Speaker 2: If you want something.

6
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 3: To worry about, like you know you're headed into the

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 3: weekend and you think you know what? Things are too

8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 3: lasted in my life, I'm so carefree exactly, this little

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 3: India Pakistan dust up could turn into something.

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: I'm telling you. I nominated it earlier as the story

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 2: everyone's ignoring that could turn into the story you can't

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 2: ignore within a few weeks. Yeah, so who knows? So

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 2: interesting aside before we get to clips of the week.

14
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: This week especially, I found myself kind of like jittery

15
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: and anxious during the show, like I'm over caffeinated and

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: going to night change. Well kind of am. I was

17
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,919
Speaker 2: just reading about it. First of all, the AI search

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: results did you get? Are so much better than your

19
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: standard Google.

20
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: You're all my loll very handy.

21
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: So I was. I was searching on something essentially metabolizing caffeine,

22
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: coffee aging, blah blah blah, and in the past I'd

23
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: had to search through like four and a half pages

24
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: of coffee ads and old folks homes, and then coffee

25
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 2: makers and cots.

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 3: Guy on Reddit, who's got a favorite latte?

27
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, exactly. But this came up quite beautifully and

28
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: it said, yes, people age their bodies tend to process

29
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 2: caffeine more slowly. This can lead to longer lasting effects

30
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: of caffeine, potentially causing increased alertness, jitterus, sleep disturbances, and

31
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: other unpleasant symptoms. So I have a feeling that's it.

32
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: I know I don't metabolize the booze like I used to,

33
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: so I've had to cut back on that.

34
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 3: So I had with caffeine, and if you remember, it

35
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: was quite a few years ago. Geez, how long ago?

36
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 3: But I just like, it just hit me way harder

37
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 3: and so I had to cut way, way way back.

38
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 3: And then it went away, really yeah, and then went

39
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: away and I went back to normal. And then while

40
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: I was doing chemotherapy for whatever reason, I didn't drink

41
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 3: caffeine for nine months when I had cancer, and I thought,

42
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 3: I mean, never needed again. I didn't have any desire

43
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 3: for it. It wasn't like I didn't want to drink it.

44
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: It just completely lost all desire for caffeine. And how did.

45
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: Gloria back in. Some guy on the playground, a kid, kid,

46
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: you want some Colombian first time?

47
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 3: I was the slightest bit tired. I thought, you know,

48
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 3: it'd be a little pick me up. I started just

49
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: like I.

50
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: Wonder if my old friend Joe, not that one, that one,

51
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 2: would be willing to make a reappearance in my life.

52
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: You know, we see that I was tying off my

53
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 3: arm straight into the rains.

54
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,160

Speaker 2: burrito or something. It's a chain link burrito with a

123
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: censor on the end to make the meat much too

124

Speaker 2: friends what do you think is behind this? But they

137
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: would say, well, rising housing prices. Yes, made peop desperate

138
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: and they're looting it back because of systemic racism or something. No,

139
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,559

Speaker 2: he never went. He didn't play at all. He didn't

160
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 2: go to that school at all.

161
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 3: Right, he's well, he's the he's the person that needs

162
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 3: to lie because you get a thrill out of it.

163
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 3: He's got some sort of weird addiction about lying. I mean,

164
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 3: because he liked about all kinds of things that weren't important.

165
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 3: You didn't need to be on the volleyball team to

166
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: move forward in your life. He just liked lying.

167
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: More than seven years in prison for wire fraud, now

168
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 2: gravated identity theft, and a case that resulted in his

169
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 2: expulsion from Congress. Yeah, he was in Congress for a

170
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: year in which he was exposed, in prosecutor's words, as

171
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: a pathological liar and fraudster.

172
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 3: He is that seven years is a long time.

173
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 2: Wait, and he flipped a Democratic seat in Long Island.

174
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

175
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: Oh, that reminds me. You got more on George Santos.

176
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: Um No, it's a federal charge though, so he will

177
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 2: probably do that time, you know, will it be? He

178
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: almost feels bad for the guy because he's got a

179
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 2: screw loose.

