1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: No, we're not working on Christmas Eve.

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,399
Speaker 2: We worked really hard to get it in our contract

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: that we wouldn't be working today, so you're not hearing

4
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 2: us alive.

5
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 3: I'd hate to make both Jesus and Santa Claus angry.

6
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: So yes, we're taking the day off.

7
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 3: But hope you're enjoying some really good A and G

8
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 3: replays dig In Harry Christmas.

9
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: Dying just little, he choked.

10
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 3: So, coming up on the twelve mile mark, did most

11
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 3: T shirts worn for half marathon?

12
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: Previous record one twenty seven. I've got one hundred thirty.

13
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 3: Seven T shirts on my back is toats or my hands?

14
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: Are hosts want thirteen miles? We're gonna make it?

15
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 4: Come on?

16
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: What the hell was that?

17
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 5: It's a guy running a marathon wearing one hundred and

18
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 5: thirty seven T shirts. I guess the previous record was

19
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 5: one hundred and thirty one. So he added six more

20
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 5: and random marathon and he said again, it's worth yeah

21
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 5: half marathon.

22
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

23
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. He's a content creator, and his content is he

24
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: does weird, freaky, kind of funny things that are also painful, strenuous.

25
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: Okay, well, you know there's two ends of the equation

26
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: for the whole content creator thing. There have to be

27
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 2: people that watch and or listen to this stuff to

28
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 2: make it worthwhile, and apparently there are given the fact that,

29
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: you know what, the average kid spends seven hours on

30
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: TikTok or whatever it is. You know, that makes it

31
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 2: worthwhile because then the advertisers get enough eyeballs to pay

32
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: money to the content creator. The vicious cycle and stupidess

33
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: like so people scrolling through their phones all day long

34
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: taking in this crap leads to more of this crap,

35
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: and it's just it'll never end.

36
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 3: In a related story, a smartphone before age twelve could

37
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: carry health risks. According to a study, researchers found higher

38
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 3: rates of depression, poor sleep, and obesity among tweens who

39
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: had early access to cell phones.

40
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: I think cell phone are horrible, and the younger the

41
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: kid the worst, But smartphones, but I would like to

42
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: know what other factors go with that. You know, it's

43
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 2: a parents who give their kids a smartphone at age

44
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: ten probably do other things in addition to giving their

45
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: kid a smartphone that aren't next necessarily in line with

46
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: good parenting.

47
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: In my mind, I think that is entirely possible. Tough

48
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: to tease that out of the study, but an excellent point.

49
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 3: The younger that children under twelve were when they got

50
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: their first smartphones, that study found, the greater their risk

51
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: of obesity and poor sleep. The researchers also focused on

52
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 3: a subset of children who had not received a phone

53
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 3: by age twelve and found that a year later, those

54
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: who acquired one had more harmful mental health symptoms and

55
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: worse sleep than those who hadn't.

56
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: For instance, the yes, for instance, what I was just saying,

57
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: The parent that gives their ten year old a smartphone

58
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: probably doesn't give a crap what they eat, so the

59
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: obesity thing doesn't surprise me. The parent that gives their

60
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: ten year old a smartphone probably doesn't supervise it at all.

61
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: So the fact that they are spending more on time

62
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: on social media, which makes you depressed, it doesn't surprise me.

63
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: You mentioned earlier the intense pressure from the kid to

64
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: get a smartphone, partly because that's how tweens and teens

65
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: stay in touch and if they want to be part

66
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 3: of the group, which every adolescent desperately wants, it's tough

67
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 3: if you don't have a smartphone. Counterbalance, and this is

68
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: the lead author of the study, in a child A

69
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,839
Speaker 3: child an adolescent psychiatrist at Children's Hospital Philadelphia quote, when

70
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 3: you give your kid a phone, you need to think

71
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: of it as something that is significant for the kid's

72
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 3: health and behave accordingly. Here's the upside of how much

73
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 3: they want the phone, though, it's the greatest. I'm going

74
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: to take this away from you if you don't get

75
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: your grades up or whateverever. I mean, there's never been

76
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 3: a parenting stick opposed to a carrot as great as

77
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: taking away your phone for a week.

78
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: Because I've done it. I'm just taking away a care

79
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: at a stick. I don't know that's a good one.

80
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: But man, you you have a kid or an adult,

81
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: anybody who's addicted to their smartphone, and it's so much

82
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: of your life, and you don't get that until you

83
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: get your grades up or you start taking the trash

84
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: out or whatever it is your Thingum.

85
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: It is powerful. Powerful.

