0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 2>in charge here? It just dawned on me.

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 3>We're all excited about a clip before the show started.

0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 2>It was almost the opening clip.

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:32.560
<v Speaker 3>It lost out to JD Van's call and Kamala drunk

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 3>for reasons that you see, you can guess, but we

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.520
<v Speaker 3>haven't played it at all. Now, who's in Seriously, who's

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:40.919
<v Speaker 3>in charge? Well, your name's on the show, you jackass?

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 3>Fair point, fair point.

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you make a good argument, But we need to

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:50.519
<v Speaker 4>get to that clip.

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 3>I can't wait, but first it must give way too

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:59.360
<v Speaker 3>many other clips. Oddly enough, it's the Friday tradition. It's

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 3>time to take far look back at the week that was.

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 3>It's cow clips of the Week.

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Hello stranger, So this really come as quite a shock

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:06.399
<v Speaker 2>to me.

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Which.

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.319
<v Speaker 5>SpaceX Crew ten climbing through the skies above a Falcon

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 5>nine rocket.

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 2>And splash down Crew nine back on Earth.

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:23.759
<v Speaker 3>Well and speaking up for the women folk in space,

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 3>you don't have to worry about, you know, support garments

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 3>or anything, you know, your bobs flow cow.

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 6>Yes, d FBI is investigating what it calls a targeted

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 6>attack shots fired at this Tesla dealership in Oregon, Tesla's

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 6>spray painted in Massachusetts.

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 7>We have to make them really afraid, and what's happening

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 7>now with Musk is making them very afraid.

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 3>There's some kind of mental illness thing going on here,

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 3>because this doesn't make any sense.

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 2>What's the plan? If Putin doesn't agree to a ceasefire?

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Bad news for this world?

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 5>Lami Putin did not agree to the unconditional US backed

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 5>thirty day ceasfireplan.

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 6>It looks like more than three hundred and fifty people

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 6>were killed. This according to the Palestinian health officials in Hamas.

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 3>We cannot have a world with the Ayatolas with their

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 3>finger on the nuclear button.

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 5>Then as Wayland gang members arriving to his country overnight,

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 5>marching into prison.

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't care whether the judges sank.

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 7>I don't care the leftanks we're coming.

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 5>I think at a certain point you have to start

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 5>looking at what do you do when you have a

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 5>rogue judge?

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Just say no this, and then you'll know that I'm ring.

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 8>Say no.

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 9>You'll know that I'm run first it was Elon Musk

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 9>with the chainsaw. Now President Trump taking a sledgehammer to

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 9>the Department of Education.

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>And am a firm believer that President Trump will run

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.679
<v Speaker 1>and win again in twenty twenty eight. As we'll say

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 1>what the definitioner term limit is.

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm a leader. I made my money all by myself.

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Most of their ass I do.

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 3>Him money.

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 10>I'm studying the unseen body and created spaces of a

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:07.919
<v Speaker 10>racial exposure the queer.

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Do we have jobs for that?

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 8>Yes, it's called Starbucks.

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>God, when I'm talking, you're not talking about Hill. When

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking, you're not talking.

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 8>Ah.

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 1>That was Alec Baldwin's wife there at the end. Oh

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 1>my god, Oh how does he do that?

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 8>Oh?

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Just nails on a blackboard? Yikes.

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 3>Those previous clips were completely inaudible, which is odd for

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 3>an audio feature, but it's creative anyway.

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't even remember what the clip was. That almost

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>was the opening clip today. Uh does it need any

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 1>set up?

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 2>A clip? Sixteen? Katie, I think you brought this.

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 9>Uh it's it is a dude dressed as a woman

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 9>and she's or he's got one of those nose rings

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 9>and that looks like two hooks coming out of his nostrils,

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 9>and yeah, it's he's a mess.

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Clay Case, you need to load a mimp in

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 1>a truck and you can use a stick with a

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>hook on it.

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 3>It's very handy, a nose ring exactly. So this is

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 3>a pay three piece. So I thought I've explained something.

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 8>When I say I'm a woman, I'm not asking if

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.719
<v Speaker 8>you'll pretend I fit your definitions of a woman. I'm

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 8>saying I'm a woman. You should add that to your

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 8>definitions of women. Now, yeah, does that make sense?

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Nope? No, thanks.

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 9>Also, don't call me sweet peaude.

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>No, sir, hard No, I got a question for you.

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.040

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 1>call your wife that is like a pet name?

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she calls me honey.

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's a good one. That's a classic classic.

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:52.799
<v Speaker 2>Sure.

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean you don't have to answer this question

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.599
<v Speaker 1>obviously if it's too personal, But do you call her something.

0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Every once in a while, I'll call her sweety or

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:03.160
<v Speaker 2>something like that. Okay, my queen, that's a good one. O.

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.359

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 3>question with an answer. You should though, Uh, there are

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.680

<v Speaker 3>many many, depending on the mood in the situation. Yeah,

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 3>but of course, yeah, been together.

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.159
<v Speaker 2>Forever, depending on the mood.

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 1>So like in a certain like later tonight, a couple

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:03.799
<v Speaker 3>Joe thankes references to hammers I don't bring.

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, what was that sound? Wow?

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:10.839
<v Speaker 3>And she's miles away right now. I heard my eyes,

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 3>my wife's eyes rolling. That's amazing.

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Thor, it's just when when you mentioned that that

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:23.480
<v Speaker 1>gentleman uh saying sweetpea, I mean because for some people

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:24.360
<v Speaker 1>it might be sweetpea.

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:30.039
<v Speaker 2>Play that that big fella again, would you? Michael Sweep?

