0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:05.680
<v Speaker 1>This is the Armstrong and Getty Show, featuring our podcast

0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:09.160
<v Speaker 1>one more Thing, get it wherever you like to get podcasts.

0:00:09.400 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Reminds me for some reason, you saying that Katie when

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:19.840
<v Speaker 2>I was single and childless. Thank you. What is her name, Gladys?

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 2>I want to sorry, Gladys. I want to call her Lola.

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 2>For some reason, Lola doesn't play the harp. Thank you,

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Gladys for laying the harp of me reminiscing about something

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:32.159
<v Speaker 2>when I was a single and childless. There were a

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 2>few weekends where I would realize on Monday morning, as

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm driving to work to do the radio show, that

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I hadn't said a word since I left work on Friday,

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 2>because I hadn't interacted with another human being at all.

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I just saidn't a word to anybody. Hmmm. I don't

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 2>really know what to say to that.

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:56.560
<v Speaker 1>What percentage of the population can make that same claim

0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I did not interact with another human being the entire weekend,

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>did not speak a word. It's fairly limited, I would guess,

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 1>but you know you do you what would you guess?

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 1>And if you as angry hermit.

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 2>I would guess that both my brothers have done it.

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Semi regularly recently with their kids older and out of

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the house, Like not even a phone call, Like that's bizarre.

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Nobody talks on the phone. And I don't know if

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 2>that's a good example. Now back in the day, No,

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 2>we're talking back in the day.

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:31.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right, you had Gladys play the damn harp, then

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.400
<v Speaker 1>you called her Lola, and now we're in the present day.

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 1>On what's going on here?

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Somebody explained the crowd roles. Have we all lost.

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 1>What does Walter say in The Big Lebowski something about it?

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>We all lost our minds? Nobody cares about the rules anymore.

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 2>How much of an outliar do you think I am?

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 2>You think I'm in the one percent of the population

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 2>that has ever done that? Or it's fewer than five

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 2>five pretty small.

0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 1>No, it's not five. It's one to one to two

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and a half.

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's probably good for you. I also

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 2>had to do with like, like, you know, I have

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 2>a really big Friday night, maybe a long watching movies

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 2>or something, and you don't feel so good on Saturday,

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.679
<v Speaker 2>maybe part of Sunday. You just don't leave the house.

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 2>You order a pizza. You know, it might be an

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 2>exaggeration to have not said a word to anybody. Might

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 2>have said thanks to the pizza guy when he handed

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>me to pizza, but it wouldn't have been more than

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:26.800
<v Speaker 2>a couple of words.

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh, in this day and age, even with phones, I've

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 3>done that where you take the recovery day, you turn

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 3>the phone off.

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, So think about this though. The younger crowd

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 2>now with their lifestyle, like you know our producer Sean

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, I'll but he had weekends where he never

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 2>said a word to anybody other than through maybe a

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 2>headset playing video games or a number of young people.

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Now that you know you can DoorDash or whatever, you

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 2>don't have to call anybody to order food or something. Ill,

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.399
<v Speaker 2>but it happens more often than you think. It'd still

0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 2>be a small number. It makes me sad. All I

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 2>know is we're moving more than that direction then away

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 2>from it, I would guess.

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Which is good. You can see all the statistics on

0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>how happy and care free young people are these days.

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't think I ever came out of a

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.679
<v Speaker 2>weekend like thinking that was like a really good time,

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.079
<v Speaker 2>or what an awesome weekend that was, or something I'm

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 2>not claiming that see.

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.919
<v Speaker 3>And I'm of the day and age of cell phones

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 3>and whatnot, and it's amazing the hoops I will jump

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 3>through to avoid having to talk to somebody else. Yeah,

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 3>like you know, scheduling appointments online, ordering online, all that stuff.

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.400
<v Speaker 3>I would much rather do that than have to call

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:34.359
<v Speaker 3>and interact with someone.

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I avoid it now, not because I don't want

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 2>to talk to it. If I thought I could talk

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>to human being, i'd call right away. I don't want

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 2>to call and get your impossible to use automated phone

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 2>system that takes me twenty minutes and doesn't work. I'll

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 2>see if I can do it online. And the reason

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 2>it takes twenty minutes and doesn't work is because you

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 2>want me to do it online because it's the cheapest

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.760
<v Speaker 2>thing for you. But that's a different topic. A couple

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 2>of quick things here. I just came across this. Don't

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 2>usually talk about this sort of thing on this podcast.

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 2>This money circulating in US is expanding rapidly. We have

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 2>a money supply surge going on right now. It's the

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 2>highest level in over a year. They think that will

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:19.920
<v Speaker 2>likely lead to inflation surging higher. Don't like that story.

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>It ought to if the laws of monetary physics are

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 1>still true, and they are.

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.600
<v Speaker 2>And then this one. This is an actual survey. This

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 2>isn't one of those done by According to walkintubs dot com,

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 2>older people always look at who paid for the survey.

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 2>A lot of time surveys have just the crap because

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 2>of who they paid for. This is actual research done

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 2>by a team of German researches in Germany and the

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 2>United States Journal of Psychology. Stuff about how what where

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 2>we think old age begins has been moving higher. This

0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:02.039
<v Speaker 2>is not surprising at all. Last lie, that's when do

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:07.039
<v Speaker 2>you think old age began for you? Yes? Absolutely, last time.

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I screwed up my back.

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 1>Oh really it started the shuffling like I'm ninety and

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 1>it's a lot better now.

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 2>But that ill, that has a lot to do with it,

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:17.719
<v Speaker 2>because I was gonna mention my mom and dad have

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.279
<v Speaker 2>different numbers on that, and for those reasons, my mom's

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.720
<v Speaker 2>physical health is not near where my dad's is. So

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what she would say, but she would

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 2>probably say old age starts. Well, I can tell you

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 2>the average now is seventy five. If you actually ask

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:35.080
<v Speaker 2>a senior, when does old age begin? It's now seventy five.

