32
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 3: There's some kind of mental illness thing going on here,

33
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 3: because this doesn't make any sense.

34
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: What's the plan? If Putin doesn't agree to a ceasefire?

35
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,440

Speaker 7: I don't care the leftanks we're coming.

46
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 5: I think at a certain point you have to start

47
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 5: looking at what do you do when you have a

48
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:34,720

00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 9: with the chainsaw. Now President Trump taking a sledgehammer to

53
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 9: the Department of Education.

54
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: And am a firm believer that President Trump will run

55
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: and win again in twenty twenty eight. As we'll say

56
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: what the definitioner term limit is.

57
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: I'm a leader. I made my money all by myself.

58
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: Most of their ass I do.

64
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: God, when I'm talking, you're not talking about Hill. When

65
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: I'm talking, you're not talking.

66
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 8: Ah.

67
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: That was Alec Baldwin's wife there at the end. Oh

68
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,440

69
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 8: Oh?

70
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: Just nails on a blackboard? Yikes.

71
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: Those previous clips were completely inaudible, which is odd for

72
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: an audio feature, but it's creative anyway.

73
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: I don't even remember what the clip was. That almost

74
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: was the opening clip today. Uh does it need any

75
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: set up?

76
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: A clip? Sixteen? Katie, I think you brought this.

77
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 9: Uh it's it is a dude dressed as a woman

78
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 9: and she's or he's got one of those nose rings

79
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 9: and that looks like two hooks coming out of his nostrils,

80
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 9: and yeah, it's he's a mess.

81
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: Okay, Clay Case, you need to load a mimp in

82
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: a truck and you can use a stick with a

83
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: hook on it.

84
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: It's very handy, a nose ring exactly. So this is

85
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 3: a pay three piece. So I thought I've explained something.

86
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 8: When I say I'm a woman, I'm not asking if

87
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 8: you'll pretend I fit your definitions of a woman. I'm

88
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 8: saying I'm a woman. You should add that to your

89
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 8: definitions of women. Now, yeah, does that make sense?

90
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 2: Nope? No, thanks.

91
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 9: Also, don't call me sweet peaude.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you don't have to answer this question

Speaker 1: obviously if it's too personal, But do you call her something.

101
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,800

Speaker 8: your definitions of a woman. I'm saying I'm a woman.

133
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 8: You should add that to your definitions of women.

134
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: Now, ye haven't changed my mind. I'm not see I

135
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 2: know what a woman is.

136
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 3: I'm fairly confident, fairly cause I'm one hundred percent confident

137
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: in my knowledge of what's a woman and what's not.

138
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,320

140
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: You can lead a horse to water by their nose ring,

141
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: but you can't make them drink the kool aid of

142
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: whatever this is.

143
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:06,159

Speaker 3: It looks like Stephen Tyler Verosmith in his younger days.

Speaker 1: Those are practically horns. That's not just like way, that's

151
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: not your smaller nose ring, that's a Those are horns.

152
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,239

Speaker 3: his his nose.

155
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: This isn't always true, but I remember PJ O'Rourke, who

156
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: passed away a couple of years ago, saying that the

157
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: number of piercings, tattoos, et cetera inversely related to how

158
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: interesting you are. And I've found that to be a

159
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: case on a case on a number of occasions. Not

160
00:07:54,600 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: always true, but sometimes it is a I'm trying really

161
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: hard to have something to offer the world, but I

162
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: ain't got nothing.

163
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: I don't want to be cruel because there are a

164
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 3: lot of fine folks who have various adornments that they enjoy. Sure,

165
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: and blanket to indictments are are well, they're they're inaccurate,

166
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: which is I PJ was not entirely wrong, though.

167
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

168
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 3: If you want to express yourself, express yourself, don't like

169
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 3: stick something through your what's.

170
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 2: It's I mean you can if you want.

171
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: My messages to the world is that I'm but tusked.

172
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: That's that's what I'm trying to say to the world.

173
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: I have tusks exactly. Yeah.

