Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Katie and now he.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Eddy. I'm not happy with President Putin at all.
Speaker 1: But this is something that would have never happened. I
Speaker 1: met with President. This is a war that was never
Speaker 1: going to happen. Send more weapons to Ukraine. We're going
Speaker 1: to send some more weapons. We have to. They have
Speaker 1: to be able to defend themselves. They're getting hit very hard.
Speaker 1: Now that's Donald Trump saying he is very unhappy with
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin and what he is doing, killing so many people.
Speaker 1: We are going to send weapons to Ukraine so they
Speaker 1: can defend themselves.
Speaker 3: And workers did took you this long for him to
Speaker 3: wake up to the obvious, which is that Putin is
Speaker 3: bent on conquest?
Speaker 1: But here we are. Yeah, and I don't know where
Speaker 1: this goes. And then politically, I don't know where this goes.
Speaker 1: Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, popular Republican in
Speaker 1: very maga in recent years, tweeted this out yesterday. I
Speaker 1: think he's trying to push Trump in a certain direction.
Speaker 1: Putin is making it very clear that any truce in
Speaker 1: Ukraine will come only when he is defeated. We talk,
Speaker 1: he kills Ukrainians, we talk some more, he kills more Ukrainians.
Speaker 1: He has openly said he wants to destroy Ukraine and
Speaker 1: it is his war aim. A combined Ukrainian US European
Speaker 1: effort will be needed to defeat him badly enough that
Speaker 1: he wants to cease fire. Until then, he will keep
Speaker 1: lying and keep killing. We don't need a single American
Speaker 1: military person fighting in Ukraine. We do need to provide
Speaker 1: advanced weapons and quantity permission to hit against military targets
Speaker 1: in Russia, and vastly expand sanctions against Russia. Only then
Speaker 1: will a ceasefire be possible. I one percent agree with
Speaker 1: what Newt said there. Trump just talked about defensive weapons,
Speaker 1: not offensive weapons. It's possible he's just not announcing offensive weapons.
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't need to when you're at war.
Speaker 1: Let the other side know what you're doing.
Speaker 3: Well, there's again, there's no real distinction in warfare between
Speaker 3: defensive and offensive weapons. I mean, that's that's an artificial
Speaker 3: you know, bracketing. I think you defend yourself by winning
Speaker 3: by pushing your backward.
Speaker 1: I see what you mean, the best defense is a
Speaker 1: good offense or whatever. Yeah, but you know, it was
Speaker 1: until recently that anybody allowed them to shoot, however, many
Speaker 1: miles across the border. Then that guy in Germany said, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's all all on now they can shoot anywhere they
Speaker 1: want in Russia, and the US is on board too,
Speaker 1: And Trump was asked and said sure. So that's where
Speaker 1: we are, an ugly, ugly situation. So just wanted to
Speaker 1: get that on because I thought that was to me
Speaker 1: a welcome reversal of where Trump is dealing with all this.
Speaker 1: Of course, you've got your Secretary of State, who is
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio. Of course, how do you know if you're
Speaker 1: talking to Marco Rubio? It may be a I. A
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio impost is using AI voice to call high
Speaker 1: level officials listen to this. So this person contacted foreign ministers,
Speaker 1: a US governor, and a member of Congress, sending them
Speaker 1: voice and text messages that mimic Rubio's voice and writing
Speaker 1: style using artificial intelligence powered software. According to senior US
Speaker 1: officials in the State Department, US authorities do not know
Speaker 1: who's behind the string of impersonation attempts, but they believe
Speaker 1: the culprit was probably attempting to manipulate powerful government officials
Speaker 1: with the goal of gaining access to information or accounts.
Speaker 1: Is what they're trying to do, as opposed to change policy.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know enough about that. What you know,
Speaker 1: secret lines they've got between Marco Rubio and various foreign
Speaker 1: ministers or whatever?
Speaker 3: What sort of accounts, mister Governor, this is Marco Rubio,
Speaker 3: the Secretary of State. Can I have your pin number?
Speaker 3: I'm here in d C and I forgot my wallet,
Speaker 3: so I just need a few bugs.
Speaker 1: I like, Bay, you're right back.
Speaker 2: I mean, what.