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 8>So I thought I'd explained something when I say I'm

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.479
<v Speaker 8>a woman. I'm not asking if you'll pretend I fit

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 8>your definitions of a woman. I'm saying I'm a woman.

0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 8>You should add that to your definitions of women.

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Now, ye haven't changed my mind. I'm not see I

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 2>know what a woman is.

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:51.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm fairly confident, fairly cause I'm one hundred percent confident

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 3>in my knowledge of what's a woman and what's not.

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 2>And you eight you're a fella, So there you go.

0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes you can. At least we were able to settle this.

0:06:59.880 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 1>You can lead a horse to water by their nose ring,

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 1>but you can't make them drink the kool aid of

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 1>whatever this is.

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:06.159
<v Speaker 2>Yes, skatie.

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.280
<v Speaker 9>Oh, I'm just giving you both a nice visual of

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 9>what this fine gentleman looks like.

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Let me check that picture.

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 3>It looks like Stephen Tyler Verosmith in his younger days.

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 3>Perhaps you are a fella, sir, you can looks like

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 3>a late not coincidentally, Yeah.

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Those are practically horns. That's not just like way, that's

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 1>not your smaller nose ring, that's a Those are horns.

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:33.239
<v Speaker 2>Those are tusks. He has to look at his schnaz.

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 3>He's got like various studs stuck in various locations around

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 3>his his nose.

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>This isn't always true, but I remember PJ O'Rourke, who

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>passed away a couple of years ago, saying that the

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>number of piercings, tattoos, et cetera inversely related to how

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.200
<v Speaker 1>interesting you are. And I've found that to be a

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 1>case on a case on a number of occasions. Not

0:07:54.600 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 1>always true, but sometimes it is a I'm trying really

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 1>hard to have something to offer the world, but I

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 1>ain't got nothing.

0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to be cruel because there are a

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 3>lot of fine folks who have various adornments that they enjoy. Sure,

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 3>and blanket to indictments are are well, they're they're inaccurate,

0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:22.120
<v Speaker 3>which is I PJ was not entirely wrong, though.

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 3>If you want to express yourself, express yourself, don't like

0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:33.840
<v Speaker 3>stick something through your what's.

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:35.320
<v Speaker 2>It's I mean you can if you want.

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 1>My messages to the world is that I'm but tusked.

0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 1>That's that's what I'm trying to say to the world.

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.280
<v Speaker 2>I have tusks exactly. Yeah.

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:47.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So there's an inverse relationship between how interesting you

0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 3>actually are. We have some experience with a character who

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 3>had multiple gimmicks slash look at me, look at me,

0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 3>look at me's And if you were to engage that

0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 3>individual and conversation, you would find it was a great

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.680
<v Speaker 3>deal like conversing with I don't know, a barnyard animal,

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 3>glass of milk, Yes, a glass.

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Milk if you prefer a cat.

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.959
<v Speaker 1>A couple of interesting pieces in the opinion section of

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 1>the Wall Street Journal today that I wanted to mention

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 1>before we run out of time for the week. Pretty good.

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I think you'll like something that was called a lie

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:31.640
<v Speaker 1>by political fact that is couldn't be more true that

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Eli mus fact checking doesn't check facts. But we got

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:37.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of serving. We had a lot of good

0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 1>stuff on the way. I hope you can stay with this.

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.319
<v Speaker 8>Basically, so, I thought i'd explained something. When I say

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 8>I'm a woman, I'm not asking if you'll pretend I

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.959
<v Speaker 8>fit your definitions of a woman. I'm saying I'm a woman.

0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 8>You should add that to your definitions of women. Now, yeah,

0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 8>does that make sense?

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.559
<v Speaker 1>So completely aside from the trans issue, the is that

0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 1>that person there had tusks. They had a big thing

0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:08.160
<v Speaker 1>through their middle of their nose and two tusks coming

0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:09.559
<v Speaker 1>out and.

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 3>They consider themselves an elephant American.

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 1>And there there are different levels of adornment that have

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 1>become more acceptable, you know, in the last couple of decades, obviously,

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 1>and we've all grown used to it. I mean there,

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.079
<v Speaker 1>when I was younger, if a woman with a tattoo

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.080
<v Speaker 1>had this might be shocking to you, Katie, because you're younger.

0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.559
<v Speaker 1>But I worked at this country bar. If there had

0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.560
<v Speaker 1>been a woman who had a tattoo, everybody in the

0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 1>bar would have been talking about it, like if she

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:46.920
<v Speaker 1>had a tattoo because she just never ever ever saw

0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.840
<v Speaker 1>a woman with a tattoo, right, weird. It would have

0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:50.440
<v Speaker 1>seemed crazy.

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:51.080
<v Speaker 8>Uh.

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 1>And now it is as acceptable as anything could possibly

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.439
<v Speaker 1>and being fine, I have no problem with it.

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.440
<v Speaker 1>And similar with some of the piercings that would have

0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.960
<v Speaker 1>been incredibly crazy. You know, this thing through the nose

0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:03.880
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. Now you see it all the time. But

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:07.240
<v Speaker 1>there I still find the gauges in the ears, which

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:11.160
<v Speaker 1>you had, Katie. Uh, pretty enough. So just because you're

0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 1>starting to deform yourself at that point. I've seen the

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.439
<v Speaker 1>I have seen in person the lumps under the head

0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 1>where you get horns.

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:25.439
<v Speaker 9>I guess, oh yeah, they're implants, like silicone implants that

0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:26.640
<v Speaker 9>they put right under your skin.

0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I don't know. It looks like you're some sort

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:30.720
<v Speaker 2>of devil child.