86
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: What what percentage your parents actually have the spine to

87
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: carry out that sanction?

88
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: Hanson does that. Yeah, I do that, and several some

89
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: of my son's friends do that also. Yeah.

90
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 3: I don't know if the answer is ten percent or

91
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: ninety percent. I truly made it.

92
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: Interesting, but it's even worse than it makes it difficult

93
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 2: though for the parent. I must say, when my kid

94
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: didn't have his cell phone for a couple of weeks,

95
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 2: it changed everything in terms of like trying to get

96
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: a hold of him.

97
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 3: So putting a putting aside depression, poor sleep, and obesity,

98
00:04:58,680 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: which is a hell of a phrase.

99
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: How about this.

100
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 3: Here is a school teacher clip number fourteen talking about

101
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: her classroom experience.

102
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 6: I think that you guys don't know what's going on

103
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 6: in education right now. That's fine, like, how could you

104
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 6: know unless you are working in it. But I think

105
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 6: that I think you need to know. So here is

106
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 6: exactly what it's like right now working in public education.

107
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 6: First of all, the kids have no ability to be

108
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 6: bored whatsoever. They live on their phones and they're just

109
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 6: that a constant stream of dopemine from the minute their

110
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 6: eyes wake up in the morning until they go to

111
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 6: sleep at night. Because they're in a constant state of dopamine. WITHDRALD. School,

112
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 6: they behave like addicts. They're super emotional, like the smallest

113
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 6: thing sets them off, and when you are standing in

114
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 6: front of them trying to teach, they're vacant. They have

115
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 6: no ability to tune in if your communication isn't packaged

116
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 6: in short little clips, or if it doesn't have like

117
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 6: bright flashing lights. That's actually the way harder part for

118
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 6: me than just the outright behaviors is just being up

119
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 6: at the talking to a group of kids who have

120
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 6: their eyes open. They're looking at me, but they're not there.

121
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 6: They're not there, and they have a level of apathy

122
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 6: that I've never seen before in my whole career. Punishments

123
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 6: don't work because they don't care about them. They don't

124
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 6: care about grades, they don't care about college. It's like

125
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 6: you are interacting with them briefly in between hits of

126
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 6: the internet, which is their real life.

127
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,119
Speaker 1: Wow ah, that last part.

128
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: I've run into that not caring about stuff, and I

129
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: just don't quite get it.

130
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,799
Speaker 1: How does that? How did that come out of using

131
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: cell phones in the dopamine hit thing? That's all we want?

132
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: That's interesting because I've run into that, and I've talked

133
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: to other parents who are having a bit of that

134
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: problem too.

135
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: Is like they just don't care, Like I cared when

136
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: I was in school about my grades, and they just

137
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: don't care. And I'm like, yeah, why don't you care.

138
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: I don't remember why I cared. I just did. That's interesting.

139
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 3: Well, that squares pretty comfortably with addiction in general, doesn't it,

140
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: I guess yeah, now.

141
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: No, I was just trying to picture when she was

142
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: talking about the standing up there in front of the

143
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: class and they're used to getting dopamine.

144
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: It's all day long.

145
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: Remember if you're older, remember how incredibly boring your ninth

146
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 3: grade social studies teacher was. Now, try to imagine it

147
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 3: with your current brain that's used to.

148
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: Getting you know, bad bad bam bam, bam, bam bam

149
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: all day long.

150
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: Not you're I was fifteen years old back in the

151
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: time when you know, my brain much.

152
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: Was much slower. You were bored then.

153
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,239
Speaker 3: Imagine it now, Oh my god, imagine you're a child

154
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,559
Speaker 3: who's never gone through that stage of development that we did.

155
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's worse.

156
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: Than we can imagine it. Because I have a hard

157
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: time reading long form myself. I have to like really

158
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: discipline myself to make myself do it because it seems

159
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: so boring for a while until I get back in

160
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: the groove because I've ruined my brain. And my brain

161
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: worked fairly well up until two thousand and eight and

162
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: I started staring at a smartphone. So yeah, if you've

163
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 2: never had that, I don't know. We're we're gonna have

164
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: to figure out a way. They might have to craft

165
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: lessons in school to where they're all videos and they

166
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: come at you're really really fast with music and lights.

167
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: That might be the only way to reach kids. Yeah, yeah, interesting,

168
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 2: I mean, because I really do think it's if you

169
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: can't beat them and join them sort of situation. There's

170
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 2: no point in well, you're gonna sit here and you're

171
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 2: gonna listen to me drone on about the stamp Act

172
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: whether you like it or not.