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Seventy five is the new sixty five, because it used

0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.159
<v Speaker 2>to be not that many years ago. People said old

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.360
<v Speaker 2>age started at sixty five. Now that would seem kind

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 2>of crazy, I think for a lot of people. Yea,

0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 2>for me, it started at forty eight. That when you

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 2>start hurting yourself, you know, just doing the most basic

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.919
<v Speaker 2>things like walking or something. Yeah. I was just in

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 2>the lunch room in one of the saleswomen who is

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.360
<v Speaker 2>now in her forties, was talking about all forties or

0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 2>not what I thought they would be talking about trying

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 2>to work out, and she keeps getting hurt and blah

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 2>blah blah. Yeah, but so now it's seventy five is

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.240
<v Speaker 2>both sixty five. My dad says eighty eighties when old

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.840
<v Speaker 2>age starts, but that's because he was still riding his

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 2>horse up till eighty two. My mom has not been

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.359
<v Speaker 2>as physically as gifted as him and would put it

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 2>a little earlier, but probably about surprisingly.

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:21.719
<v Speaker 1>The horse was seventy five. What it's an old horse,

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:22.280
<v Speaker 1>shoe horse?

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:23.919
<v Speaker 2>When are you going to get off of me? That

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.360
<v Speaker 2>is the question. When do I have when do I

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 2>get to be an old age? That do only makes sense.

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 2>I suppose life expectancy and help. But my mom regularly

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:35.720
<v Speaker 2>says when she was a kid, people in their sixties

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 2>were considered old. You that you were done with life

0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 2>in your sixties. Nobody would have thought you played golf

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.719
<v Speaker 2>or rode a horse or rode bikes or vacationed or

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 2>anything in your sixties.

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>You were just like a new career.

0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:50.159
<v Speaker 2>You were just in a rocking chair in your sixties,

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:53.480
<v Speaker 2>which now, of course, seems crazy. You're the youngest amongst

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Katie and he thoughts on this or does everything over

0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 2>the age of forty five just seem ancient to you?

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 3>No, both my parent parents are in their early to

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 3>mid seventies, and they're both young as can be, So

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't even think seventy five is old in my perspective.

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 2>And I, dude, everything started hurting on me last year.

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 3>And I had a stroke when I was thirty one,

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 3>so I'm ninety.

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 1>That's why we get along, so I had all better.

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.160
<v Speaker 2>Having a stroke at thirty one would change your view

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 2>of it. I didn't have any health situation really at

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:29.600
<v Speaker 2>all until I got cancer at forty nine. But dude,

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 2>my health went nuts at twenty nine.

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 3>A kidney problem came up out of nowhere a quote

0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 3>mutated gene. I have a hereditary condition that is a

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 3>mutated gene because nobody else in my family has it.

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 3>And then I stroked out in twenty twenty. It was wild,

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 3>have no idea what caused that the stroke? Yeah, well

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 3>it was a mixture of not taking care of myself

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 3>in stress. Okay, they said, oh really, but some of

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 3>it was in your control. Yeah, I just I wasn't

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:02.040
<v Speaker 3>exercising at all. Obese big time?

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Were you really? I can't picture you obese at all?

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Two hundred and ten pounds? Were you really? This is

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 2>new information, so that that's why you're always talking about

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 2>working out and you eat so healthy. Yeah, I had

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 2>I had to make a change.

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 3>The doctors were like, this you do They actually call

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 3>said that I dodged a bullet because I had three

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 3>tias over the course.

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Of a week.

0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, Well it'll get your attention, want it?

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah? Huge? Kind of like what I mean.

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.559
<v Speaker 3>Michael Angelo had had the big shock diabetes diagnosis and

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 3>had to make a complete change on his life.

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Eye opening. That's why I've been saying for a long

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 2>time that I'd like to have a minor heart attack.

0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Come on, yeah, I think a minor heart attack would

0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.160
<v Speaker 2>get my attention and I wouldn't need donuts and stuff anymore.

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't want a major heart attack and don't want

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 2>to die. I got kids to raise. But I think

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 2>a minor heart attack just a little a huh, like

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 2>flicking my ear huh. Wake up.

0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, good luck with that plan. That's between you and

0:08:56.400 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>the almighty, who you'll be meeting sooner than later. But

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 1>that's an interesting way to approach life. Note to self,

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 1>take blood pressure this afternoon. Yes, oh yeah, it's always

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:12.480
<v Speaker 1>a good idea. One final note on brain health, because

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 1>during your little screen about not having contact with any

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 1>human being for an entire weekend, you know, so much

0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 1>of what we are is neurologically pre determined, honestly, and

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.400
<v Speaker 1>if you're a neurological outsider or outlier, you just are.

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 1>And you can, as I always say, you can operate

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.120
<v Speaker 1>within a certain narrowish lane of the way you're made.

0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 1>You can intentionally be more outgoing because you know it's

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 1>good for you, blah blah blah, but you are who

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 1>you are. Having said that, we were talking about handwriting

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 1>and why so many states are trying to bring back

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 1>handwriting incursive. I was intrigued because there wasn't a lot

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.840
<v Speaker 1>of information in the article we had, and I was

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 1>reading into it. And apparently, according to neuropsychologists, there's something

0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 1>about handwriting that involves all sorts of of different parts

0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 1>of your brain that govern language and creativity and physical

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.600
<v Speaker 1>stuff and whatever, and they all have to interconnect and

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:16.439
<v Speaker 1>work together to yield handwriting and it's really good for

0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:19.000
<v Speaker 1>your brain. Well, I mean, it's a use it or

0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 1>lose it thing with your brain.

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:25.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm completely aware of that, and of just the idea

0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 2>of that's why journaling and that sort of stuff is

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 2>so important. There's something about writing down thoughts that can

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.440
<v Speaker 2>get them out of your head and arrange them in

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 2>ways that they don't get arranged otherwise. And people have

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.680
<v Speaker 2>known this for centuries and if you don't do it,

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 2>you should try it. I do it every day, sometimes

0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 2>twice a day. But writing things down organizes them in

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.520
<v Speaker 2>your head or gets them out of your head, like

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.199
<v Speaker 2>if you got to you know, why do I keep

0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 2>thinking about this thing that's driving me nuts? Write it

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.520
<v Speaker 2>down a couple of times and it can go away.