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know at the point you're deforming yourself to

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the extent that you ought to be under the care

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 1>of state because harming yourself. But you gave us an example, Katie,

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:42.720
<v Speaker 1>if someone you worked.

0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:46.319
<v Speaker 9>With, Yeah, I worked with someone years ago who used

0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:50.240
<v Speaker 9>to do this suspension training, if I'm remembering properly, But

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:55.000
<v Speaker 9>they would go to these meetings and put giant fish

0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:58.920
<v Speaker 9>hooks through the top layer of their skin, just behind

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.960
<v Speaker 9>their shoulder blades, one right in the middle of the back,

0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:03.880
<v Speaker 9>and then I believe like two in the like your

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.320
<v Speaker 9>love handle area, and then someone would pull on the

0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:10.920
<v Speaker 9>rope and you would suspend and hang from the ceiling.

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:13.720
<v Speaker 9>And you know, I'd see them at work and they'd

0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.000
<v Speaker 9>have bandages all over their back, and I get, you know,

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.719
<v Speaker 9>it's I guess it's part of like some witchcraft thing.

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 1>But oh, my goodness, oh it's a witchcraft thing. I

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 1>was going to ask, do they claim then that, oh,

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>you you have no idea how freeing it is. I mean,

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:29.080
<v Speaker 1>it just it really releases the stress of a day

0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 1>to hang there for a while, and then the toxins

0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:37.440
<v Speaker 1>in my biome, in my stomach and everything gets better

0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 1>when I hang from the ceiling by fish hooks through

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 1>my back right.

0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.440
<v Speaker 9>And like when I say fish hooks, I mean like

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 9>deep sea sport fishing fish hooks, not like the little

0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:47.880
<v Speaker 9>tiny marble talks.

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.920
<v Speaker 3>Wow, yeah, well I'd actually prefer that if I'm suspended

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:52.560
<v Speaker 3>in such a way.

0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.240
<v Speaker 2>If you're doing that this weekend, I will.

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.840
<v Speaker 3>Teach you to play golf for free. It's frustrating at

0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 3>first one. I think you'll enjoy it very much. It's

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 3>better for your health than being lifted aloft like you're

0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.400
<v Speaker 3>a recently landed.

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Back walking around huff and paint out of a sack

0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:09.600
<v Speaker 1>would be a step up.

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:15.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about that. Wow, that's crazy.

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 3>So it was it like a witchcrafty thing as opposed

0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:19.880
<v Speaker 3>to a sexual thing or was it kind of both?

0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:24.880
<v Speaker 9>It definitely more witchcraft than than sexual. Here's a witch

0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:32.679
<v Speaker 9>very the crowd that did this very goth dark personalities.

0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 1>And they call them suspensions.

0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I mean, oh boy, the blood, the blood that

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:40.959
<v Speaker 9>because you know, they would show pictures like, oh check

0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 9>this out, you know, it's like, oh, I don't.

0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Want to see that.

0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so amateur psychoanalysis on this is just your incredibly

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 1>lonely uh you feel like a nobody. That'd just be

0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:59.080
<v Speaker 1>my guess. But it's a thing maybe I shouldn't Maybe

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I shouldn't be so judged mental.

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:04.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, And it's it's a natural impulse for younger people

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:04.800
<v Speaker 3>to want.

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 2>To suspend themselves from bishooks.

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.720
<v Speaker 3>Yes no, to be seen as or to see themselves

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:15.640
<v Speaker 3>as bold or adventurous or unafraid. I would suggest there

0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 3>are better avenues to pursue that sort of fulfillment than

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 3>having yourself lifted like you're about to have your throat

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:24.800
<v Speaker 3>cut at a chicken factory.

0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, whatever, this is if I ever get to

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:30.320
<v Speaker 1>have a ted talk, this is what I would like

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 1>it to be. And I've done that. I've had this

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:36.520
<v Speaker 1>screed many many times. I wish you could convince everybody, really,

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 1>and certainly teenagers, you want to be like the average person.

0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:42.760
<v Speaker 1>And that's the last thing you want to be when

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 1>you're a teenager is like the typical person. But the

0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 1>typical person doesn't go to jail. The typical person graduates

0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 1>high school, the typical person gets a job. The typical

0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.360
<v Speaker 1>person supports themselves. The typical person isn't a drug addict.

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 1>The typical person, I mean, all of things that are

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:04.120
<v Speaker 1>like your average typical person that you're trying so hard

0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.440
<v Speaker 1>not to be, are things that are gonna make your

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:10.760
<v Speaker 1>life so much freaking better. Yeah, you want to be

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:16.520
<v Speaker 1>that typical person, you just do. Typical person gets married,

0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 1>has a home, has kids, et cetera, et cetera.

0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Those are the happy people.

0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if you want to grow a long beard, or

0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, get a couple of tats, or go ahead,

0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 3>play a metal band, enjoy yourself. But you know, the

0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 3>the mainstream is the mainstream for a reason. A lot

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 3>of it's because it's a better idea. Yeah, right, then,

0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 3>it's not that we lack imagination, friends, it's that we've

0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:45.760
<v Speaker 3>tried the other stuff and it's a bad idea.

0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, I have tried everything. I haven't tried that. I

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.080
<v Speaker 1>haven't suspended myself even once. I want your reaction to

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 1>the photo I just sent you, Jack, I don't want

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 1>to see it. Is it going to gross me out?

0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:56.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's about like you'd expect.

0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh my god.

0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty icky.

0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.440
<v Speaker 3>Where the dude's getting suspended in the fashion that we

0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:05.400
<v Speaker 3>have discussed.

0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:07.960
<v Speaker 1>No wear sock shoes like we were talking about last hour.

