Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Jetty.
Speaker 2: And no He.
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2: A group is asking New Jersey Transit to make commutes
Speaker 2: more joyful by putting googly eyes on the front of trains,
Speaker 2: so at least you'll see a friendly face coming to
Speaker 2: help when you're pushed.
Speaker 3: On the track. Oof, yanks. What strep throat?
Speaker 1: Let's say, streptocockle infection of your throatle region Streptococcus sorius.
Speaker 1: I can't remember I took a micro bio it was
Speaker 1: a long time ago, and I may have been stone.
Speaker 4: And were they bigger than the China or Oh? I
Speaker 4: so need a Tyrannosaurus for lunch. So I have a
Speaker 4: doctor's appointment, but I have the worst store throat I've
Speaker 4: ever had. But my windpipe feels like it's like the
Speaker 4: size of a little tiny straw, just like it's just
Speaker 4: so tight.
Speaker 3: Sounds like you have a raging infection of some sort.
Speaker 4: I don't know how did that guy? Or allergies anyway?
Speaker 4: So if I do have strepp, what they do put
Speaker 4: me on an imbodic yep. How contagious is strep throat?
Speaker 3: Uh? Pretty? I don't remember more.
Speaker 4: Or less than chlamydia. Oh my lord, well it's certainly
Speaker 4: spread differently. I don't remember, you know, having raised three kids,
Speaker 4: that's like an important part of your you know, knowledge
Speaker 4: and techniques and the rest.
Speaker 3: We've never had a strap in our house. I've never
Speaker 3: had it. My kids haven't had it.
Speaker 1: Really anyway, everybody got their tonsils still.
Speaker 3: In all we all got our tonsils. Yeah you're talking.
Speaker 5: I do, but I'm reading on the Google machine that
Speaker 5: strap is worse in people that have tonsils still, and
Speaker 5: it's contagious through respiratory droplets.
Speaker 3: Jack.
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, there you go, so very contagious. My eldest Kate,
Speaker 1: she had her tonsils removed because she got strep throats
Speaker 1: so off.
Speaker 4: Oh really yeah, yeah, you'll get my tonsils when you
Speaker 4: prime out of my cold, dead hand hanging on to these.
Speaker 1: What are your tonsoles doing in your hands? How does
Speaker 1: that even work?
Speaker 4: Got a number of things you want to get to
Speaker 4: this hour, including this story, which I found really dang interesting.
Speaker 3: Why do people watch a TV show.
Speaker 4: Or movie they've already seen and there's actually science behind
Speaker 4: it that I found. First of all, makes perfect sense.
Speaker 4: It also makes perfect sense why some people like my dad,
Speaker 4: for instance, would never.
Speaker 3: Watch a show.
Speaker 4: I mean way back in the day when you know
Speaker 4: there are three channels and all that sort of stuff,
Speaker 4: and TV shows went into reruns in the summer. He
Speaker 4: would never I've seen this, and you get up and leave.
Speaker 4: He would never watch something twice. It fits in perfectly
Speaker 4: with the science.
Speaker 1: Wow, I can't wait because I rarely do. But there
Speaker 1: are a couple of movies I'll watch again.
Speaker 3: They're so good. Okay, I'll stay tuned.
Speaker 4: We haven't mentioned this news story that happened in Pennsylvania
Speaker 4: over the weekend, I think Saturday night.
Speaker 6: An arrest after what police called an act of arson
Speaker 6: at Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's residence, where he and his
Speaker 6: family had gathered to celebrate the first night of Passover.
Speaker 6: The governor says he woke up to police banging on
Speaker 6: the door around two am. He and his family quickly evacuating.
Speaker 1: They're curly working on getting everybody evacuated as about twenty
Speaker 1: five people inside.
Speaker 6: The authorities are investigating whether the arson could have been
Speaker 6: motivated by the Governor's Jewish faith. The suspect was able
Speaker 6: to breach the fence here at the Governor's mansion and
Speaker 6: make it inside the residence where he started the fire.
Speaker 6: He's facing several charges, including attempted murder.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the guy not only got onto the grounds of
Speaker 4: the governor's mansion, got into the freaking mansion and was
Speaker 4: in there.
Speaker 3: Long enough to set a for real fire.
Speaker 4: I mean, when I first heard the story, I thought, Okay,
Speaker 4: how much of a fire. I mean, I don't know
Speaker 4: if you've seen the damage to the mansion, but that
Speaker 4: was a dang fire. It was, you know, a real,
Speaker 4: you're in threat fire, which is kind of hard to
Speaker 4: imagine with a you know, modern systems that we've got
Speaker 4: and everything like that, that I assumed that they would
Speaker 4: have it a governor's mansion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole thing's pretty troubling. I guess the family
Speaker 1: was in a different part and it's like a multi
Speaker 1: building thing, I think, like a complex more than a house.
