Speaker 1: Thanksgiving leftovers. It's one more thing, I'm strong andy, one
Speaker 1: more thing and perhaps our laziest one more thing, And
Speaker 1: that's saying something. I'm just gonna go through a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of screen captures on my phone of stuff, just
Speaker 1: like random stuff that I found interesting enough to screen
Speaker 1: capture but haven't gotten to over the last week and
Speaker 1: a half or so.
Speaker 2: This is Pope Parrie. This is the fruits of your labors.
Speaker 3: This is showing that you didn't even take a break
Speaker 3: while we were on break.
Speaker 1: This is the spice of life. That is variety, anti lazy.
Speaker 1: So I had tweeted out that I was unhappy with
Speaker 1: the fortune I got at Panda Express, and just for
Speaker 1: years and now, fortunes have not been fortunes. You know,
Speaker 1: fortune should be you're going to meet a man with
Speaker 1: black hair who will be the love of your life.
Speaker 1: You know something that's going to come true. The one
Speaker 1: that I got at pend Express was express yourself through
Speaker 1: art and music. It's just like a declaration to start
Speaker 1: ballet or something.
Speaker 2: It's advice. It's an advice cookie.
Speaker 1: From Panda Express too so but so somebody responded to
Speaker 1: that with they're never our fortunes anymore. My older son
Speaker 1: got one at Panda Express that said keep your expectations reasonable,
Speaker 1: which he described as the most Charlie Brown of all
Speaker 1: fortune cookie messages. Keep your expectations reasonable? What kind of
Speaker 1: who wants to eat and be told that? I find
Speaker 1: that hilarious.
Speaker 2: Advice Cookies, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot for that. Pend Express. You told me
Speaker 1: it's not Uh. I always thought it was kind of
Speaker 1: like low rent, but you're telling me it's not. It's considered.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's yeah, it's decent. Yeah, I enjoy it. I
Speaker 2: like our worst choice. I won't pay their advice cookies
Speaker 2: really out to say cut down your sodium intake. Yes,
Speaker 2: that would be a good one.
Speaker 3: Umm.
Speaker 1: A South Korean man avoided the draft. They still have
Speaker 1: the draft in South Korea avoided the draft by binge eating.
Speaker 1: He ate so much when he realized he was about
Speaker 1: to be drafted, he gained enough weight that he was
Speaker 1: too fat to get drafted. That's a South.
Speaker 2: Korea doesn't let super fat people in their military. We do,
Speaker 2: don't we, or at least pretty fat.
Speaker 1: Another military thing, this one serious. So there was an
Speaker 1: article in the Washington Post about our f thirty five,
Speaker 1: which is uh, thirty five one of our f's, one
Speaker 1: of our super fancy airplanes, and on how it's not reliable.
Speaker 1: It's got all kinds of problems with where the guns
Speaker 1: are installed, that doesn't work right, and a repair times,
Speaker 1: and it's not CyberSecure and it's easy to hack into.
Speaker 1: And Elon Musk the rocket genius, replied to that that
Speaker 1: you know, because he's doing the whole doge thing and
Speaker 1: really looking at the Pentagon, and he said this was
Speaker 1: an expensive waste of money and time, complex, jack of
Speaker 1: all trades, master of none. Success was never in the
Speaker 1: set of possible outcomes. We need to do better. Plus
Speaker 1: we should not have manned fighter jets. And the reason
Speaker 1: I thought that was interesting is Elon now kind of
Speaker 1: in a position where as the rocket scientist looking at
Speaker 1: things from the tech perspective, might have some pretty big
Speaker 1: influence on this stuff.
Speaker 2: I would love to see more out of the box
Speaker 2: thinking that direction. Certainly I would too.
Speaker 1: Ukrainian confidence in Zelensky at an all time low. He
Speaker 1: is down to sixty percent approval in Ukraine. To get
Speaker 1: to it.
Speaker 2: On the radio show today, he's making unmistakable noises about, hey,
Speaker 2: if we have to give up some territory. Let's just
Speaker 2: sit down, let's negotiate an end to this.
Speaker 1: You talked about this. I was going to get into it. Warnful,
Speaker 1: maybe I will on the radio show about and yet
Speaker 1: another study that DEI programs actually escalate hostility and racial
Speaker 1: tensions in the workplace. I've got all sorts of stuff
Speaker 1: on that. Yeah, it's absolutely amazing and not surprising at all.
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, especially given the fact that the programs
Speaker 2: don't actually aimed to accomplish what they're claiming to accomplish.
Speaker 2: It's all a charade. It's a head fake, it's a ruse.
Speaker 1: Came across this. I think we've become too woke and
Speaker 1: gone too far with a whole bunch of stuff. But
Speaker 1: we needed some of this. As recently as nineteen sixty seven,
Speaker 1: I saw this picture. This is from the Boston Marathon,
Speaker 1: because they had the Boston Marathon the other day. Race
Speaker 1: organizers attempt to stop Catherine Switzer from competing in the
Speaker 1: Boston Marathon as she became the first woman to finish
Speaker 1: the race. They allowed women in, and you had protesters
Speaker 1: at the race. These were other runners, guys in their
Speaker 1: bibs with the number on them, trying to tackle this
Speaker 1: woman to stop a woman from running in a marathon
Speaker 1: that was in nineteen sixty seven.
