1
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: This is the Armstrong and Getty Show, featuring our podcast

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: one more Thing, get it wherever you like to get podcasts.

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: Reminds me for some reason, you saying that Katie when

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: I was single and childless. Thank you. What is her name, Gladys?

5
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: I want to sorry, Gladys. I want to call her Lola.

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: For some reason, Lola doesn't play the harp. Thank you,

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: Gladys for laying the harp of me reminiscing about something

8
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: when I was a single and childless. There were a

9
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: few weekends where I would realize on Monday morning, as

10
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: I'm driving to work to do the radio show, that

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 2: I hadn't said a word since I left work on Friday,

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: because I hadn't interacted with another human being at all.

13
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: I just saidn't a word to anybody. Hmmm. I don't

14
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: really know what to say to that.

15
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: What percentage of the population can make that same claim

16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: I did not interact with another human being the entire weekend,

17
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: did not speak a word. It's fairly limited, I would guess,

18
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: but you know you do you what would you guess?

19
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: And if you as angry hermit.

20
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: I would guess that both my brothers have done it.

21
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 2: Semi regularly recently with their kids older and out of

22
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: the house, Like not even a phone call, Like that's bizarre.

23
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: Nobody talks on the phone. And I don't know if

24
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: that's a good example. Now back in the day, No,

25
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: we're talking back in the day.

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, you had Gladys play the damn harp, then

27
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: you called her Lola, and now we're in the present day.

28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: On what's going on here?

29
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: Somebody explained the crowd roles. Have we all lost.

30
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: What does Walter say in The Big Lebowski something about it?

31
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: We all lost our minds? Nobody cares about the rules anymore.

32
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: How much of an outliar do you think I am?

33
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: You think I'm in the one percent of the population

34
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: that has ever done that? Or it's fewer than five

35
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: five pretty small.

36
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: No, it's not five. It's one to one to two

37
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: and a half.

38
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: I don't think it's probably good for you. I also

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: had to do with like, like, you know, I have

40
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: a really big Friday night, maybe a long watching movies

41
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 2: or something, and you don't feel so good on Saturday,

42
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 2: maybe part of Sunday. You just don't leave the house.

43
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: You order a pizza. You know, it might be an

44
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: exaggeration to have not said a word to anybody. Might

45
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: have said thanks to the pizza guy when he handed

46
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: me to pizza, but it wouldn't have been more than

47
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 2: a couple of words.

48
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 3: Oh, in this day and age, even with phones, I've

49
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: done that where you take the recovery day, you turn

50
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: the phone off.

51
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, So think about this though. The younger crowd

52
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: now with their lifestyle, like you know our producer Sean

53
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: or whatever, I'll but he had weekends where he never

54
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: said a word to anybody other than through maybe a

55
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: headset playing video games or a number of young people.

56
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: Now that you know you can DoorDash or whatever, you

57
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: don't have to call anybody to order food or something. Ill,

58
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 2: but it happens more often than you think. It'd still

59
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: be a small number. It makes me sad. All I

60
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: know is we're moving more than that direction then away

61
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 2: from it, I would guess.

62
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: Which is good. You can see all the statistics on

63
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: how happy and care free young people are these days.

64
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I ever came out of a

65
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 2: weekend like thinking that was like a really good time,

66
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 2: or what an awesome weekend that was, or something I'm

67
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: not claiming that see.

68
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 3: And I'm of the day and age of cell phones

69
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: and whatnot, and it's amazing the hoops I will jump

70
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: through to avoid having to talk to somebody else. Yeah,

71
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: like you know, scheduling appointments online, ordering online, all that stuff.

72
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: I would much rather do that than have to call

73
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 3: and interact with someone.

74
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I avoid it now, not because I don't want

75
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: to talk to it. If I thought I could talk

76
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: to human being, i'd call right away. I don't want

77
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: to call and get your impossible to use automated phone

78
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: system that takes me twenty minutes and doesn't work. I'll

79
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: see if I can do it online. And the reason

80
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: it takes twenty minutes and doesn't work is because you

81
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: want me to do it online because it's the cheapest

82
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: thing for you. But that's a different topic. A couple

83
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: of quick things here. I just came across this. Don't

84
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: usually talk about this sort of thing on this podcast.

85
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: This money circulating in US is expanding rapidly. We have

86
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: a money supply surge going on right now. It's the

87
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: highest level in over a year. They think that will

88
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: likely lead to inflation surging higher. Don't like that story.

89
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: It ought to if the laws of monetary physics are

90
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: still true, and they are.