0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 1>You want to be really out there and bold, wear

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.160
<v Speaker 1>sock shoes. You'll go through a faith maybe like when

0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I had a perman war parachute pants. Really no harm done,

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:16.400
<v Speaker 1>No harm done.

0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 3>The world's leading Leo Sayer imitator in nineteen eighty six.

0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Luckily, pre smartphone, no pictures of this exist.

0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.680
<v Speaker 2>He knows he can dance. You know he can dance.

0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:33.640
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, no permanent damage, no blood. Nobody was worried

0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:34.840
<v Speaker 1>for my mental health.

0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 3>At least he's being lifted up by his back and

0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:41.200
<v Speaker 3>not his front. I mean that would be really uncomfortable.

0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:44.720
<v Speaker 9>Oh the front is also Oh no, oh.

0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Katie, say it ain't so.

0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.160
<v Speaker 1>And I assume when you talk to those people, if

0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 1>a guy like me, a square like me, were to

0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:55.400
<v Speaker 1>say you're mentally ill, that's exactly what they want they want.

0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.280
<v Speaker 1>But a person like me, you know, middle aged dad

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.480
<v Speaker 1>to say they're antal eel typical of that kind of guy.

0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 8>You know that?

0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm, Yeah, I get it.

0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 3>You gotta go through it, just don't don't do the

0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:08.399
<v Speaker 3>super crazy stuff.

0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.000
<v Speaker 1>God, if I come home and my kids are hanging

0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:12.920
<v Speaker 1>from the ceiling by fish hooks. I'm gonna feel like

0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I failed.

0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:17.080
<v Speaker 2>I gotta tell you Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:22.040
<v Speaker 5>On the first day of college basketball's Banner Tournament, a

0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 5>technical foul on Louisville's coach Pat Kelsey as the Cardinals

0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.920
<v Speaker 5>tried to claw their way back against Creighton, turning into

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.800
<v Speaker 5>an ugly moment as someone through a water bottle onto

0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.560
<v Speaker 5>the court of the announcers immediately reacting to the brazen measure.

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Come on, I could have done some real damage to

0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:39.639
<v Speaker 1>the full water bottle.

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.720
<v Speaker 5>The University of Kentucky police quickly identified the individual who

0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:46.400
<v Speaker 5>caused the disruption and removed them from the facility.

0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:52.200
<v Speaker 3>You've got people setting fire to testa dealerships. I'm sorry.

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:56.400
<v Speaker 3>I yeah, don't drunk bottles, your bottle chuckers. But yeah, sorry, no.

0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Outrage left, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:00.119
<v Speaker 2>You drag them out of the stadium. One.

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I agree, A boy.

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm scanning the sound sheet. I'm kicking myself.

0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.679
<v Speaker 3>It's sometimes we have too many assets and I you know,

0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:13.160
<v Speaker 3>it gets lost in the stuff you need, gets lost

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:15.000
<v Speaker 3>in the forest. But got a lot of great clips

0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:18.000
<v Speaker 3>about ending the department of education. We were talking about that earlier.

0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:25.160
<v Speaker 3>For instance. We'll just touch on this quickly. Thirty two,

0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Jackie Heinrich, Fox News.

0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:30.200
<v Speaker 10>The nation's report card shows math proficiency at thirty nine

0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:33.600
<v Speaker 10>percent in fourth graders, twenty eight percent for eighth grade,

0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:37.639
<v Speaker 10>in reading fourth graders thirty one percent, proficient eighth graders

0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:41.240
<v Speaker 10>sitting at thirty percent. But the National Education Association says

0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:44.000
<v Speaker 10>the move will quote hurt all students by sending class

0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:48.719
<v Speaker 10>sizes soaring, cutting job training programs, making higher education more expensive.

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.680
<v Speaker 1>None of those to any of those things. Now, none

0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:52.840
<v Speaker 1>of those things are going to happen.

0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:55.480
<v Speaker 2>You're lying. I wonder why they would lie.

0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.160
<v Speaker 3>Is it because they don't want to use their great, compelling,

0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:02.560
<v Speaker 3>honest arguments? Are they keeping them fresh for Sunday because

0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:06.000
<v Speaker 3>that's all they have? Play Satan? Why do we always

0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:09.159
<v Speaker 3>assume Satan is going to be a dude. That's sexism

0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.359
<v Speaker 3>to me. Satan can assume many forms, including that of

0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:13.640
<v Speaker 3>the overhied.

0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:15.160
<v Speaker 1>It's not been my experience.

0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thirty five.

0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:20.359
<v Speaker 7>It is an assault on knowledge. It is an assault

0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:27.040
<v Speaker 7>on what our kids need, curiosity, innovation, confidence in the future.

0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:29.840
<v Speaker 7>That's what's so stunning about.

0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:33.080
<v Speaker 3>This Randy Weingarten, who has to have her horns filed

0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:36.280
<v Speaker 3>down every three months to keep them from being visible.

0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:38.520
<v Speaker 2>She is Satan in human form.

0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:44.600
<v Speaker 1>I honestly don't know how she sleeps at night because.

0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:48.840
<v Speaker 2>She has no conscience. She is a sociopath.

0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:54.440
<v Speaker 3>She you'd have to be m Yeah, yeah, millions children suffering.

0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:57.240
<v Speaker 3>You know, I was just reading a piece. Didn't mention

0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:59.760
<v Speaker 3>it on the show yet. But New York City is

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:04.320
<v Speaker 3>absentee numbers. It's the biggest school district in America. The

0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:10.280
<v Speaker 3>chronic absenteeism has skyrocketed since COVID. The best anybody can

0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 3>figure out is kids and families either got out of

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:15.639
<v Speaker 3>the habit of sending the kids to school, or the

0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:20.120
<v Speaker 3>message was just sent unmistakably that we do not value

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:22.680
<v Speaker 3>your attendance at school. It's not that big a deal.