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Trust me, I've done it. I don't know how many times,

0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:57.880
<v Speaker 2>but I do they know that printing doesn't do the

0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 2>same thing as cursive because I print, I've had success

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.200
<v Speaker 2>with it. And that's why I just don't understand why

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:07.400
<v Speaker 2>they're bringing back cursive specifically. I really can't imagine why

0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 2>it would be different. I can't.

0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, which doesn't mean that it's not. I

0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 1>just can't imagine.

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:13.920
<v Speaker 2>One question that I don't think they've answered, because I've

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.760
<v Speaker 2>looked into this and read some stuff about it. They're

0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:21.760
<v Speaker 2>not sure if typing works the same way as I

0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:25.320
<v Speaker 2>was just talking about or not, because you are picking

0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 2>specific letters and having to manipulate your fingers and everything

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:28.319
<v Speaker 2>like that.

0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, and what about playing a musical instrument And

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.679
<v Speaker 1>although you can't compel a kid to play the guitar,

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 1>but you can have them right in school and it's

0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.720
<v Speaker 1>good for the brains.

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 2>They've brought back. If you didn't hear us talking about this,

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 2>they brought back cursive, I think down twenty two states,

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.319
<v Speaker 2>and I just wondered, why, what's the argument for it.

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm seeing that curse. According to the Google cursive.

0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Engages more areas of the brain than when you print.

0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 2>I if that's true. It's true. I do know because

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.439
<v Speaker 2>I know some of these people. There's just a hanging

0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.679
<v Speaker 2>on the cursive because I've always done it. I'm good

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 2>at it, and my grandma did it. That's why that

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 2>drives some of it. But if it's better for you,

0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.600
<v Speaker 2>it's better for you, and I'm fine with that. All

0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:20.360
<v Speaker 2>I know is.

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 1>That the environment of the beast, the human beast, is

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 1>evolving at five thousand times the speed that the beast

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:29.800
<v Speaker 1>can adapt to it.

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, probably more like five hundred thousand times of speed.

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:36.840
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, all right, how about five million times?

0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 2>But the point being, yeah, what are we going to

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:42.080
<v Speaker 2>do with that?

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I was hoping he'd say, yeah, how about fifty million times?

0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.439
<v Speaker 2>Uh, And we're not even close to how fast it's

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 2>going to go as soon as AI and everything kicks in.

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:55.400
<v Speaker 1>So well, we're all doomed, doomed to insanity, misery, drug addiction,

0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:56.920
<v Speaker 1>public fornication.

0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Who knows we who knows you wish public tornication? Maybe

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.960
<v Speaker 2>some babies would be born. So if I was one

0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 2>percent of the population that didn't talk to anybody over

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.680
<v Speaker 2>the weekend, that number will be seventy five percent here

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 2>in about ten years.

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I think and the survivors will write that history, but

0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 1>not incursive because the brains have stuffed working. That's something too.

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Funny not to end on strong. This was actually real.

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Remember this promo. I never watched the show bad The

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 2>most horrifying dumpy attack Heather caught on.

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Team That was when animals attack, right, that was in

0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 1>the heyday of when Big Fox went with like super

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 1>pandery shows like when animals attack in celebrity boxing and stuff.

0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, that would so the world's most terrifying donkey attack

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:57.120
<v Speaker 2>caught on tape, Yes, the most horrifying dumpy Heather caught

0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:57.520
<v Speaker 2>on tape.

0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, not like a somewhat horrifying one of your second

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.960
<v Speaker 1>or third most horrifying donkey attacks. They got the mcgillo,

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.199
<v Speaker 1>they got the the all time champ.

0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:11.319
<v Speaker 2>The most horrifying donkey attack, right, take the top five,

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:13.199
<v Speaker 2>take that other s and get it out of here.

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Your marginally dangerous donkey exactly somewhat horrifying donkey attacks.

0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh watch that.

0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry. That's also when they were doing the Man

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:29.920
<v Speaker 2>versus Beast, which I loved. That was so.

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Crap horrific.

0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:37.040
<v Speaker 2>We're so funny. Then Michael against a shark too. Yeah,

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.240
<v Speaker 2>that was that was more reason. But Katie, this is

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:40.880
<v Speaker 2>when you were but a wee girl.

0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:45.600
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, Fox Big Fox used to do some great idiotic,

0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 1>pandering TV shows.

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 2>They had whoever was the current fastest runner raced a

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 2>giraffe I think for inexplicable reasons, and a guy what

0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.560
<v Speaker 2>did he wrestle up there? Oh, he tried to out

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.480
<v Speaker 2>eat It was a hot dog eating Tobyashi at the

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 2>time before Joey Chestnut, the top hotdog eater in the world.

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Kobyashi tried to played a hot talks faster than a

0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:15.200
<v Speaker 2>and the bear just like just went like golden entertainment.

0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh it was, it was. It was terrible because they'd

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:22.520
<v Speaker 1>show like the only really good piece of footage to

0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:24.680
<v Speaker 1>promote it and at the beginning and over and over again.

0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Then you had to wait till the end of the

0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 1>show and sit through, you know, just just stupidity.

0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, and the animals usually won, like just very easily

0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.040
<v Speaker 2>as you would expect. There was some NFL linemen or

0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.320
<v Speaker 2>some big tough guy who did a tuggle war with

0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:38.120
<v Speaker 2>the Ryan Attack.

0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I'd forgotten about that one. Oh this is good stuff.

0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Stupid show. I just remember you had the guy in

0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 2>the giraffe and they released him and the guys run

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:56.800
<v Speaker 2>as fast again in the giraffe just disappeared. What's the

0:15:56.800 --> 0:16:00.800
<v Speaker 2>point of this? When Animals Attack was on for weeks,

0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:07.000
<v Speaker 2>that was an ongoing show, right, That was the heyday

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.480
<v Speaker 2>of Fox. Bring that back. I think they just ran

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:10.280
<v Speaker 2>out of ideas.

0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:14.240
<v Speaker 1>And sometimes they'd have real footage, but because not everybody

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 1>had a cell phone at that point and ring cameras

0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:21.480
<v Speaker 1>weren't omnipresent, it was a lot of reenactments, very disciplined.

0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't care how good your reenactment is, it's not

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.640
<v Speaker 1>the same as actual footage.