Speaker 3: But I don't know specifically.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, but I don't know how comforted you would
Speaker 4: be if you got out of your house and found
Speaker 4: out he was in another part of the house where
Speaker 4: he started to fighting. The guy not come the guy
Speaker 4: that broke into your home while you were asleep without
Speaker 4: anybody catching him. Are you hearing him and was there
Speaker 4: long enough with the intent to kill you? Yeah, that
Speaker 4: would be unnerving. And of course he's got a family
Speaker 4: and everything like that.
Speaker 3: But you shut this the children.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he gave it a little speech about political violence
Speaker 4: that I thought was pretty good of nonpartisan. We got
Speaker 4: to stop this, We gotta we gotta quit accepting violence,
Speaker 4: which I agree with one hundred percent. But we've been
Speaker 4: accepting it the way too many people accept it on
Speaker 4: the other side. Whatever side here is, you accept it
Speaker 4: on your side, not the other side.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the list is growing long. Two assassination attempts on Trump,
Speaker 1: an assassination attempt on Brett Kavanaugh, the shooting at the
Speaker 1: baseball game a number of years ago, just example after example.
Speaker 1: It can't you know, you'd be I'd be tempted to say,
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to make too much of
Speaker 1: a deal over one nut job who's hearing voices in
Speaker 1: his head. But there's undeniably a pattern that this is
Speaker 1: an exceptional I'm not exceptional. Accept a bull option for
Speaker 1: various you know, semi deranged vehicle.
Speaker 4: Well, the blase attitude of mainstream media toward burning down
Speaker 4: all the teslas. Does that make this sort of thing
Speaker 4: more likely or less likely?
Speaker 1: Obviously more likely, Speaking of which I'd like to, after
Speaker 1: a break, get a little bit into the cult of
Speaker 1: Luigi Mangione.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's troubling.
Speaker 1: The demented young man who assassinated a healthcare executive on
Speaker 1: the streets of New York and the admiration for him,
Speaker 1: and and something like a religious cult has formed around
Speaker 1: him that you know, I wasn't aware of, because you know,
Speaker 1: it's not the sort of people I hang with who
Speaker 1: would get drawn into that. But it's a strange and
Speaker 1: troubling tale. Man.
Speaker 4: Then, how much of it has to do with the
Speaker 4: fact that he's good looking, which is also disturbing?
Speaker 1: Yes, like holmost sapiens as a species.
Speaker 4: So dumb, so dumbed. So that's a good one. All
Speaker 4: the stuff we teased, good stuff. I want you to
Speaker 4: stay here.
Speaker 7: What are you gonna do yourself? My campus actually actually
Speaker 7: a public I don't care. Nazif you understand me, take
Speaker 7: it off, take a white gold Trump had off. He's
Speaker 7: a you can lose there, and you're a Nazi punk
Speaker 7: you boo this.
Speaker 8: Whooo this guy that jumps apporterble.
Speaker 3: Real? Is that real? Yeah? I don't be danged unhinged.
Speaker 4: Yeah, i'd say which I wanted. Something is showing the
Speaker 4: unhinjuredness of modern life to get into this story. And
Speaker 4: it also reminds me of something an old boss of
Speaker 4: ours said to us one time that people don't know
Speaker 4: what they like, but they like what they know, which
Speaker 4: is pretty good. Yeah, and kind of fits in with this.
Speaker 4: Some study done by the University of Chicago, and this
Speaker 4: is about watching a TV show, an episode of a
Speaker 4: show you've already seen, or a movie you've already seen.
Speaker 3: Why you do that?
Speaker 4: And why some people don't rewatching the same show again? Man,
Speaker 4: my voice really kind of craps cracks sometimes when.
Speaker 3: I yeah, it's rough. You need to get to the
Speaker 3: doctor because I'm dying. Yeah, everyone want to try it all.
Speaker 1: Dying jack slowly from time.
Speaker 4: That is right, Rewatching the same show again and again
Speaker 4: isn't a sign of laziness, says the University of Chicago study.
Speaker 3: I never thought of it as laziness.
Speaker 1: Did anybody think it was? Why did laz Because it's.
Speaker 3: Not much work to switch to a different show.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's a stupid thing to say.
Speaker 4: It's actually a form of emotional regulation. When life feels
Speaker 4: overwhelming or unpredictable, your brain craves familiarity. Watching a show
Speaker 4: you've already know gives you a sense of control, comfort,
Speaker 4: and stability. There are no surprises, there's no tension. You
Speaker 4: know exactly what happens next, and that predictability helps calm
Speaker 4: your nervous system.
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah, makes perfect sense. It does make sense.