180
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, he's a nut.

181
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 2: He's a thief and a fraudster. He's one hundred percent

182
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 2: of that. And we just got done talking about how

183
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: you gave away civilization? What do you expect? So you

184
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: got to punish a guy like this, but he sees

185
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 2: a kook.

186
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 3: Will he be at one of those prisons where you

187
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 3: like play tennis and kind of live in a dorm

188
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 3: like you're at a community college.

189
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, he'll be in a club fed.

190
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: God, where do I see that?

191
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: One of those season a dowey, little gay, fat floudster.

192
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: When this job is over, I'm going to figure out

193
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 3: what crimes you commit to end up in a prison

194
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 3: like that. They provide your food, your betting, You get.

195
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 2: To lay around and read, read, got a.

196
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 3: Library where I don't want you.

197
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 2: Got to work in the yard a few hours a day,

198
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 2: rake and leaves. Please, let's get started. It's it's soothing.

199
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 3: I don't want to go to some sort of Shawshank

200
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: type prisons. I had never seen Shawshank Redemption until this

201
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 3: past weekend.

202
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,239
Speaker 2: Somehow, would you think.

203
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: One of the great movies and well referenced movies of

204
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 3: all time. I had done what you were doing with Gladiator.

205
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: I had just kind of picked up on the references

206
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 3: and gone with them over the years because I never

207
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 3: actually saw the movie. And oh my god, were prisons

208
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: ever that bad in the United States of America?

209
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: Oh?

210
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was brutal. That was the ability of

211
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 2: an arbitrary guard or warden.

212
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 3: To abuse in mates. Absolutely, to beat you to death

213
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 3: because you were complaining. Sure, they're resisting arrest. Wow, that

214
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: is not good. That is not good.

215
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 2: Like everything in life, there's a balance. Should the prisoners

216
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: be running rough shot and running the prison and assaulting guard? No,

217
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 2: of course not. Should the warden be able to beat

218
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 2: somebody to death because he doesn't like him, No, of

219
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: course not. How about something in between. Let's let's try

220
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 2: to find it.

221
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: Man? That was rough?

222
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, what was that?

223
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 3: The point of the movie is how bad our prisons.

224
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: Used to be? No, it's about friendship and perseverance and

225
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 2: crawling through tunnels hope.

226
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 3: Hope that we're supposed to take away from the end

227
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 3: of the.

228
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 2: Keep hope alive. Yeah.

229
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. All I kept thinking is how, in the freaking

230
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 3: United States of America, with all the rights you know,

231
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 3: bestowed upon us by our maker, did we have prisons

232
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 3: like that?

233
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know what's interesting about that topic? What's interesting

234
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 2: about that topic? After this? After take two? What's it?

235
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 2: I thought I was feeling so good about that. I

236
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 2: was going to combine that.

237
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 3: The guard's gonna come here and beat garble. Your words

238
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 3: are not in the box.

239
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. What's interesting about that is I'm reading a book

240
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: that really applies directly to that discussion. How the certain

241
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: things in the past seem abhorrent, but they were nearly universal,

242
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 2: and so how do we look at them from a

243
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: modern perspective and not come to the wrong conclusions?

244
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 3: Ah? You know, am I.

245
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: Explaining this well?

246
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 3: Yeah? Presentism?

247
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, in short, yeah, anyway, much on the way,

248
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 2: stay here.

249
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 5: D NC co chair David Hogg told Politico that jb

250
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 5: Ritsker is a fighter.

251
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: True.

252
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 5: Right now, he's battling diabetes, heart disease and the thousand

253
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 5: pound limit on his condo's elevators.

254
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: The childish, idiotic. Wow, Michael, did you select that joke?

255
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 2: That was over the line?

256
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: And I like his tag at the end, jackass this

257
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 3: fat jackass, fat jackass.

258
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow, he didn't even get to JB is one

259
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 2: of the leading lights of mutilating children in the name

260
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 2: of transgenderism. But one thousand pound limit on his condo elevators.