174
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, So there's an inverse relationship between how interesting you

175
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: actually are. We have some experience with a character who

176
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: had multiple gimmicks slash look at me, look at me,

177
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: look at me's And if you were to engage that

178
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 3: individual and conversation, you would find it was a great

179
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 3: deal like conversing with I don't know, a barnyard animal,

180
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 3: glass of milk, Yes, a glass.

181
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: Milk if you prefer a cat.

182
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: A couple of interesting pieces in the opinion section of

183
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal today that I wanted to mention

184
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: before we run out of time for the week. Pretty good.

185
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: I think you'll like something that was called a lie

186
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: by political fact that is couldn't be more true that

187
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: Eli mus fact checking doesn't check facts. But we got

188
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: a lot of serving. We had a lot of good

189
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: stuff on the way. I hope you can stay with this.

190
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 8: Basically, so, I thought i'd explained something. When I say

191
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 8: I'm a woman, I'm not asking if you'll pretend I

192
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 8: fit your definitions of a woman. I'm saying I'm a woman.

193
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 8: You should add that to your definitions of women. Now, yeah,

194
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 8: does that make sense?

195
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: Okay?

196
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: So completely aside from the trans issue, the is that

197
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: that person there had tusks. They had a big thing

198
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: through their middle of their nose and two tusks coming

199
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: out and.

200
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 3: They consider themselves an elephant American.

201
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: And there there are different levels of adornment that have

202
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: become more acceptable, you know, in the last couple of decades, obviously,

203
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: and we've all grown used to it. I mean there,

204
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: when I was younger, if a woman with a tattoo

205
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: had this might be shocking to you, Katie, because you're younger.

206
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: But I worked at this country bar. If there had

207
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: been a woman who had a tattoo, everybody in the

208
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: bar would have been talking about it, like if she

209
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: had a tattoo because she just never ever ever saw

210
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: a woman with a tattoo, right, weird. It would have

211
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: seemed crazy.

212
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 8: Uh.

213
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: And now it is as acceptable as anything could possibly

214
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: and being fine, I have no problem with it.

215
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 3: Uh.

216
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: And similar with some of the piercings that would have

217
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: been incredibly crazy. You know, this thing through the nose

218
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: or whatever. Now you see it all the time. But

219
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: there I still find the gauges in the ears, which

220
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: you had, Katie. Uh, pretty enough. So just because you're

221
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: starting to deform yourself at that point. I've seen the

222
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: I have seen in person the lumps under the head

223
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: where you get horns.

224
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 9: I guess, oh yeah, they're implants, like silicone implants that

225
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 9: they put right under your skin.

226
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know. It looks like you're some sort

227
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 2: of devil child.

228
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: I don't know at the point you're deforming yourself to

229
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: the extent that you ought to be under the care

230
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: of state because harming yourself. But you gave us an example, Katie,

231
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: if someone you worked.

232
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 9: With, Yeah, I worked with someone years ago who used

233
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 9: to do this suspension training, if I'm remembering properly, But

234
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 9: they would go to these meetings and put giant fish

235
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 9: hooks through the top layer of their skin, just behind

236
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 9: their shoulder blades, one right in the middle of the back,

237
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 9: and then I believe like two in the like your

238
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 9: love handle area, and then someone would pull on the

239
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 9: rope and you would suspend and hang from the ceiling.

240
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 9: And you know, I'd see them at work and they'd

241
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 9: have bandages all over their back, and I get, you know,

242
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 9: it's I guess it's part of like some witchcraft thing.

243
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: But oh, my goodness, oh it's a witchcraft thing. I

244
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: was going to ask, do they claim then that, oh,

245
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: you you have no idea how freeing it is. I mean,

246
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: it just it really releases the stress of a day

247
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: to hang there for a while, and then the toxins

248
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: in my biome, in my stomach and everything gets better

249
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: when I hang from the ceiling by fish hooks through

250
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: my back right.

251
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 9: And like when I say fish hooks, I mean like

252
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 9: deep sea sport fishing fish hooks, not like the little

253
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 9: tiny marble talks.