Speaker 1: Accounts do I have that I would give them? Marco Rubio?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't know about that, but I mean
Speaker 1: if if if you let Marco Rubio into various I'm
Speaker 1: about to read a little of that messaging systems you
Speaker 1: could get chats. Yeah, using both text messaging and the
Speaker 1: encrypted messaging message in app signal, which we all learned
Speaker 1: about during that scandal. The impostor contacted at least five
Speaker 1: non department individuals, including three foreign ministers. Governor Member of
Speaker 1: Congress said the cable. The impersonation campaign began mid June,
Speaker 1: so this has been going on for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: The actor left voicemails on signal or at least two
Speaker 1: targeted individuals, and in one instance send a text message
Speaker 1: inviting the individual to communicate on signal and then you
Speaker 1: guess you'd have a way to get in at that point, well, or.
Speaker 3: You would send out the invite in essence, they would
Speaker 3: join us a chat you've established, and then you could
Speaker 3: pump them for information.
Speaker 1: This is the first of endless examples of this happening. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the new world we are entering into. I
Speaker 1: don't know how in the hell I had to the
Speaker 1: other day. I think one of those scams where you
Speaker 1: get a phone call and all they want from you
Speaker 1: is to talk as much as possible, right to be
Speaker 1: able to get your voice, because it was because the
Speaker 1: warnings we've set on the air that they claim is
Speaker 1: out there is when you get a call from a
Speaker 1: no number and there's just silence, don't start talking because
Speaker 1: they're just trying to record your voice so they can
Speaker 1: have your AI voice so that they can then you know,
Speaker 1: contact my parents, for instance, and say, hey, it's Jack,
Speaker 1: I'm in a Mexican jail. I need five hundred bucks
Speaker 1: or something, and my dad's dad. I'd say again, exactly,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave you there this time, maybe you'll learn.
Speaker 1: But I had one the other day where UH called
Speaker 1: and then nothing and I said, uh, hello, and then
Speaker 1: they they kept saying in like you could almost understand them,
Speaker 1: but not quite to make me say what are you
Speaker 1: talking about? What is this? And they'd say a little something,
Speaker 1: and then I would talk more, not tho. I think
Speaker 1: you're just fishing for as much my voice as you
Speaker 1: can get. Idiot says what. Yeah, wait a second, you
Speaker 1: just made me say what That makes me an idiot? Curses.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we are going to have to develop systems, whether
Speaker 3: you know, formal or informal, to deal with this because,
Speaker 3: like you say, it's gonna be everywhere all the time,
Speaker 3: and the grandparents rip it off brand that's already started.
Speaker 3: You know, you call with your grandparents, your grandkid's voice
Speaker 3: saying I got arrested, Grandma, I just need two hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: Well you don't even have to be a grandparent. I mean,
Speaker 1: what if I get a you know, whether it's pranks
Speaker 1: or trying to get money or whatever, they're trying to accomplish.
Speaker 1: I get a I get a call from sam my
Speaker 1: high school dad. I'm hurt dad, you know, and then
Speaker 1: it just hangs up. What the hell?
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I don't gonna have to You're gonna have
Speaker 3: to have a code word like to start every conversation
Speaker 3: so you know it's you. It's like having a safe
Speaker 3: word in the S and M Dungeons that Michael likes
Speaker 3: to frequent. Sorry, you asked me not to mention that.
Speaker 1: It's just like that. It's like having a safe word
Speaker 1: in the S and M dungeons. Yes again, dungeon asked
Speaker 1: me to keep that to myself. You've been talking about
Speaker 1: that home remodel, so getting a dungeon or a new
Speaker 1: dungeon put in, or a bigger dungeon, or a better
Speaker 1: lit dungeon, or maybe dungeonrymodel. Maybe you want a darker
Speaker 1: dungeon with better ventilation. I don't know. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: you live with your dungeon for a while and you realize.
Speaker 3: You know what I really wish it had, and you
Speaker 3: just you know, you consult the internet and you know
Speaker 3: you're either right.
Speaker 1: If I had a wet bar in the corner or
Speaker 1: someplace where calling get thirsty being flogged. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: it is those of you who get enjoyment out of
Speaker 1: being hit with things? What is that? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know actually on that topic, it was. It
Speaker 1: was a bittersweet morning today.
Speaker 3: I had my last piece of peanut butter toast in
Speaker 3: our kitchen before it is ripped out. We're gonna empty
Speaker 3: it out today. It's going to be ripped out tomorrow morning.
Speaker 3: And and because apparently it needed to be redone at
Speaker 3: enormous expense and trouble because there was something wrong with
Speaker 3: it according.
Speaker 1: To my wife. So anyway, happy to be doing that.