173
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 3: That ain't gonna work, no, because they won't absorb any

174
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 3: ofth it. Now, Yeah, you'll have lost the war. Yeah,

175
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: i'd agree. I don't know exactly what to do with it.

176
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 3: I keep here seeing this metal picture of a god

177
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 3: and I don't know what's your favorite talking to God

178
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 3: cliche saying Peter, and God's saying, you know, the humans

179
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 3: have had their run time to clear the way for

180
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 3: the ants or the beavers or whatever. Say Peter saying,

181
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 3: how are you going to get rid of the humans?

182
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: And God will say, don't worry about it, They'll do it.

183
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: Themselves.

184
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: God, sometimes school was so boring, and that was with

185
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: my pre smartphone brain.

186
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: Sure, I can't imagine.

187
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 2: What it would be like for your average junior in

188
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 2: high school now or college kid to have somebody up

189
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 2: there droning on and on versus the competition is your phone,

190
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: Instagram or TikTok.

191
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: Holy crap.

192
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 4: O, that's a problem, Jack Armstrong and Joe Armstrong and

193
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 4: Getty show.

194
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: The long tradition of my brothers giving me crap from

195
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: putting cream in my coffee continued while I was around

196
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 2: everybody for the holiday as what brother if he could

197
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: pass the cream and he said, do you need some

198
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 2: high heels with that?

199
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: Also, yes, that sort of thing appropriate.

200
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,599
Speaker 2: Everybody looks down on me for putting your cream in

201
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: my coffee.

202
00:09:59,320 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: Oh well, what are you going?

203
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 3: So there, I was in a lovely mood, surrounded by

204
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 3: family over the holiday week. All three of our kids,

205
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 3: both of my siblings, my dad, my brother's family were

206
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: all in town for Thanksgiving week, partly because, as I

207
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 3: mentioned earlier, my dad's eighty fifth birthday was Thanksgiving Day,

208
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 3: and we celebrated lavishly and also played eighteen holes of golf.

209
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 3: At age eight eighty five, my brother and my dad

210
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 3: and I played. It was absolutely fantastic.

211
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

212
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 3: I mean, he's obviously not the player that he used

213
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 3: to be in all and gets annoyed about it.

214
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: Evidently that continues till the end of your life. Golf

215
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: is really annoying. But it was eighty five. You're like,

216
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: how could I hit that shot?

217
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 7: Oh?

218
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: My yeah exactly. I'm like, Dad, this is incredible. It

219
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 3: is a blessing. He's like, I just keep shoving it

220
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: to the right. What the hell's going on here? Am

221
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 3: I wind up wrong?

222
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: Who cares? Hilarious?

223
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 8: Oh?

224
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: I know it's something, isn't it?

225
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 4: Oh?

226
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: Anyway, But there I was in just such a lovely

227
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 3: frame of mind, ignoring the news more or less, and

228
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 3: I so come to, I don't know why, to the temptation.

229
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 3: I think it was Satan himself who said, take a

230
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 3: look at.

231
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: The New York Post. Why don't you see what they're

232
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: rating about? Why don't you see if there's something that

233
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: you want to click on?

234
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: Here?

235
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: Boy?

236
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: And so I opened the New York Post app for

237
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 3: some reason, there's this article Aaron Andrews fires back at

238
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 3: sports personalities after holiday comments backlash, and.

239
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: I violated a sacred rule.

240
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: Any journalism about internet arguments is not journalism.

241
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: It's crap.

242
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: I wish everybody, I wish the president would give an

243
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: Oval office address about this. Any news story built around

244
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: a couple of comments on social media, those people should

245
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 2: be drummed out of journalism.

246
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 3: Right, But it was the spirit of it that pissed

247
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 3: me off so much so. Aaron Andrews, the longtime female

248
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 3: sports reporter, sideline reporter et cetera, does very good job.

249
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: She was doing a podcast that I'm not familiar with.

250
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 3: She was the guest and they were talking to her

251
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 3: about her career and they asked her, and this isn't

252
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 3: made clear at the beginning of the article, I think

253
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 3: to draw you into the rage bait, they asked her,

254
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: for young girls or young women who are thinking to

255
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: get thinking about getting into your line of work, what

256
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 3: are some of the things they don't know about it,

257
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,239
Speaker 3: some of the downsides?

258
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 1: And one of the things she said was, well, you miss.

259
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 3: A lot of holidays that you'd like to be home

260
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 3: with your family, but you're on the road and you're

261
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 3: doing your job.

262
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: Okay, simple as that.