254
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

255
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah, well I'd actually prefer that if I'm suspended

256
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 3: in such a way.

257
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: If you're doing that this weekend, I will.

258
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 3: Teach you to play golf for free. It's frustrating at

259
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 3: first one. I think you'll enjoy it very much. It's

260
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 3: better for your health than being lifted aloft like you're

261
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 3: a recently landed.

262
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: Back walking around huff and paint out of a sack

263
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: would be a step up.

264
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: I don't know about that. Wow, that's crazy.

265
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 3: So it was it like a witchcrafty thing as opposed

266
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: to a sexual thing or was it kind of both?

267
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 9: It definitely more witchcraft than than sexual. Here's a witch

268
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 9: very the crowd that did this very goth dark personalities.

269
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: And they call them suspensions.

270
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, oh boy, the blood, the blood that

271
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 9: because you know, they would show pictures like, oh check

272
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 9: this out, you know, it's like, oh, I don't.

273
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: Want to see that.

274
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, so amateur psychoanalysis on this is just your incredibly

275
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: lonely uh you feel like a nobody. That'd just be

276
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: my guess. But it's a thing maybe I shouldn't Maybe

277
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be so judged mental.

278
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 3: Well, And it's it's a natural impulse for younger people

279
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 3: to want.

280
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: To suspend themselves from bishooks.

281
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: Yes no, to be seen as or to see themselves

282
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: as bold or adventurous or unafraid. I would suggest there

283
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 3: are better avenues to pursue that sort of fulfillment than

284
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 3: having yourself lifted like you're about to have your throat

285
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 3: cut at a chicken factory.

286
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: You know, whatever, this is if I ever get to

287
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: have a ted talk, this is what I would like

288
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: it to be. And I've done that. I've had this

289
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: screed many many times. I wish you could convince everybody, really,

290
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: and certainly teenagers, you want to be like the average person.

291
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: And that's the last thing you want to be when

292
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: you're a teenager is like the typical person. But the

293
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: typical person doesn't go to jail. The typical person graduates

294
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: high school, the typical person gets a job. The typical

295
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: person supports themselves. The typical person isn't a drug addict.

296
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: The typical person, I mean, all of things that are

297
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: like your average typical person that you're trying so hard

298
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: not to be, are things that are gonna make your

299
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: life so much freaking better. Yeah, you want to be

300
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: that typical person, you just do. Typical person gets married,

301
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: has a home, has kids, et cetera, et cetera.

302
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 2: Those are the happy people.

303
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want to grow a long beard, or

304
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 3: you know, get a couple of tats, or go ahead,

305
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 3: play a metal band, enjoy yourself. But you know, the

306
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 3: the mainstream is the mainstream for a reason. A lot

307
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 3: of it's because it's a better idea. Yeah, right, then,

308
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 3: it's not that we lack imagination, friends, it's that we've

309
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 3: tried the other stuff and it's a bad idea.

310
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: Well, I have tried everything. I haven't tried that. I

311
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: haven't suspended myself even once. I want your reaction to

312
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: the photo I just sent you, Jack, I don't want

313
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: to see it. Is it going to gross me out?

314
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 3: Oh?

315
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's about like you'd expect.

316
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god.

317
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: It's pretty icky.

318
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: Where the dude's getting suspended in the fashion that we

319
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 3: have discussed.

320
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: No wear sock shoes like we were talking about last hour.

321
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: You want to be really out there and bold, wear

322
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: sock shoes. You'll go through a faith maybe like when

323
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: I had a perman war parachute pants. Really no harm done,

324
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: No harm done.

325
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: The world's leading Leo Sayer imitator in nineteen eighty six.

326
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: Luckily, pre smartphone, no pictures of this exist.

327
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: He knows he can dance. You know he can dance.

328
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, no permanent damage, no blood. Nobody was worried

329
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: for my mental health.

330
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 3: At least he's being lifted up by his back and

331
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 3: not his front. I mean that would be really uncomfortable.

