1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: Time, blindness and other musings. It's one more thing. I'm 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:12,120 Speaker 1: strong and Getty one more thing. So we got onto 3 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: the topic of stretching on the Armstrong and Getty Show today. 4 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: Joe's a big advocate of it, and it just obviously 5 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: is a good idea and everybody should be doing it. 6 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 1: And I don't know how it hasn't become part of 7 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: our national hygiene in terms of things we talk about 8 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: with kids all the time. Don't smoke, stay out of 9 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: the sun, and stretch. It's ad stretch to that. 10 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's because kids hardly need to, and 11 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 2: you just the need grows as you get older. And 12 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 2: our our median culture, so you know, have been so 13 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 2: oriented towards stuff for young people. 14 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: I don't know, if you play any sports even when 15 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: you're young, these they have you stretch all the time. 16 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 3: But I remember them telling me to stretch, and me 17 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 3: stretching and feeling nothing and wondering why I was doing right. 18 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: That's funny watching my niece, who was an athlete stretched 19 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: all the time. She got like put both head leg 20 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: feet behind her head and stuff like, it's like, what 21 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: are you stretching exactly? You seemed to be rubber, but 22 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: we got this text about it. I thought it was 23 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: interesting stretching. What's your cat or dog the first thing 24 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: they do when they wake up his stretch, Well, you 25 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: ends up big brains. Apparently overcame that. Yeah, most animals 26 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: that they do that regularly, they stretch. I'm flexible and 27 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: I'm not a cat. So since we got on the 28 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 1: topic of stretching, I brought up the story of being 29 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: at a farmer's market with my kids and this dude 30 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: walked in front of me in sunglasses, did the splits 31 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: down to the ground, pulled a can out of his backpack, 32 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: opened it up, and started eating eggs out of a can. 33 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: Canned eggs. 34 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 4: A delicacy. 35 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: And I don't know if he like put the eggs 36 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: in a can, or if you can buy canned eggs 37 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: or what. He was prepared for this little thing. And 38 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: it was very odd, and my kids were like, Dad, 39 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: what's going on here? And I didn't know, and eventually 40 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: we walked away. Then I googled it and it turned 41 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: out it was like TikTok craze or something in my 42 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: town or something. Anyway, a guy goes around doing the 43 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: splits in front of people and eating canned eggs to 44 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: get in a reaction. Somebody else films it. I don't know. 45 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 3: Katie's done a little research on this. He is the 46 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 3: lone trend master. Okay, he's splits and the eggs. He's 47 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 3: the only guy doing it.

He's 93 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: not the body type you generally expect out of somebody 94 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: who can immediately drop to the ground and do the splits. 95 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: And he's wear geens. 96 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 4: People are saying, this guy's the reason I carry a taser. 97 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: No, he seems completely harmless.

The original, 133 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: most famous one was the Urinal. Was a picture of 134 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: a urinal, or was an actual urinal. It took a 135 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: France and New York by storm. I just that sort 136 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: of crap. I just I have no appreciation for whatsoever whatever. Okay, 137 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: so it's way different than nobody ever expected a urinal 138 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: could be art. Yeah, you're right for a reason, because 139 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: it's not. Because it's not. Yeah, well do you. 140 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 3: Guys remember where that it was some museum or art 141 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 3: set up where they taped a banana to. 142 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: The wall, right, yeah, all that sort of stuff. I 143 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: just yeah, I just I don't. 144 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 3: Friend, I could get behind were the people that were 145 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 3: when you stand there and you fill your mouth with 146 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 3: water and then you slap the person across from me 147 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 3: with a tortilla and see you spits the water out 148 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 3: of their mouth first. 149 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 4: That was a good one. 150 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: Well, slapping his time honor, that was art. 151 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 4: Yeah. 152 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, speaking of that sort of thing, I was 153 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 2: looking at Apple's Best Albums list that they came out 154 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 2: with it. It was still controversial because they're saying, hey, perhaps 155 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 2: you'd like to listen to some of these they were 156 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 2: on the best Albums list. And I came across the 157 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 2: Velvet Underground with Nico with the Warhole banana on the cover, 158 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 2: which reminded me of that, you know, when I first 159 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: listened to that album, because I was told if you're 160 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 2: a music hipster, you got to I thought it sucked, 161 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 2: and then I went back to it twenty years later 162 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: probably and it still sucked. And I gave it a 163 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 2: spin the other day and it sucks worse. It sucks. 164 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: I hate that album. It sucks. There you have it. 165 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: And The Velvet Underground was hanging out with Andy Warhol 166 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: in the factory in New York and making weird music, 167 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: and yeah, if everything is art, nothing is art. That's 168 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: the way I feel about that thing. 169 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't hate everything the Velvet Underground does, 170 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 2: but that is definitely one of those pieces of quote 171 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,239 Speaker 2: unquote art that's been fetishized to the point that maybe 172 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 2: it's possible I don't get it.