Speaker 1: I'm the last persona that can understand what that means.
Speaker 1: And I realized I'm definitely an out liar on that,
Speaker 1: but I just yeah, So did you think about all
Speaker 1: the fantastic take unnecessary calories you had taken in in
Speaker 1: that kitchen?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, yeah, I remember that license pie on that counter.
Speaker 1: Especially, I had more pilot that was already full, but
Speaker 1: I thought why not.
Speaker 3: We are delighted to have my twenty five year old
Speaker 3: daughter living with us this summer, as she has an
Speaker 3: internship with a law firm nearby. But living with a
Speaker 3: twenty five year old and their metabolism and they're lust
Speaker 3: for various treats.
Speaker 1: It's bad. My kids have started policing me. They're better
Speaker 1: than me, and I've had to find other things to
Speaker 1: do because they kind of a go to was, Hey,
Speaker 1: let's go get up, you know, a milkshake or stop
Speaker 1: buying or something just you know, kind of a I
Speaker 1: don't know something to do with the kids because I
Speaker 1: used to love it when they're a little little lift
Speaker 1: And now if I say it's they're both no way,
Speaker 1: I'm not. You can have one, but I'm not having one. Wow.
Speaker 1: They're both super into watching their what they eat. Wow.
Speaker 1: Good for that. I'm not exactly sure why I haven't
Speaker 1: pushed them on that really, but well, I know what
Speaker 1: it is. They discovered the wonders of the feminine touch.
Speaker 3: Oh, actually, it's pretty wonderful my experience.
Speaker 1: Oh, that reminds me. I wanted to talk about the
Speaker 1: obsession with gut health. Okay, I like that. That's been
Speaker 1: one of these services that's super popular.
Speaker 3: Plus this congressman who is becoming rapidly becoming one of
Speaker 3: my faves grilling a woke gal in a house hearing
Speaker 3: the other day, Solid Gold the wonders of the feminine touch.
Speaker 1: That was an odd thing for me to say. I
Speaker 1: don't know why, it's an interesting phrase. Okay, we got
Speaker 1: more comments there.
Speaker 3: Oh, this heavy rock rift reminds me of oh, we
Speaker 3: don't have time for that to weah, maybe not. Jack
Speaker 3: sent me along string of the Big Tribute to Ozzy
Speaker 3: Osbourne and Black Sabbath concert the other day and it
Speaker 3: was pretty impressive. Anyway, more on that to come first.
Speaker 3: This though Representative Brandon Gill of Texas, who's impressed me
Speaker 3: several times. He is an emerging star in taking a
Speaker 3: woke witness in a house hearing and and you know,
Speaker 3: displaying them for what they are. In this case, it
Speaker 3: was the House Oversight DOGE Subcommittee, which was the hearing.
Speaker 3: Title was locking in DOGE cuts, ending waste, fraud and
Speaker 3: abuse for Good and one of the witnesses was Emily DeVito,
Speaker 3: Senior advisor for economic policy at Groundwork Collaborative, who testified
Speaker 3: on behalf of Democrats about how harmful reductions in federal
Speaker 3: spending are for the American people.
Speaker 1: And Gil had some questions for her. We'll start with
Speaker 1: the clip number one, Michael.
Speaker 4: How about another one? How about the Conference Gender equity
Speaker 4: in the mathematical study of commutative algebra. You think that
Speaker 4: that's a valid form of government spending.
Speaker 5: I think mathematical research of all types is deserving of government.
Speaker 4: What about studying and this is directly from the National
Speaker 4: Science Foundation's website, Women and non binary mathematicians?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 5: Again, I think all kinds of government investment should be
Speaker 5: dedicated toward mathematic.
Speaker 2: All kinds of government investment. You don't.
Speaker 4: You don't have any kind of limit on what we're
Speaker 4: spending our money on just everything?
Speaker 2: Is that your testimony?
Speaker 5: I am talking about Doge you brought.
Speaker 2: Up, so am I this is a grant that Doese cut.
Speaker 5: I am not familiar with this particular grant, but I
Speaker 5: think government investment in mathematical Biopatrick.
Speaker 1: Wow, Yeah, so I recognize it. I didn't recognize his name,
Speaker 1: but his voice from the previous times we've done it.
Speaker 1: But that's awesome.
Speaker 2: All right, Let's roll on, Michael, Let's do another one.
Speaker 4: This one is called hashtag Transcendent Health, adapting an lg
Speaker 4: B plus inclusive team pregnancy prevention program for transgender boys.