Speaker 2: Well, on the other hand, all that bouncing up and
Speaker 2: down his bed for their breasts, Jack, it's it's for
Speaker 2: their own good. We're keeping the little ladies at home.
Speaker 2: It's true.
Speaker 1: How crazy is that? In my lifetime, men, I thought
Speaker 1: women shouldn't be allowed to run a race?
Speaker 2: Right, Well, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Um.
Speaker 2: You remember the ad slogan You've come a long way baby.
Speaker 2: Of course, that was to sell women on the idea
Speaker 2: of you can smoke too and give yourself dread diseases
Speaker 2: and die prematurely graduate slogan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I had all my information on the whole
Speaker 1: banana art thing, but we did cover that on the
Speaker 1: radio show. It was the six point two million dollar
Speaker 1: banana duct taped to the wall was which sold by
Speaker 1: a fruit vendor outside for like eighty five cents, and
Speaker 1: he somehow feels like he got ripped off, and and
Speaker 1: and this tech billionaire who bought then took the banana
Speaker 1: down from the wall and ate it so good.
Speaker 2: Plight So well, I can't decide if this is AI
Speaker 2: or legitimate. But there's a statue of Barack and Michelle Obama.
Speaker 2: I think it's in Chicago and somebody stuck the banana
Speaker 2: to the front of Michelle unfortunate reference to both that
Speaker 2: hot art story and a right wing conspiracy that I
Speaker 2: will not dignify.
Speaker 1: I was a description that's pretty funny. I love that
Speaker 1: so much. I don't know why that is pretty funny.
Speaker 2: But again, I don't know if somebody actually did it,
Speaker 2: or it's just like somebody created the AI image.
Speaker 1: Oh, I took it. She's Scott no Wang No, Michelle
Speaker 1: Obama's not.
Speaker 2: Move on, move on, move on, move on.
Speaker 1: I took a picture at the grocery store in Salina, Kansas,
Speaker 1: where I was for Thanksgiving, because they I was in
Speaker 1: the over by the produce and stuff and had fresh sushi,
Speaker 1: and I took a picture of it, thinking how fresh
Speaker 1: could this sushi be? We're seventeen hundred miles from the
Speaker 1: notion either direction. Yes, I just wonder about that. Where
Speaker 1: did that come from? How did it get here? What
Speaker 1: does it taste like? I wondered all those things. Pictures
Speaker 1: of my brother at Disney World, oh Ian Bremmer with
Speaker 1: the shortest quote that he's ever had in mainstream media,
Speaker 1: and it related to the uh Kamala Harris thirty second
Speaker 1: video that the Democratic Party put out we played on
Speaker 1: the air where she makes no sense and sounds drunk,
Speaker 1: And this was from uh NBC. Ian Bremmer, a political
Speaker 1: scientist and the president of the Geopolitical Risk Advocacy from
Speaker 1: Eurasia Group, simply wrote in response to the Democrats twenty eight.
Speaker 2: I thought it was going to be wow or bad
Speaker 2: um um?
Speaker 3: Yeah, she looked and sounded hammered in that video. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because face she looked so rough.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now, I heard a discussion about this yesterday, and this
Speaker 1: is what I've been saying. I would think if she
Speaker 1: was a drinker, it would have leaked out some unnamed
Speaker 1: source would have said, oh, yes, she's got a drink
Speaker 1: in her hand at it ten in the morning. And
Speaker 1: nobody has done that.
Speaker 2: I disagree. I've heard it a bunch of times. That's
Speaker 2: why I brought it up. No, it's not like your
Speaker 2: big publication.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not in the New York Times of the watch
Speaker 1: Rington Post or anything like that. Don't you think somebody
Speaker 1: would a knee captor by now, especially after she lost,
Speaker 1: wouldn't somebody of a kneecaptor in like mainstream media over drinking.
Speaker 2: If that were true, I think if she attempts to
Speaker 2: stage a comeback, you might see that. Although again she's
Speaker 2: a half wit, she's a dope, she's talentless. That's enough.
Speaker 2: Whether she's a drinker or not. We don't even need
Speaker 2: to go there.
Speaker 1: I did screen capture this picture from Thanksgiving at mar
Speaker 1: A Lago that included you got Trump in the foreground.
Speaker 1: Then there's Elon Musk talking to Sylvester Salon, and I
Speaker 1: just thought, I don't know what that is, but that's
Speaker 1: that's some sort of together at last. Yeah, there's the
Speaker 1: fruit vendor, an old guy very angry about selling the
Speaker 1: banana that ended up being a six point two million
Speaker 1: dollar piece of art, and the media was trying to
Speaker 1: pretend that that was somehow sort of inequity. Something right
Speaker 1: wrong happened there. I'm not exactly sure how that works.
Speaker 2: It's still kind of see the effort, but it's idiotic. Yeah, Katie, all.
Speaker 1: Right, to go back to this Stallone thing?
Speaker 3: Is he?
Speaker 1: Are he and Trump close?