Speaker 4: Rewatching provides a way to restore energy and regain a
Speaker 4: sense of peace. It's moments when the world feels uncertainly
Speaker 4: your brain reaches for what it knows. It's a self
Speaker 4: regulation mechanism. I know exactly how the this is going
Speaker 4: to play out. There's a bunch of things going on
Speaker 4: in my life in the world. I don't know how
Speaker 4: they're going to play out. I'm feeling crazy. I mean,
Speaker 4: these aren't conscious thoughts. But I'm going to watch this
Speaker 4: TV show and I know exactly. I know that Chandler's
Speaker 4: about to run through the door. I know exactly what
Speaker 4: he's gonna say to Monica, and it's gonna be hilarious.
Speaker 1: So I was just going to say instead of shouting
Speaker 1: sorenity now you watch Frank Costanza shouting Sorenity now on
Speaker 1: an episode of Seinfeld, you've seen fifteen times.
Speaker 4: And I man now, Ever, since I had kids, I
Speaker 4: don't think I've watched a single thing multiple times because
Speaker 4: I don't have time.
Speaker 3: But back in the day, I would.
Speaker 4: I would, you know, get home Friday night, get home late,
Speaker 4: worn out from the week, watch a movie I've seen before,
Speaker 4: at least part of it, and that's probably what was happening.
Speaker 3: At the end of a long week.
Speaker 4: It's a self regulation and it also fits in I
Speaker 4: thought with I don't know how many people are like this,
Speaker 4: but like my dad, who never would watch anything again.
Speaker 4: It's just like I've seen that, why would I watch
Speaker 4: it again. He's the most even keeled person I've ever
Speaker 4: known him my life, so he doesn't need that for
Speaker 4: whatever reason. So he doesn't his brain doesn't desire to
Speaker 4: self regulation because he's already regulated.
Speaker 3: So both ends of that fit together.
Speaker 1: To me, or as secretly boiling inside and is about
Speaker 1: to explode. He's held it in for eighty seven eighty
Speaker 1: seven years, but he's only a human now. That's amazing.
Speaker 1: I have no doubt there are people like that that
Speaker 1: are no drama. We can deal with this, and yeah,
Speaker 1: they don't need that. How interesting. Huh that makes perfect
Speaker 1: sense and it's not laziness.
Speaker 3: You say idiotic things, Yeah that is idiotic. Huh. Well,
Speaker 3: I kind of like that.
Speaker 4: There's a a helpful, scientific reason why some people would
Speaker 4: do it, and you know, I.
Speaker 3: Hadn't thought about the other end of it.
Speaker 4: But I feel like people I've known who really watched
Speaker 4: a lot of shows that they've seen before kind of
Speaker 4: world a little all over the place emotionally, probably needed
Speaker 4: more self regulating than maybe I do.
Speaker 1: Or yeah, hot tempered, Yeah, how interesting. Yeah, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: of various folks I know may need predictability, who really
Speaker 1: enjoy the familiar in their lives. And many of them are,
Speaker 1: you know, quite successful and interesting people. But I would
Speaker 1: not describe them as placid. They're more fiery placid. Nobody's
Speaker 1: ever described me as placid. No, not likely to so.
Speaker 1: I like the angry Bostonian, the Massachusetts guy calling people
Speaker 1: laughing Nazis for wearing a maga hat, sir, Like half
Speaker 1: the voting population voted for the guy right again, acting
Speaker 1: like it's some bizarre like you're some sort of out
Speaker 1: there nut job, Nazi. I just speaking of perspectives, I
Speaker 1: don't get who should.
Speaker 3: Go home and watch some reruns of Friends of episodes
Speaker 3: he's already seen.
Speaker 1: He really should he play that clip again, Michael, and
Speaker 1: then I'll set up twenty six? You remember which one
Speaker 1: that was.
Speaker 3: Blanking?
Speaker 1: Nazi? I don't see it either. Where'd it go?
Speaker 3: Sixty seven? Thank you?
Speaker 7: What are you gonna do yourself? You got my campus
Speaker 7: that actually doubt actually a publish I don't care, nazif
Speaker 7: do you understand me?
Speaker 8: Take it off?
Speaker 3: Taking white gold?
Speaker 8: Trump had off. He's a mother and you're a Nazi punk.
Speaker 3: You boo this boo oooo.
Speaker 8: This guy's a Trump supporter. Boom.
Speaker 3: That's quite a boo. That is something that is something else?
Speaker 1: All right? So now if I understand it correctly, Katie,
Speaker 1: I don't want to give too much away, But a
Speaker 1: man is confronting his neighbor for committing an act of
Speaker 1: political protest. Should I say what it is? Or does
Speaker 1: it become obvious in the clip? It becomes obvious? Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, let's all enjoy it together.