91
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 2: And then this one. This is an actual survey. This

92
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: isn't one of those done by According to walkintubs dot com,

93
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: older people always look at who paid for the survey.

94
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: A lot of time surveys have just the crap because

95
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: of who they paid for. This is actual research done

96
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: by a team of German researches in Germany and the

97
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: United States Journal of Psychology. Stuff about how what where

98
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: we think old age begins has been moving higher. This

99
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 2: is not surprising at all. Last lie, that's when do

100
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 2: you think old age began for you? Yes? Absolutely, last time.

101
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: I feel like I screwed up my back.

102
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: Oh really it started the shuffling like I'm ninety and

103
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: it's a lot better now.

104
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: But that ill, that has a lot to do with it,

105
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 2: because I was gonna mention my mom and dad have

106
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 2: different numbers on that, and for those reasons, my mom's

107
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 2: physical health is not near where my dad's is. So

108
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: I don't know what she would say, but she would

109
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: probably say old age starts. Well, I can tell you

110
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: the average now is seventy five. If you actually ask

111
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: a senior, when does old age begin? It's now seventy five.

112
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: Seventy five is the new sixty five, because it used

113
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 2: to be not that many years ago. People said old

114
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: age started at sixty five. Now that would seem kind

115
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: of crazy, I think for a lot of people. Yea,

116
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: for me, it started at forty eight. That when you

117
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: start hurting yourself, you know, just doing the most basic

118
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 2: things like walking or something. Yeah. I was just in

119
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: the lunch room in one of the saleswomen who is

120
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 2: now in her forties, was talking about all forties or

121
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: not what I thought they would be talking about trying

122
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: to work out, and she keeps getting hurt and blah

123
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: blah blah. Yeah, but so now it's seventy five is

124
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: both sixty five. My dad says eighty eighties when old

125
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 2: age starts, but that's because he was still riding his

126
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: horse up till eighty two. My mom has not been

127
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 2: as physically as gifted as him and would put it

128
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: a little earlier, but probably about surprisingly.

129
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: The horse was seventy five. What it's an old horse,

130
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: shoe horse?

131
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 2: When are you going to get off of me? That

132
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 2: is the question. When do I have when do I

133
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: get to be an old age? That do only makes sense.

134
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: I suppose life expectancy and help. But my mom regularly

135
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 2: says when she was a kid, people in their sixties

136
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: were considered old. You that you were done with life

137
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: in your sixties. Nobody would have thought you played golf

138
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 2: or rode a horse or rode bikes or vacationed or

139
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: anything in your sixties.

140
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: You were just like a new career.

141
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 2: You were just in a rocking chair in your sixties,

142
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 2: which now, of course, seems crazy. You're the youngest amongst

143
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: Katie and he thoughts on this or does everything over

144
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: the age of forty five just seem ancient to you?

145
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: No, both my parent parents are in their early to

146
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: mid seventies, and they're both young as can be, So

147
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 3: I don't even think seventy five is old in my perspective.

148
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 2: And I, dude, everything started hurting on me last year.

149
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 3: And I had a stroke when I was thirty one,

150
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 3: so I'm ninety.

151
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: That's why we get along, so I had all better.

152
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: Having a stroke at thirty one would change your view

153
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: of it. I didn't have any health situation really at

154
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: all until I got cancer at forty nine. But dude,

155
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: my health went nuts at twenty nine.

156
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 3: A kidney problem came up out of nowhere a quote

157
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 3: mutated gene. I have a hereditary condition that is a

158
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: mutated gene because nobody else in my family has it.

159
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 3: And then I stroked out in twenty twenty. It was wild,

160
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 3: have no idea what caused that the stroke? Yeah, well

161
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: it was a mixture of not taking care of myself

162
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 3: in stress. Okay, they said, oh really, but some of

163
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 3: it was in your control. Yeah, I just I wasn't

164
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 3: exercising at all. Obese big time?

165
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: Were you really? I can't picture you obese at all?

166
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 2: Two hundred and ten pounds? Were you really? This is

167
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: new information, so that that's why you're always talking about

168
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: working out and you eat so healthy. Yeah, I had

169
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: I had to make a change.

170
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: The doctors were like, this you do They actually call

171
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 3: said that I dodged a bullet because I had three

172
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: tias over the course.

173
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: Of a week.

174
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Well it'll get your attention, want it?

175
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah? Huge? Kind of like what I mean.

176
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 3: Michael Angelo had had the big shock diabetes diagnosis and

177
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: had to make a complete change on his life.