332
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 9: Oh the front is also Oh no, oh.

333
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: Katie, say it ain't so.

334
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: And I assume when you talk to those people, if

335
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: a guy like me, a square like me, were to

336
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: say you're mentally ill, that's exactly what they want they want.

337
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: But a person like me, you know, middle aged dad

338
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: to say they're antal eel typical of that kind of guy.

339
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 8: You know that?

340
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, Yeah, I get it.

341
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: You gotta go through it, just don't don't do the

342
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 3: super crazy stuff.

343
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: God, if I come home and my kids are hanging

344
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: from the ceiling by fish hooks. I'm gonna feel like

345
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: I failed.

346
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you Armstrong and Getty.

347
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 5: On the first day of college basketball's Banner Tournament, a

348
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 5: technical foul on Louisville's coach Pat Kelsey as the Cardinals

349
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 5: tried to claw their way back against Creighton, turning into

350
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 5: an ugly moment as someone through a water bottle onto

351
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 5: the court of the announcers immediately reacting to the brazen measure.

352
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: Come on, I could have done some real damage to

353
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: the full water bottle.

354
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 5: The University of Kentucky police quickly identified the individual who

355
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 5: caused the disruption and removed them from the facility.

356
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 3: You've got people setting fire to testa dealerships. I'm sorry.

357
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 3: I yeah, don't drunk bottles, your bottle chuckers. But yeah, sorry, no.

358
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: Outrage left, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

359
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 2: You drag them out of the stadium. One.

360
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: I agree, A boy.

361
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: You know, I'm scanning the sound sheet. I'm kicking myself.

362
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 3: It's sometimes we have too many assets and I you know,

363
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 3: it gets lost in the stuff you need, gets lost

364
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 3: in the forest. But got a lot of great clips

365
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 3: about ending the department of education. We were talking about that earlier.

366
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 3: For instance. We'll just touch on this quickly. Thirty two,

367
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 3: Jackie Heinrich, Fox News.

368
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 10: The nation's report card shows math proficiency at thirty nine

369
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 10: percent in fourth graders, twenty eight percent for eighth grade,

370
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 10: in reading fourth graders thirty one percent, proficient eighth graders

371
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 10: sitting at thirty percent. But the National Education Association says

372
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 10: the move will quote hurt all students by sending class

373
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 10: sizes soaring, cutting job training programs, making higher education more expensive.

374
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: None of those to any of those things. Now, none

375
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: of those things are going to happen.

376
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 2: You're lying. I wonder why they would lie.

377
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 3: Is it because they don't want to use their great, compelling,

378
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 3: honest arguments? Are they keeping them fresh for Sunday because

379
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 3: that's all they have? Play Satan? Why do we always

380
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 3: assume Satan is going to be a dude. That's sexism

381
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 3: to me. Satan can assume many forms, including that of

382
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 3: the overhied.

383
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: It's not been my experience.

384
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty five.

385
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 7: It is an assault on knowledge. It is an assault

386
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 7: on what our kids need, curiosity, innovation, confidence in the future.

387
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 7: That's what's so stunning about.

388
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 3: This Randy Weingarten, who has to have her horns filed

389
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: down every three months to keep them from being visible.

390
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: She is Satan in human form.

391
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: I honestly don't know how she sleeps at night because.

392
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 2: She has no conscience. She is a sociopath.

393
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 3: She you'd have to be m Yeah, yeah, millions children suffering.

394
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: You know, I was just reading a piece. Didn't mention

395
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: it on the show yet. But New York City is

396
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 3: absentee numbers. It's the biggest school district in America. The

397
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 3: chronic absenteeism has skyrocketed since COVID. The best anybody can

398
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 3: figure out is kids and families either got out of

399
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 3: the habit of sending the kids to school, or the

400
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 3: message was just sent unmistakably that we do not value

401
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 3: your attendance at school. It's not that big a deal.

402
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 3: Will pretend to educate you on video, it's not working

403
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 3: at all. We're still going to keep you out of

404
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: school for reasons you and your parents don't quite get.

