Our topic here 23 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 1: is sports and sports events, and somebody says to you, hey, 24 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: don't tell me what happened.

Okay, there are two kinds of people, 26 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: and the second kind are not welcome on the camp 27 00:01:54,360 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: CanCon trip cause they're dicks. Group number one here is, hey, 28 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: don't tell me who won the British Open, because I 29 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: really want to go watch it on the dvr. Group 30 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: one says, cool, you got it. 31 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: No, I says, hey, but you're gonna be disappointed. 32 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: Right Group two dicks say, well, you're gonna love it, 33 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: especially if you're rooting for Scottie Scheffler. I despise you. 34 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 2: I despise you. 35 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: You are I'm going to psychoanalyze you. All you're doing. 36 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: There is saying I know something you don't do, and 37 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: I have power over you, and I'm going to tell 38 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: you it's pathetic. It's sad. You have the choice between 39 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: an act of kindness and showing off like a four 40 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: year old that you know something, and you have chosen 41 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: the second. Damn you, Damn you. 42 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 3: I think I was four years old when I ran 43 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 3: into the house one time and said to my dad, 44 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 3: would it be a big problem if mam rand into 45 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 3: the garage with the car, why do you ask son? 46 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 3: Oh man, uh yeah, I know, I know. Or it's 47 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 3: similar with the movie I'm going to see whatever. Oh boy, 48 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 3: waite till you see what happens with and then they 49 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 3: lay something out. 50 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: Why why did you do that? Up? I get to 51 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: show off knowledge. 52 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: You've seen it. 53 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: And I haven't. 54 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 2: I mean, I understand that. 55 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, yeah, I just I probably shouldn't go on. 56 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: I've hurt enough feelings as I do everywhere I go. 57 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 4: Ah. 58 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 3: My problem is, you know, I suppose I could avoid 59 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 3: this by not having my phone handy all the time. Oh, 60 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 3: the problem is I watch almost all sports on my phone. 61 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 3: I'm behind on a baseball game, football game, basketball game, whatever, 62 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 3: particularly championships, and then well the news bulletin will scroll 63 00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 3: down on my thing. 64 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: You know, the Yankees when they're fourth time. 65 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: Ah, why did you do that? I'm still watching, you know. 66 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: I meant to mention that it's in if if you 67 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: if that happens, that's entirely on you. Oh of course 68 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: you got to go to full radio silence. That's happened 69 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: to me before. And a buddy said, dude, if you 70 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: don't want to hear about it, turn off your you know, 71 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: go to do not disturb so you don't see my 72 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: text come in. That's not on me. And I said, 73 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: you know what, you're absolutely right, yeah, yea, so sure anyway, 74 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: that's what I did. But and oddly enough, the guy 75 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: who said something to me about the British open history 76 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: said something so weird and vague. It turned out not 77 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: to give anything away, but it felt like he had 78 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: to say something very strange. All right, speaking of hurting feelings, 79 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: we are both fully cognizant of the fact that we 80 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: are a nation of immigrants quote unquote how the country 81 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: got formed the believes of immigrants through history. Blah yeah, 82 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: huddle as, that's right, that's that the old statue of liberty. 83 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: Ought to mind your own damn business as just like 84 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: a seventy foot tall woman, you know, gotta give her opinion. Anyway, 85 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: that's kind of a lead up to a discussion. I 86 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: saw a headline in the Pinia section of the Journal 87 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: Colbert in the end of Late night TV, and I'm like, what, 88 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: I don't care. That doesn't matter to me whether Colbert 89 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: has a show or not. That's a stupid article. I'm 90 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: canceling my subscription then I saw it was written by 91 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: Ben Sass, of all people, former Midwestern senator, a president 92 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: of the University of Florida system helped them get away 93 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: from woke, reformed them. And I admire Ben as a 94 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: thinker a great deal. And so I read this and 95 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: the first part was about the dollars and cents a 96 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: little bit and the politicization blah blah blah. But then 97 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: he got into his main point, which ought to be 98 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: incredibly controversial, except nobody read this and knows it happened 99 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: back when it used to be crazy fashionable to say 100 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: diversity is our greatest strength. And that was said over 101 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: and over and over again. It was the classic lie 102 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: that becomes the truth just through repetition, and I would 103 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: frequently respond, no, unity is our greatest strength. Diversity can 104 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: be cool and interesting, but clearly unity is our greatest strength. 