178
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: Eye opening. That's why I've been saying for a long

179
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: time that I'd like to have a minor heart attack.

180
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: Come on, yeah, I think a minor heart attack would

181
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: get my attention and I wouldn't need donuts and stuff anymore.

182
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: I don't want a major heart attack and don't want

183
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: to die. I got kids to raise. But I think

184
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 2: a minor heart attack just a little a huh, like

185
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 2: flicking my ear huh. Wake up.

186
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: Well, good luck with that plan. That's between you and

187
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: the almighty, who you'll be meeting sooner than later. But

188
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: that's an interesting way to approach life. Note to self,

189
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: take blood pressure this afternoon. Yes, oh yeah, it's always

190
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: a good idea. One final note on brain health, because

191
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: during your little screen about not having contact with any

192
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: human being for an entire weekend, you know, so much

193
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: of what we are is neurologically pre determined, honestly, and

194
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: if you're a neurological outsider or outlier, you just are.

195
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: And you can, as I always say, you can operate

196
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: within a certain narrowish lane of the way you're made.

197
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: You can intentionally be more outgoing because you know it's

198
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: good for you, blah blah blah, but you are who

199
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: you are. Having said that, we were talking about handwriting

200
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: and why so many states are trying to bring back

201
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: handwriting incursive. I was intrigued because there wasn't a lot

202
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: of information in the article we had, and I was

203
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: reading into it. And apparently, according to neuropsychologists, there's something

204
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: about handwriting that involves all sorts of of different parts

205
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: of your brain that govern language and creativity and physical

206
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: stuff and whatever, and they all have to interconnect and

207
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: work together to yield handwriting and it's really good for

208
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: your brain. Well, I mean, it's a use it or

209
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: lose it thing with your brain.

210
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 2: I'm completely aware of that, and of just the idea

211
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: of that's why journaling and that sort of stuff is

212
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: so important. There's something about writing down thoughts that can

213
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 2: get them out of your head and arrange them in

214
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: ways that they don't get arranged otherwise. And people have

215
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 2: known this for centuries and if you don't do it,

216
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: you should try it. I do it every day, sometimes

217
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 2: twice a day. But writing things down organizes them in

218
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: your head or gets them out of your head, like

219
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 2: if you got to you know, why do I keep

220
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: thinking about this thing that's driving me nuts? Write it

221
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: down a couple of times and it can go away.

222
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 2: Trust me, I've done it. I don't know how many times,

223
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: but I do they know that printing doesn't do the

224
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: same thing as cursive because I print, I've had success

225
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 2: with it. And that's why I just don't understand why

226
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 2: they're bringing back cursive specifically. I really can't imagine why

227
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: it would be different. I can't.

228
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, which doesn't mean that it's not. I

229
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: just can't imagine.

230
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: One question that I don't think they've answered, because I've

231
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: looked into this and read some stuff about it. They're

232
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: not sure if typing works the same way as I

233
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: was just talking about or not, because you are picking

234
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 2: specific letters and having to manipulate your fingers and everything

235
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 2: like that.

236
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and what about playing a musical instrument And

237
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: although you can't compel a kid to play the guitar,

238
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: but you can have them right in school and it's

239
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: good for the brains.

240
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: They've brought back. If you didn't hear us talking about this,

241
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: they brought back cursive, I think down twenty two states,

242
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 2: and I just wondered, why, what's the argument for it.

243
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: I'm seeing that curse. According to the Google cursive.

244
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 3: Engages more areas of the brain than when you print.

245
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: I if that's true. It's true. I do know because

246
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 2: I know some of these people. There's just a hanging

247
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 2: on the cursive because I've always done it. I'm good

248
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: at it, and my grandma did it. That's why that

249
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 2: drives some of it. But if it's better for you,

250
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 2: it's better for you, and I'm fine with that. All

251
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: I know is.

252
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: That the environment of the beast, the human beast, is

253
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: evolving at five thousand times the speed that the beast

254
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: can adapt to it.

255
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably more like five hundred thousand times of speed.

256
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, all right, how about five million times?

257
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 2: But the point being, yeah, what are we going to

258
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 2: do with that?

259
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: I was hoping he'd say, yeah, how about fifty million times?

260
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 2: Uh, And we're not even close to how fast it's

261
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: going to go as soon as AI and everything kicks in.

262
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: So well, we're all doomed, doomed to insanity, misery, drug addiction,

263
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: public fornication.