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:33.080

<v Speaker 2>and then went on to write for The Simpsons and

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.200

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.239
<v Speaker 2>with all that success, I think he's more successful now

0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:07.479
<v Speaker 2>at age sixty than he's ever been in his career.

0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.200
<v Speaker 2>He just sold his podcast De Lli O to Serious

<v Speaker 2>XM FORO one hundred and fifty million dollars, and he's

0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:16.560
<v Speaker 2>got millions of people that tune into his various works now,

0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.400
<v Speaker 2>so good for him. Funny guy, creative guy. An interesting

0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:23.960
<v Speaker 2>thing about his personality that I heard in an interview

0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:25.399
<v Speaker 2>I want to bring up, but first let's hear a

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 2>clip of him on The Tonight Show last night with

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Fallon, first time he'd been back to The Tonight

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Show since he got it taken away from him back

0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:32.480
<v Speaker 2>in the day.

0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:36.359
<v Speaker 4>This really nice young guy in a white shirt in

0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.880
<v Speaker 4>a baseball cap starts chatting with me, and he's saying,

0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.359
<v Speaker 4>you know, Conan and I love the podcast, and so

0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:43.000
<v Speaker 4>I really love the old late night clips. I watch

0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:44.760
<v Speaker 4>him all the time, and you know, I also really

0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:46.320
<v Speaker 4>like the stuff you did with the Simpsons.

0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:47.520
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, he's so nice.

0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm saying, thank you so much.

0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:51.720
<v Speaker 4>Then we both go through the TSA thing. He goes through.

0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:53.639
<v Speaker 4>I go through. I collect all my stuff, you know,

0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:55.480
<v Speaker 4>the way you're kind of distracted. I put my belt on,

0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:57.800
<v Speaker 4>get my shoes back on, I turn around, see the

0:17:57.800 --> 0:17:59.640
<v Speaker 4>guy white shirt hat, and I go, you know what,

0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:02.600
<v Speaker 4>let's do selfie. Come on, come on, do selfie. And

0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:06.679
<v Speaker 4>the guy goes, okay, let's go your knucklehead, and I

0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:08.640
<v Speaker 4>get I'm like in a headlock. Yeah, and he does

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:10.720
<v Speaker 4>a selfie and just as he's taking it, I look,

0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:15.880
<v Speaker 4>my guy's over there. This is just a guy who's

0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:20.200
<v Speaker 4>also wearing a white shirt in a baseball cap, which

0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:24.400
<v Speaker 4>is pretty eff in common. So rewind that story now

0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:27.240
<v Speaker 4>and see it from his point of view. He's waiting

0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.560
<v Speaker 4>for his wife to come through. Connor O'Brien comes through

0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:43.440
<v Speaker 4>and he's like, hey, Sephie, get.

0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:45.280
<v Speaker 2>That I'm talking about. And I told.

0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:46.960
<v Speaker 4>The guy I feel so, but you can delete it,

0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:48.880
<v Speaker 4>and he was looked like he was on the fence

0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:53.119
<v Speaker 4>about deleting it. I felt terrible, but I love moments

0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:55.320
<v Speaker 4>like that where I'm go right back down to whatever

0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:56.520
<v Speaker 4>you think you've achieved in life.

0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Me there's a guy who thinks I met Connor O'Brian.

0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:01.520
<v Speaker 4>He's just an insane a hole.

0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:08.320
<v Speaker 2>That would be confusing. You're standing there, Conor Brian all

0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:09.280
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden shows.

0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:19.760
<v Speaker 5>Up, What what? Okay, that's a great story, Oh lord?

0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:21.240
<v Speaker 5>And well told.

0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:22.640
<v Speaker 1>God.

0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:26.919
<v Speaker 2>Conan O'Brien flying commercial and taking off his belt and shoes.

0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, when was that or does he still do that? Maybe?

0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, Yeah, I wonder does He doesn't even

0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:38.640
<v Speaker 2>ts a PreCheck. It's not that expensive, man. So one

0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:41.440
<v Speaker 2>thing I want to did you so Conan O'Brien's probably

0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:45.000
<v Speaker 2>really closer to your era, Katie as being the big

0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:48.320
<v Speaker 2>late night king in ours? Yeah? Oh yeah, huge. I

0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:50.440
<v Speaker 2>love him. I think he's hysterically funny.

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:50.960
<v Speaker 4>He is.

0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:55.280
<v Speaker 2>He is a funny, funny guy. Yeah.

0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:57.800
<v Speaker 3>I love watching his stuff where he goes out in

0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:00.560
<v Speaker 3>the public and just messes with people. He's got a

0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 3>great series on YouTube were I think if you just

0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:05.600
<v Speaker 3>type in Conan he has his own channel and it's

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:07.719
<v Speaker 3>just all this stuff of him with like Kevin Hart

0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:09.200
<v Speaker 3>having the intern drive and.

0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Just completely screwing with her the whole time. It's just wonderful. Yeah,

0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:15.880
<v Speaker 2>and uh what another Conan. The thing is, Oh, I've

0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:19.959
<v Speaker 2>heard Adam Sandler on a different podcast talking about how

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.680
<v Speaker 2>when Conan So, Conan was a writer there and a

0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:24.680
<v Speaker 2>lot of those big stars from Sarah and Live were there,

0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:26.639
<v Speaker 2>and then when Conan got his own show, they were

0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:28.439
<v Speaker 2>all so excited for him because they all liked him,

0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:32.200
<v Speaker 2>and Adam Sandler and David Spadeen, Chris Farlane, all those

0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:34.920
<v Speaker 2>people went over to somebody's house to watch his first

0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:36.720
<v Speaker 2>show because they were all so excited that he was

0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:40.520
<v Speaker 2>getting his big shot to be a big deal, and uh,

0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:41.800
<v Speaker 2>I need it turned out to be a big deal.

0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 2>And like I've mentioned a few times, he just sold

0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:46.920
<v Speaker 2>his podcast for one hundred and fifty million dollars. Too serious.

