day, Tucker and Candas, 267 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 3: for instance, are making so much freaking money. It's insane. 268 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 3: They are ungodly wealthy out of doing this, So that's 269 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 3: their motivation. I don't know about all the people that 270 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 3: follow them. I think they could probably publish a simple, 271 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 3: like four sentence guide to how you grab an audience 272 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 3: like that, offer them secret knowledge that's being hidden from them, 273 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 3: Convince them that they're going up against the powerful and 274 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 3: the evil and they're on the right side of things, 275 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 3: blah blah blah, and slowly release you know. It's almost 276 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 3: like a murder mystery clues and breadcrumbs and the rest. 277 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 2: In the style of QAnon. For instance, We've. 278 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 3: Got a new theory on this based on some life 279 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 3: experience people going for these some of these like really 280 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 3: really crazy conspiracy theories. The more troubled your reality is 281 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 3: in your life, like your real circumstance, the more troubled 282 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 3: your circumstances is, the greater the conspiracy you need to 283 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 3: focus on to drown that out. Yeah, so if you 284 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 3: have kind of medium problems in your life, you can 285 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 3: kind of get into a medium conspiracy to drown that out. 286 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 3: But if you got really big problems going on, you 287 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 3: have to come up with a really big conspiracy to 288 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 3: Oh I don't have to worry about all of these 289 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 3: situations around me that are really a problem, because look 290 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 3: how bad this is. 291 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 2: I got to focus on this. Yes, right, I think 292 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 2: that's it. Well, I've got a great little feature ut 293 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 2: on how Marxists operate. I don't think we really. 294 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 3: Have the time, but it it's kind of watching them 295 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 3: form the why we are queers for Palestine and against 296 00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 3: the war in Iran as Americans, it doesn't make any sense. 297 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 3: They're well aware of how nutty that is. So they've 298 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 3: got to continually brainwash and browbeat people that do not 299 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 3: asking that question. 300 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 2: If you even asked that. 301 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 3: Question, you're a counter revolutionary and you're with the capitalists. 302 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 3: We had a lot more on the way of different stripes, 303 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 3: So I hope you can stick around. If you miss 304 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 3: a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. 305 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty. 306 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: After months of denials, Congressman Tony Gonzalez finally acknowledged having 307 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: an affair with Regina santos Ovulis, a staff member who 308 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: took her own life last September. For Gonzalez, you know, politically, 309 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 1: that's a death penalty. House speaker Mike Johnson reached out 310 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: to Gonzalez Thursday. 311 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 2: We first tend to drop rivalries for re election. 312 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: Now Gonzalez has done just that, adding that he does 313 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: plan to serve out the rest of his current term. 314 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 3: Politically, that's the death penalty used to be. Definitely not 315 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 3: anymore getting caught having an affair, isn't that? I mean 316 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 3: that used to be absolutely you're done. Okay, you cannot 317 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 3: run for whatever office, clearly not anymore for all kinds 318 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 3: of different reasons, and maybe for good reason. 319 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 2: I don't know. But what if your girlfriend sets herself 320 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 2: on fire. 321 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 3: That's a different thing. So let's hear a little more 322 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 3: on that. Yeah, she did kill herself, which adds another layer, 323 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 3: obviously to the affair. 324 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 6: Was there a relationship with this young lady who was 325 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 6: working in your office? 326 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 2: You know, very very direct, PAGs. 327 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 5: I made a mistake and I had a lapse in judgment, 328 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 5: and there was a lack of faith, and I take 329 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:38,479 Speaker 5: full responsibility for those actions. Since then, I've reconciled with 330 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 5: my wife, Angel, I've asked God to forgive me, which 331 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 5: he has, and my faith is as strong as ever. 332 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 5: When you make mistakes like this, you know, it's never easy. 333 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 5: It humbles you but it's important to kind of work 334 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 5: through it all. 335 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad he and his wife could get past it. 336 00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 3: That's fantastic. I guess you guess what. I don't know 337 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 3: what's going on in their relationship. Maybe you just better 338 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 3: off without him? True, well, true, of course we don't 339 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 3: know what's going on. But for some people that's a 340 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 3: one deal breaker.