105 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: And Ben's main point in this part about the Colbert 106 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: Show is that we are seeing the fading of the 107 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: final vestiges of common culture. And he talks about, you know, 108 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: it's not nearly as significant as Carson and Letterman and 109 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: that sort of thing, but it is a national show 110 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: people watch even fairly small numbers, and how we're losing that. 111 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: He writes, here's the main point. As much as the 112 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: big guys made a meaningful mark on American culture, they 113 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: weren't essential to the life of the republic. But this 114 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,119 Speaker 1: fading of an era is occasional to acknowledge that having 115 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: some shared things does matter to a stable political culture. 116 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: The Founders fully understood this. Here's the controversial part. When Poplius, 117 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: which was a pen name, obviously wrote about the preconditions 118 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: for a free society In Federalists Too, he declared Americans 119 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: quote one united people, speaking the same language, professing the 120 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: same religion, attached to the same principles of. 121 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 2: Government, were none of those things. 122 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: Now, the Constitution requires a certain amount of unity, at 123 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: least a minimal shared conception of the common good. The 124 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: monoculture of the twentieth century was by no means robust 125 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: enough for what the Founders thought we must share. But 126 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: as it fades to black and were increasingly siloed by 127 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: algorithms in the digitization of daily life, it's important to 128 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: understand together that will likely never have a shared mass 129 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: culture to unite us again, and America depends on a 130 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: shared sense of we. I'd say the. 131 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 2: Closest thing we have at this point. 132 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 3: I think about this with music a lot, because like 133 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 3: my one son was really into one kind of music 134 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 3: and my other son's into a different kind. But when 135 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 3: like Joe and I were young, because we're one hundred 136 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 3: years old, like, there's there's like everybody listened to mostly 137 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 3: the same thing pretty much. I mean, there's this if 138 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 3: if a song was a hit, if a song was 139 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 3: a big hit, everybody knew it, even if it wasn't 140 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 3: your cup of tea, everybody knew the big hit. But 141 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 3: there's nothing close to that now. I think the only 142 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 3: thing we have left is the NFL. The NFL would 143 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 3: be the closest to it. 144 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. And then his final final point 145 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: is the task of rebuilding a shared constitutional CIVIX thus 146 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: has never been more urgent, his point being m we 147 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: don't have a common one united people exactly speaking the 148 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same 149 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: principles of government, watching the same shows. So we'd better 150 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: make sure that the same principle as a government thing 151 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: is taught and understood by everybody. In other words, yeah, 152 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: the universal support for the Constitution came from universally held values, 153 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: and we don't really have those anymore. So we really 154 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: really need to teach the kids why our system is 155 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: great and why it works so well. I don't and 156 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: in schools they're doing the opposite. 157 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 2: I don't actually know how big a deal this is. 158 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 3: The no common experiences, it makes life less fun. It 159 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 3: certainly doesn't seem like having less in common does this 160 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 3: any good. No, You're gonna have music that certain groups 161 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 3: listen to, and TV shows and movies that certain groups 162 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 3: watch and listen to. And I guarantee you like we 163 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 3: play a lot of clips from Greg Guttfeld, who actually 164 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 3: has pretty good ratings compared to the the late night shows. 165 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 3: Sometimes he's the number one. I guarantee you there's giant 166 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 3: chunks of America have never even heard his name. 167 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well, I was just gonna say. That's part 168 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: of the reason our politics is so corrosive at this 169 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: point is people are siloing themselves in a lot of 170 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: different ways, whether you know just their social circles or 171 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: their online circles or where they live. And they don't 172 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: know if they're progressives, liberals, they don't know conservatives and 173 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: vice versa. So it makes it much more easy to 174 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: imagine them some sort of horrific demons. I remember that 175 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: was one of the main thrusts of the gay rights 176 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: movement and why so many were enthusiastic about urging people 177 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: to come out of the closet. It's because when you 178 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: found out that your accountant, your neighbor, your co worker, 179 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: your whatever, was gay, and they seemed perfectly fine, they 180 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: just swung a different way that made it much more 181 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: difficult to indulge some sort of weird conception you might 182 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: have had in your mind. 183 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 2: Correct. 184 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with Ben Sass overall. I don't think 185 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 3: Colbert is the reason to write this article. 186 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 2: Though. 