0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 2>After all his success, so good for him. But even

0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:55.679
<v Speaker 2>with all that, he was on some buddy else's show

0:20:55.880 --> 0:21:00.000
<v Speaker 2>and talking about how and I think this is true

0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:02.760
<v Speaker 2>for a lot of people, how no matter what has

0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:04.719
<v Speaker 2>happened in his life, he's still the same guy who

0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:07.240
<v Speaker 2>was in high school. When in high school he was

0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:11.159
<v Speaker 2>a very awkward, not very well liked, weirdo with not

0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:13.560
<v Speaker 2>very many friends. And he said he's still that, he

0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:18.000
<v Speaker 2>still sees himself that way. He's still always uncomfortable. He

0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.480
<v Speaker 2>just he said he doesn't at this point, he's sixty

0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:23.159
<v Speaker 2>years old. He doesn't expect anything will ever change that. So,

0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:27.280
<v Speaker 2>no level of crowds, cheering money, success, anything has changed

0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:30.040
<v Speaker 2>to he was in high school and even without the

0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:31.840
<v Speaker 2>crowd's money and everything like that. I feel the same

0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:36.480
<v Speaker 2>way too. So why is who we were in high

0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:38.560
<v Speaker 2>school baked into who we are for the rest of

0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:40.800
<v Speaker 2>our lives. Whose cruel trick was that?

0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I guess back when I would have been a cave boy,

0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:49.879
<v Speaker 1>it just didn't matter. Life was so completely different for

0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:52.280
<v Speaker 1>the first ninety nine point nine nine nine nine nine

0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:56.560
<v Speaker 1>percent of mankind's existence. It was, you know, all right, look,

0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:59.800
<v Speaker 1>you're you're of breeding age, you're a fighting age, you're

0:21:59.840 --> 0:22:02.439
<v Speaker 1>of tracking down a mast to done, putting a spirit

0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:02.920
<v Speaker 1>of age.

0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:05.239
<v Speaker 2>Let's get this done. When you're gonna be dead by

0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:09.560
<v Speaker 2>age twenty four most likely. Yeah, yeah, so it didn't matter.

0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:13.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're searching for yourself at age forty eight as

0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:16.240
<v Speaker 1>a cave man. Well that's a rarity.

0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:20.399
<v Speaker 5>I just don't know who I am.

0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:23.119
<v Speaker 2>I've seen it work both ways too. I've known a

0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:26.760
<v Speaker 2>few people that were big deals in high school and

0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:29.520
<v Speaker 2>adult life has not worked out for them that well,

0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:32.320
<v Speaker 2>but they still see themselves as the big deal, and

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:35.440
<v Speaker 2>it just it's kind of weird to be around.

0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:39.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, you don't I look that great for you,

0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:41.879
<v Speaker 1>But okay, good for you. Well, I still got the

0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:46.119
<v Speaker 1>nose in the air congrats looking good.

0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:49.000
<v Speaker 3>Makes it hard to feel bad for them, though, right right, right, right?

0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't Yeah, I suppose so I don't recall

0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:55.440
<v Speaker 2>running into anybody who really answered to that description recently,

0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:57.359
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I don't know.

0:22:57.400 --> 0:22:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I think I would pity them all the more. But again,

0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I haven't rushed up against them, so I don't know.

0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:04.479
<v Speaker 1>But getting back to the whole caveman thing, So I guess,

0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:06.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, typical if you're going to have like a

0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:11.399
<v Speaker 1>midnight a midlife crisis, or you know, what am I doing?

0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Why am I doing this? Is this how I want

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:14.919
<v Speaker 1>to spend the rest of my life? It'd be like

0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 1>at age seventeen as a caveman, right right, all of

0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:23.719
<v Speaker 1>this eating meat and sitting around a fire.

0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:26.800
<v Speaker 2>And I wonder if that's the biggest problem, If that's

0:23:26.840 --> 0:23:30.040
<v Speaker 2>the biggest problem modern humans have is our brains and

0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:34.600
<v Speaker 2>consciousness just was not designed to go past like hardly

0:23:34.640 --> 0:23:42.800
<v Speaker 2>past age twenty. Breed, win a battle, die next, right, right, Yeah.

0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:49.280
<v Speaker 2>And I'd imagine if there were scientists fifty thousand years ago,

0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:51.240
<v Speaker 2>if you were to say to them, what do you

0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:55.800
<v Speaker 2>suppose happens to the brain around age eighty? They would say,

0:23:56.600 --> 0:23:59.639
<v Speaker 2>what the hell are you talking about? Why do you care?

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Right? Yeah?

0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Are you going to become disillusioned with life at age

0:24:06.880 --> 0:24:09.760
<v Speaker 2>forty five? Forty five? Who do you know is forty five?

0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Says the caveman, Right, yeah, yeah, And if they are, so,

0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:16.960
<v Speaker 1>what if you'll excuse me, there's a tiger chewing on

0:24:17.040 --> 0:24:17.440
<v Speaker 1>my leg.

0:24:18.240 --> 0:24:20.720
<v Speaker 2>But if you have imposter syndrome, I would say, if

0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Conan O'Brien still has imposter syndrome, you ain't getting rid

0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:25.800
<v Speaker 2>of yours either, no matter what you achieved.

0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:28.080
<v Speaker 1>That's what I learned. Oh yeah, yeah, you know, I

0:24:28.359 --> 0:24:32.040
<v Speaker 1>became aware that. Well, I suppose I can go ahead

0:24:32.080 --> 0:24:34.400
<v Speaker 1>and say it. My daughter, like so many of us,

0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:37.200
<v Speaker 1>has a bit of that. And we are touring law

0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:41.000
<v Speaker 1>school the other day and the two fabulous young women

0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:44.800
<v Speaker 1>who were taking us around on the tour admitted to

0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:49.080
<v Speaker 1>flaming imposters syndrome. And they're so sweet. They said, everybody

0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:52.159
<v Speaker 1>has it. Everybody has it, don't worry about it. You

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:54.800
<v Speaker 1>can do this, You'll be fine. And it was great,

0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:56.280
<v Speaker 1>and I think more people need to know that. I

0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:58.120
<v Speaker 1>tried to teach my kids that, you.

0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Know that feeling you're big success, Well, dad has it

0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 2>every day every day.

0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry about it. Fake it till you make it seriously.

0:25:07.920 --> 0:25:10.160
<v Speaker 1>But it's hard to convince people. They think, Oh, you're

0:25:10.160 --> 0:25:13.119
<v Speaker 1>just saying that to make me feel better, right. I

0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 1>remember an interview I saw with Paul Begala.