I'd like 400 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 3: to at some point most of the history of human 401 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 3: beings is just beyond any thing you can imagine in 402 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 3: terms of what to take. 403 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 404 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I came across this great, great piece, the Slavery 405 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 3: lesson You're never going to learn in school. It was 406 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 3: about the Islamic slave trade, slave trade, and how they 407 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 3: exploited Africa for other Islamic people and traded slaves for 408 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 3: hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years. Slavery was ubiquitous 409 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 3: in the ancient world. It was everywhere until the Enlightenment, 410 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 3: when the Brits in the US in particular said, and well, 411 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 3: don't get me started. They said, you know what, we 412 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 3: actually believe all men are created equal. But these dark 413 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 3: skinned men were keeping them as slaves. This can't last. 414 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 3: This is hipocrisy, said George Washington, said Thomas Jefferson. They 415 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 3: just had a hell of a hard time unwinding it, 416 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 3: perhaps to their discredit. But anyway, that's enough of that. 417 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 3: I had something kind of amusing I wanted to do, 418 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 3: and I've lost it. So I was going to ask you, 419 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 3: and I know, we risk being the darkest radio show 420 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 3: in America all the time. Do we have that liner, 421 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 3: I mean, because it fits in pretty pretty well with 422 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 3: our vibe oftentimes, especially on a Friday. 423 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 2: But Armstrong and Getty, Oh here he comes again. The 424 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 2: most depressing radio show ever. 425 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 3: I came across a stat just the other day, and 426 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 3: maybe that's what you're going to talk about, is the uh, 427 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 3: the leading There are more people dying from assisted suicide 428 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 3: in a certain age group in Canada than are dying 429 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 3: from diseases or whatever.

I mean, because why wouldn't you do it before? 435 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 3: Because you're you don't want to have to pay the 436 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 3: ticket from great Beyond I mean, well, or you don't 437 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 3: want to put a gun in your mouth or the 438 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 3: other methods they're uncertain. They can leave you in horrifying 439 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 3: pain or crippled or whatever. You know your family's coming, 440 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 3: so you just think it was You just think it's 441 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 3: the ease and comfort of doing it. So there's lots 442 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 3: of people that want to do that. 443 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 2: So that's only the beginning. 444 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 3: Oh, that is just the peeking through the cracked open door. 445 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 2: The the rest of it is people who feel financial 446 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 2: pressure to off themselves. 447 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 3: There are hospitals, insurance companies, greedy relatives, activists just like 448 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 3: pushing people to off themselves. They originally had a ten 449 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 3: day waiting period you had to be sure, and ten 450 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 3: days later say I'm still sure. Now people are getting 451 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 3: same day service. Well that's efficient. You got to get 452 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 3: You got to tip your hat to their efficiency. Yeah, 453 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 3: the Canucks, you're right, we're just see if you want. 454 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 3: We're just tickling the moose antlers of this whole topic. 455 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 3: So I, even myself, I got to think that, you know, 456 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 3: I'm at the end of my life, which we're all's 457 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 3: gonna happen, all of us. All right, I'm at the 458 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 3: end of my life and I'm costing many, many thousands 459 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 3: of dollars a day. Even if no family member brought 460 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 3: it up to me, I think my conscience would feel 461 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 3: the pressure of what difference does it make if it's 462 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 3: now our next Wednesday and that could save forty fous 463 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 3: dollars right right, that's a pretty good, solid, clear case. 464 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 3: The problem is it leeches out and spreads and you 465 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 3: get more and more marginal cases. And the progressive activists 466 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 3: who got this past to believe so strongly that people 467 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 3: should be allowed to live, to end their own lives 468 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 3: if they want to, and it's a reasonably compelling argument, 469 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 3: but it reminds me of socialism. Well right, it reminds 470 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 3: me of socialism. Look, everybody will work hard, contribute the 471 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 3: best they can. Then we'll divide up the money and 472 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 3: everybody will share in a