Speaker 3: Whateber is this twenty six.
Speaker 9: Mashed potatoes on the side of my car?
Speaker 4: Here?
Speaker 3: Did you or didn't you?
Speaker 9: Because I've got cameras up there facing you, get off
Speaker 9: your side in the driveway now, I'm not on your
Speaker 9: d This is the middle.
Speaker 4: You are get off the hide parking area.
Speaker 8: Listen. Did you throw fast food on the side of
Speaker 8: my test?
Speaker 10: Now?
Speaker 9: Why did you throw fast food on the side of
Speaker 9: my test? You two mashed potatoes on my car? What
Speaker 9: is wrong with you?
Speaker 5: You sit here, you drive in, you drive out.
Speaker 8: You have jump cars. You drive in and you drive out.
Speaker 8: That's why people down the driveways. You more.
Speaker 1: Please be on TV Tonight's solid two hours.
Speaker 3: That was a great finish. Drop it and you drive out.
Speaker 3: That's what people do in their driveways.
Speaker 5: You're more on.
Speaker 3: That may be the Cliverly. I love that play that again,
Speaker 3: that's great.
Speaker 9: What mashed potatoes on the side of my car?
Speaker 4: Here?
Speaker 10: Did you?
Speaker 9: Or didn't you? Because I've got cameras up there facing you,
Speaker 9: get off yes, in the driveway now, I'm not only
Speaker 9: this is the middle.
Speaker 4: You are get off my parking area.
Speaker 8: Listen. Did you throw fast food on the side of
Speaker 8: my test?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 8: Why did you throw.
Speaker 9: Fast food on the side of my test? You threw
Speaker 9: mashed potatoes on my car? What is wrong with you.
Speaker 4: You sit here, you drive, you and you drive out.
Speaker 3: You have jump cars, you driving and you drive out.
Speaker 8: That's why people know that they're driveways.
Speaker 4: More.
Speaker 8: Oh my god, I seen out of signs.
Speaker 3: I need more. That's that is?
Speaker 4: That is a classic like that might be a tease
Speaker 4: for a reality show that's going to start.
Speaker 3: To because that made me want I need more. I
Speaker 3: need more background.
Speaker 4: I need to hear more of their conversations, Katie, whatever
Speaker 4: else you do find this, is there more of that
Speaker 4: argument anywhere?
Speaker 3: What do they look like?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: Paypall doveway, they drive, they drive out driver.
Speaker 5: You can't see the guy who's filming, but the woman,
Speaker 5: she's late fifties, early sixties.
Speaker 3: Short gray hair. I mean, just you know, typical. I'm
Speaker 3: not aware.
Speaker 4: I would identify mashed potatoes right off the bat. If
Speaker 4: I saw them on my vehicle, I'd probably think something
Speaker 4: worse than that.
Speaker 5: So you can see her in the ring camera doing it,
Speaker 5: and it's a good old KFC mashed potatoes there.
Speaker 3: Huh, you drive, you drive out? You got cows on blocks?
Speaker 3: You want to hear it one more time? The ending part?
Speaker 3: I wish I could hear one more time. Yeah, we
Speaker 3: just need to get to the end that is. That's
Speaker 3: pretty good. Wow.
Speaker 1: I hate these people always exist and we just way
Speaker 1: of being aware of them, because you know, it's not
Speaker 1: like half the population is that crazy.
Speaker 4: I hate it when I'm so flummixed by someone that
Speaker 4: I go into that voice like he's got at the end, tell.
Speaker 8: You and you drive that. That's why people go in
Speaker 8: their driveways you more.
Speaker 4: I can feel that emotion because I know what that
Speaker 4: emotion is. When you're dealing with someone.
Speaker 3: It's like, how do you not understand this?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh god, dang it, that's funny.
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, when stuff like that happens, I tend
Speaker 1: to get really calm and.
Speaker 3: Mean calm and mean yeah, like okay.
Speaker 1: Now now I'm going to hurt you.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 8: Oh I appreciate the pill away you're.
Speaker 3: Bored calmon meaning is more frightening than the high pitched.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm not saying it's a good quality. So why
Speaker 1: is there a cult forming around Luigi Mangioni who killed
Speaker 1: that poor elscare exec Strange times, folks.
Speaker 3: We'll describe it next to Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 11: Hilarious to see these millionaire media pundits on TV clutching
Speaker 11: their pearls about someone standing a murderer, when this is
Speaker 11: the United States of America. As if we don't lionize criminals,
Speaker 11: as if we don't have you know, we don't stan
Speaker 11: murderers of all sorts, and we give them Netflix shows.
Speaker 11: There's a huge disconnect between the narratives and angles, the
Speaker 11: sort of mainstream media pushes and what the American public feels.
Speaker 11: And you see that in moments like this.