263
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 3: Well, you got this Jenna Lane, who's a reporter covering

264
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for ESPN ways in saying so

265
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 3: Aaron Andrews remarks about the challenges in this business above

266
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 3: starting at a low age and not having holidays. I

267
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 3: appreciate what she's trying to say, but let's consider the

268
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 3: folks working two to three jobs in retail, in warehouses

269
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: and in the service industry right now, just trying to

270
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 3: make against meat.

271
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: They're not getting time with their families either. Oh my god, your.

272
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 3: Life would be a dream for them. I mean, let's

273
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: keep this in perspective. Let's have some perspective. Oh my god.

274
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 3: And then you got hack loser Trey Wingo, former NFL

275
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 3: host back in the nineties at ESPN.

276
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: That's literally what they pay you for.

277
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 3: You posted on X because you've got to be angry,

278
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 3: including a headline about her remarks.

279
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: Aaron said it herself.

280
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 3: Once they pay you for the traveling sacrifices, because doing

281
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 3: the games is the fun part. And these people just

282
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 3: what bothers me the most about it is how obvious

283
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 3: it is that they're just saying, look at me, look

284
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: at me, I'm morally superior to Aaron Andrews. What about

285
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: the poor working people? I got a question for you halfwits.

286
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 3: If Aaron Andrews was in a car wreck and broke

287
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,119
Speaker 3: her leg in two places and the pain was horrible,

288
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 3: can she say the pain is horrible?

289
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: Or would you say, how about a little perspective, Aaron?

290
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 3: How about a single mom who has to work the

291
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 3: night jiff to Denny's.

292
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: She knows what pain is.

293
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 3: If her like broken two places, she'd be having paid

294
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 3: and she's gotta go work at denny She wants to

295
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 3: have a little perspective.

296
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: General, or what's your erin?

297
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 3: Oh my god, you people are perth pathetic. God, your

298
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: need to be morally superior to somebody is so bad

299
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 3: you actually go with a criticism that bad. She's telling

300
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: little girls, Look, you're gonna be away a lot, You've

301
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 3: got to travel, You're gonna miss your family.

302
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: Oh but a little perspective.

303
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 3: Oh god, that just pissed me off, And I thought,

304
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 3: what are you doing? Look you get the internet, you idiot,

305
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 3: Go deal with the people in your life who are

306
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 3: actually there, which reminded me of one of my you know,

307
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 3: my vows that I have to renew every now and again.

308
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 3: I hate the expression touch grass because it's gotten such

309
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: it's such a cliche, but make your life your life.

310
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 3: The people you actually we see and talk to and

311
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 3: deal with, interact with, do business with, play sports with,

312
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 3: not everybody online.

313
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: That's not your life.

314
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: I saw somebody write eloquently about this sort of news

315
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 2: story where they grab two comments, often not even you know,

316
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: well known people like in your case, just random random

317
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: commenters on social media, and they build a story around it.

318
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: That needs to be outlawed. And I'm a free speech guy.

319
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: It needs to be outlawed. But too many people fall

320
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: for it. And sometimes I'll click on a story and

321
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: then I'll get halfway through it and think, wait a second,

322
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 2: is the only thing to the story is Jim and omaha,

323
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: some something mean on Twitter about this thing.

324
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: That's it. That's the whole story that ed in Miami

325
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: had said, frank right, God.

326
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: That's the worst journalism out there. We need to do

327
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: better as a company.

328
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 3: To College Chang Controls wait in and said sarcastic things.

329
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

330
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 2: The Internet did not like this person's version of the

331
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: national anthem, and they'll pick two random cults from people

332
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 2: and build a story around it. We got to stop

333
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 2: doing that. It's the consumer that drives it though you

334
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: read it. They know how much time you spent on

335
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: the article. They got the algorithm. So to two final

336
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: points about this.

337
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 3: Number one, I'm a little surprised that Aaron Andrews dignified

338
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 3: that jackass a couple of comments with responses, but she

339
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 3: also took aim at NFL News aggregator Dove Climan, who

340
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: I've never heard of in my life, whose headline was

341
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: Andrews under heavy fire for her holiday's remarks under.

342
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: Heavy from losers online? Who cares?

343
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 3: Oh my lord, is there a way to break out

344
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 3: of this? I don't know if there is no. I

345
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 3: was just gonna say, can you get a shot? I

346
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 3: need a shot where I see a headline like that

347
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 3: and think that's stupid.

348
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: Just pass it.

349
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 4: Jack Armstrong and Joe arm Strong and yet show.

350
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: You told me you had confidence in me. I'd make

351
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: the right choice.