way that is equal, and 473 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 3: people who need a little more get a little more, 474 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 3: and will all cooperate. Yeah, not for an effing minute 475 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 3: is that going to work. It's one of those ideas 476 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 3: that sounds good on the surface. Let's see, I didn't. 477 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 3: I really was just kidding about bringing this up. 478 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 2: But oh, that's fascinating topic. It really is. 479 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 3: We're having this experiment and you know right there in 480 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 3: America's hat, well, the Netherlands is doing it too. It 481 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 3: had ninety about ten thousand euthanasia euthanasia deaths in. 482 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty four. 483 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 3: That's not easy to say in twenty twenty four, and 484 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 3: over one hundred thousand since assisted suicide was legalized in 485 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 3: twenty oh two. Canada's gone from seventy six thousand medically 486 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 3: assisted deaths in twenty twenty four to ninety three thousand 487 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 3: and twenty twenty five, and probably one hundred and ten 488 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 3: thousand by the end of twenty twenty six. But at 489 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 3: the same time, in a lot of circumstances, the idea 490 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 3: that I'm not allowed to do that. 491 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 2: Is not I know, I know. 492 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 3: So you're gonna give me all these drugs at the 493 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 3: cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars for the next 494 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 3: week as I lay here in misery to try to 495 00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 3: keep me alive for another day, why one of those 496 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 3: drugs you could give me might be how much cheaper 497 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 3: would end it? And everybody's happier, including me, And that's 498 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 3: against the law, right It's hard to make sense of that, 499 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 3: I know, I know it is. Boy, you make death 500 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 3: too easy and attractive and money saving and the rest 501 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 3: of it, And I don't know. 502 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 2: I just think it leads you to a bad place, 503 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:25,479 Speaker 2: is there. 504 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 3: The other hand, I would like to not have the 505 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 3: even in my own mind, pressure on me in the 506 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 3: end days of you know, because if it's illegal, it's 507 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 3: off the table. 508 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 2: I don't have to worry about this. 509 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 3: If it's legal, then I got to be thinking every 510 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 3: single day what am I doing to my kids?

This is the ultimate paradox. 513 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 3: I think, unless you just have a religion based you know, 514 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 3: kind of I don't want to is a pejorative term here, 515 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 3: a maximum maximalist position that we need to protect life, 516 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 3: period because that's what we're commanded to do. 517 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 2: Well. 518 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 3: I completely see your point, and it's it's difficult to 519 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 3: form an argument against it. I'm a libertarian. I believe 520 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 3: people can live their lives in whatever way they want. 521 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 3: And I have actually told Judy that if I'm in 522 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 3: a situation, god forbid, the worst sort of situation, I 523 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 3: consider it my right to make that decision. 524 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 2: You want her to smother you with a pillow? 525 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 3: Yes, I'm not sure she has the arm strength, although 526 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 3: she's working out a lot and it's doing great. 527 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 2: Is that why she's working out? It's entirely possible. 528 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, oh what are you doing at the gym? 529 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 3: You got to come up with the arm strength. This 530 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,239 Speaker 3: is smothered Joe. If I need to, they call it 531 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 3: pillow push ups. 532 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, you just learned to press down really hard. I've 533 00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 2: got a really long time. You're taking this way too. 534 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 2: You started it. 535 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 3: Oh, but you got dementia, patience, you got people with 536 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 3: mental illness problems. You got people with like temporary mental 537 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 3: illness problems. They're grief stricken. Just my current plan is 538 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 3: to take it to the absolute end, no matter what. 539 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 3: Easier easy to say sitting here in a comfortable radio 540 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 3: studio with no pain, but that's my current plan, is 541 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 3: to just completely natural take it to the end as 542 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 3: much as possible. 543 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I like it. Michael. If you happen 544 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 2: to come visit me and you see a pillow laying there, 545 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 2: my plan is an extra pillow. It looks pretty air tight. 