0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:26.200
<v Speaker 3>Will pretend to educate you on video, it's not working

0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:27.720
<v Speaker 3>at all. We're still going to keep you out of

0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 3>school for reasons you and your parents don't quite get.

0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:33.399
<v Speaker 3>But it sent an unmistakable message, and so New York's

0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:37.120
<v Speaker 3>now got just a crisis of you know, I wonder

0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:38.639
<v Speaker 3>if I could find that real quickly, we get do

0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 3>numbers right, but the numbers are shocking.

0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've wondered about that, because it's a nationwide that's

0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:45.879
<v Speaker 1>a problem. What is that psychologically?

0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:47.240
<v Speaker 2>I think it might be like.

0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:53.720
<v Speaker 1>It's a macro version of you know, like you go

0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:56.640
<v Speaker 1>on a diet or you're hitting a gym every day,

0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:59.560
<v Speaker 1>and then when you break that streak, oh my god,

0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:01.560
<v Speaker 1>it can be hard to get that streak going again.

0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:05.200
<v Speaker 1>It might just be that I wonder, we just had

0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:08.000
<v Speaker 1>the discipline of sending our kid to school all the time,

0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:11.240
<v Speaker 1>and the kids going to school all the time, and

0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:12.720
<v Speaker 1>then we just broke that streak, and then we just

0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:13.680
<v Speaker 1>can't get it back.

0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:16.879
<v Speaker 3>Jason Riley of the Wall Street Journal, who's a terrific

0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:22.480
<v Speaker 3>writer and actually concerned about poor kids, minority kids, black kids, whatever,

0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:24.960
<v Speaker 3>and not pretends to be for money in power like

0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:29.840
<v Speaker 3>Randy Winegarten, who I might have mentioned, is satan Chronic

0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:34.120
<v Speaker 3>absenteeism defined as missing ten percent or more school days

0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:36.800
<v Speaker 3>in a given academic yere. I mean that's one day

0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:41.200
<v Speaker 3>every two weeks. That's a lot climbed from twenty five

0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:46.480
<v Speaker 3>percent before the pandemic, which ain't great, to thirty five

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:51.400
<v Speaker 3>percent last year, well above the national average. Broken down

0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 3>by grade level. The chronically absent rate for the last

0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:59.679
<v Speaker 3>school year was forty one percent for kindergarten, thirty five

0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:02.600
<v Speaker 3>percent for first grade, and about thirty two and a

0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:04.040
<v Speaker 3>half percent for second grade.

0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Kindergarten. Admired that much, but the habit would be a problem.

0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:09.840
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to make a habit of not going.

0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:14.760
<v Speaker 1>But but wow, that's something. So chronic absintee is a

0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:17.240
<v Speaker 1>more than ten days? Is that what you said, yes, sir,

0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 1>and more than ten percent.

0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that is something, And.

0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Raleigh points out, and it's an excellent point. And this

0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:29.640
<v Speaker 3>makes the COVID cruelty all the more cruel.

0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:30.600
<v Speaker 2>He says, and I quote.

0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:33.480
<v Speaker 3>The figures are especially alarming because educators have long known

0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:37.119
<v Speaker 3>that the ability to read by third grade, when a

0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:40.320
<v Speaker 3>child goes from learning to read to reading to learn,

0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:44.040
<v Speaker 3>it's worth repeating they go from learning to read to

0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:48.360
<v Speaker 3>reading to learn, is a reliable predictor of future success

0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:52.240
<v Speaker 3>in everything from high school graduation to avoiding the criminal

0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:57.399
<v Speaker 3>justice system. Wow, and you sat millions and millions and

0:22:57.440 --> 0:23:00.520
<v Speaker 3>millions of kids out at that critical point so you

0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 3>could extort more money and power and for the poor

0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:05.440
<v Speaker 3>desperate appearance.

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:09.000
<v Speaker 1>And pretended like the zoom thing was worth a crap.

0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:16.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, anyway, Okay, speaking of America's youth, this was

0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:22.480
<v Speaker 3>really interesting how social media expectations are destroying teenage friendships.

0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:25.160
<v Speaker 2>And this is the sort of thing I must sit.

0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:28.840
<v Speaker 3>Humbly by and be taught about, as I don't have

0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 3>a lot of interactions with teens these days. I've got

0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:35.760
<v Speaker 3>a huge, huge amount in the nineties and two thousands.

0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:38.200
<v Speaker 1>A little weird if you did at this point outside

0:23:38.200 --> 0:23:41.159
<v Speaker 1>of some sort of mentoring program or something.

0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:43.280
<v Speaker 3>Which actually I'm going to be getting involved with and

0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:47.000
<v Speaker 3>I can't wait. But anyway, unmet expectations on social media

0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:49.720
<v Speaker 3>are the primary cause of teen friendship conflicts in the

0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:54.200
<v Speaker 3>modern day. Disappointment from friends not responding or engaging as

0:23:54.200 --> 0:23:59.240
<v Speaker 3>expected leads to stronger emotional reactions and arguments, more so

0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:03.639
<v Speaker 3>than the pressure to be constantly available. So number one,

0:24:03.760 --> 0:24:05.880
<v Speaker 3>you post something, your friends don't like it, they don't

0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:09.000
<v Speaker 3>reply to it, or whatever, You feel abandoned, You feel rejected,

0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:13.240
<v Speaker 3>and then visual content on social media amplifies the feelings

0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:16.160
<v Speaker 3>of exclusion and jealousy. Teens are more likely to feel

0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:18.960
<v Speaker 3>left out or rejected when they see friends active online

0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:23.240
<v Speaker 3>or spending time with others, triggering emotional stress and increasing conflict.