352
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 9: I did, ring, and this represents our commitment to love

353
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 9: to give us time to figure out together for our future.

354
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: Folks. Wait a second, what do you think? I agree?

355
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: Definitely a match that's for day show.

356
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 6: I'm not for everybody, He's not for everybody.

357
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: But we're definitely for each other.

358
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: Okay, that's from The Golden Bachelor last night? Man, that

359
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: has some sappyesque music that they played in the background.

360
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: Michael, you said you have family members that were into

361
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: The Golden Bachelor. Yeah, my mom and my sister. They

362
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: watch it. So it's like The Bachelor, except that it's

363
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: an old guy. Yeah. How old was he? Ninety seven?

364
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 4: No?

365
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: I think it was sixty three? Sixty three years old.

366
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: She's sixty six and she's sixty three. I believe dude.

367
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 2: How long have you pulled this act where you like,

368
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: tell a girl and I've bought you this ring to

369
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 2: signify the fact that we're going to seriously consider being

370
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 2: together and talk it over and see how things turn out.

371
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 2: WHOA wait, A second kind of come inment is.

372
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 3: That maybe the shows, those shows got tired of announcing

373
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 3: the engagement of the winner and his chosen one and

374
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 3: they always break up, and they'd become a running joke.

375
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,479
Speaker 2: What because they've known each other for two weeks on

376
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 2: a television show? The concept is so crazy, but it continues,

377
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 2: all right, Who are the family members that like to

378
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 2: watch it?

379
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 3: Michael, Oh, it's just my mom and my sister. Yeah,

380
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 3: your sister, your mom? Okay, well I know chicks. It get.

381
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: Bluff bluff blooming. Everybody likes that, right teach there on.

382
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: I could see, you know, he'd meet somebody and really

383
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 3: hit it off with him, for sure, entirely possible on

384
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 3: a TV show.

385
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: Idea that you're then going to get married is idiotic.

386
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 2: Man on a TV show, they have a band that

387
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 2: because it's like just all the weird stuff that's going on.

388
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 10: In other news, this coming out of the shutdown, President

389
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 10: Trump's approval on the economy in an apee pole is

390
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 10: thirty three percent, But the Treasury Secretary urges Americans worried

391
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 10: about affordability to be patient.

392
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 7: There is the inflation line we've got that under controls

393
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 7: leveled out, that is going to start turning down. Then

394
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 7: there's the income line I would expect in the first quarter,

395
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 7: second quarter of next year, those two lines are going

396
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 7: to cross, and the American people are going to start

397
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 7: feeling better, are they?

398
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 2: I actually heard what I thought was a pretty good

399
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 2: story on NPR today about this. They're going with the

400
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 2: angle that when inflation was bad, Joe Biden was telling

401
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 2: Americans that it wasn't and you could say all day

402
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 2: long the economy was great. Joe Biden was out there

403
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,719
Speaker 2: saying the economies is the best in the world, and

404
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: you go to the grocery store and get gas and

405
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 2: everything like that, and you'd think, holy crap. Now you

406
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: have almost exactly the same thing going on with Donald

407
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: Trump going around saying the economy is the best in

408
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: the world, of the best it's ever been. Man, it

409
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: don't feel the stock market, yeah, but don't feel that

410
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: way when you go to the grocery store or buy anything. Now,

411
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 2: the White House messaging in Trump in particular, have been

412
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 2: terrible on this issue. I mean, like almost suicidally bad.

413
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: I don't get it. As we talked about yesterday, he

414
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: ran on, I'm going to lower prices, which is not

415
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,959
Speaker 2: really what he meant, but that's what he said. And

416
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: people who don't know a lot about how inflation works

417
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: thought the prices were actually going to go back to

418
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 2: what prices used to be. But that's not the way

419
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: inflation works, right. So yeah, So even if you got

420
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 2: inflation down to two percent, people still be a lot

421
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: of people would still be pretty unhappy because things are expensive.

422
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: Like I've been saying, since the inflation thing took I

423
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 2: don't know how long it takes before you get used

424
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 2: to new prices to where it no longer shocks you.

425
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: But I'm not there yet. I'm not there yet.

426
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 3: I don't know about everybody else. Oh no, no, not

427
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 3: even close. You know, it's very much like the whole

428
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 3: solved the Ukraine Russia thing in one day, which I

429
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 3: realized was her hyperbole.

430
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: How about one month, how about one year?

431
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 3: How about ever, and just making out landish promises about

432
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 3: the economy, then when they don't materialize, telling Americans, no,

433
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 3: you're wrong, it's great.