Speaker 2: I can't even say this without laughing.
Speaker 4: Do you think that that is a useful form of
Speaker 4: our tax spend.
Speaker 5: I am not familiar with that grant, but I think
Speaker 5: bench research, government investment in scientific.
Speaker 4: And farming pregnancy for transgender boys. Do you think that
Speaker 4: that is a useful spend of our tax dollars.
Speaker 5: I think government investment in all kinds of scientific research
Speaker 5: is of the utmost important.
Speaker 4: Including pregnancy prevention for transgender boys.
Speaker 1: Okay, these these people, in their lack of willingness to
Speaker 1: budge at all on something that's so ridiculous, And there
Speaker 1: wouldn't be one percent of America that wants to fund that.
Speaker 1: Maybe one, but it wouldn't be more than five.
Speaker 3: Right, the absurdity of the idea of pregnancy prevention for
Speaker 3: quote unquote transgender boys.
Speaker 1: If that human can get pregnant, that ain't no boy.
Speaker 1: And she got to take it beyond that though, And
Speaker 1: it's the federal government's role, the taxpayer's job, to fund
Speaker 1: research about it. Not your county, not your school, not
Speaker 1: your state. No, it's not the university on its own
Speaker 1: right around the country, plenty of university woke universities. Go
Speaker 1: ahead and studied all you want, But I put my
Speaker 1: tax money into it. And there's more to this.
Speaker 3: We're gonna dig up more from the hearing for maybe
Speaker 3: tomorrow's show. But she gil asked her, what is a
Speaker 3: birthing person? That is outside my expertise, she said, and
Speaker 3: he says, is a birthing person a woman?
Speaker 1: Is that another word for a female?
Speaker 3: Just like Catangie Brown Jackson And one of the most
Speaker 3: absurd and humiliating and ridiculous moments in Supreme Court history
Speaker 3: in her confirmation hearing saying I'm not a biologist.
Speaker 1: I don't know that. And by the way, for any
Speaker 1: of you who say, well, that's a tiny amount of money,
Speaker 1: I want you to hit hit by a car today.
Speaker 1: Oh that's what I want. You're a monster. Because it's
Speaker 1: not just the money. It's the pushing back on the
Speaker 1: government spending money on well things they shouldn't spend money
Speaker 1: on at all, because it's not the federal government's role
Speaker 1: not to mention the nonsense of the wokeness that somebody
Speaker 1: slipped in there. When did that stuff end up in
Speaker 1: the budget? Good lord? Well, when you have whatever passed
Speaker 1: this past Thursday or Friday, the big beautiful bill, I
Speaker 1: guarantee you there's all kinds of stuff in there. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be woke stuff, and it'll be different stuff that's
Speaker 1: ridiculous that somebody slipped in because it's so giant.
Speaker 3: Well, and some of it is borderline woke, because you've
Speaker 3: got these Republicans in swing districts who say, hey, I
Speaker 3: got to throw a bone to the left in my
Speaker 3: district or you know, I could lose this election, and
Speaker 3: you know, the Republican Party for you know, all due
Speaker 3: contempt for the lack of principle, there is something to
Speaker 3: be said for, hey, we've got to keep a majority
Speaker 3: to keep doing the good stuff. So if a Representative
Speaker 3: Jones has got to keep a phony effing green energy
Speaker 3: giveaway going, we better give it to them.
Speaker 1: I wish somebody would do a documentary where they follow
Speaker 1: all these things to their conclusion. I have a feeling
Speaker 1: I know what the end result would be. But so
Speaker 1: even the grant that went to the study of non
Speaker 1: binary mathematicians or whatever, I'd like to see who got
Speaker 1: that money, how they spent it, and what the results were.
Speaker 1: I mean, God, did it do anything other than like
Speaker 1: buy new furniture for somebody's office and did anybody pay
Speaker 1: any attention at all?
Speaker 3: Subtitle of that report was pat does calculus.
Speaker 1: Very informative. That's hilarious. That's what that is. If you
Speaker 1: missed a segment or an hour. Get the podcast. Seriously,
Speaker 1: Is anybody paying any attention to where that particular chunk
Speaker 1: of money went and what it did?
Speaker 3: No, No, they aren't. The handing out of the money
Speaker 3: is the point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, arm Strong and Getty.
Speaker 3: We get a lot of vote thrown at us by
Speaker 3: Putin for you one another truth, very nice all the time,
Speaker 3: but it turns out to be meaningless.