0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:27.120
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine that as a as an unpopular high

0:24:27.119 --> 0:24:32.400
<v Speaker 1>school kid, if I had had the ability to actually

0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:37.120
<v Speaker 1>like see the party everybody was going to and videos

0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:39.720
<v Speaker 1>of it and everything like that, Oh my god, that

0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:40.880
<v Speaker 1>would have been brutal.

0:24:41.440 --> 0:24:44.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it's any better for a reasonably popular

0:24:44.080 --> 0:24:46.560
<v Speaker 3>high school kid. Oh look, there are my three best

0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:48.160
<v Speaker 3>friends doing something.

0:24:48.440 --> 0:24:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Why did they lose my number? That'd be terrible. Yeah.

0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:58.520
<v Speaker 1>And then with the whole dating thing, the ability to

0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:01.320
<v Speaker 1>see you know, the early you dated for two weeks

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:03.280
<v Speaker 1>now with some other guy.

0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh, oh, you know. They don't just deal with it,

0:25:08.040 --> 0:25:11.080
<v Speaker 2>you have to see it. Yeah. Oh so.

0:25:11.240 --> 0:25:14.320
<v Speaker 3>New research from a university reveals how this digital pressure

0:25:14.440 --> 0:25:17.399
<v Speaker 3>wanted to constantly be available, among other things, is creating

0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:20.600
<v Speaker 3>stress that leads to real world friendship conflicts for teens.

0:25:21.280 --> 0:25:26.480
<v Speaker 3>They tracked twelve hundred teenagers over six months to understand

0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:30.000
<v Speaker 3>how social media affects their friendships. What they found pat's

0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:34.440
<v Speaker 3>a concerning concerning picture of modern teen relationships.

0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:36.640
<v Speaker 5>Well.

0:25:36.720 --> 0:25:40.280
<v Speaker 1>I do interact with teens a lot, having a couple

0:25:40.280 --> 0:25:44.760
<v Speaker 1>of teenagers, but it doesn't mean I'm many better prepared

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:46.879
<v Speaker 1>to help them navigate this sense.

0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:51.400
<v Speaker 2>It didn't exist when I was young at all. Yeah.

0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:55.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so it's it's the pressure of constantly being available,

0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:58.960
<v Speaker 3>but even more so than that, disappointment when friends aren't

0:25:59.000 --> 0:26:02.160
<v Speaker 3>available to them, and the feeling of missing out, rejection

0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:02.520
<v Speaker 3>and the.

0:26:02.440 --> 0:26:04.479
<v Speaker 2>Rest of it. Yeah.

0:26:05.400 --> 0:26:11.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, got to unplugged the Internet. I would really miss

0:26:11.359 --> 0:26:14.000
<v Speaker 3>googling who is the batting champion in nineteen eighty three.

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:16.000
<v Speaker 1>But I'll get out a sports allmanoch like I used

0:26:16.000 --> 0:26:17.000
<v Speaker 1>to have, and I'll look it up.

0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:19.679
<v Speaker 3>Or I'll argue with my friends and we'll laugh and

0:26:19.720 --> 0:26:21.520
<v Speaker 3>call each other names over a couple of beers and

0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:23.520
<v Speaker 3>never come up with the right answer and not care.

0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Right and everything will be fine.

0:26:25.480 --> 0:26:25.920
<v Speaker 2>You know what?

0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:28.239
<v Speaker 3>We I had one of those. It was just last night.

0:26:28.280 --> 0:26:30.560
<v Speaker 3>I was hanging out with some fellas and a good

0:26:30.560 --> 0:26:34.320
<v Speaker 3>buddy of mine. He's a good guy. But we couldn't remember.

0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:37.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh what was it where I can't remember what we

0:26:37.800 --> 0:26:40.199
<v Speaker 3>couldn't remember, But it was something like that.

0:26:40.200 --> 0:26:43.199
<v Speaker 2>It was a smarts trivia question. I think it was sports. Yeah,

0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:44.760
<v Speaker 2>I want to.

0:26:44.760 --> 0:26:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Hear the question golf, basketball, baseball, football, all right?

0:26:47.880 --> 0:26:50.520
<v Speaker 3>You know how it goes the minute. I probably not Bowling.

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:53.080
<v Speaker 3>The minute I stopped thinking about it, it will pop into

0:26:53.080 --> 0:26:59.320
<v Speaker 3>my head. Yeah, it's Bowling. Who was the guy who

0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:03.680
<v Speaker 3>said that? Famous friends? But it was something like that.

0:27:03.720 --> 0:27:06.600
<v Speaker 3>And before I could stop and me googled it. No, no, no,

0:27:07.359 --> 0:27:09.320
<v Speaker 3>I want to be tortured by this until I can

0:27:09.359 --> 0:27:10.280
<v Speaker 3>come up with the answer.

0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I remember.

0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:16.840
<v Speaker 3>It was what golf course in the eastern US, the

0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:23.399
<v Speaker 3>Philadelphia area has baskets instead of flags on the poles

0:27:23.400 --> 0:27:24.879
<v Speaker 3>that mark were the hole is the pins?

0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:26.199
<v Speaker 1>And why do they do that?

0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:32.119
<v Speaker 3>It's just an old, quaint tradition. But I was like, oh, no, no,

0:27:32.280 --> 0:27:36.040
<v Speaker 3>is it No. Before I could stop him, he googled it.

0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:37.359
<v Speaker 3>Oh it's blankety Yeah.