261
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 3: Wow, that's good.

262
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: That's just that's just body shaming. I won't have it,

263
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 2: so Jack. Continuing on with the the thread of the

264
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: last segment about presentism. I am reading the book lies

265
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 2: my liberal teacher told me debunking the false narratives defining

266
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: America's school system, and it's it's a lot more thoughtful

267
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 2: than it sounds. It's not just a partisan boy libs

268
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: are dumb thing. It's really an interesting discussion of history.

269
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna hit you with just a bit of

270
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: the introduction because I thought I was great. And he's

271
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 2: talking about colonialism and the Western colonies and stuff. He says,

272
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 2: in reality, almost all areas of the world that were

273
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: conquered by the West were previously under the thumb or

274
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: boot heel of brutal and unelected native rulers, often external

275
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: conquerors themselves. And he goes through a bunch of history

276
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: of a bunch of different regions and yeah, it was

277
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: just one brutal conqueror after another. And then he issues

278
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: a disclaimer. Essentially, the fact that everybody did X virtually

279
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 2: throughout history, for instance, doesn't mean it's good or even okay.

280
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: But he says, for most ordinary people living through history,

281
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 2: war for conquest was normal but brutal. Whichever end of

282
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: the gun you happen to be on, what most people

283
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 2: cared about was what society looked like when the guns

284
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: smoke cleared. For such people, Western societies were often the

285
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 2: best bad option. That doesn't mean the Western conquerors were

286
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: always right to conquer, or that they weren't often hypocrites

287
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 2: by even their own loose standards. However, although normal isn't

288
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: the same as good when it comes to history or

289
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 2: any other topic, it's important to be aware of norms

290
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 2: because they determine the scale and tenor of our judgment

291
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: of the past, which you know is a good way

292
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 2: to put it in general. But he says, throughout this book,

293
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: I'll tackle the question of why liberal teachers teach common

294
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: historical myths, but I'll also ask why they've been so

295
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: vulnerable to ideological capture and the blinders of fashionable fallacies

296
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: in the first place. And he talked about human nature.

297
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: So we started with me mentioning that I finally saw

298
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 3: a Shawshank reeption. Next next week I'll review Titanic. But

299
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 3: so the the the thing to focus on is not

300
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 3: that we had such brutal prisons. Everywhere in the world

301
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 3: has had brutal prisons throughout history. It's that we reform

302
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 3: them and that we don't anymore.

303
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: Just right, Well, the point is not to and I

304
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: didn't have time to get to the key part, which

305
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: is annoying as hell. The key part is that you've

306
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: got to put it in perspective. It was wrong and

307
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: brutal that we had those prisons. But it's not a

308
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: United States problem. It's not unique to us. It's unique

309
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: to humankind. And so to demonize the sins of the

310
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: past and use them as an indictment of, for instance,

311
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: the United States of America is idiotic. It's invalid. It's

312
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: like hating your spouse because sometimes they're in a bad mood. No,

313
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: that's what human beings do.

314
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 3: It's like Elon said the other day, every person on

315
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 3: Earth is a descendant of a slave.

316
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, there's a little more to this, this sort

317
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: of squeeze, and then maybe we'll get to before the

318
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: show is over.

319
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 3: I like it another philosophical Friday. If you miss a

320
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 3: segment or no, or you can find it in podcast form,

321
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 3: listen to it, you know, on your couch with a

322
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 3: pipe and a glass of wine or something. Look for

323
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty on demand. Armstrong and Getty.

324
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: It's a great feeling That's what I've always said about

325
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: pearl dops. But now I've got another reason for saying it.

326
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: Pearl drops, cinnamon and a breath freshening cinnamon taste that

327
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: leaves my whole now feeling as good as my teeth. Mmm,

328
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: it's a great feeling.

329
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 3: What year was that, Michael, nineteen eighty one? Pearl drops?

330
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 3: That was way more sexual than I need to hear.

331
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that babe was really aroused by your pearl drops? Wow?

332
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 2: What are they again?

333
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 3: I remember that from my use it.