0:25:16.600 --> 0:25:18.280
<v Speaker 2>He is one of the people that got Bill Clinton

0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:20.119
<v Speaker 2>elected president, and he was talking about what was like

0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:21.600
<v Speaker 2>to be at the White House and walk in there

0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:23.440
<v Speaker 2>every single day, and he said, if you don't walk

0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:26.200
<v Speaker 2>into the White House every day with imposter syndrome, there's

0:25:26.200 --> 0:25:29.040
<v Speaker 2>something seriously wrong with you. Because everybody feels like I

0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:31.399
<v Speaker 2>can't believe I'm here. Why am I here? Of all people?

0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Me right right?

0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 1>I am not good enough for this, I am not

0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:40.120
<v Speaker 1>important enough for this. I see the ghost of you know,

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Thomas Jefferson standing there in the corner. Hi, Tom, did

0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:48.280
<v Speaker 1>you see the game last night?

0:25:49.840 --> 0:25:52.320
<v Speaker 2>So I bet again? Kind of getting to the other

0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:53.879
<v Speaker 2>side of it, I feel like I have known some

0:25:53.920 --> 0:25:56.359
<v Speaker 2>people who don't seem like they've ever had any self

0:25:56.400 --> 0:25:59.800
<v Speaker 2>doubt one second in their lives. And are they just

0:26:00.119 --> 0:26:01.920
<v Speaker 2>in it off really well or do they actually not

0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:03.080
<v Speaker 2>ever have any self doubt?

0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I think those people probably exist. Katie, your your opinion.

0:26:08.880 --> 0:26:10.439
<v Speaker 1>I just think, don't think there are many.

0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:14.560
<v Speaker 3>I feel like if you hmm, I feel like they're

0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:17.480
<v Speaker 3>probably just hiding it. Well, it's like a natural, a

0:26:17.600 --> 0:26:19.280
<v Speaker 3>natural thing for someone to feel.

0:26:20.119 --> 0:26:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think I would guess eighty percent of the

0:26:22.680 --> 0:26:26.600
<v Speaker 1>people you perceive are that way are faking it, and

0:26:26.760 --> 0:26:29.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe twenty percent of those people actually have whatever genetic

0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:33.520
<v Speaker 1>gift it is to be, you know, super comfortable and

0:26:36.080 --> 0:26:40.200
<v Speaker 1>no impostor syndrome. I you know, I didn't really have

0:26:40.280 --> 0:26:43.679
<v Speaker 1>it until I became an adult, and I get I

0:26:43.680 --> 0:26:44.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know.

0:26:44.640 --> 0:26:47.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know either, but it's partially because I hadn't

0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:50.440
<v Speaker 2>achieved anything. So what would I be an impostor about?

0:26:50.840 --> 0:26:51.720
<v Speaker 2>I was just going to say.

0:26:51.760 --> 0:26:55.439
<v Speaker 1>As I kept running into things that were increasingly difficult,

0:26:56.680 --> 0:26:59.879
<v Speaker 1>I would think, oh boy, I could I could really

0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:03.040
<v Speaker 1>fail at this? Does anybody around here realize I could

0:27:03.040 --> 0:27:04.440
<v Speaker 1>completely fail at this?

0:27:04.960 --> 0:27:07.880
<v Speaker 2>I still Katie because I wear a suit to work

0:27:07.920 --> 0:27:10.159
<v Speaker 2>most days. I still like walking down the street in

0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:12.360
<v Speaker 2>a suit. Feel like people could look at me and say,

0:27:12.359 --> 0:27:13.840
<v Speaker 2>what was that guy to wearing a suit for? He's

0:27:13.880 --> 0:27:18.200
<v Speaker 2>not a suit guy trying to kids about you? Right?

0:27:18.320 --> 0:27:20.200
<v Speaker 2>You just could tell by looking at me that's not

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:22.040
<v Speaker 2>a guy who wears a suit kind of act.

0:27:22.160 --> 0:27:22.280
<v Speaker 5>Is that?

0:27:23.040 --> 0:27:25.399
<v Speaker 2>Hey, you think he borrowed that suit or stay or

0:27:25.400 --> 0:27:26.640
<v Speaker 2>someone's trying to impress.

0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Look at the dip in the suit trying the kid right, exactly,

0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:32.880
<v Speaker 1>That's what I think.

0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:41.439
<v Speaker 2>Jack Armstrong and Joe Strong and Getty show. But I

0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:44.439
<v Speaker 2>mentioned the David Copperfield show that we went to the

0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Magician and how he was working too sexy for a

0:27:49.080 --> 0:27:51.720
<v Speaker 2>show with lots of kids. There lots of kids younger

0:27:51.720 --> 0:27:54.600
<v Speaker 2>than my kids. Of course, the younger kids didn't get

0:27:54.640 --> 0:27:57.560
<v Speaker 2>some of the jokes. But like he asked a dad,

0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:00.720
<v Speaker 2>stand up, sir, here, you're your wife and your kids.

0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:02.399
<v Speaker 2>When's the last time you and your wife had sex

0:28:03.000 --> 0:28:05.920
<v Speaker 2>in front of their kids? Wait? What? Okay? And the

0:28:05.960 --> 0:28:07.720
<v Speaker 2>last time you had it? So seven days ago? He

0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:10.080
<v Speaker 2>writes down the number seven for the trick, and last

0:28:10.080 --> 0:28:13.080
<v Speaker 2>time he had sex. How long did the session last?

0:28:13.320 --> 0:28:16.200
<v Speaker 2>And dad says twenty minutes. But I'm not answering that

0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:19.199
<v Speaker 2>question in front of my kids. It's weird.

0:28:19.600 --> 0:28:22.439
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna start calling sex the session from now on,

0:28:24.119 --> 0:28:28.280
<v Speaker 3>and he sam for a session, honey, a fantastic session.

0:28:30.320 --> 0:28:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Maybe the rich old bastard just figures. I got one act.

0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not changing it for these bunch of rugrats. I

0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:38.680
<v Speaker 1>actually told my kids that it was a thing with aging.