434
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: That's just that's insane messaging. Yeah, yeah, I was.

435
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 3: You could have come into office and say, you know,

436
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 3: the day of the inauguration, you could say, look, the

437
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 3: economy super screwed up because Biden was terrible at it.

438
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: True, it's probably.

439
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 3: Gonna take a solid year to two years to straighten

440
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 3: things out, but we're gonna bring down that inflation level.

441
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 3: We're gonna see if we can even roll prices back

442
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 3: a little bit. That's gonna be tough because the way

443
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 3: inflation works, but by god, we're gonna do everything we

444
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 3: can to make your life more affordable. That would have

445
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: been great, and then people would have had a little

446
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 3: bit of patience. But between the bad messaging and the

447
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 3: tariff thing, it's just I'm not shocked his approval numbers

448
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 3: are that low thirty percent. That was his like bulletproof

449
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 3: number that he was so good on all through the

450
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 3: first and while he was running that in immigration, he

451
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 3: as we've said many many times, he's got the common man,

452
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 3: the common touch, better than practically anybody who's ever run

453
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 3: for president in the history of this country. But it

454
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 3: is quite possible on this one, and that a guy

455
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 3: that looks at the stock market to see how the

456
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 3: economy is doing doesn't get that. For everybody else who

457
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 3: that isn't their number one concern. Every single time you

458
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 3: go to the grocery store, you're shocked. Every time you

459
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 3: eat out, you're shocked at what it costs m h.

460
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 3: Shot for your kids' clothes whatever. Oh yeah, this is amazing,

461
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: And I don't know what you do about that. So

462
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 3: that's that's one angle. I find the psychology of all

463
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 3: this interesting because at some point we'll get used to

464
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 3: the new prices and they will no longer shock us,

465
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 3: and that will just be will be back to regular life.

466
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 2: Like I don't know how long that takes. That's kind

467
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 2: of an emotional thing. And it's also kind of an

468
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 2: emotional thing. Oh, whether you're happy or not. It's got

469
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 2: a lot to do with comparing yourself to other people.

470
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 2: And if you perceive that other people have more than you,

471
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: you're less happy, Whereas if you perceive that other people

472
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 2: have the same as you, you're happy with the same stuff.

473
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: It's just human nature, and it's interesting. Comparison is the

474
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: thief of joy. Yeah, and everybody does it. Wait a second,

475
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: where's my watch? I try very very hard not to

476
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: do it.

477
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 3: Every time I catch myself doing it, I say, dumb,

478
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 3: stop it.

479
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: Comparing yourself to other people. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.

480
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 3: To get sidetracked, but I don't know my watch on

481
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 3: it and I never take my watch off. I must

482
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 3: have taken it off in my sleep. Was it when

483
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 3: you strip searched Michelangelo? I know you do that before

484
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 3: every show, just to make sure he's not hiding any weapons,

485
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 3: you know, prison style.

486
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: I took my watch off to strip search Michaelangelo. Well, yeah,

487
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: I do you know? Oh oh God took him a minute, folks,

488
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: I got it. I got sidetracked.

489
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 2: So then the other thing is, because this affordable issue

490
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 2: is going to be the issue that both parties are

491
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 2: wrangling over, no doubt, for the next year leading up

492
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 2: to the midterms. And I don't know if there is

493
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 2: an answer from either side the politically, the answer is

494
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 2: to seem like the party that cares the most about it.

495
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 2: In terms of actually doing anything about it, that's a

496
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: whole different question. But you got to seem like the

497
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 2: party of the complicator that cares about it.

498
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 3: Well, then let me just say, if the Republicans lose

499
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 3: on that point after the debacle of the Biden administration

500
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 3: and the Democratic Congress, I mean, that'd be like losing

501
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 3: a football game.

502
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: You're up fifty to nothing in the fourth quarter.

503
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 3: That well, I'm going to don my Armstrong and Getty

504
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 3: f Yolikin party T shirt proudly on that day.

505
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 2: Well, if you're gonna run for president, honestly, completely honestly

506
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 2: to me, because I don't think there's that much you

507
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: can do about it. It had said, Look, this is the

508
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 2: way inflation works. You know how a new car cost

509
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: two thousand dollars in nineteen sixty five and now they

510
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 2: cost forty thousand dollars. Inflation just things get more and

511
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: more of overtime. We had a period here where inflation

512
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 2: happened really, really fast, and it's shocking to us, and

513
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 2: it's gonna take years before we get used to these

514
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 2: prices or wages catch up, and there's nothing I can

515
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,959
Speaker 2: do about it. I mean, that's the way I mean,

516
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 2: that would have been the honest thing.