405
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 3: But it sent an unmistakable message, and so New York's

406
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 3: now got just a crisis of you know, I wonder

407
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 3: if I could find that real quickly, we get do

408
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 3: numbers right, but the numbers are shocking.

409
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've wondered about that, because it's a nationwide that's

410
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: a problem. What is that psychologically?

411
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 2: I think it might be like.

412
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: It's a macro version of you know, like you go

413
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: on a diet or you're hitting a gym every day,

414
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: and then when you break that streak, oh my god,

415
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: it can be hard to get that streak going again.

416
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: It might just be that I wonder, we just had

417
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: the discipline of sending our kid to school all the time,

418
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: and the kids going to school all the time, and

419
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: then we just broke that streak, and then we just

420
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: can't get it back.

421
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 3: Jason Riley of the Wall Street Journal, who's a terrific

422
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 3: writer and actually concerned about poor kids, minority kids, black kids, whatever,

423
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 3: and not pretends to be for money in power like

424
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 3: Randy Winegarten, who I might have mentioned, is satan Chronic

425
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 3: absenteeism defined as missing ten percent or more school days

426
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 3: in a given academic yere. I mean that's one day

427
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 3: every two weeks. That's a lot climbed from twenty five

428
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 3: percent before the pandemic, which ain't great, to thirty five

429
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 3: percent last year, well above the national average. Broken down

430
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 3: by grade level. The chronically absent rate for the last

431
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 3: school year was forty one percent for kindergarten, thirty five

432
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 3: percent for first grade, and about thirty two and a

433
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 3: half percent for second grade.

434
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: Kindergarten. Admired that much, but the habit would be a problem.

435
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: You don't want to make a habit of not going.

436
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: But but wow, that's something. So chronic absintee is a

437
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: more than ten days? Is that what you said, yes, sir,

438
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: and more than ten percent.

439
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: Wow, that is something, And.

440
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 3: Raleigh points out, and it's an excellent point. And this

441
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 3: makes the COVID cruelty all the more cruel.

442
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 2: He says, and I quote.

443
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 3: The figures are especially alarming because educators have long known

444
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 3: that the ability to read by third grade, when a

445
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 3: child goes from learning to read to reading to learn,

446
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 3: it's worth repeating they go from learning to read to

447
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 3: reading to learn, is a reliable predictor of future success

448
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 3: in everything from high school graduation to avoiding the criminal

449
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 3: justice system. Wow, and you sat millions and millions and

450
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 3: millions of kids out at that critical point so you

451
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 3: could extort more money and power and for the poor

452
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 3: desperate appearance.

453
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: And pretended like the zoom thing was worth a crap.

454
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, anyway, Okay, speaking of America's youth, this was

455
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 3: really interesting how social media expectations are destroying teenage friendships.

456
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 2: And this is the sort of thing I must sit.

457
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 3: Humbly by and be taught about, as I don't have

458
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 3: a lot of interactions with teens these days. I've got

459
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 3: a huge, huge amount in the nineties and two thousands.

460
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: A little weird if you did at this point outside

461
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: of some sort of mentoring program or something.

462
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 3: Which actually I'm going to be getting involved with and

463
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: I can't wait. But anyway, unmet expectations on social media

464
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 3: are the primary cause of teen friendship conflicts in the

465
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 3: modern day. Disappointment from friends not responding or engaging as

466
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 3: expected leads to stronger emotional reactions and arguments, more so

467
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 3: than the pressure to be constantly available. So number one,

468
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 3: you post something, your friends don't like it, they don't

469
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 3: reply to it, or whatever, You feel abandoned, You feel rejected,

470
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 3: and then visual content on social media amplifies the feelings

471
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 3: of exclusion and jealousy. Teens are more likely to feel

472
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 3: left out or rejected when they see friends active online

473
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 3: or spending time with others, triggering emotional stress and increasing conflict.

474
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that as a as an unpopular high

475
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: school kid, if I had had the ability to actually

476
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: like see the party everybody was going to and videos

477
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: of it and everything like that, Oh my god, that

478
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 1: would have been brutal.