334
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 2: Was was it more or less an alternative to toothpaste?

335
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 2: To give you a fresher breath and all? It? It

336
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 2: kind of came a win there you Good for you.

337
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 3: Hey, In a couple of days, there is a statistic

338
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 3: that's gonna come out out that is going to be

339
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 3: the number one news story that day certainly and for

340
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 3: probably several days afterwards.

341
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 2: Wow, stay tuned. I am intrigued. So we're discussing the

342
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 2: book I've just started reading. It's been out for a while.

343
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 3: Lies.

344
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 2: My liberal teacher told me the subtitles probably you know,

345
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: in a perfect world where you didn't need to market

346
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: as aggressively as you do, it's debunking the false narratives

347
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 2: defining America's school schoolrooms. But he's the author, is talking

348
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: about the history of warfare, and how for like all

349
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 2: of human history, you would enslave the defeated folks, you

350
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 2: would take their women, you'd execute their men, you'd enslave

351
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 2: their children, or make them your own or whatever. And

352
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 2: then he moves into so I'll just read it now

353
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 2: for the moral standards virtually all of us profess to

354
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 2: believe in today, Enslaving your enemies is bad, even though

355
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: it happened under colonizers in every shade of the human rainbow,

356
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 2: breaking treaties that were based upon your sworn word to

357
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 2: pick just one sin common across the races and ages

358
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: is bad. And he'd mentioned previously that we had done

359
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: that with some of the native tribes. But the fact

360
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: that almost literally no one alive prior to say again,

361
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: the nineteen fifties in the West shared modern dorm room

362
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: morality is critical to know for many reasons. First, Western

363
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: herds should temper their hysterical guilt about the past. The

364
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 2: bad things that we did were in most cases done

365
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: by all human beings with the power to do them.

366
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 2: The Arab Muslims, the horse Lord Mongols, the Black Moors,

367
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 2: the Ottomans, the Aztecs during eras when they were legally

368
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: and ethically accepted as norms. Second, we shouldn't be embarrassed

369
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 2: of good things just because they're done by the wrong people.

370
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 2: In quotes the unique contribution of the West to the rest,

371
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 2: as in the cases of the maritime slave trade ending

372
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: it or Central African cannibalism, so is very often ending

373
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 2: the practices today that we all find repellent or pretend to.

374
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 2: This point is not only obviously accurate and sweeping in scope,

375
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 2: but also relevant specifically to our debates today about compensations

376
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: for the past, such as slavery reparations, any serious plan

377
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 2: for which logically have to target the rich Arab states,

378
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: rising bricks powers of Africa, and anyone else Burgeois Scandinavian

379
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 2: descendants of the Vikings, anyone linked to the multi century

380
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 2: global trade in men and women. And Throughout this book

381
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 2: I'll tackle the question of why liberal teachers teach common

382
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: historical myths. Understanding the brutal reality of human nature and

383
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: history has huge implications for the future. Most notably, we

384
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 2: should recognize that all of the great heroes of this

385
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: era are flawed human beings who will be judged as

386
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 2: such down the road by our descendants. And then he

387
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 2: goes into the various flaws of people who are more

388
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 2: or less universally seen as hero And what strikes me

389
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 2: is why this is so calm, and the presentism, the

390
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 2: dorm room morality and that sort of thing. And like

391
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 2: all of these questions, there are the useful idiots who

392
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: are of good heart and just want to be on

393
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 2: the right moral side of things. And that's that's admirable.