264
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: Who knows we who knows you wish public tornication? Maybe

265
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 2: some babies would be born. So if I was one

266
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 2: percent of the population that didn't talk to anybody over

267
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 2: the weekend, that number will be seventy five percent here

268
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: in about ten years.

269
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: I think and the survivors will write that history, but

270
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: not incursive because the brains have stuffed working. That's something too.

271
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: Funny not to end on strong. This was actually real.

272
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 2: Remember this promo. I never watched the show bad The

273
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: most horrifying dumpy attack Heather caught on.

274
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: Team That was when animals attack, right, that was in

275
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: the heyday of when Big Fox went with like super

276
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: pandery shows like when animals attack in celebrity boxing and stuff.

277
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 2: Well, that would so the world's most terrifying donkey attack

278
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: caught on tape, Yes, the most horrifying dumpy Heather caught

279
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 2: on tape.

280
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, not like a somewhat horrifying one of your second

281
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: or third most horrifying donkey attacks. They got the mcgillo,

282
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: they got the the all time champ.

283
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 2: The most horrifying donkey attack, right, take the top five,

284
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 2: take that other s and get it out of here.

285
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: Your marginally dangerous donkey exactly somewhat horrifying donkey attacks.

286
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: Oh watch that.

287
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. That's also when they were doing the Man

288
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: versus Beast, which I loved. That was so.

289
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: Crap horrific.

290
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: We're so funny. Then Michael against a shark too. Yeah,

291
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: that was that was more reason. But Katie, this is

292
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: when you were but a wee girl.

293
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, Fox Big Fox used to do some great idiotic,

294
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: pandering TV shows.

295
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: They had whoever was the current fastest runner raced a

296
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 2: giraffe I think for inexplicable reasons, and a guy what

297
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: did he wrestle up there? Oh, he tried to out

298
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: eat It was a hot dog eating Tobyashi at the

299
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: time before Joey Chestnut, the top hotdog eater in the world.

300
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: Kobyashi tried to played a hot talks faster than a

301
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: and the bear just like just went like golden entertainment.

302
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: Oh it was, it was. It was terrible because they'd

303
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: show like the only really good piece of footage to

304
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: promote it and at the beginning and over and over again.

305
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: Then you had to wait till the end of the

306
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: show and sit through, you know, just just stupidity.

307
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 2: Well, and the animals usually won, like just very easily

308
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: as you would expect. There was some NFL linemen or

309
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: some big tough guy who did a tuggle war with

310
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 2: the Ryan Attack.

311
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: I'd forgotten about that one. Oh this is good stuff.

312
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: Stupid show. I just remember you had the guy in

313
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 2: the giraffe and they released him and the guys run

314
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: as fast again in the giraffe just disappeared. What's the

315
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: point of this? When Animals Attack was on for weeks,

316
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: that was an ongoing show, right, That was the heyday

317
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 2: of Fox. Bring that back. I think they just ran

318
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: out of ideas.

319
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: And sometimes they'd have real footage, but because not everybody

320
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: had a cell phone at that point and ring cameras

321
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: weren't omnipresent, it was a lot of reenactments, very disciplined.

322
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: I don't care how good your reenactment is, it's not

323
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: the same as actual footage.

324
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:33,080

Speaker 2: at age sixty than he's ever been in his career.

336
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,200

Speaker 2: XM FORO one hundred and fifty million dollars, and he's

338
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: got millions of people that tune into his various works now,

339
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 2: so good for him. Funny guy, creative guy. An interesting

340
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 2: thing about his personality that I heard in an interview

341
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 2: I want to bring up, but first let's hear a

342
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 2: clip of him on The Tonight Show last night with

343
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 2: Jimmy Fallon, first time he'd been back to The Tonight

344
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: Show since he got it taken away from him back

345
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: in the day.

346
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 4: This really nice young guy in a white shirt in

347
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 4: a baseball cap starts chatting with me, and he's saying,

348
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 4: you know, Conan and I love the podcast, and so

349
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 4: I really love the old late night clips. I watch

350
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 4: him all the time, and you know, I also really

351
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 4: like the stuff you did with the Simpsons.

352
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: And I'm like, he's so nice.

353
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm saying, thank you so much.

354
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 4: Then we both go through the TSA thing. He goes through.