Speaker 6: Do you want to say that.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I'm looking to the Senator is passing and passed
Speaker 1: a very very tough sanctions. But yeah, I'm looking at it.
Speaker 1: It's an optional bill. It's totally at my option.
Speaker 6: They passed it totally at my option, and to terminate
Speaker 6: totally at my option.
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at it very strongly. So there's Trump
Speaker 1: one doing another, yet another press conference where he answers questions.
Speaker 1: He gets no credit for the fact that he answers
Speaker 1: like everybody's questions every day. But that's the strongest anti
Speaker 1: Putin statement he's ever made. Yes, you get a lot
Speaker 1: of bullets from Putiny, says all kinds of things. But
Speaker 1: it's all bulllest so you know, welcome to understanding that.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I had to hope that it would have
Speaker 3: happened earlier. Well it's obvious. But anyway, I don't think he's,
Speaker 3: you know, a simpleton that didn't understand that. I just
Speaker 3: thought he thought that he could convince Putin to go
Speaker 3: a different direction. But yeah, I don't think Trump understands
Speaker 3: ideological fervor. He doesn't understand because he's you know, transactional
Speaker 3: or practical, if you prefer.
Speaker 1: To a fault.
Speaker 3: He doesn't get Muslim you know, fundamentalism. He doesn't get
Speaker 3: Putin's dreams of restoring the grandeur of the Russian Empire
Speaker 3: or hiesiin Pings for that matter.
Speaker 1: I feel like I've known business people that are kind
Speaker 1: of like that. They just don't don't understand it, Like,
Speaker 1: why would you do that that doesn't make you more
Speaker 1: money on anything? So that's pretty interesting. We do have
Speaker 1: a celebrity death to mention. Polly Walnuts from The Sopranos
Speaker 1: has died at the age of old. I don't know
Speaker 1: how old he was, with seventy nine, okay, ad dementia.
Speaker 1: Did he ever find the Russian in the woods is
Speaker 1: the question? Or did Jell we hear from the great
Speaker 1: Tony Currico what's his name?
Speaker 7: Yes, sure, it's all laughing. He had a lot of
Speaker 7: great lines in the sopranos.
Speaker 3: Yes he did, and we'll work to get those for
Speaker 3: tomorrow's show.
Speaker 1: Only Walnuts has passed. Anyway.
Speaker 3: He was an actor, so it was a great role,
Speaker 3: fabulous role. I thought this was interesting. Andrea Peterson wrote
Speaker 3: this for the Wall Street Journal about she's got on
Speaker 3: this program and I'm not even aware of the stuff
Speaker 3: until I read about it. But everybody's obsession with obsession
Speaker 3: with gut health, I.
Speaker 1: Was kind of familiar with.
Speaker 3: I'm actually interested in the science behind it, the idea
Speaker 3: that we human beings are not an organism, We're actually
Speaker 3: an ecosystem with millions of organisms living within us. It's
Speaker 3: actually kind of interesting and aspiring after you get past
Speaker 3: like an initial bit of ooginess. But everybody wants to
Speaker 3: have healthy intestinal systems, and that includes having the gut
Speaker 3: biome be in good shape. But so Andrew Peterson's writing
Speaker 3: about this, and I wasn't familiar with some of this stuff.
Speaker 1: They have these.
Speaker 3: Companies that you do all sorts of testing and logging
Speaker 3: and reporting of what you're eating, and then it gives
Speaker 3: you feedback on what you ought to be eating and how.
Speaker 3: She writes she'd failed the test. She got a rating
Speaker 3: of poor, and she was really disappointed on that. The
Speaker 3: whole week crackers I thought were healthy, Maybe not so
Speaker 3: much for me, A breakfast of fruit and all up
Speaker 3: pretty middling. Zoey the service I used? All right, wait
Speaker 3: a minute, I got to stop there.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: I find it so annoying that this gut health testing
Speaker 3: counseling service just gives itself a friendly, approachable girl's name, Zoe.
Speaker 1: What the F do you do? Where's Zoe? Seriously?
Speaker 3: If you're so weak minded that make that makes you
Speaker 3: more likely to give them your hard earned money, well
Speaker 3: you deserve to be parted from it.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I find that so annoying, but I do. Why Zoey?
Speaker 3: Why not Caitlin or Jenna or whatever else? Did it
Speaker 3: just test better?
Speaker 1: Anyway? Stupid things that set you off For Alarious.