394
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 2: It's not bad, it's admirable. But I'm reminded of Othello,

395
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: Shakespeare's great play Othello, in which Othello had this wonderful,

396
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 2: beautiful wife, great marriage, but he had a bastard whispering

397
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: in his ear to try to pry his wife away

398
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 2: from him, and it ended up all murderous in Shakespeare, right,

399
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 2: it's not getting too too far into the plot. And

400
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 2: of course the I can't remember was it the name

401
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 2: of the character, and it doesn't matter. But that character

402
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 2: who's whispering in Offellow's ears is a lot like who

403
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: I generally refer to as the neo Marxist is the

404
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: people who want to overthrow Western civilization. They follow the

405
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: whole victim of presser, settler, colonialist DEI critical theory. Crap. Right,

406
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: What you do is you take young people and you say,

407
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 2: look at the sins of the United States. Look at

408
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: those sins. Look how evil they are from the perspective

409
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 2: of nineteen or twenty first century dorm room morality. Any

410
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 2: country that evil should not be allowed to continue, should

411
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 2: be torn apart. Who's with me? And the poor kids

412
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 2: who don't know better or soft heads say, God, that

413
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 2: stuff is evil. That's terrible. And if they let on

414
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 2: for a minute that everybody was doing that all of

415
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 2: the time everywhere, they would lose that opportunity to whisper

416
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 2: into the king's ear and turn him again, not his wife,

417
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 2: but his civilization. And it's incredibly cynical and dishonest.

418
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then there's the I mean, the Soviet Union

419
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 3: loved showing the civil rights strife we've had in the

420
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 3: United States on their TVs. You know, say, America is

421
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 3: not everything they claim it is, and so that justifies

422
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 3: you being an awful prison state.

423
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 2: I mean, well, right, and actually I kind of skipped

424
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 2: his final conclusion, but the point is to learn from

425
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 2: the past and to have some honest perspective about it,

426
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: so you can, you know, benefit from history, not use

427
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 2: it as a ridiculous, a distorted weapon to get what

428
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 2: you want, but to actually understand it. Wilfred Riley's the

429
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: name of the guy who wrote it. I really recommend it.

430
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: It's again it's it's both really accessible and deals with

431
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 2: some really important ideas. I think so lies. My liberal

432
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 2: teacher told me.

433
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 3: I've never so is that cynicism. I've never understood people

434
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 3: who enjoy the philosophy of the United States is not

435
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 3: as great as it claims, and religious people aren't as

436
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 3: perfect as they claim, and you know, just that sort

437
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 3: of thing.

438
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: What is that?

439
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 2: Well, it's how does that make you happier?

440
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 3: So nobody can reach the perfect ideal that they set

441
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 3: for themselves as a human or a country, So don't try,

442
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 3: or I don't even know. I don't even get the point.

443
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 2: I think it's different on an individual basis. On an

444
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 2: individual basis, you know, it's it's ignored the don't worry

445
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 2: about the splinter in your neighbors, I worry about the

446
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 2: log in your own. People always want to point out

447
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 2: other people's sins, to make them feel better about themselves.

448
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 3: I know I do.

449
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, hell all day long, favorite hobby, but as

450
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 2: a presentism, politically speaking, has been absolutely nakedly a weapon

451
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: of overthrow. Yeah, it's an indictment, and utterly unfair indictment.

452
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 3: I want to throw this out here before I get

453
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 3: to that statistic as I'm coughing. I mentioned this earlier.

454
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: I have fought this for.

455
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 3: Quite a while now, and I'm going to accept it

456
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 3: because somebody pointed out to me it's just true last night.

457
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 3: I get sick more than the average person, at least

458
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 3: I have for the last I don't know how long year,

459
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 3: two years longer, I don't know.

460
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know I never used to.

461
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 3: I know I never used to unless I was in

462
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 3: denial then, but I don't think I used to AnyWho.

463
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: You know.

464
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 3: And it kind of gets what we were talking about

465
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 3: yesterday about being better looking than average or smarter than

466
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 3: average people. Half of people are uglier than average, half

467
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 3: of people are dumber than average. It's just the way

468
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 3: statistics work. I mean, it's just they're still getting wrong.

469
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 3: But so if I'm on the I get sick more

470
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 3: than average, you know, I'm in the bottom half am

471
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 3: I you know, slightly.

472
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 2: Moral either, by the way, but anyway, yes, what's that

473
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 2: It's not a moral feeling.