479
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 3: I don't think it's any better for a reasonably popular

480
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 3: high school kid. Oh look, there are my three best

481
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 3: friends doing something.

482
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 2: Why did they lose my number? That'd be terrible. Yeah.

483
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: And then with the whole dating thing, the ability to

484
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: see you know, the early you dated for two weeks

485
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: now with some other guy.

486
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 2: Oh, oh, you know. They don't just deal with it,

487
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 2: you have to see it. Yeah. Oh so.

488
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 3: New research from a university reveals how this digital pressure

489
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 3: wanted to constantly be available, among other things, is creating

490
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 3: stress that leads to real world friendship conflicts for teens.

491
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 3: They tracked twelve hundred teenagers over six months to understand

492
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 3: how social media affects their friendships. What they found pat's

493
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 3: a concerning concerning picture of modern teen relationships.

494
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 5: Well.

495
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: I do interact with teens a lot, having a couple

496
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: of teenagers, but it doesn't mean I'm many better prepared

497
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: to help them navigate this sense.

498
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 2: It didn't exist when I was young at all. Yeah.

499
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's it's the pressure of constantly being available,

500
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 3: but even more so than that, disappointment when friends aren't

501
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 3: available to them, and the feeling of missing out, rejection

502
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 3: and the.

503
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,479
Speaker 2: Rest of it. Yeah.

504
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, got to unplugged the Internet. I would really miss

505
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 3: googling who is the batting champion in nineteen eighty three.

506
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: But I'll get out a sports allmanoch like I used

507
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: to have, and I'll look it up.

508
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 3: Or I'll argue with my friends and we'll laugh and

509
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 3: call each other names over a couple of beers and

510
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 3: never come up with the right answer and not care.

511
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: Right and everything will be fine.

512
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 2: You know what?

513
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,239
Speaker 3: We I had one of those. It was just last night.

514
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 3: I was hanging out with some fellas and a good

515
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 3: buddy of mine. He's a good guy. But we couldn't remember.

516
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 3: Oh what was it where I can't remember what we

517
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 3: couldn't remember, But it was something like that.

518
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 2: It was a smarts trivia question. I think it was sports. Yeah,

519
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 2: I want to.

520
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: Hear the question golf, basketball, baseball, football, all right?

521
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 3: You know how it goes the minute. I probably not Bowling.

522
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 3: The minute I stopped thinking about it, it will pop into

523
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 3: my head. Yeah, it's Bowling. Who was the guy who

524
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 3: said that? Famous friends? But it was something like that.

525
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 3: And before I could stop and me googled it. No, no, no,

526
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 3: I want to be tortured by this until I can

527
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 3: come up with the answer.

528
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 2: Oh, I remember.

529
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 3: It was what golf course in the eastern US, the

530
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 3: Philadelphia area has baskets instead of flags on the poles

531
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 3: that mark were the hole is the pins?

532
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 1: And why do they do that?

533
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 3: It's just an old, quaint tradition. But I was like, oh, no, no,

534
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 3: is it No. Before I could stop him, he googled it.

535
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 3: Oh it's blankety Yeah.

536
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, how many people are aware of sand greens?

537
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: I brought this up to somebody the other day and

538
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: they'd never even heard of such a thing.

539
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 3: I was astounded by it. When we first met in

540
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 3: Kansas and you told me about them, I was like, wait, what, what?

541
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if they have him anywhere else but

542
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: in Kansas because it was so dry and it was

543
00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: so difficult and unrealistic to try to have green grass

544
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: stay alive. For green greens, the greens were just a

545
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: big sand pit.

546
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 3: But they were like, you got to play golf dressed

547
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 3: crusty sand or kind of.

548
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: But you basically just you drew a groove in the

549
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: sand with your putter and then putted the ball down

550
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: the groove and it went the hole. It basically just

551
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: eliminated putting from the sport. It allowed you to have

552
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: a golf course and play golf, but you couldn't have putting,

553
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: which obviously is a very important part of the sport.