Speaker 3: It's among a growing number of companies that offer medical
Speaker 3: tests to people and provide them diet recommendations based on
Speaker 3: the results. Many scientists believe diet guidance tailored to an
Speaker 3: individual's biology will soon become Wow.
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's bs or if that's true. Do
Speaker 1: we we're humans? Do we all need the same diet
Speaker 1: or do we all have an individual diet we should eat.
Speaker 3: There's a big national Institutes of Health study testing that
Speaker 3: approach right now, the the NIH. Do you remember the NIH?
Speaker 3: They had a standing six feet apart and wouldn't let
Speaker 3: the kids play in playgrounds. That doesn't mean they're necessarily
Speaker 3: wrong on this stuff, let's see. So anyway, she goes
Speaker 3: into how she was perplexed and bummed out at her
Speaker 3: her test.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: Dejected. I avoided looking at the Zoe app for months.
Speaker 3: My editors still wanted a story, though, so I begrudgingly returned.
Speaker 1: Weird person, this is your job, for one thing. Secondly,
Speaker 1: you're not kind of interested in what was always going
Speaker 1: to tell you to eat.
Speaker 3: So, she says, I wasn't always diligent about logging my
Speaker 3: meals in the app, but it identified some weak spots
Speaker 3: in my diet. It also nudged me toward healthier choices. Still,
Speaker 3: the relentless task of tracking what I ate could be
Speaker 3: a joyless time suck here's how it went. And here's
Speaker 3: the part that I found really interesting. This is the
Speaker 3: reality of it.
Speaker 1: Okay an inprinciple, like, is this available to me today
Speaker 1: if I on my phone and I could start typing
Speaker 1: in everything I eat.
Speaker 3: Well, it's a lot more than an app, as you're
Speaker 3: about to find out, and there are quite a few
Speaker 3: of them that are competitive. But a big yellow box
Speaker 3: arrived on my doorstep containing an intimidating amount of paraphernalia.
Speaker 3: I unpacked a few paces of medical equipment for testing day.
Speaker 3: To prepare, I had to put together and to fix
Speaker 3: the continuous glucose monitor or CGM to the back of
Speaker 3: my arm. I could barely feel the tiny needle that
Speaker 3: would stay lodged in my body for the next two weeks.
Speaker 3: I answered a ton of questions in the app about
Speaker 3: my health history and usual diet. After fasting overnight, I
Speaker 3: ate the provided breakfast two pancake sized white chocolate cookies
Speaker 3: so sweet they made my teethache. The cookies at a
Speaker 3: generous amount fat and added sugar. The point is to
Speaker 3: stress the system, According to Belly's chief scientists, stress the system.
Speaker 3: Lunch was two more cookies, bright blue ones, the color
Speaker 3: made it possible to record your gut transit time or
Speaker 3: how long it takes for food to travel through the
Speaker 3: digestive system. That means you're on poop watch for the
Speaker 3: and when I uh so to speak yes when your
Speaker 3: poop turns blue. For the microbiome test, I had to
Speaker 3: collect a stool sample. Not pleasant, not even An even
Speaker 3: weirder test was the DIY blood draw, which involved a
Speaker 3: button like gadget that sliced a horizontal cut on my
Speaker 3: open upper arm.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I returned my samples to Zoe via ups.
Speaker 3: I'm sure delighted to be carrying people's poop around America.
Speaker 1: So I got to take a stool sample and then
Speaker 1: have something jabbing me in the arm with a needle
Speaker 1: to be told whether or not my gut biome is
Speaker 1: up to snuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're actually two separate. There was the jabbing and
Speaker 3: then the slashing. But for two weeks I logged everything
Speaker 3: I ate at least every eight hours. I scanned my
Speaker 3: continuous glucose monitor with my iPhone to record my blood
Speaker 3: sugar levels. To get the CJAM test kit, I had
Speaker 3: to opt into being part of Zoe's ongoing research. The
Speaker 3: test kit cost me two hundred and ninety four dollars
Speaker 3: and their acquired membership I chose is twenty five bucks
Speaker 3: a month. I'd say that's a bargain. I waited, that's
Speaker 3: a bargain for getting jammed in the arm of a needle.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, CGM readings have long been essential for people with
Speaker 3: diabetes with researchers then on how useful the readings are
Speaker 3: for people like me who don't have it, she said,
Speaker 3: blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just so, we just discovered this whole we're
Speaker 1: a bio organism gut hell thing fairly recently, at least
Speaker 1: I don't remember hearing about it until ten years ago
Speaker 1: or whatever. So everybody that lived before us, they were
Speaker 1: all doing it wrong, not knowing their gut biome and
Speaker 1: just eating whatever they ate back when people were thin,
Speaker 1: by the way, back when everybody was thinner.