0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:41.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like, oh, how many people are aware of sand greens?

0:27:41.600 --> 0:27:43.280
<v Speaker 1>I brought this up to somebody the other day and

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:44.600
<v Speaker 1>they'd never even heard of such a thing.

0:27:44.960 --> 0:27:47.280
<v Speaker 3>I was astounded by it. When we first met in

0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:50.359
<v Speaker 3>Kansas and you told me about them, I was like, wait, what, what?

0:27:52.080 --> 0:27:53.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they have him anywhere else but

0:27:53.480 --> 0:27:55.840
<v Speaker 1>in Kansas because it was so dry and it was

0:27:55.880 --> 0:28:01.160
<v Speaker 1>so difficult and unrealistic to try to have green grass

0:28:01.280 --> 0:28:06.120
<v Speaker 1>stay alive. For green greens, the greens were just a

0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:07.200
<v Speaker 1>big sand pit.

0:28:08.800 --> 0:28:11.440
<v Speaker 3>But they were like, you got to play golf dressed

0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:14.120
<v Speaker 3>crusty sand or kind of.

0:28:14.200 --> 0:28:18.200
<v Speaker 1>But you basically just you drew a groove in the

0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:20.560
<v Speaker 1>sand with your putter and then putted the ball down

0:28:20.640 --> 0:28:22.359
<v Speaker 1>the groove and it went the hole. It basically just

0:28:22.400 --> 0:28:25.560
<v Speaker 1>eliminated putting from the sport. It allowed you to have

0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 1>a golf course and play golf, but you couldn't have putting,

0:28:28.600 --> 0:28:30.639
<v Speaker 1>which obviously is a very important part of the sport.

0:28:30.920 --> 0:28:34.800
<v Speaker 1>But it just wasn't realistic to have greens, so they didn't.

0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah again, I was I was amazed by that.

0:28:38.000 --> 0:28:40.239
<v Speaker 3>It was like hearing from a weird culture where they

0:28:40.280 --> 0:28:43.080
<v Speaker 3>drink cat's blood or something.

0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:45.240
<v Speaker 1>At the turn.

0:28:47.880 --> 0:28:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Hey, anybody thirsty, it's hot day.

0:28:49.560 --> 0:28:56.760
<v Speaker 3>Calves blood caves, blood caves blood pinto UFO break?

0:28:56.760 --> 0:28:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you want me to play the full? Pete Weber

0:28:58.400 --> 0:29:00.680
<v Speaker 2>clip is very good. I forgot how goodness this is.

0:29:00.960 --> 0:29:03.480
<v Speaker 1>This is one of the all time legendary bowlers. He

0:29:03.600 --> 0:29:05.880
<v Speaker 1>just bowled a strike or a three hundred or whatever

0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:06.160
<v Speaker 1>he did.

0:29:06.200 --> 0:29:08.920
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, he won the game. Yeah, he became the champion.

0:29:09.080 --> 0:29:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah a strike to claim.

0:29:11.240 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 3>It another time?

0:29:19.000 --> 0:29:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Are you that's right? Who do you think you are

0:29:26.880 --> 0:29:30.600
<v Speaker 2>I think you are? I am? That's right.

0:29:37.160 --> 0:29:39.600
<v Speaker 4>Oh, you can get t shirts that say whoever you

0:29:39.640 --> 0:29:45.520
<v Speaker 4>think you are, I am, you are am. That's one

0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:49.560
<v Speaker 4>of the great, great those things of all time. We'll

0:29:49.560 --> 0:29:52.360
<v Speaker 4>finish strong next Armstrong.

0:29:52.480 --> 0:29:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Hey, here's a guy who drives to Tesla.

0:29:56.240 --> 0:30:00.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm wondering if anything will happen to me. Give my

0:30:00.560 --> 0:30:03.160
<v Speaker 1>car keet or you yell that.

0:30:03.200 --> 0:30:07.920
<v Speaker 3>Pal green energy dreaming, unicorn riding weenie. Oh, I mean

0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:15.720
<v Speaker 3>you right wing fascist, maga loving racist climate week exactly,

0:30:15.880 --> 0:30:18.600
<v Speaker 3>yeah something, so this might be the perfect cap on

0:30:18.640 --> 0:30:22.240
<v Speaker 3>the week. Recent Gallup poll did their usual probing of

0:30:22.280 --> 0:30:24.280
<v Speaker 3>Americans try to figure out what they thought about what,

0:30:24.840 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 3>including their confidence in various institutions great deal, quite a lot,

0:30:29.840 --> 0:30:34.520
<v Speaker 3>some are very little, and number one in America. The

0:30:34.640 --> 0:30:37.960
<v Speaker 3>most trusted valued thing that they asked about, anyway, was

0:30:38.040 --> 0:30:43.400
<v Speaker 3>small business sixty one percent. I don't know how you

0:30:43.560 --> 0:30:47.320
<v Speaker 3>don't have confidence in small business. They live and die

0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:51.239
<v Speaker 3>by their performance. It's the ultimate American thing. You talk

0:30:51.280 --> 0:30:56.080
<v Speaker 3>about a meritocracy, yeah, indeed, Yeah, a salute to use

0:30:56.120 --> 0:30:59.440
<v Speaker 3>small business people the seriously the backbone of the country.

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:03.280
<v Speaker 3>The military is certainly a part of that backbone. Jack

0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:04.880
<v Speaker 3>it's a multifaceted backbone.

0:31:05.000 --> 0:31:07.240
<v Speaker 1>If small businesses are the backbone of the country, what

0:31:07.360 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 1>is talk radio me the spleen spin.

0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:12.680
<v Speaker 2>The femurs of the country.