474
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 3: No, I don't think it is. That's what I was

475
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 3: going to throw it out for anybody listening. It's like,

476
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 3: either I don't know, you're a medical professional, or you've

477
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 3: dealt with this or something like that. If you get

478
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 3: sick more often than your friend's family, whatever, if you

479
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 3: come up with a way to deal with that, like

480
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 3: a way to avoid that, to temper that. Do you

481
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 3: are a mask?

482
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: Do you?

483
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: I don't know. Is there anything?

484
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 3: Because I'm tired of being sick? I hate it's miss

485
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 3: It's been a very unenjoyable couple of weeks.

486
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 2: I had a period there, like a week of being

487
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 2: perfectly healthy, then like I was sick for like a

488
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 2: week before that, and I'm tired.

489
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 3: Of it and I don't want to Is there anything

490
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 3: to do about that? I guess is my question. If

491
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 3: you have any answer for that to email or text,

492
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 3: I guess, or if I just doomed this.

493
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 2: Well, I know you like to nap and public toilets

494
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 2: because you like the feel of the tile, So maybe

495
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

496
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe I'm doing something that other people don't do.

497
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 3: That gets me sick more often. I like the tongue

498
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 3: kiss everybody I meet. That's my greeting instead of handshakings.

499
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 2: Right, the traditional greeting of my people is a little

500
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 2: off putting.

501
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, hobo outside the grocery store doesn't matter.

502
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 2: Plus you eat at the gas station. Yeah, I don't know.

503
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 2: I suspect it's something geneticish, but who knows.

504
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 3: But I wasn't this way my whole life.

505
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 2: There may be a little denial.

506
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 3: Tell me this, and as I was sick of fair

507
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 3: amount as a kid, I was in the hospital.

508
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 2: No, I'm asking this as a friend among your people,

509
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 2: the hardy Iowa farmer. Maybe being sick isn't like look

510
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: down upon, but not doing your work because you're sick

511
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 2: is definitely squinted at a little bit. Oh beyond squinted's

512
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 2: party part of the culture you come from.

513
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 3: Right, So some meaning what that I.

514
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 2: Maybe you haven't wanted to admit that you want to know.

515
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 3: I haven't wanted to admit that. I'm a person. To me,

516
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 3: it is a moral failing if you get sick more

517
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 3: than the average person. In my mind, it's a moral failing.

518
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 2: We've had a breakthrough here, we've had a get out

519
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 2: the box of tissues. There are gonna be some tears.

520
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 3: It is absolutely a lack of character if you get

521
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 3: sick more than the average person.

522
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 2: The same way, you're not saying you've perceived it to

523
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 2: be your you still believe that. Well, yes, it's exactly

524
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 2: like the thing. It's exactly it's exactly like he was

525
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 2: here to mock you.

526
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 3: Yes, no, it's exactly like what you said like a

527
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: week ago. And how you judge men who put cream

528
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 3: in their coffee, and how intellectually you know that's totally different. No,

529
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 3: it's exactly. Intellectually you know this doesn't mean anything. But

530
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 3: you wait a minute, you don't feel that way anyway.

531
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, Oh my god, I need the tissues now, Michael,

532
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 3: give me the tissues.

533
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 2: All right, the waterworks are about to start. You on

534
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 2: a deep anthropological we're gonna fight the next valley guys

535
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 2: to the death today level see that as weakness, Oh absolutely,

536
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 2: it's I see the cream and the coffee as pickiness,

537
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 2: which is weakness, because we're gonna have to fight the

538
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: guys in the valley next valley to the death by

539
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 2: sundown today and we're not gonna it's it's caveman judgment

540
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: and we're not gonna win that battle if our you know,

541
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: if our bowman says, ah, anybody got any cream? Some cream?

542
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 2: This bow is so dirty, it's dirty. I can't fire

543
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 2: this at the invading horror.

544
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 3: You're right, that is exactly what it is, though, because

545
00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 3: it is literally weakness. If you're sick, more off, and

546
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 3: you're less able to help the herd. I mean that's

547
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 3: just a fact, right.

548
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we live in a word where you've helped the

549
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 2: herd quite adequately this week, thank you very much. But yeah,

550
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 2: I think it's difficult to leave that sort of thing behind.