Speaker 3: But that was also back when people were eating the
Speaker 3: obvious lean meats and fruit and vegetables and basic grains,
Speaker 3: unrefined food, unfactory processed stuff, stuff we'd been evolved to
Speaker 3: eat from millions of years. Yeah, And when she logged
Speaker 3: in what she ate, she got a food score and
Speaker 3: a meal score. Plain unsalted almonds snared a perfect one hundred,
Speaker 3: black beans ninety one, bacon got a nine, and the
Speaker 3: cupcake I grabbed at a work meeting a lowly nineteen.
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, a cupcake's better than bacon?
Speaker 1: Well, is the higher number better? Yes? So yeah, so
Speaker 1: bacon got a nine. Yes, huh.
Speaker 3: Plain unsalted almonds mmmmm mmmm scored a perfect one hundred.
Speaker 1: Okay, I eat a lot of nuts at this point
Speaker 1: in my life, and they really been working for me
Speaker 1: and keeping my weight off.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a big fan. Actually that's a appetite suppressor
Speaker 1: eating nuts for Summerson, Yeah, yeah, I don't you know,
Speaker 1: she said.
Speaker 3: The bottom line was and she's kind of enthusiastic about
Speaker 3: chasing scores, so she was kind of into this, but
Speaker 3: it did guide her toward more simple, basic food.
Speaker 1: I think if you just wrote down, logged in what
Speaker 1: you eat every day and had no program and know nothing,
Speaker 1: it would be helpful because you looked at the end
Speaker 1: of the day and thought, wow, eh. I mean, if
Speaker 1: you're honest and left today. I had a donut at work,
Speaker 1: and then at lunch I had a you know whatever,
Speaker 1: and then in the afternoon I shouldn't be doing that. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're probably right.
Speaker 3: I don't feel like getting jabbed and slashed and paying
Speaker 3: three hundred bucks and twenty five bucks a month.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like collecting my dookies. Yes, uh, katy
Speaker 1: glad to follow such a phet speaking of speaking of
Speaker 1: nuts guys, Yes, just to.
Speaker 8: Slide up from earlier, not any less sad, But Polly
Speaker 8: Walnuts actually passed away three years ago today.
Speaker 1: Well, we got the basic right, So why is that?
Speaker 1: What is going on here? Oh? That's that's who did
Speaker 1: we kill off a couple a couple of months ago.
Speaker 1: We killed off the wrong person, like we made the
Speaker 1: completely wrong woman. We talked about her for a long time. Oh,
Speaker 1: it is the person Gloria Gaynor I will survive, who's
Speaker 1: still alive in well, as far as I know, we
Speaker 1: had a different gainer. She's dead. Next we are the
Speaker 1: wrong people to go to for celebrity deads Oh, that's hilarious. Well,
Speaker 1: as we all celebrate the three year anniversary of the
Speaker 1: death of an actor you good name, My pain is
Speaker 1: starting to fade. You can't played a month at touch
Speaker 1: of us laughing on his three year annivers The traditional
Speaker 1: three year anniversary.
Speaker 3: Wow, oh that is we need to do better, we
Speaker 3: need to be better well.
Speaker 1: And it just shows you how meaningful celebrity deaths are
Speaker 1: because we probably made a d lot of it when
Speaker 1: he died the first time. Right when we played it,
Speaker 1: I thought, wait a minute, to well, well, we'll hit
Speaker 1: you with this again in four years. I hope you're
Speaker 1: still listening. We'll finish strong next strong. Heyey, do you
Speaker 1: live in New York City? I need to move your
Speaker 1: car for street sweeping. The car sitter. It brings it out,
Speaker 1: these fires, and I'm putting them on all the cars.
Speaker 1: I'll set your car for a fraction of the price
Speaker 1: of a parking ticket and I'll move it, and I'm insured.
Speaker 1: So that is a woman who's come up with the
Speaker 1: idea of being a car sitter. I don't know if
Speaker 1: she invented it. I'd never heard of it before. It
Speaker 1: seems like a pretty good idea. I don't know how
Speaker 1: hard they'd be to get hold of, and I wouldn't
Speaker 1: use one all the time, but man, I can think
Speaker 1: of many times, being in San Francisco, a lot of
Speaker 1: paid to have a car sitter to avoid the pain
Speaker 1: in the ass of having to move your car or
Speaker 1: find a spot again, or whatever it is. You know,
Speaker 1: I was going to mock this gal way to aim high.