187 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 3: He had abandoned any sense of trying to talk to 188 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 3: all of America a long time ago, so people who 189 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 3: lean right haven't been watching him for years. He was 190 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 3: only speaking to lefties already. 191 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: I think Ben Sass was just looking for an excuse 192 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: to write what he really wanted to write. Gotcha, it'll 193 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: be interesting to see going forward. Unity is our greatest strength. 194 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: I stand by those words. Will you be around to 195 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: see the future. Take these simple tests at home to 196 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: see how well you're aging or wherever you are. 197 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 3: I remember when we did the one about how many 198 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 3: times you could stand up from a chair with your 199 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 3: arms crossed over your chest was a really good predictor 200 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 3: of your life expectancy. 201 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: That's actually one of them. 202 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: Okay, my parents did that when they heard us talking 203 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 3: about that, and scored very well. I look forward to this, 204 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 3: stay tuned, Armstrong and getty. 205 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 5: Obviously, Bill could not work as Billy Joel, so he 206 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 5: got a job at a place called the Executive Room. 207 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 6: My full name is William Martin Joel, so I was 208 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 6: Bill Martin at the keyboards. 209 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 2: It was a small local. 210 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 6: Bar and it had one of these pianos that had 211 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 6: a leatherette rim around it so people could lean on 212 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 6: the piano while they were drinking. I knew this is 213 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 6: a real life experience, and I thought I got to 214 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 6: get a song out of this. And that's where the 215 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 6: Piano Man song came from. 216 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 3: New documentary about Billy Joel coming out and he is 217 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 3: explaining where Piano Man came from. I as a Billy 218 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 3: Joel fanatic back when I was in high school, I 219 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 3: knew that story is on the run from some people 220 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 3: and didn't want to be found. Back when you could 221 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 3: do that sort of thing just went by his middle name, 222 00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 3: any who. 223 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: Lovely fella getting older. I had to cancel some shows lately. 224 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: Billy Well crashed into the same house twice. It's a 225 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: nice house right there at the corner. What are you 226 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: gonna do? Billy should take a number of these simple 227 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: home tests that can give you a good idea of 228 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: how well you're aging, how you ought to pick up 229 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: your effort. Yes, I'm exemplary. My aging process is amazing. 230 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: These simple home tests can give you a good idea. 231 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: No fancy lab require just a toothbrush. Just stop watch 232 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: any sense of humor? What do I gotta do with 233 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: that toothbrush? Oh boy? One and surprisingly useful way to 234 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: test your balance is to stand on one leg while 235 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: brushing your teeth. 236 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,719 Speaker 2: I'm not good at it, saying, but I never have been. Yeah, 237 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 2: I don't. 238 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 3: I don't want to get us distracted. But I've never 239 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 3: been good at standing on one lady. 240 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, you know. It's funny part of the fitness 241 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: thing I'm doing, which is partly golf related. But they 242 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: work on your balance, that's import and for any sport. 243 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: And I am a miserable failure at standing on one 244 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: leg with my eyes closed, and so there are different 245 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: increments that you practice on, but they want you to 246 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: get to a certain number of seconds, and it's really 247 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: hard for me. 248 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 3: One of my kids can do that. He could do 249 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 3: it all day long. Wow, for some reason. 250 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: So if you can stand on one leg while brushing 251 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: your teeth for thirty seconds or more, that's a great 252 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: sign of lower body strength, coordination, and postural stability. 253 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 2: Oh that's what I'm always looking for. 254 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: The ps A twenty twenty two study found that people 255 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: who could not balance on one leg for ten seconds 256 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: had an eighty four percent higher risk. 257 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 2: Of falling over to death. 258 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: No death over a median follow up of seven years, 259 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: compared to those who could. 260 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 2: That's incredible, I mean that's quite a number. Yeah. 261 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: Well, and most er doctors could tell you why. Balance 262 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: is like a superpower for healthy aging. It reduces falls, 263 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: which is a huge source of damage and death and infection, 264 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: supports mobility, and can be improved at any age. 265 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, one thing. 266 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: In the way of my joint replates replacements, I realized 267 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: a lot of my muscles had shortened an atrophied in 268 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: ways I hadn't understood. And the stabilizing muscles that are 269 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: like you know, everybody knows the quads and the hamstrings 270 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, but it's the little muscles around 271 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: the edges that stabilize you that are really important anyway, 272 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: So there's the uh, standing on one leg for as 273 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: long as you can at least ten seconds. Grip strength 274 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: is more than just opening jars. It's a powerful indicator 275 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: of overall health, predicting heart health, cognitive function, and even 276 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: mortality risk. You can test grip strength mind is outstanding 277 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: using a hand dynamomeiter or. 278 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 2: Simply we'll get mine out, oh. 279 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, or simply taking a note of everyday tasks, is 280 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: opening bottles, carrying groceries, or using tools becoming harder. 