Speaker 1: That is the utterly unhinged. Taylor Lorenz, who was a
Speaker 1: hot columnist for the New York Times than the Washington Posts.
Speaker 1: She specialized in idea identifying normal, innocent people who said
Speaker 1: anything politically incorrect, particularly in the wake of the George
Speaker 1: Floyd thing or whatever, and she would find out who
Speaker 1: they were, dox them, distribute their names online, and attempt
Speaker 1: to ruin their lives for daring to step outside the orthodoxy.
Speaker 1: She is a sick, sick woman. She's talking about the
Speaker 1: Luigi Mangioni murder of the healthcare executive. She used the
Speaker 1: term stan a couple of times. If you're too older
Speaker 1: or on hip like me, I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1: It's like a super fan becoming a great fan of somebody.
Speaker 1: Here's one more clip, at least from the deranged moron
Speaker 1: Taylor Lawrence.
Speaker 11: And I can tell you I saw the biggest audience
Speaker 11: growth that I've ever seen because people were like, oh, somebody,
Speaker 11: some journalists is actually speaking to the anger that we feel.
Speaker 3: So you know, maybe we finish up.
Speaker 1: This is the interview she's doing on CNN with somebody
Speaker 1: named Donnie O'Sullivan.
Speaker 3: Next clip, Michael.
Speaker 12: The women who got her outside coorsh in New York.
Speaker 11: So you're gonna see women especially that feel like, oh
Speaker 11: my god. Right, like, here's this man who who's revolutionary,
Speaker 11: who's famous, who's handsome, who's young, who's smart, He's a
Speaker 11: person that seems this like this morally good man, which
Speaker 11: is hard to find.
Speaker 1: He gunned down a young father on the streets of
Speaker 1: New York in cold blood because he didn't like something
Speaker 1: about healthcare insurance, even though the young man who'd had
Speaker 1: health problems was well served by his insurance company as
Speaker 1: far as anybody can.
Speaker 3: Tell, right, did you?
Speaker 1: And he's morally good.
Speaker 3: This was that dark columnist for.
Speaker 1: The big papers.
Speaker 3: That was an awful thing to say right there. Oh
Speaker 3: my god. One more clip I'm.
Speaker 12: Sure you wouldn't like to be compared to a Trump supporter.
Speaker 12: But some of some of how people cannot understand why
Speaker 12: people have sympathies for MANGIONI yeah, it strikes me as
Speaker 12: the same what as a media not understanding why people
Speaker 12: support Trump. I totally agree it's because a lot of
Speaker 12: people are just really really desperate.
Speaker 11: They want somebody to take on the system. They want
Speaker 11: somebody to tear down these barbaric establishment institutions.
Speaker 4: Taking on the system. There's lots of ways to take
Speaker 4: on the system. Run for office, you know, form a group,
Speaker 4: have a march, whatever. Shooting somebody in the back on
Speaker 4: his way to work is not a way to take
Speaker 4: on the system that.
Speaker 1: We allowately succeeded by somebody who just gets better security.
Speaker 1: That is such an adolescent, idiotic and amoral approach.
Speaker 3: It shocks the conscience that is.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't I don't know how you feel
Speaker 4: like civilization can succeed if we start that's taking on,
Speaker 4: you know, the big issues of our day.
Speaker 3: I know I'll just go murder them in cold blood.
Speaker 3: The people I disagree.
Speaker 1: With, Yeah, with no effect, right, you know, I'm crazy
Speaker 1: angry about I don't know taxes. Taxes are too high,
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna murder an IRS agent or secretary
Speaker 1: or just somebody anyway. As if that sh his nizzle
Speaker 1: isn't bad enough, how about this? Luisi Manngiuni is a
Speaker 1: saint according to his fans, Saint Luigi Patron Saint of
Speaker 1: healthcare access. For all their posts read. The twenty six
Speaker 1: year old accused killer is depicted online with a green mantle,
Speaker 1: a red sacred heart, a gold halo in his hand
Speaker 1: raised in benediction.
Speaker 3: Well, you are some twisted human beings. You're hurting your cause,
Speaker 3: as is often the case with these people. Normal people
Speaker 3: who hear you this are way less likely to support
Speaker 3: your universal health care belief than even before when they
Speaker 3: heard you.
Speaker 1: Right, you're crazy and stupid, and the things you think
Speaker 1: are helping you are crazy and stupid. You know, somebody
Speaker 1: like Taylor Lorenz is objectively not stupid. She is a
Speaker 1: perfect example, though, of what I would call at least
Speaker 1: like verbal intelligence, because she was a fairly successful columnist
Speaker 1: for a while, but utterly lacking in wisdom or perspective,
Speaker 1: I mean to the point of being like developmentally disabled.