Speaker 3: Sweetheart, you're now a car sitter, But she's a twenty
Speaker 3: nine year old transplant from Seattle. She charges her New
Speaker 3: York City neighbors, who are mostly locals around her age,
Speaker 3: up to fifty dollars for a ninety minute car sitting
Speaker 3: session during so called alternate parking hours that designated dates
Speaker 3: and times when drivers must move their vehicles from one
Speaker 3: side of the street to the other for cleaning.
Speaker 1: Remember, this is what our old newsman, Marshall Phillips ended
Speaker 1: up in County La County jail for, is that he
Speaker 1: lived in a place where you had to move your
Speaker 1: car like every hour or something. He kept getting so
Speaker 1: many parking tickets that he eventually got thrown in the
Speaker 1: La County jail with the.
Speaker 3: Murderers and gang bangers and god knows who else. Yeah,
Speaker 3: residents who failed to comply with the city rules risk
Speaker 3: were receiving an initial sixty five dollars fee or ultimately
Speaker 3: getting toll a toad.
Speaker 1: But that's just moving your car around from a parking spot.
Speaker 1: But like if you could go into a major melt
Speaker 1: palm downtown where you've got to do some shopping or something,
Speaker 1: and like just pull up and a guy gets in
Speaker 1: my car and he drives around for the next forty
Speaker 1: five minutes or parks when he can or whatever. And
Speaker 1: then when I'm done, I come back out and get
Speaker 1: in my car in the same spot. I'd pay for that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you come back, you got no car? Come on, letst
Speaker 1: You need somebody with some sort of a credit check verification,
Speaker 1: sort of five star something. Yeah, some sort of bonded
Speaker 1: car sitter. I had two the last two lift drivers
Speaker 1: I had in New York after having a really good
Speaker 1: string of drivers mostly on my vacation, although many that
Speaker 1: didn't speak a word of English, not a word, which
Speaker 1: makes it difficult to travel. Am I supposed to not
Speaker 1: downgrade somebody for the fact that I couldn't talk to
Speaker 1: them at all and say like, hey, how about you
Speaker 1: drop us off here? I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do this and I'll walk to my what you can't
Speaker 1: have a conversation with them at all? Shouldn't that be
Speaker 1: four stars or something? Damn short? Anyway, I had two
Speaker 1: smelly guys. The last two I had smelled horrible. Ugh,
Speaker 1: did not dig that a.
Speaker 8: Bit, Jackie Clark kiss time stop.
Speaker 1: Jack and Joe got go.
Speaker 4: And if they don't give Candy'll be back tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 3: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Speaker 3: To wrap things up for the day. There is our
Speaker 3: technical director, Michael Angelo, to lead the way. Michael, final talk.
Speaker 6: Gotta be a tough day for me. I just found
Speaker 6: out Prince died. Well, I have terrible, terrible news about
Speaker 6: Caesar Romero. You might want to sit down, Katie Esteemed Newswoman.
Speaker 8: As a final thought, Katie, I will never forget the
Speaker 8: day that I was at the radio station in San
Speaker 8: Francisco and I looked down and my car had been towed. Uh,
Speaker 8: And I had to finish my shift, knowing I'd no
Speaker 8: idea where the vehicle went.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and dealing with getting it back I've done
Speaker 1: it before is a pain in the ass inexpensive.
Speaker 3: Back in the day, at least in San Francisco completely
Speaker 3: mobbed up.
Speaker 1: Jackie final thought for us, The most underappreciated story of
Speaker 1: the day, I think is somebody using Marco Rubio's AI
Speaker 1: voice to call governors and leaders of other countries or whatever.
Speaker 1: I think this is going to become a giant problem. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Final thought is the end of the car Sitter Lady story.
Speaker 3: She actually saw the chaos when one of the street
Speaker 3: sweepers was going down the block and she posted a
Speaker 3: video featuring flyers reading kneed your car moved the car
Speaker 3: sitter along with her contact info. For some reason, it
Speaker 3: went viral and got six hundred thousand views.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: And she says, I basically had to build the brand
Speaker 3: in a day.
Speaker 1: Cool. I like innovation.
Speaker 3: I'm making as much money as an OnlyFans model, yes,