0:28:38.800 --> 0:28:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes when people get old, they just kind of lose

0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:44.240
<v Speaker 1>track of what's appropriate and what's not. Because that's true, right,

0:28:44.960 --> 0:28:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and I think he might be there. You'd think some

0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:51.680
<v Speaker 1>of the world's most famous performers would have figured that

0:28:51.760 --> 0:28:53.080
<v Speaker 1>out by now, or had people.

0:28:53.280 --> 0:28:55.800
<v Speaker 2>He's hell, he's hell old. The thing that made me

0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:57.640
<v Speaker 2>laugh the hardest. And I couldn't say this on the show.

0:28:57.680 --> 0:28:59.360
<v Speaker 2>It's inappropriate, and I know some of you don't like

0:28:59.360 --> 0:29:03.040
<v Speaker 2>this language. So part of the deal he was he

0:29:03.120 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 2>made this. It's a long drawn out story, but he's

0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:10.280
<v Speaker 2>got this little Yoda baby Yoda type character or whatever,

0:29:10.360 --> 0:29:13.600
<v Speaker 2>and trying to get him home. Anyway, all of a sudden,

0:29:13.640 --> 0:29:15.280
<v Speaker 2>we're all staring at the ceiling, and all of a sudden,

0:29:15.320 --> 0:29:17.680
<v Speaker 2>a spaceship appears and it's floating around. He said, look

0:29:17.680 --> 0:29:27.520
<v Speaker 2>at that a spaceship. That made me laugh. But anyway,

0:29:27.640 --> 0:29:29.640
<v Speaker 2>so the other thing we did was we went to

0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:34.640
<v Speaker 2>the sphere and that's the great big Giant ball. If

0:29:34.680 --> 0:29:36.640
<v Speaker 2>you haven't heard anything about it, it got a lot

0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:39.040
<v Speaker 2>of attention when it first opened because you two played there.

0:29:39.160 --> 0:29:41.520
<v Speaker 2>But it's not just a concert venue. In fact, I

0:29:41.520 --> 0:29:43.760
<v Speaker 2>don't think it's primarily going to be a concert venue.

0:29:43.840 --> 0:29:45.680
<v Speaker 2>I think it's mostly going to be like movies and

0:29:45.680 --> 0:29:48.080
<v Speaker 2>stuff like that. And so we watched this movie about

0:29:48.200 --> 0:29:50.560
<v Speaker 2>planet Earth and the Big Bang, and it was an

0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:53.320
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to show you oceans and mountains and deserts. And

0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:57.560
<v Speaker 2>I did get a little bit uh carsick motion sickness

0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:01.200
<v Speaker 2>because you're floating around all this stuff and it's so giant.

0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:05.200
<v Speaker 2>It's I forget how many K it was, eighteen K

0:30:05.320 --> 0:30:08.280
<v Speaker 2>screen boy, and yeah, no way, I'm going to this

0:30:09.160 --> 0:30:11.920
<v Speaker 2>eighteen K screen. I mean that the vertigo of sitting

0:30:12.000 --> 0:30:15.400
<v Speaker 2>like at the top of vertical stands. Yeah, it's like

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:17.760
<v Speaker 2>walking up a mountain in one hundred and seventy thousand

0:30:17.840 --> 0:30:22.360
<v Speaker 2>speakers and it's really remove it all. Yes, so that's cool.

0:30:22.600 --> 0:30:25.200
<v Speaker 2>So when the elephants come stomping through, the base is

0:30:25.280 --> 0:30:28.000
<v Speaker 2>like unlike anything you've ever heard before. I mean even

0:30:28.000 --> 0:30:31.280
<v Speaker 2>a great concert. The base is just stunning. And then

0:30:31.320 --> 0:30:33.200
<v Speaker 2>the seats move too, so you get a full Like

0:30:33.240 --> 0:30:35.600
<v Speaker 2>the elephants are stomping through, it's loud and you're kind

0:30:35.600 --> 0:30:41.480
<v Speaker 2>of bouncing around. M It sort of sounds like sensory overload. Yeah. Yeah,

0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:43.560
<v Speaker 2>And I got a kid with sensory issues, so he

0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:45.680
<v Speaker 2>was he actually holding my hand the whole show.

0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Joe, did the those woofers? Did they hit the

0:30:49.000 --> 0:30:53.160
<v Speaker 1>brown note? The brown notice a note that all bassists

0:30:53.280 --> 0:30:55.520
<v Speaker 1>know about, and that is a particular note if your

0:30:55.520 --> 0:30:58.160
<v Speaker 1>amp is set up just right, that can cause people

0:30:58.160 --> 0:30:59.160
<v Speaker 1>to poop themselves.

0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:05.840
<v Speaker 2>But the other thing they had at the sphere, and

0:31:06.080 --> 0:31:08.080
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking about this because there is an article

0:31:08.160 --> 0:31:10.240
<v Speaker 2>in the Wall Street Journal.

0:31:10.280 --> 0:31:14.160
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about this on the radiation. Stop giggling. Look, Katie,

0:31:14.480 --> 0:31:17.200
<v Speaker 1>the audience does not responding. They're a bad audience. You

0:31:17.240 --> 0:31:20.080
<v Speaker 1>know what, You as the bass player, you're in charge

0:31:20.080 --> 0:31:20.800
<v Speaker 1>of punishing them.

0:31:21.000 --> 0:31:24.120
<v Speaker 3>I expect more, Joe.

0:31:24.840 --> 0:31:27.160
<v Speaker 2>See, That's that's what's so delightful about me, you know,

0:31:27.360 --> 0:31:31.320
<v Speaker 2>be so many colors, so many different.

0:31:31.280 --> 0:31:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Levels of humor.

0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Before I move on to the AI thing. Back to

0:31:34.560 --> 0:31:37.760
<v Speaker 2>the Sphere show. So I'm sitting there and and I

0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:39.400
<v Speaker 2>was trying to decide how I'm going to talk about

0:31:39.400 --> 0:31:42.000
<v Speaker 2>this so I don't get myself in trouble with various groups.