517
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Or you could rephrase that and just say we're

518
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 3: going to stop prices from rising anymore, from rising so quickly.

519
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: We've got to slow it down, and we have the

520
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: plan to do it. That'd be good enough, I think.

521
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 2: But he said prices will come down, and then the

522
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 2: idiotic media, much of whom I don't think understand how

523
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 2: inflation works either, talk regularly about and prices haven't come

524
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 2: down yet. Well they're not going too. They're gonna stop

525
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: going up so fast. AnyWho, this meme is seems to

526
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: be back, at least on social media. I heard Ben

527
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 2: Shapiro on somebody Else's podcast the other day addressing it.

528
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 2: He got hit with the whole but look, in the fifties,

529
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 2: on a single.

530
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: Salary, you could own a home.

531
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 2: It was based on the stat that got everybody's attention

532
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 2: last week that the median first time home buyer is

533
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 2: now forty It was twenty nine, nineteen eighty one, it

534
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 2: is now forty years old. Started there, so you used

535
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 2: to be able to just dad working, buy a home,

536
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 2: live the American dream. And Ben Shapiro, in that he's

537
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: a very smart guy, sort of way broke it down

538
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: the way we have broken it down many times over

539
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 2: the years. That the combination of that was a blip

540
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 2: in time after World War Two, when the entire manufacturing

541
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 2: sector of the world disappeared and we were the only

542
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: manufacturer of everything, combined.

543
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 3: With the fact that those people were living a much

544
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 3: less extravagant, extravagant lifestyle than everybody.

545
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 2: Does now tonight way, tiny houses. Ben Shapiro actually said it,

546
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 2: and I think he was right. If you had to

547
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 2: live in the house your parents or grandparents lived in,

548
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 2: depending on your age, you would think this is a crapple.

549
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: Because it's tiny and a little run down.

550
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 3: That's what I grew up in, a tiny, a little

551
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 3: rundown home, not you know, the giant McMansion everybody thinks

552
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 3: they ought to have. And so so from both ends,

553
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 3: it was a blip in time historically and just a

554
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 3: completely fanciful view of what life used to be.

555
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 2: Nobody flew anywhere back then. Nobody you drove to the

556
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 2: local lake in the summer for vacation or.

557
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: Their grandma's house. Sure. Right.

558
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 2: My final point on this, just because we've talked about

559
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 2: this a lot, The key to this, though that I

560
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 2: haven't said yet, is we've got to do away with

561
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 2: this whole comparing life today to the fifties and acting

562
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 2: like we're getting screwed, whether it's by Republicans or Democrats.

563
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense in all the ways that's

564
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,479
Speaker 2: been laid out a bunch of different times. But as

565
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 2: long as we're going to hang on to that, we're doomed.

566
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 2: The comparison is the thief of joy.

567
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,479
Speaker 3: We're comparison selves to something that one was a blip

568
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 3: and two never really happened the way it's being displayed.

569
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 3: So our politics are going to be miserable until we

570
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 3: finally come to grips with that.

571
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: All right.

572
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:06,479
Speaker 3: Two points number one, Yes, you're right, it's not just

573
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 3: not apples to apples or apples oranges like apples to

574
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 3: golden retrievers. Comparing our lifestyle right now to the nineteen fifties,

575
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 3: for instance. Second, fascinating Joe Getty revelation. I have never

576
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 3: in my life had my own room. Everybody has their

577
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 3: own room in most modern American households, right.

578
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: Yeah.

579
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 3: I was with my sister in our little apartment when

580
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 3: we were young, and then my brother was born. We

581
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 3: moved to a new house and I was roomed with

582
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 3: my brother. Then I went to college, I always had roommates,

583
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 3: and then I got married while I was still in college.

584
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: I've never had my own room. It's pretty great. Yeah,

585
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm fine.

586
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: I shared a bedroom with my brother, and it would

587
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: it would have seemed crazy to make my kids share

588
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: a bedroom. It would have seemed crazy. I don't know why.

589
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 2: I mean, But that's a difference in lifestyle, right there.

590
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 2: Of course, everybody needs.

591
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: To have their own room. No, that was the exact opposite.

592
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 2: When I was a kidd and we're not one hundred

593
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 2: and fifty years old, everybody there and I would play

594
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 2: nerf hoops for hours time, and everybody I knew if

595
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 2: you went over to their house to play, they they

596
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: shared a bedroom, their brother or sister was there.