281 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 2: Well, we've talked about this before. 282 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 3: Grip strength has been going down for males generation by 283 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 3: generational lot. 284 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. Let's see the floor to feet feet 285 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: Now this has got two versions. Can you sit on 286 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: the floor and stand without using your hands? Yes, but 287 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: there's going to be a hell of a lot of grunting. 288 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 3: I don't know that I can, Like, I don't know floor, 289 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 3: how how am I sitting? 290 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: However you want? 291 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 2: I don't know if there's a way I could sit 292 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 2: that I could stand up without using my hands. I 293 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 2: have to think about that. 294 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: This is a test of a it's a true measure 295 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: of your lower body strength and flexibility, which are essential 296 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: for daily activities and again reduce the risk of falls. 297 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: If you can do it, you're in great shape. If 298 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: it's too tough, tough, try the sit to stand test, 299 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: which you mentioned in the prior segment, using a chair 300 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: no arms. See how many sit to stand transitions you 301 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: can do in thirty seconds that I was. 302 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 3: Really good on. I'll have to try this sitting down 303 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 3: and standing up thing. I'll do that during the commercials. 304 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: I will not because of all the grunting there is that. 305 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: There are actually a couple of mental tests that we 306 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: don't have time for. We can get to those next segment. Okay, yeah, 307 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 1: they're super easy too. I want to know when I'm 308 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: going to die so I can spend accordingly. 309 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 3: I mean, if it's going to be like next year, 310 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 3: I'm going to go out and get a new car. 311 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 2: Might as well. Okay, all that's on the way. 312 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: Stay here, armstrong and getty. 313 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 3: So we're discussing various physical things you do can do 314 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 3: to measure how likely it is you're going to live 315 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 3: to a ripe, old age or die soon and a 316 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 3: couple of them I tried during the commercial break. Now 317 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 3: I simulated brushing my teeth standing on one leg. I 318 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,959 Speaker 3: can do that as long as I need to do it. 319 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 3: So I'm okay on that one. But the okay before 320 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 3: we move on, Well, I was doing that one. 321 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: I thought, you know, it'd be funny if I lost 322 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: my balance doing this, fell over, crack my head, and died. 323 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: That would be He was trying to do a test 324 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: to assess how well he was aging and whether he 325 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 1: might die when he lost his balance.

How 341 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 3: would you sit on a floor? 342 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: Well, I have certainly been amongst youngsters, particularly teenage girls 343 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: in my coaching career, who could sit Indian style. See 344 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 1: and at Trump's behest, I've stopped saying Chris Cross applesauce 345 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: number one because I'm not five years old number two. Anyway, 346 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: they would and they would just like push themselves up 347 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: like they or on some sort of scissors machine to 348 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: rise up. And there's no freaking way I was doing that. 349 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 3: I can't sit Indian leg style, which might be a 350 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 3: sign if I sit on my butt with my legs out, 351 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 3: there's no way I can stand up without using my hands. 352 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 3: I can't even imagine how you could. And I'm in 353 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 3: like the best shape. 354 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: Exactly my experience. I was like, wait a minute, I 355 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: can't even conceive from. 356 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 3: Right, and I'm like the best shape of my life 357 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 3: in terms of that sort of stuff. 358 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 2: But I so, I don't know how you'd sit on 359 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 2: the floor. 360 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 3: If I'm if I were were to sit on the floor, 361 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 3: and I'm like kneeling, but sitting on my heels, is that. 362 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 2: Considered sitting on the floor, I can stand up from there. 363 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: I don't know sitting I think your your butt is 364 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: in full contact. 365 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 3: I can't even imagine the way in which I would 366 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 3: try to stand from me. 367 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: Interestingly, it said without using your hands. Well it's got 368 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: to mean arms. 369 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 3: You can't use your elbows, and yeah, that'd be the 370 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 3: same thing as using your hands. 371 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: What percentage of grown ass men can possibly get up 372 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: from sitting without using their arms? Yeah? 373 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 2: Maybe not very many. 374 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 3: All right? 