546 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 2: I don't know. Just studies the news we need to 547 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 2: get to. Then we're out of time. 548 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 3: I like the fact that my life plan includes Michaelangelo 549 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 3: in the hospital room with me. In my end days, 550 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 3: I'm gonna produce you being. 551 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 2: Dead, you a whole playing sound effects for me, producer 552 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 2: to the end. That's right. 553 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 3: Humans and Neanderthals cozied up from time to time whenever 554 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 3: they are in the same area. We know that, right, right, 555 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 3: I have for very long right right, Yeah, I just 556 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 3: as a guy with a lot of Neanderthal DNA. I've 557 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 3: been very into this. I've been working this beat. Who 558 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 3: initiated the cross species lovin? Fascinating And we'll have that 559 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 3: information for you. Nah who swiped right? The Neanderthals are 560 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 3: the uh huh. Once you've had Neanderthal you're never gonna 561 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 3: go back at all. 562 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 2: Interesting. 563 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 3: Okay, we'll finish strong next time. Donald Trump is hosting 564 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 3: a college sports round table at the White House today 565 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 3: with a bunch of thinkers and movers and shakers in 566 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 3: ord of college spot to try to take a look 567 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 3: at some different things that might need to be done. 568 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 3: How in the world do you have the bandwidth as 569 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 3: a present in the United States to deal with all 570 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 3: the things come and fire? The DHS secretary run a 571 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 3: war which would be constant. I would think twenty four 572 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 3: hours a day, and then you know, do this. 573 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 2: Sort of thing. 574 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 3: He really is an extraordinary human in many many ways. Yeah, 575 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 3: so humans and Neanderthals got together from time to time 576 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 3: when they were in the same area, reproducing, etc. I 577 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 3: am especially interested in this because when I did twenty 578 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 3: three and me I found out at the time, I 579 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 3: was in the ninety ninth percentile of amount of Neanderthal DNA. 580 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 3: Now whatn't up until just a few years ago. There 581 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 3: it was a big open question of whether or not 582 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 3: Homo sapiens and neanderthals ever bred or could ride. Right now, 583 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 3: it's utterly decided, and how exactly this happened, though, remains 584 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 3: a huge question. But the one thing they know is 585 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 3: the pairings were much more often female Homo sapiens with 586 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 3: male Neanderthals. 587 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 2: That's not surprised, I don't think, is it. Yeah? 588 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 3: I mean because you know, the the uh, the Homo 589 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 3: sapien females would say, man, he's got kind of a 590 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 3: big head and a broad nose. He's kind of hairy, 591 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 3: but strong as a bull, and like super intelligent too, 592 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 3: which scientists now believe Neanderthals were at least as intelligent 593 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 3: as Homo sapiens and maybe more. Whereas the Anderthal gals 594 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 3: look at the skinny, little brad pitt looking Homo sapiens 595 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 3: think please, is that a boy or a girl? 596 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 2: No way, I'm. 597 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 3: Staying home, and I'm promise I'm not just trying to 598 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 3: turn this conversation dark again. 599 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 2: But I think it's all about Michael. He's about two, 600 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 2: isn't he? 601 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, what percentage of matings were the least bit consensual? 602 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 2: You know, it's an excellent point. Virtually. 603 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 3: The next sentence in this article is did human women 604 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 3: venture into Neanderthal populations where Neanderthal males drawn to human 605 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 3: compound or enclaves? Were these interactions peaceful, confusing, secretive, violent, consensual? 606 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 9: Was it rape? We don't know and we'll never know. Hey, kids, 607 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 9: it's that time again with Armstrong and Getty. 608 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 2: As the resident Neanderthal. 609 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 3: I find any violence against women absolutely abhorrent, especially sexual violence. 610 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 3: So I'm guessing no, the babes just saw us and thought. 611 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 2: Give me some of that. Here's your host for final thoughts, 612 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 2: Joe Getty. 613 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,439 Speaker 3: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew. 614 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 3: Wrap things up for the day.