355
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 4: I go through. I collect all my stuff, you know,

356
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 4: the way you're kind of distracted. I put my belt on,

357
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 4: get my shoes back on, I turn around, see the

358
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 4: guy white shirt hat, and I go, you know what,

359
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 4: let's do selfie. Come on, come on, do selfie. And

360
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 4: the guy goes, okay, let's go your knucklehead, and I

361
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 4: get I'm like in a headlock. Yeah, and he does

362
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 4: a selfie and just as he's taking it, I look,

363
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 4: my guy's over there. This is just a guy who's

364
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 4: also wearing a white shirt in a baseball cap, which

365
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 4: is pretty eff in common. So rewind that story now

366
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 4: and see it from his point of view. He's waiting

367
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 4: for his wife to come through. Connor O'Brien comes through

368
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 4: and he's like, hey, Sephie, get.

369
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 2: That I'm talking about. And I told.

370
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 4: The guy I feel so, but you can delete it,

371
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 4: and he was looked like he was on the fence

372
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 4: about deleting it. I felt terrible, but I love moments

373
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 4: like that where I'm go right back down to whatever

374
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 4: you think you've achieved in life.

375
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 2: Me there's a guy who thinks I met Connor O'Brian.

376
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 4: He's just an insane a hole.

377
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 2: That would be confusing. You're standing there, Conor Brian all

378
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 2: of a sudden shows.

379
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 5: Up, What what? Okay, that's a great story, Oh lord?

380
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 5: And well told.

381
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: God.

382
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 2: Conan O'Brien flying commercial and taking off his belt and shoes.

383
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 2: I mean, when was that or does he still do that? Maybe?

384
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 2: I don't know, Yeah, I wonder does He doesn't even

385
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 2: ts a PreCheck. It's not that expensive, man. So one

386
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 2: thing I want to did you so Conan O'Brien's probably

387
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 2: really closer to your era, Katie as being the big

388
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 2: late night king in ours? Yeah? Oh yeah, huge. I

389
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 2: love him. I think he's hysterically funny.

390
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 4: He is.

391
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 2: He is a funny, funny guy. Yeah.

392
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

393
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 3: I love watching his stuff where he goes out in

394
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 3: the public and just messes with people. He's got a

395
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 3: great series on YouTube were I think if you just

396
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 3: type in Conan he has his own channel and it's

397
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,719
Speaker 3: just all this stuff of him with like Kevin Hart

398
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 3: having the intern drive and.

399
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 2: Just completely screwing with her the whole time. It's just wonderful. Yeah,

400
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 2: and uh what another Conan. The thing is, Oh, I've

401
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 2: heard Adam Sandler on a different podcast talking about how

402
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 2: when Conan So, Conan was a writer there and a

403
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 2: lot of those big stars from Sarah and Live were there,

404
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 2: and then when Conan got his own show, they were

405
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 2: all so excited for him because they all liked him,

406
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 2: and Adam Sandler and David Spadeen, Chris Farlane, all those

407
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 2: people went over to somebody's house to watch his first

408
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 2: show because they were all so excited that he was

409
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: getting his big shot to be a big deal, and uh,

410
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 2: I need it turned out to be a big deal.

411
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: And like I've mentioned a few times, he just sold

412
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 2: his podcast for one hundred and fifty million dollars. Too serious.

413
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: After all his success, so good for him. But even

414
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 2: with all that, he was on some buddy else's show

415
00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: and talking about how and I think this is true

416
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 2: for a lot of people, how no matter what has

417
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,719
Speaker 2: happened in his life, he's still the same guy who

418
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 2: was in high school. When in high school he was

419
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 2: a very awkward, not very well liked, weirdo with not

420
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 2: very many friends. And he said he's still that, he

421
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: still sees himself that way. He's still always uncomfortable. He

422
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: just he said he doesn't at this point, he's sixty

423
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 2: years old. He doesn't expect anything will ever change that. So,

424
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 2: no level of crowds, cheering money, success, anything has changed

425
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 2: to he was in high school and even without the

426
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: crowd's money and everything like that. I feel the same

427
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 2: way too. So why is who we were in high

428
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 2: school baked into who we are for the rest of

429
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: our lives. Whose cruel trick was that?

430
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: I guess back when I would have been a cave boy,

431
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: it just didn't matter. Life was so completely different for

432
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: the first ninety nine point nine nine nine nine nine

433
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: percent of mankind's existence. It was, you know, all right, look,

434
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: you're you're of breeding age, you're a fighting age, you're

435
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: of tracking down a mast to done, putting a spirit

436
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: of age.

437
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,239
Speaker 2: Let's get this done. When you're gonna be dead by

438
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: age twenty four most likely. Yeah, yeah, so it didn't matter.