Speaker 1: The term used to be retarded. I mean that was
Speaker 1: the official term. She has meant the moral retardation of
Speaker 1: some sort. That's hard to picture. But anyway, there's more
Speaker 1: moral retardation.
Speaker 3: I've never heard that before.
Speaker 1: Here's a supporter who writes, I hope Luigi doesn't have
Speaker 1: to die for us to receive free health care, like
Speaker 1: Jesus had to die for us to receive forgiveness.
Speaker 3: So they think it's going to lead to that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it.
Speaker 3: Oh, but there's so much you get.
Speaker 1: Like they're talking about the women who gather outside the
Speaker 1: court young. He's young. He Smarty's more Lincoln you can buy.
Speaker 1: You can buy devotional candles bearing mister Mangioni's image and
Speaker 1: a prayer of Saint Luigi on the back, A Saint
Speaker 1: Luigi Sherpa fleece Blanke. It'll set you back sixty nine
Speaker 1: ninety nine. A coffee mug for twelve dollars, a necklace
Speaker 1: for forty five dollars. A Patron Saint of Capitalism's Victims
Speaker 1: T shirt or Luigi Mangioni are Patron Saint of Healthcare
Speaker 1: T shirt. Both are twenty two ninety nine. You can
Speaker 1: buy Brace yourselves, folks, A Saint Luigi Christmas Ornament for
Speaker 1: sixteen ninety nine.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm starting to think it gets worse though.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, You're starting to think that your anti capitalist crowd,
Speaker 4: your Marxist crown, they're all morons. Remember that was my
Speaker 4: main takeaway when we did we did. We had a
Speaker 4: book club for one book. I think you me, Greg
Speaker 4: and Tim, and we read that book Heaven on Earth
Speaker 4: about Karl Marx. Yeah, and my takeaway was, he is
Speaker 4: just a dumb, crappy guy.
Speaker 3: I mean, he was just a market herself.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: He lived off his lived off all his friends and
Speaker 4: parents and like never did anything and it was a
Speaker 4: cheat and a liar and just lazy. So he like
Speaker 4: developed a worldview that would excuse his utter uselessness.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's marks a lot of that crowd. Is
Speaker 3: that way?
Speaker 1: All right, friends, here we go, here's where you despair
Speaker 1: for humanity. But you know what, Frankly, once you get
Speaker 1: where I am having despaired for humanity, it's kind of freeing.
Speaker 1: It's relaxing. An account on givesend Go, a Christian crowdfunding site,
Speaker 1: has raised more than eight hundred and thirty six thousand
Speaker 1: dollars for mister Mangioni's legal defense nearly a million dollars
Speaker 1: from a Christian crowdfunding site. He committed a cold blooded murder.
Speaker 1: A donor there rights I cried on my knees to
Speaker 1: God as a mother to keep you safe and mentally
Speaker 1: calm Luigi. Another describes mister Mangioni as a father to millions.
Speaker 1: The website offers three options to help mister Mangioni, give, share, pray, So.
Speaker 3: Darn it, it's always tough with these.
Speaker 4: This is just the same as like, you know, the
Speaker 4: assassins that want to kill Trump or school shooters are
Speaker 4: lots of different examples. Okay, is this a sometimes terrorists
Speaker 4: want to be terrorists? Is this a one off?
Speaker 11: Not?
Speaker 4: This person's mentally ill, This person's obviously mentally ill. Does
Speaker 4: it have any greater significance when a whole bunch of
Speaker 4: mentally ill people believe the same thing?
Speaker 3: I mean, what is going on there?
Speaker 4: Anybody who says that those last couple of comments those
Speaker 4: people are mentally ill?
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah they are?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So is this just yet.
Speaker 1: Another example of the Internet making it possible for someone
Speaker 1: with aberrant ideas that not one in one hundred people
Speaker 1: would agree with her buy or or not react with revulsion.
Speaker 1: They find thousands of like minds. It reinforces them. They
Speaker 1: get together, they raise their near a million dollars for
Speaker 1: a cold blooded murderer in the name of some sort
Speaker 1: of vague notion that the healthcare system sucks.
Speaker 4: And it does, by the way, it really needs help
Speaker 4: well right, and it could be improved. And I don't
Speaker 4: believe the government taken over healthcare would be better for it.
Speaker 4: But you get to believe that that's a perfectly valid
Speaker 4: political position. But you don't get to murder people about it.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's insane, obviously insane. See, there are a thing, yeah,
Speaker 4: I care about a lot too, that you might disagree with.
Speaker 4: Should I murder the people I don't agree with that.
Speaker 3: You might like?
Speaker 4: I mean, where would this end? I mean, have you
Speaker 4: thought this through, you dumbasses?