375 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: Anyway, so very very briefly, if you're just tuning in 376 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: where were you? Secondly, test your balance standing on one leg. 377 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: Will brushing your teeth thirty seconds or more as great, 378 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: But if you can't do it for ten seconds, you'll 379 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 1: probably be dead by the end of the week. Grip 380 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: strength in general, but your teeth will be shiny and white. 381 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: We did that. We did the floor to feet feet 382 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: and the sit to stand test using a chair no arms. 383 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: See how many sit to stand transitions you can do 384 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: in thirty seconds? And they don't really give a scale, 385 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: but I would suggest if you can't do you know 386 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: a good I could. 387 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 2: Look that up. 388 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 3: The New York Times had it when we did it 389 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 3: last year, they had the number you should have at 390 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 3: each age range, and my dad was like doing it 391 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 3: like a twenty five year old. 392 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's amazing. 393 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 3: Sitting on the edge of the chair, hands folded over 394 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,479 Speaker 3: your chest and you stand up, sit by down, stand up, 395 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 3: sit back down. 396 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: And for probably interrelated reasons, you can figure out it's 397 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: a good measure of lower limb function, balance and muscle strength, 398 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,959 Speaker 1: but can also predict people at risk and falls in 399 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: cardiovascular issues, probably because the one is that leads directly 400 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: to the other. 401 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting. The thing was from the New York 402 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 2: Times article. 403 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: It was. 404 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 3: The ability to like quickly catch your balance if you 405 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 3: stumble is a real big deal when you're old, and 406 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 3: do you have that or not? Like you trip or something, 407 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 3: can you get that other leg out to stop yourself 408 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 3: from all going all the way down. 409 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: Or not right? Which is why I constantly practice my 410 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: soft shoe dancing. 411 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 3: Skills' thy, I'm in my tap. That's why I'm constantly 412 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 3: tripping people. I stand bying corners and I just stick 413 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 3: my leg out. I'm helping you. 414 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 1: Say you have a deficit, you wouldn't be sprawled out 415 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: on the floor like that if you have normal react 416 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: blah blah bah cognitive function. There are all sorts of 417 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 1: complex and sophisticated tests, but some basic home tests are 418 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: surprisingly telling. Try naming as many animals as you can 419 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: in thirty seconds. Fewer than twelve might indicate concern Taylor, 420 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: more than eighteen is it? 421 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 2: That is an idiot? Human? 422 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: Right? 423 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 3: Indeed, as many animals as you can in thirty seconds? Yeah, 424 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 3: and how many do I need to do to not 425 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 3: be insane? 426 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: Get more than fewer than twelve is a problem. More 427 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 1: than eighteen is a really good sign. 428 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 2: Okay, I might try that later. 429 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. Try spelling the word world backwards d l r 430 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: ow d lr, you got it? Or recalling a short 431 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: list of three items after a few minutes. It's an 432 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: important strategy to enhance memory and older adults. And then 433 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: they get in something of hippopotamus. They'd never heard anybody 434 00:22:54,640 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: do it that well, Apple, hippopotamus. Doctor. These kinds of oh, 435 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: challenge yourself with puzzles, sudoko, learn a new skill. These 436 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: kinds of verbal fluency and memory recall tests are simple 437 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: ways to spot early changes and brain health. But don't 438 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: panic if you blank. Occasionally, everyone forgets where they left 439 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: their keys sometimes or names and that sort of thing. 440 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 3: It's just an inevitable part of aging. Start a thirty 441 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 3: second time, or somebody, somebody do this for me. You ready, Michael, 442 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 3: Here we go thirty. I'm gonna go cat, dog, wildebeast, rhinoceros, giraffe, lion, pig, duck, snake, fish, Uh. 443 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 3: Out of animals already? But how many did I have there? 444 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 3: Didn't wake out? 445 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: You think you got eleven? Okay, so I'm no, oh, no, 446 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: wow at eleven when you know what you know what 447 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: I found, I'd like to analyze your performance. I would 448 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: have stuck, like, gone from geographic area a geographic area 449 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: because you hit like some African creatures, then immediately went 450 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: like one or two farm creatures and a domestic I 451 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: would have exhausted all domestic creatures, moved on to the farm. 452 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: If I had it to Africa, if I had time. 453 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 3: To strategize, I would do that, and I think I 454 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,640 Speaker 3: would do well. But off the top of the see 455 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 3: it came to me in the blink of an eye. Well, 456 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 3: clearly that's a difference. I'm not gonna make it. 457 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: As I'm rolling around, grunting on my elbows trying to 458 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,479 Speaker 1: get up in the air.