0:31:12.880 --> 0:31:17.800
<v Speaker 3>All right, sure keeps us being from knees connected to Pelvis's.

0:31:17.880 --> 0:31:21.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, how weird would that be? Anyway?

0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:24.680
<v Speaker 3>Number two twelve points down and barely half forty nine

0:31:24.680 --> 0:31:29.320
<v Speaker 3>percent is the military. Forty nine percent have a great

0:31:29.360 --> 0:31:33.720
<v Speaker 3>deal quite a lot some confidence, a great dealer.

0:31:33.960 --> 0:31:36.400
<v Speaker 1>What does it mean to not have confidence in the military,

0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:37.760
<v Speaker 1>don't have the confidence for them to.

0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Whoop up in a war? Or Yeah, I don't know.

0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:43.880
<v Speaker 3>Actually there are areas in which I don't have confidence

0:31:43.920 --> 0:31:44.600
<v Speaker 3>in the military.

0:31:44.640 --> 0:31:48.240
<v Speaker 2>I think we've gotten kind of fat and lazy.

0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Well I have, I don't My confidence in the Pentagon

0:31:51.000 --> 0:31:53.000
<v Speaker 1>is not that high. My confidence in the military is

0:31:53.080 --> 0:31:53.440
<v Speaker 1>very high.

0:31:53.480 --> 0:31:53.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:31:54.160 --> 0:31:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how other people.

0:31:55.400 --> 0:31:58.479
<v Speaker 3>Look at this, right, Yeah, that's there's there's a lot

0:31:58.520 --> 0:31:59.920
<v Speaker 3>of nuance to that one in particular.

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Or the police is net thirty four positive.

0:32:02.960 --> 0:32:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Good.

0:32:03.920 --> 0:32:07.040
<v Speaker 2>You wouldn't get that idea from the news media.

0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:10.320
<v Speaker 3>The medical system is net six positive.

0:32:11.080 --> 0:32:12.840
<v Speaker 2>It couldn't be more screwed up.

0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:16.280
<v Speaker 1>No, but an individual It's kind of like the way

0:32:16.320 --> 0:32:18.920
<v Speaker 1>we everybody hates Congress, but they like their own congressman.

0:32:18.920 --> 0:32:20.760
<v Speaker 1>They vote for their own congressman over and over again.

0:32:20.840 --> 0:32:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Like the medical system is awful and terrible, and my

0:32:24.720 --> 0:32:28.400
<v Speaker 1>doctor's fantastic and I've had him for years exactly.

0:32:28.520 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:34.480
<v Speaker 3>The following four are all like positive negatives are balanced,

0:32:34.560 --> 0:32:39.960
<v Speaker 3>the same organized labor, banks, higher education boo, and the

0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:44.000
<v Speaker 3>church or organized religion. Then you get into the negatives,

0:32:44.320 --> 0:32:45.760
<v Speaker 3>and I wish we had time for all of it.

0:32:46.160 --> 0:32:54.040
<v Speaker 3>The highest negatives Congress fifty one percent underwater, well earned,

0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:56.640
<v Speaker 3>just ahead of newspapers.

0:32:58.360 --> 0:33:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Hate kids. It's that time with Armstrong and Getty.

0:33:05.040 --> 0:33:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

0:33:07.520 --> 0:33:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Let's get a.

0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:10.280
<v Speaker 3>Final thought from everybody to wrap up the week. There

0:33:10.400 --> 0:33:13.120
<v Speaker 3>is our technical director, Michael Agel. Michael, what's your final thought?

0:33:13.240 --> 0:33:14.920
<v Speaker 3>My wife and I we do have pet names, but

0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:16.960
<v Speaker 3>a lot of times we just call each other by

0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:21.280
<v Speaker 3>our full legal name and social Security number. That's good

0:33:21.320 --> 0:33:24.680
<v Speaker 3>for accuracy. Well, it's any confusion. Katie Greener is themed

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:26.040
<v Speaker 3>to use woman as a final thought.

0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:28.240
<v Speaker 9>Katie, Yeah, you know things are getting serious when the

0:33:28.280 --> 0:33:29.720
<v Speaker 9>first full name comes out.

0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:31.960
<v Speaker 1>When I get a caitlin O boy.

0:33:32.440 --> 0:33:37.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, oh boy. Yeah, that's like a Joseph yeh Jack.

0:33:38.040 --> 0:33:38.800
<v Speaker 3>Final thought for.

0:33:38.800 --> 0:33:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Us trying to figure out what to do with my

0:33:40.280 --> 0:33:42.280
<v Speaker 1>teenage boys on a Friday night. I drove by a

0:33:42.320 --> 0:33:44.040
<v Speaker 1>park yesterday and I was thinking about, Man, those were

0:33:44.080 --> 0:33:45.959
<v Speaker 1>good times when they were young and I could just

0:33:46.080 --> 0:33:49.600
<v Speaker 1>go to a park, any park, stop there, kill a

0:33:49.600 --> 0:33:50.360
<v Speaker 1>couple hours.

0:33:50.440 --> 0:33:51.360
<v Speaker 2>They were thrilled.

0:33:51.880 --> 0:33:54.400
<v Speaker 3>Now it's getting kind of hard to figure out what

0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:58.280
<v Speaker 3>to do. Yeah, yeah, that is the challenge. My final

0:33:58.280 --> 0:34:00.240
<v Speaker 3>thoughts speaking of amusements is I'm going to a minor

0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:02.200
<v Speaker 3>league hockey game tonight. I can't wait because I love

0:34:02.240 --> 0:34:04.440
<v Speaker 3>the sport of hockey. And if the action never flags,