Speaker 1: So a woman by the name of faith Bottom I
Speaker 1: would change my last name is spelled differently, but nonetheless,
Speaker 1: because I'm childish, wrote a piece about this whole thing,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to hit you with the end of it.
Speaker 1: It's hard to know what mister MANGIONI thinks of his
Speaker 1: new fans in their iconography. In an old post on Twitter,
Speaker 1: he recommended users look at an article lamenting that quote.
Speaker 1: Christianity's decline has unleashed terrible new gods. The elevation of
Speaker 1: sainthood of an accused assassin seems a clear example of
Speaker 1: how terrible those new gods are. Mister Mangioni's fans, the
Speaker 1: ones wearing the T shirts and buying Pious Luigi keychains,
Speaker 1: will only get louder proclaiming him a martyr. More than
Speaker 1: forty percent of Americans age eighteen to twenty nine think
Speaker 1: the shooting of a healthcare the healthcare executive was acceptable
Speaker 1: or somewhat acceptable. More than forty percent, according to a poll,
Speaker 1: the sanctimonious fervor won't stop anytime soon. It's blasphemy, of course,
Speaker 1: the idea of saints is glorified killers, and probably few
Speaker 1: proclaiming his sanctity are actually religious. What all this kitch
Speaker 1: shows is an unserious nation that wants a folk hero.
Speaker 1: Mister Mangioni should not be it.
Speaker 3: And then there's the weird aspect. I'd like to be able.
Speaker 4: To run the experiment where you have the exact same
Speaker 4: set of circumstances but he's not good looking.
Speaker 1: On how much that will have an effect on the
Speaker 1: whole thing. Wow. Wow, And or somebody commits a cold
Speaker 1: blooded murder of a planned parenthood.
Speaker 4: Executive, right instance, if this guy didn't have dreamy eyes,
Speaker 4: how different would the whole story be. I don't know,
Speaker 4: and played a role there definitely in the beginning. We
Speaker 4: all know that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, and continues to I think absolutely. I
Speaker 1: think you know.
Speaker 3: Everybody. We've talked about this for ages.
Speaker 1: Psychological studies have shown that people react more positively to
Speaker 1: the attractive they assume they're more competent, more intelligent, nicer people, whatever,
Speaker 1: than they actually are. And if you're a stupid person,
Speaker 1: I'd imagine that sort of pull is even stronger. I mean,
Speaker 1: like I told the story of the person in a
Speaker 1: line of work. I won't describe because she never did
Speaker 1: anything to hurt anybody as far as I'm concerned, as
Speaker 1: far as I'm aware. But she's very very attractive girl.
Speaker 1: I mean, like you, you had to discipline yourself as
Speaker 1: a heterosexual male to look away that I had to
Speaker 1: interact with over the course of several quite a few weeks,
Speaker 1: and I finally got a chance to talk to her
Speaker 1: at length, and she was a vacuus pinhead. I wanted
Speaker 1: to talk about nothing but celebrity gossip and and so.
Speaker 1: But I recognize that, you know, uh so, yeah, if
Speaker 1: you are a half whit, Yeah, that that gravity must
Speaker 1: be irresistible, that he's good looking. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know what to make of all this except to despair
Speaker 1: for humanity. That's right earlier, yes, right, yeah, you gotta
Speaker 1: put that in hand.
Speaker 3: Got to put that in the mix, the old despair
Speaker 3: for humanity. Uh.
Speaker 4: We will finish strong mixt.
Speaker 3: Tomorrow's tax today. We'll have some good tax stuff for you.
Speaker 4: Some of the stats that we all should be reminded
Speaker 4: of every year, how many people don't pay taxes, and
Speaker 4: what a small amount of people pay most of the taxes,
Speaker 4: and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: I've been reading up on standardized deductions. Oh, I love
Speaker 1: talking about that.
Speaker 4: I've been reading up on strep throat because I think
Speaker 4: I have that, and I've never had it before, and
Speaker 4: I've got them in like in an hour, I've got
Speaker 4: an appointment. But the infection is generally transmitted by direct
Speaker 4: contact with the mucus or swerves of someone else with strap.
Speaker 4: I'm almost positive that I've come in contact with nobody's
Speaker 4: source in the last several days.
Speaker 3: Gulley means sentence, it is, but I'm like, I'm pretty
Speaker 3: dang sure.
Speaker 1: That I haven't. So I would like to launch into
Speaker 1: a comedic riff on that scene, but it's too disgusting
Speaker 1: even for me.
Speaker 4: I also, I didn't have to have to tell this tomorrow.
Speaker 4: I got rear ended in my two week old cyberbeast
Speaker 4: over the weekend. Oh no, I've never had a car
Speaker 4: that short amount on time before it got wrecked. Anyway,
Speaker 4: I'll talk about that tomorrow. I wanted to get this
Speaker 4: clip on again. We've already played it twice. It's that good.