Speaker 3: I'm not.
Speaker 1: I wasn't aware of that.
Speaker 3: He was interviewed on Hannity last night too, so he's
Speaker 3: like kind of popping up on all the.
Speaker 1: He's not your usual run of the mill cele conservative
Speaker 1: that you know about. Do you know Joe was Syvester
Speaker 1: Saloon but a closeted conservative.
Speaker 2: All these years? Oh? Yeah to some extent? Yeah, Ok.
Speaker 2: And he's just a beloved figure I think, kind of
Speaker 2: a manly, traditional American guy, which just fits with a
Speaker 2: whole vibe.
Speaker 1: Costco is going to stop selling books in most US
Speaker 1: stores they sell books. Oh you didn't know that he had.
Speaker 1: They got a big, big, big, giant table full of books,
Speaker 1: and the prices are usually really low for hard popular,
Speaker 1: hardcover books. But because people don't buy them and you
Speaker 1: didn't even know they were there, and they're so heavy
Speaker 1: to move around and take up so much space, they
Speaker 1: just aren't going to sell them anymore. So some people
Speaker 1: are seeing that as another blow to the whole reading industry.
Speaker 2: Are they still going to sell sweats Uncle Jack?
Speaker 1: Lots and lots of suff Yes. Bill Clinton reveals he
Speaker 1: couldn't sleep for two years and was prone to outburst
Speaker 1: of rage after Hillary lost to Trump. In his new memoir,
Speaker 1: he says.
Speaker 2: What these people are nuts?
Speaker 1: He says, I apologize to all who endured my outburst
Speaker 1: of rage, which lasted for years and bothered or bored
Speaker 1: people who thought it pointless to rehash things that couldn't
Speaker 1: be changed. Bill Clinton, of all people, he.
Speaker 3: Didn't even look like he had the ability to show
Speaker 3: rage when all of that was going on. Remember when
Speaker 3: they did that big balloon drop and he looked like
Speaker 3: all in awe, staring at the ceiling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, this was this. I screened apter this just
Speaker 1: for our family because we have two pugs. A pug
Speaker 1: won a National dog show for the first time.
Speaker 2: So great.
Speaker 1: She's kind of weird from a you've bred this so
Speaker 1: it can't breathe standpoint, and and you know you've developed
Speaker 1: an animal that would never occurred on Earth because it
Speaker 1: can't breathe.
Speaker 2: To quote Ian Bremer. Uh, that's a.
Speaker 1: Neat story there, Jack, Okay, Well, we were just excited
Speaker 1: because a pug won a show. They never have me
Speaker 1: because they're ridiculous looking. They're ugly little dogs.
Speaker 2: That's good stuff. Jack.
Speaker 1: I took this picture at the airport. They had a
Speaker 1: sensory room at the Kansas City Airport. I don't think
Speaker 1: I've ever seen one of these in an airport before.
Speaker 1: So I walked over and the plaque said this room
Speaker 1: provides a safe and calming environment to help guests that
Speaker 1: might be feeling overwhelmed. Okay, what the hell is that?
Speaker 1: So did you go into the room or did you
Speaker 1: just read the black I'm not I just read the plaque.
Speaker 1: But is that the modern world where we need a
Speaker 1: room for people who are feeling overwhelmed.
Speaker 2: I can picture being overwhelmed in an airport. I suppose
Speaker 2: you're juggling three kids, your flight just got canceled. It's
Speaker 2: hectic and all. But I don't know. That's just that's
Speaker 2: what life is. I don't And you're gonna go in
Speaker 2: a room? Where are the kid's gonna go? What's it word?
Speaker 2: I don't know? Just too much.
Speaker 1: Robert F. Kennedy intends to require Coca Cola to begin
Speaker 1: using kine sugar instead of high fructose syrup. As HHS secretary.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure you have that within your purview, sir,
Speaker 2: but I'm willing to have the discussion.
Speaker 1: Certainly, can he make a cola company use a certain ingredient?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not hy unless he unless he gets
Speaker 1: the government to declare hyproctose corn syrup like a poison
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't think, well, right, if he engages in the
Speaker 2: sort of regulatory overreach the conservatives regularly criticized. I happen
Speaker 2: to agree with him on that one, but that doesn't
Speaker 2: mean the government has the power to do it or should.
Speaker 1: Oh and on the RFK Junior front, did you see
Speaker 1: the ad Cheryl Hines, his wife, who was the you know,
Speaker 1: the wife of on Curb your Enthusiasm. That's actually RFK
Speaker 1: Junior's wife. She's got to Yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: Oh you didn't. Okay, she has a beauty line out now,
Speaker 1: and she put out an ad in which she's standing
Speaker 1: in the bathroom in RFK Junior is showering behind her naked.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of a weird look for both of them.
Speaker 2: That's hot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh he has yoked, no doubt about it. If
Speaker 1: you want to make yourself look less crazy, that wasn't
Speaker 1: the way to go about it.
Speaker 2: Got my fortune the other day from a Chinese place
Speaker 2: said change your oil every five thousand miles.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you, thank you Panda Express Advice. Well, I
Speaker 1: guess that's it.