0:31:42.040 --> 0:31:44.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to mention the group but it became

0:31:44.880 --> 0:31:49.240
<v Speaker 2>clear to me that culturally, and this is another country

0:31:49.240 --> 0:31:52.120
<v Speaker 2>because they don't speak English. Culturally, some people just talk

0:31:52.240 --> 0:31:55.400
<v Speaker 2>through shows because they were all from a certain area

0:31:55.440 --> 0:31:58.320
<v Speaker 2>of the world, and they just talked through the entire

0:31:58.400 --> 0:32:01.720
<v Speaker 2>show and giving them the look. But they were just

0:32:01.760 --> 0:32:04.920
<v Speaker 2>so engrossed and out loud like regular voice, not even

0:32:04.920 --> 0:32:08.640
<v Speaker 2>whispering like regular voice conversation, that I thought this, this

0:32:08.680 --> 0:32:11.760
<v Speaker 2>is clearly a cultural thing. This isn't a wow, This

0:32:11.800 --> 0:32:14.560
<v Speaker 2>isn't a couple of rude people who need to be

0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:17.080
<v Speaker 2>reminded to be quiet. They come from a part of

0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:19.960
<v Speaker 2>the world where you just talk through shows. I guess

0:32:20.640 --> 0:32:22.040
<v Speaker 2>so in these parts of the world that I won't

0:32:22.040 --> 0:32:23.360
<v Speaker 2>mention because I don't want to get in trouble. If

0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:25.480
<v Speaker 2>you go to a movie theater, is everybody just sitting

0:32:25.480 --> 0:32:27.600
<v Speaker 2>there talking out loud through the whole movie? Because that's

0:32:27.600 --> 0:32:30.000
<v Speaker 2>why I was happening here. You think he's gonna kiss her,

0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:31.520
<v Speaker 2>I keep expecting her to kiss her.

0:32:32.000 --> 0:32:32.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:35.480
<v Speaker 3>Good on you for figures, you know, having that thought

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:37.600
<v Speaker 3>process prior to telling him to shut the hell up.

0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, they wouldn't have understood me because they clearly didn't

0:32:39.960 --> 0:32:43.720
<v Speaker 2>speak English. But Yeah, a couple of young couple sitting

0:32:43.800 --> 0:32:47.200
<v Speaker 2>beside me, and then a couple of older people behind me,

0:32:47.360 --> 0:32:49.320
<v Speaker 2>all from similar part of the world, and they just

0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:52.600
<v Speaker 2>talked fully out loud the whole show, even in like

0:32:52.680 --> 0:32:55.440
<v Speaker 2>super quiet parts, dramatic parts and everything like that. Just

0:32:55.440 --> 0:32:58.760
<v Speaker 2>so do blas and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Weird.

0:32:58.800 --> 0:33:00.720
<v Speaker 2>I guess that's just a cultural thing. In the United States,

0:33:00.800 --> 0:33:05.720
<v Speaker 2>we were quiet during shows, some might say respectful of

0:33:05.760 --> 0:33:07.000
<v Speaker 2>other people's experience.

0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:09.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, I totally get why you did what you did.

0:33:09.840 --> 0:33:12.160
<v Speaker 1>It sounds super cool. You got kids. They need to

0:33:12.160 --> 0:33:15.600
<v Speaker 1>have experiences and see the world. Blah blah blah. They

0:33:15.640 --> 0:33:18.640
<v Speaker 1>have been exactly when you were there doing that. Judy

0:33:18.680 --> 0:33:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and I were walking through the woods taking pictures of birds,

0:33:22.360 --> 0:33:26.920
<v Speaker 1>and I am so happy that that's what I was doing. Yes,

0:33:27.080 --> 0:33:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I was spectacle at all.

0:33:30.120 --> 0:33:32.480
<v Speaker 2>I was actually thinking watching this thing at the sphere.

0:33:32.840 --> 0:33:36.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure while why anybody would ever need to

0:33:36.080 --> 0:33:40.040
<v Speaker 2>go anywhere or do anything. Ever again, if this becomes normal,

0:33:40.120 --> 0:33:43.600
<v Speaker 2>it was the the clarity of the eighteen K screen,

0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:47.640
<v Speaker 2>the sound and all encompassing. I don't know why I

0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:50.280
<v Speaker 2>would need to walk inside one of those great big

0:33:50.320 --> 0:33:53.200
<v Speaker 2>cathedrals in Europe. I had the full I've been to one,

0:33:53.280 --> 0:33:56.880
<v Speaker 2>so I know I don't have smello vision yet. This

0:33:57.000 --> 0:33:59.840
<v Speaker 2>is the first time I've ever had the awe feeling

0:34:00.280 --> 0:34:04.040
<v Speaker 2>that you get from doing things in person from a screen,

0:34:04.280 --> 0:34:07.560
<v Speaker 2>and I thought, I think they finally replicated the in

0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:11.240
<v Speaker 2>person experience for seeing a sunset being on the ocean.

0:34:12.239 --> 0:34:13.080
<v Speaker 1>What interesting.

0:34:13.520 --> 0:34:13.759
<v Speaker 4>Now?

0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:19.960
<v Speaker 1>You are are famously hard of smelling, heard of tasting.

0:34:20.080 --> 0:34:22.520
<v Speaker 1>You don't taste things normally, okay.

0:34:22.400 --> 0:34:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Which I think has to do with zero factory center

0:34:25.400 --> 0:34:26.799
<v Speaker 2>in your brain or something like that.

0:34:29.200 --> 0:34:32.399
<v Speaker 1>I disagree. You've got to have the smell, you've got

0:34:32.400 --> 0:34:35.120
<v Speaker 1>to have the humidity, You've got to have the feeling

0:34:35.160 --> 0:34:38.879
<v Speaker 1>of the air in a place interesting to really experience it.

0:34:40.000 --> 0:34:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, So I read the mustiness of an old church,

0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:47.200
<v Speaker 2>even the dusty. Yes, the smell of the hymnals Thanks

0:34:47.239 --> 0:34:49.040
<v Speaker 2>get pretty musty after a session day.

0:34:49.200 --> 0:34:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Am I talking in this voice? I don't know. I'm

0:34:52.080 --> 0:34:54.560
<v Speaker 1>going to ignore that attempted humor.

0:34:55.920 --> 0:35:00.359
<v Speaker 2>Jack Armstrong and Joe Armstrong and get shall