439
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're searching for yourself at age forty eight as

440
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: a cave man. Well that's a rarity.

441
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 5: I just don't know who I am.

442
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 2: I've seen it work both ways too. I've known a

443
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: few people that were big deals in high school and

444
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: adult life has not worked out for them that well,

445
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 2: but they still see themselves as the big deal, and

446
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 2: it just it's kind of weird to be around.

447
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: You know, you don't I look that great for you,

448
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: But okay, good for you. Well, I still got the

449
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: nose in the air congrats looking good.

450
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 3: Makes it hard to feel bad for them, though, right right, right, right?

451
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't Yeah, I suppose so I don't recall

452
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 2: running into anybody who really answered to that description recently,

453
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know.

454
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: I think I would pity them all the more. But again,

455
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: I haven't rushed up against them, so I don't know.

456
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,479
Speaker 1: But getting back to the whole caveman thing, So I guess,

457
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: you know, typical if you're going to have like a

458
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: midnight a midlife crisis, or you know, what am I doing?

459
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: Why am I doing this? Is this how I want

460
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: to spend the rest of my life? It'd be like

461
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: at age seventeen as a caveman, right right, all of

462
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 1: this eating meat and sitting around a fire.

463
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: And I wonder if that's the biggest problem, If that's

464
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: the biggest problem modern humans have is our brains and

465
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 2: consciousness just was not designed to go past like hardly

466
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 2: past age twenty. Breed, win a battle, die next, right, right, Yeah.

467
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 2: And I'd imagine if there were scientists fifty thousand years ago,

468
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 2: if you were to say to them, what do you

469
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 2: suppose happens to the brain around age eighty? They would say,

470
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 2: what the hell are you talking about? Why do you care?

471
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah?

472
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 2: Are you going to become disillusioned with life at age

473
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: forty five? Forty five? Who do you know is forty five?

474
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: Says the caveman, Right, yeah, yeah, And if they are, so,

475
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: what if you'll excuse me, there's a tiger chewing on

476
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: my leg.

477
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 2: But if you have imposter syndrome, I would say, if

478
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 2: Conan O'Brien still has imposter syndrome, you ain't getting rid

479
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 2: of yours either, no matter what you achieved.

480
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: That's what I learned. Oh yeah, yeah, you know, I

481
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: became aware that. Well, I suppose I can go ahead

482
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: and say it. My daughter, like so many of us,

483
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: has a bit of that. And we are touring law

484
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: school the other day and the two fabulous young women

485
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: who were taking us around on the tour admitted to

486
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: flaming imposters syndrome. And they're so sweet. They said, everybody

487
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: has it. Everybody has it, don't worry about it. You

488
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: can do this, You'll be fine. And it was great,

489
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: and I think more people need to know that. I

490
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: tried to teach my kids that, you.

491
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: Know that feeling you're big success, Well, dad has it

492
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: every day every day.

493
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. Fake it till you make it seriously.

494
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: But it's hard to convince people. They think, Oh, you're

495
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: just saying that to make me feel better, right. I

496
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: remember an interview I saw with Paul Begala.

497
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 2: He is one of the people that got Bill Clinton

498
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 2: elected president, and he was talking about what was like

499
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 2: to be at the White House and walk in there

500
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 2: every single day, and he said, if you don't walk

501
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 2: into the White House every day with imposter syndrome, there's

502
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: something seriously wrong with you. Because everybody feels like I

503
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 2: can't believe I'm here. Why am I here? Of all people?

504
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 2: Me right right?

505
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: I am not good enough for this, I am not

506
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: important enough for this. I see the ghost of you know,

507
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: Thomas Jefferson standing there in the corner. Hi, Tom, did

508
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: you see the game last night?

509
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 2: So I bet again? Kind of getting to the other

510
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 2: side of it, I feel like I have known some

511
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 2: people who don't seem like they've ever had any self

512
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: doubt one second in their lives. And are they just

513
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 2: in it off really well or do they actually not

514
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 2: ever have any self doubt?

515
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: I think those people probably exist. Katie, your your opinion.

516
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: I just think, don't think there are many.

517
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 3: I feel like if you hmm, I feel like they're

518
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 3: probably just hiding it. Well, it's like a natural, a

519
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 3: natural thing for someone to feel.

520
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I would guess eighty percent of the

521
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: people you perceive are that way are faking it, and

522
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: maybe twenty percent of those people actually have whatever genetic

523
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: gift it is to be, you know, super comfortable and

524
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: no impostor syndrome. I you know, I didn't really have

525
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: it until I became an adult, and I get I

526
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: don't know.