597
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: Everybody. So again apples to Golden nurse savers. Come on, folks,

598
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: that's a good one the Armstrong and Getty show.

599
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, Marha, your show podcasts and our hot Lakes.

600
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 8: Liz Warrant fell down on the Senate floor yesterday and

601
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 8: to everyone's surprise, didn't even yell Geronimo. Their new Indian

602
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 8: name is fall on Ass.

603
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 2: That's pretty funny. Uh, how y'all doing? So we got

604
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 2: some good Newsy stuff for you. We talked about this

605
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: expensive bed on the One More Thing podcast a while back,

606
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 2: this really expensive mattress which oh I remember that. Yeah,

607
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 2: I'll hit you at the price here in a moment,

608
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 2: because if you haven't heard about this, it's shocking. We

609
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 2: actually walked by one of these stores. It's Houstin's. I

610
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 2: don't know how you pronounce it, h A S T

611
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: e ns. It's Scandinavian, so hi Houston's. I don't know

612
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 2: how they pronounce it. But they don't have many stores.

613
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 2: The beds are ridiculously expensive. And we walked by one

614
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: of the stores on Park Avenue in New York. We

615
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 2: were leaving Central Park and we were walking along all

616
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 2: these ridiculously expensive stores and oh my god, it's one

617
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 2: of those bed stores. But you had to have an appointment,

618
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 2: and we were not dressed for people to go in

619
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 2: and look at these kind of mattresses. I would love

620
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 2: to have laid down one. I don't even know if

621
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: they know. Let us try, poor people, we can't allow

622
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 2: you in here. So I don't remember how I came

623
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 2: across this over the weekend.

624
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 3: And it it reignited my interest in this sort of

625
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 3: thing that it exists. But so I went on eBay

626
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 3: and there's one available on eBay that's used, so they

627
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 3: only want forty eight.

628
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: Thousand dollars for it.

629
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 2: This used mattress comes with the box spring, so it's

630
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 2: mattress and box spring for forty eight thousand dollars.

631
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 9: No.

632
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the owner of it, since I put it

633
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: on my watch, sent me an offer yesterday took four

634
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 2: thousand dollars off. They're only asking forty thousand dollars now

635
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 2: for this mattress and box spring. This mattress is made

636
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 2: of horsehair and some particular rare kind of horse and cotton.

637
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 2: It's all natural materials, it is said by reviewers. I

638
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 2: remember when I talked about this on our podcast, the

639
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 2: person who reviewed it, I think for the New York

640
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 2: Times said it's ridiculously overpriced and nobody is ever going

641
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 2: to buy one of these. But it is unlike sleeping

642
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 2: on anything you've ever slept on. It's as if you're suspended.

643
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 2: You're just floating. You can't even tell her anything, there's

644
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 2: any pressure on any of your body.

645
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: You're just kind of floating there. And it's amazing.

646
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 2: But the original price on this particular mattress in box

647
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 2: Springs that I'm I'm you know, I'm trying. I'm deciding

648
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 2: whether or not to pull the trigger at forty grand

649
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 2: was eighty four thousand dollars eighty three Please eighty four

650
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 2: thousand dollars for a mattress in box Spring.

651
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 3: Look, if you fly private all the time, go ahead

652
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 3: and buy the Horrors hair mattress. We prefer sex workers hair.

653
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 3: By the way, Jack these horse the beast of burden. Oh,

654
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 3: I apologize, I'd misunderstood. But if that's your lifestyle, go ahead.

655
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 3: If not, that's insane. Don't you remember that email we

656
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 3: got from a gal She said, yeah, we bought one

657
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,240

658
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 3: Horrors hair massage every two weeks.

659
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: That's the most uncomfortable thing ever. No, that's part of

660
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: the upkeep. Yes, you have to have.

661
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 2: It's what is it called a rejuvenation or something like that.

662
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 2: Somebody needs to come into your home at least once

663
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 2: a year and re massage it to make it. But

664
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 2: it's just reinterview from somebody who's got one on Reddit.

665
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 2: They said, if you have the person come and rejuvenate

666
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 2: it all the time, it feels they've had it for

667
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 2: four years, feels exactly like.

668
00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: It did on day one.

669
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: If you don't get it rejuvenated, you have a very

670
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 2: expensive sack of garbage, they said. But wow, I would

671
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: like to lay down on one. There's a store in

672
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,920

698
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 3: are up, bulk buying is on the rise. Even your

00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 3: lower dollar orders.

Speaker 3: So matched out credit cards, student loan payments coming back,

707
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 3: probably a certain amount of uneasiness about the future.

708
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:58,759