Speaker 4: It's in the contender for Clip of the Year. Gail King,
Speaker 4: Katy Perry, and some other women got shot into space
Speaker 4: today and when they got down they talked to Gail King,
Speaker 4: Oprah's friend and this is how it went.
Speaker 3: How would you describe it?
Speaker 1: It's very difficult because you're you're floating. But the best
Speaker 1: part was when we got back in.
Speaker 4: Our seats after zero G's Katie sang, what.
Speaker 1: A wonderful world.
Speaker 4: She did that nice, She said, what a wonderful I
Speaker 4: see dreams?
Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, yes, oh. Because We've been asking her
Speaker 1: to sing all the time, and she wouldn't and she wouldn't.
Speaker 4: And then because everybody said sing, roar, sing fire and
Speaker 4: she said, it's not about me.
Speaker 3: I wanted to talk about the world.
Speaker 1: Wow, you know, is that nice? You got to ask
Speaker 1: her about that?
Speaker 3: That is so so hard to take the whole thing.
Speaker 4: So you were asking Katy Perry during the coolest thing
Speaker 4: you've ever done in your life, getting to go up
Speaker 4: in a racket and everything like that, to sing some
Speaker 4: of her hits on.
Speaker 3: The way back down. What the hell?
Speaker 1: It's such a lame thing.
Speaker 4: It is. It is so lame. And then that woman's
Speaker 4: reaction to she sang Order for War. She reacted like
Speaker 4: she just saw her child. Oh see for the first
Speaker 4: time after or something?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 3: Oh she did?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Did everybody cry?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 1: Why because they're so weird it out that you begged
Speaker 1: her to sing.
Speaker 3: Dude, we're dudes, Katie.
Speaker 4: Are we overreacting here in our mocking of women and
Speaker 4: their emotions?
Speaker 3: Not even a little bit?
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, it is so unspeakably lame to
Speaker 1: badger performer. I mean, you're in a fundraiser with your
Speaker 1: favorite music, sing your hit for me?
Speaker 3: Sing it.
Speaker 1: No, that makes you an ignorantus and an a hole.
Speaker 8: Wow, he holes in space.
Speaker 3: It's final thoughts.
Speaker 1: I'm strong again.
Speaker 3: It's I'm strong. You're ready, Katie Green.
Speaker 7: And.
Speaker 3: It's strong. Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 1: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew
Speaker 1: to wrap things up for the day. There he is Michaelangelo,
Speaker 1: our technical director. Michael, what's your final thought?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 3: If that was clip of the year, this is gonna
Speaker 3: be co clip of the years.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 2: You drive in, you drive out, you have jump cars,
Speaker 2: you drive.
Speaker 8: That's what people the driveways more.
Speaker 3: I could not love that clip.
Speaker 1: Morn Michael is so right, Katie Steam Newswoman.
Speaker 3: As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 5: That reporter needed to ask a follow up, and yet
Speaker 5: Gail King to name names who asked Katie Perry to
Speaker 5: sing roarer up there?
Speaker 3: I want to know was.
Speaker 5: It Bezos and his fiance wasn't I'm.
Speaker 4: Surprised Katy Perry didn't roll her eyes so hard that
Speaker 4: it set the ship off its path.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no kidding, Jack.
Speaker 4: Final thought for us, Ah, this is a health tip
Speaker 4: for you. I have swollen lymph nodes and chills and
Speaker 4: a sore throat. Try not to come in contact with
Speaker 4: the direct contact with the mucus or sores of someone
Speaker 4: with strap indirect contact.
Speaker 3: That's fine, that's fine. My final thought.
Speaker 1: Having intended the Masters over the weekend, the Master's golf
Speaker 1: tournament is absolutely fabulous.
Speaker 3: One of the best parts. Nobody screaming good no or.
Speaker 1: Mashed potatoes after somebody hits it, because if you do,
Speaker 1: they'll throw your ass out. It's called standards. If you
Speaker 1: have high standards, you get better behavior. It works every time, and.
Speaker 4: We need more of that everywhere, schools, movie theaters, naming
Speaker 4: the place.
Speaker 3: I'm Strong and Getty. We'll see you tomorrow.
Speaker 4: God bless America.
Speaker 8: I'm Strong and Getty.
Speaker 3: I think it takes two to tango. That's in heaven.
Speaker 10: I think your star spangled all so good, so good,
Speaker 10: let's go with a You know, I kind of consider
Speaker 10: myself the number one female pleasure in device on Earth.
Speaker 3: Jack, that's the worst thing you have ever said.
Speaker 1: It really is that things that things number two at best.
Speaker 3: Wow, arm Strong and Getty