527
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: I don't know either, but it's partially because I hadn't

528
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 2: achieved anything. So what would I be an impostor about?

529
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: I was just going to say.

530
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: As I kept running into things that were increasingly difficult,

531
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: I would think, oh boy, I could I could really

532
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: fail at this? Does anybody around here realize I could

533
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: completely fail at this?

534
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 2: I still Katie because I wear a suit to work

535
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 2: most days. I still like walking down the street in

536
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 2: a suit. Feel like people could look at me and say,

537
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 2: what was that guy to wearing a suit for? He's

538
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 2: not a suit guy trying to kids about you? Right?

539
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 2: You just could tell by looking at me that's not

540
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 2: a guy who wears a suit kind of act.

541
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 5: Is that?

542
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 2: Hey, you think he borrowed that suit or stay or

543
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 2: someone's trying to impress.

544
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: Look at the dip in the suit trying the kid right, exactly,

545
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: That's what I think.

546
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe Strong and Getty show. But I

547
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 2: mentioned the David Copperfield show that we went to the

548
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 2: Magician and how he was working too sexy for a

549
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 2: show with lots of kids. There lots of kids younger

550
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 2: than my kids. Of course, the younger kids didn't get

551
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 2: some of the jokes. But like he asked a dad,

552
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 2: stand up, sir, here, you're your wife and your kids.

553
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 2: When's the last time you and your wife had sex

554
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 2: in front of their kids? Wait? What? Okay? And the

555
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 2: last time you had it? So seven days ago? He

556
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 2: writes down the number seven for the trick, and last

557
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 2: time he had sex. How long did the session last?

558
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 2: And dad says twenty minutes. But I'm not answering that

559
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 2: question in front of my kids. It's weird.

560
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 3: I'm gonna start calling sex the session from now on,

561
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 3: and he sam for a session, honey, a fantastic session.

562
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: Maybe the rich old bastard just figures. I got one act.

563
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: I'm not changing it for these bunch of rugrats. I

564
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: actually told my kids that it was a thing with aging.

565
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes when people get old, they just kind of lose

566
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: track of what's appropriate and what's not. Because that's true, right,

567
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: and I think he might be there. You'd think some

568
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: of the world's most famous performers would have figured that

569
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: out by now, or had people.

570
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 2: He's hell, he's hell old. The thing that made me

571
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 2: laugh the hardest. And I couldn't say this on the show.

572
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 2: It's inappropriate, and I know some of you don't like

573
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 2: this language. So part of the deal he was he

574
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: made this. It's a long drawn out story, but he's

575
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 2: got this little Yoda baby Yoda type character or whatever,

576
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 2: and trying to get him home. Anyway, all of a sudden,

577
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 2: we're all staring at the ceiling, and all of a sudden,

578
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 2: a spaceship appears and it's floating around. He said, look

579
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: at that a spaceship. That made me laugh. But anyway,

580
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 2: so the other thing we did was we went to

581
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 2: the sphere and that's the great big Giant ball. If

582
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: you haven't heard anything about it, it got a lot

583
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 2: of attention when it first opened because you two played there.

584
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 2: But it's not just a concert venue. In fact, I

585
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 2: don't think it's primarily going to be a concert venue.

586
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 2: I think it's mostly going to be like movies and

587
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 2: stuff like that. And so we watched this movie about

588
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 2: planet Earth and the Big Bang, and it was an

589
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: opportunity to show you oceans and mountains and deserts. And

590
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 2: I did get a little bit uh carsick motion sickness

591
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: because you're floating around all this stuff and it's so giant.

592
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: It's I forget how many K it was, eighteen K

593
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 2: screen boy, and yeah, no way, I'm going to this

594
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 2: eighteen K screen. I mean that the vertigo of sitting

595
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 2: like at the top of vertical stands. Yeah, it's like

596
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 2: walking up a mountain in one hundred and seventy thousand

597
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: speakers and it's really remove it all. Yes, so that's cool.

598
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 2: So when the elephants come stomping through, the base is

599
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: like unlike anything you've ever heard before. I mean even

600
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: a great concert. The base is just stunning. And then

601
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 2: the seats move too, so you get a full Like

602
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 2: the elephants are stomping through, it's loud and you're kind

603
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 2: of bouncing around. M It sort of sounds like sensory overload. Yeah. Yeah,

604
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: And I got a kid with sensory issues, so he

605
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 2: was he actually holding my hand the whole show.