551
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 2: I think, just you know, in the modern world, you've

552
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 2: got to be aware of it.

553
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: It's like.

554
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: There is an aspect of quote unquote racism that is inborn.

555
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 2: It's been proved over and over again by science that

556
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 2: babies tend to react more positively to faces that look

557
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 2: like their own for reasons of anthropological tribal belonging, in

558
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 2: self protection and mutual protection. That sort of thing. Just

559
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 2: as a modern human being, you have to recognize that

560
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 2: and say, oh, oh, that's what that is, okay, cool.

561
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 2: I got to overcome that.

562
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I've had a major breakthrough in the last

563
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 3: fifteen hours of finally recognizing, at least at this point

564
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 3: in my life, I get sick more than the average person,

565
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 3: which I hate to say out loud. Oh my god,

566
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 3: I hate to say that out loud. I'm not gonna

567
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 3: say it around my kids, even though it's probably obvious.

568
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 2: I tell you what, if I'm dealing with a guy

569
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 2: who's sniffing and coughing and says, not only does there

570
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 2: no cream, there's no hazel nut cream, I've kind of

571
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 2: have hazel nut cream. Yeah, I'm kicking them right the

572
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 2: hell out of the tribe. I admit it.

573
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 3: The statistic that's gonna land next week, that's gonna be

574
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 3: the biggest news stories. But I'll tell you what, I've

575
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 3: had a few in my life in an adult life

576
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 3: where you have revelations about yourself, and it's just mind

577
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 3: blowing whenever that happens, like, how have I been? How

578
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 3: have I been in denial about this? I just think

579
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 3: it's fascinating the power of the human brain to deny

580
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 3: reality if it needs to as a protection mechanism about

581
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 3: various things. And then when for whatever reason, you have

582
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 3: a breakthrough and realize it. It's just like, Wow, what

583
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 3: else am I missing about my own life?

584
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 2: And how it takes so long?

585
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: Right?

586
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 3: Stunning? Or maybe I'm just click now why didn't clear?

587
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 2: Well, there's that.

588
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 3: So this is probably gonna be huge. April thirtieth, so

589
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 3: today's twenty five, fifty five days from here. So he

590
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 3: had twenty six, twenty nine. So middle of next week

591
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 3: the quarterly GDP economic numbers come out, and it's projected

592
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 3: by most outlets that we're gonna be somewhere around minus two.

593
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 2: Make it grows too in growth? Yeah, and I mean

594
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 2: if there was a shrinkage.

595
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean anything short of four percent four percent

596
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 3: plus is considered kind of weak. So, uh, minus two,

597
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 3: that's gonna be the talk of America. And you know

598
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 3: it won't be a Trump's lap, he hasn't been in

599
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 3: office that long, but blah blah blah blah blah. It's

600
00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a big, big topic.

601
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 2: Hey kids, it's that time again with Armstrong and Getty.

602
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 3: Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

603
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 2: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew

604
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 2: to wrap things up for the day. There he is

605
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 2: Michael Angelo in the control room. Michael, what's your final thought?

606
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: All right?

607
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 2: It said tip for Jack? Okay, to keep him healthy?

608
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 3: Jack, you gotta quit saying the following phrase, don't throw

609
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 3: that away, give it to me. I'll eat that.

610
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, if it was always stomach illnesses, I would agree

611
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 2: with that. But I don't think I'm catching a cold

612
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 2: because I ate expired yogurt. Our esteemed newswoman Katie Green

613
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 2: has the day off, Jack. What's your final thought for us?

614
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 3: Didn't get a lot of texts from a lot of you,

615
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 3: and the things you have done to try to keep

616
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 3: sickness at bay all look them over and we'll see

617
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 3: what happens.

618
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 2: My final thought is, all right, the whole can you

619
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: give us a review? How did we do? Thing? Is

620
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 2: just completely over the line. I just got an email

621
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 2: from a music venue asking how did we do for

622
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 2: a show I went to. I just checked on October

623
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,160