554
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: But it just wasn't realistic to have greens, so they didn't.

555
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 2: Yeah again, I was I was amazed by that.

556
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,239
Speaker 3: It was like hearing from a weird culture where they

557
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 3: drink cat's blood or something.

558
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: At the turn.

559
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 2: Hey, anybody thirsty, it's hot day.

560
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 3: Calves blood caves, blood caves blood pinto UFO break?

561
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 2: Do you want me to play the full? Pete Weber

562
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: clip is very good. I forgot how goodness this is.

563
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: This is one of the all time legendary bowlers. He

564
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: just bowled a strike or a three hundred or whatever

565
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: he did.

566
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, he won the game. Yeah, he became the champion.

567
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 2: Yeah a strike to claim.

568
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 3: It another time?

569
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 2: Are you that's right? Who do you think you are

570
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 2: I think you are? I am? That's right.

571
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 4: Oh, you can get t shirts that say whoever you

572
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 4: think you are, I am, you are am. That's one

573
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 4: of the great, great those things of all time. We'll

574
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 4: finish strong next Armstrong.

575
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 2: Hey, here's a guy who drives to Tesla.

576
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if anything will happen to me. Give my

577
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: car keet or you yell that.

578
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 3: Pal green energy dreaming, unicorn riding weenie. Oh, I mean

579
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 3: you right wing fascist, maga loving racist climate week exactly,

580
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 3: yeah something, so this might be the perfect cap on

581
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 3: the week. Recent Gallup poll did their usual probing of

582
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 3: Americans try to figure out what they thought about what,

583
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 3: including their confidence in various institutions great deal, quite a lot,

584
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 3: some are very little, and number one in America. The

585
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 3: most trusted valued thing that they asked about, anyway, was

586
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 3: small business sixty one percent. I don't know how you

587
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 3: don't have confidence in small business. They live and die

588
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,239
Speaker 3: by their performance. It's the ultimate American thing. You talk

589
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 3: about a meritocracy, yeah, indeed, Yeah, a salute to use

590
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 3: small business people the seriously the backbone of the country.

591
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 3: The military is certainly a part of that backbone. Jack

592
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 3: it's a multifaceted backbone.

593
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: If small businesses are the backbone of the country, what

594
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: is talk radio me the spleen spin.

595
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: The femurs of the country.

596
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 3: All right, sure keeps us being from knees connected to Pelvis's.

597
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: I mean, how weird would that be? Anyway?

598
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 3: Number two twelve points down and barely half forty nine

599
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 3: percent is the military. Forty nine percent have a great

600
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 3: deal quite a lot some confidence, a great dealer.

601
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: What does it mean to not have confidence in the military,

602
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: don't have the confidence for them to.

603
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 2: Whoop up in a war? Or Yeah, I don't know.

604
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 3: Actually there are areas in which I don't have confidence

605
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 3: in the military.

606
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 2: I think we've gotten kind of fat and lazy.

607
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: Well I have, I don't My confidence in the Pentagon

608
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: is not that high. My confidence in the military is

609
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: very high.

610
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: I don't know.

611
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how other people.

612
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 3: Look at this, right, Yeah, that's there's there's a lot

613
00:31:58,520 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: of nuance to that one in particular.

614
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 2: Or the police is net thirty four positive.

615
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: Good.

616
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 2: You wouldn't get that idea from the news media.

617
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 3: The medical system is net six positive.

618
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: It couldn't be more screwed up.

619
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: No, but an individual It's kind of like the way

620
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: we everybody hates Congress, but they like their own congressman.

621
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: They vote for their own congressman over and over again.

622
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: Like the medical system is awful and terrible, and my

623
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: doctor's fantastic and I've had him for years exactly.

624
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

625
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 3: The following four are all like positive negatives are balanced,

626
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 3: the same organized labor, banks, higher education boo, and the

627
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 3: church or organized religion. Then you get into the negatives,

628
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 3: and I wish we had time for all of it.

629
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:54,040