606
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: Yes, Joe, did the those woofers? Did they hit the

607
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: brown note? The brown notice a note that all bassists

608
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: know about, and that is a particular note if your

609
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: amp is set up just right, that can cause people

610
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: to poop themselves.

611
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 2: But the other thing they had at the sphere, and

612
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: I was thinking about this because there is an article

613
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 2: in the Wall Street Journal.

614
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: We'll talk about this on the radiation. Stop giggling. Look, Katie,

615
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: the audience does not responding. They're a bad audience. You

616
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: know what, You as the bass player, you're in charge

617
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: of punishing them.

618
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 3: I expect more, Joe.

619
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 2: See, That's that's what's so delightful about me, you know,

620
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 2: be so many colors, so many different.

621
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: Levels of humor.

622
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 2: Before I move on to the AI thing. Back to

623
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: the Sphere show. So I'm sitting there and and I

624
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: was trying to decide how I'm going to talk about

625
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 2: this so I don't get myself in trouble with various groups.

626
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 2: I'm not going to mention the group but it became

627
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 2: clear to me that culturally, and this is another country

628
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 2: because they don't speak English. Culturally, some people just talk

629
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 2: through shows because they were all from a certain area

630
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 2: of the world, and they just talked through the entire

631
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 2: show and giving them the look. But they were just

632
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: so engrossed and out loud like regular voice, not even

633
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 2: whispering like regular voice conversation, that I thought this, this

634
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 2: is clearly a cultural thing. This isn't a wow, This

635
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 2: isn't a couple of rude people who need to be

636
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 2: reminded to be quiet. They come from a part of

637
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 2: the world where you just talk through shows. I guess

638
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 2: so in these parts of the world that I won't

639
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 2: mention because I don't want to get in trouble. If

640
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 2: you go to a movie theater, is everybody just sitting

641
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 2: there talking out loud through the whole movie? Because that's

642
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 2: why I was happening here. You think he's gonna kiss her,

643
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: I keep expecting her to kiss her.

644
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 4: I don't know.

645
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 3: Good on you for figures, you know, having that thought

646
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 3: process prior to telling him to shut the hell up.

647
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 2: Well, they wouldn't have understood me because they clearly didn't

648
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 2: speak English. But Yeah, a couple of young couple sitting

649
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 2: beside me, and then a couple of older people behind me,

650
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 2: all from similar part of the world, and they just

651
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 2: talked fully out loud the whole show, even in like

652
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 2: super quiet parts, dramatic parts and everything like that. Just

653
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 2: so do blas and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Weird.

654
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 2: I guess that's just a cultural thing. In the United States,

655
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 2: we were quiet during shows, some might say respectful of

656
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 2: other people's experience.

657
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: You know, I totally get why you did what you did.

658
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: It sounds super cool. You got kids. They need to

659
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: have experiences and see the world. Blah blah blah. They

660
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: have been exactly when you were there doing that. Judy

661
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: and I were walking through the woods taking pictures of birds,

662
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: and I am so happy that that's what I was doing. Yes,

663
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: I was spectacle at all.

664
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 2: I was actually thinking watching this thing at the sphere.

665
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 2: I'm not sure while why anybody would ever need to

666
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 2: go anywhere or do anything. Ever again, if this becomes normal,

667
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 2: it was the the clarity of the eighteen K screen,

668
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 2: the sound and all encompassing. I don't know why I

669
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: would need to walk inside one of those great big

670
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 2: cathedrals in Europe. I had the full I've been to one,

671
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 2: so I know I don't have smello vision yet. This

672
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 2: is the first time I've ever had the awe feeling

673
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 2: that you get from doing things in person from a screen,

674
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 2: and I thought, I think they finally replicated the in

675
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 2: person experience for seeing a sunset being on the ocean.

676
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: What interesting.

677
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 4: Now?

678
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: You are are famously hard of smelling, heard of tasting.

679
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: You don't taste things normally, okay.

680
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 2: Which I think has to do with zero factory center

681
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 2: in your brain or something like that.

682
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 1: I disagree. You've got to have the smell, you've got

683
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: to have the humidity, You've got to have the feeling

684
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 1: of the air in a place interesting to really experience it.

685
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 2: Anyway, So I read the mustiness of an old church,

686
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 2: even the dusty. Yes, the smell of the hymnals Thanks

687
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 2: get pretty musty after a session day.

688
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: Am I talking in this voice? I don't know. I'm

689
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: going to ignore that attempted humor.

690
00:34:55,920 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe Armstrong and get shall
