WEBVTT - Pork-O-Max 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:06.240 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:10.840 Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. I'm strong 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:17.320 and Jetty enough, he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:26.080 Oh, so what we saw were crimes of poverty. 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.120 People who are stealing things like tooth based people who 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:32.760 are stealing things like, you know, a soap, And. 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:35.240 That means that you're stealing those things you need them. 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:39.920 Man, there's a New York state representative explaining why crimes 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.280 of poverty should not be criminalized. 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:43.559 She goes on, we. 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:49.159 Are choosing to protect billion dollar companies like CBS and 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:54.800 Walgreens over the people who are struggling. 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:54.800 To get by. 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.560 So I would say that the true crime is that 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:04.000 there is such incredible wealth disparity in this city where 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.400 there are people who can be prawn in jail simply 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:09.360 for having a biological need. 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:14.000 But don't worry, rest of America, those ideas and laws 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:15.800 are coming to a state near you. In fact, they're 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:17.880 working on it in California as we speak. 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:22.520 The real news is not that we have billionaire companies 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:23.240 blah blah blah. 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:23.319 Oh. 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.800 The real news we have communists in our government. Yes, 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:31.080 good Lord, there have been periods in our history where 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.520 there were a lot more poor people and a lot 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:41.680 more precarious situations for various needs, and we didn't legalize theft. 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:43.280 We didn't decide. 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:48.000 You know, times are kind of tough with they it's 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.320 the late seventies or whenever you want to pick rough 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:52.280 economic time. Things are kind of rough right now. So 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.920 go ahead and steal toothpaste and deodor and bread and 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:55.520 stuff like that. 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.840 Why how far have we come from an ethos where 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.360 not only would you never stealed, you wouldn't even accept charity. 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.640 I know, I know. I was talking to my kids 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:04.920 about this. 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:06.840 We were listening to an old timey country song Merle 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.120 Haggard song, Hey hey, working man, working man like me, 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.120 never been on welfare, and that's one place I won't 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:13.560 be when that used to be like something to be 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:17.280 so proud of. No matter how tough things got, I'll 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.720 get a second job, but I'm not gonna not be 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.800 a steal or. 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.040 You should be on welfare all the time and never 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:26.960 work at all, and then if you want extra stuff, 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.760 steal it. Yeah, that's I would say. That's say different 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:35.040 ethos going on. As mentioned, they're working on it in California. 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:35.959 Next clip, Michael. 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.000 The amendments make it clear that this policy only applies 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:43.040 to low level theft crimes, no felonies, and codifies case law. 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.160 And while we have diversion programs for drugs and mental health, 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.240 we do not have the same for crimes of necessity 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:50.160 led by poverty. 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:56.959 The idea, So, this is the thing that drives me 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:01.959 nuts about the socialists is how did they think grocery stores, 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:06.600 convenience stores, you know, the pharmacies. How do they think 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.400 their business model works? Store you can just absorb a 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.560 certain amount of theft, that's fine, you know, if all 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.640 the small items get stolen, we'll just continue to operate 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:17.680 like we have in the past. 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:19.359 It'll have no effect on it whatsoever. 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.280 If there's one commonality among those people, I think it 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.080 is they have no idea how economics work. They certainly 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:26.240 have no idea how business. 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:30.360 Don't have to take an economics class in college to 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:34.960 think this store has stuff they sell. They can't just 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.720 give it away, right, They had to pay for it 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:39.200 to get it. 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.480 Is one of our emailers indicated we're practically the richest. 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.280 I mean, aside from like a couple of oil emirates 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.440 We're the richest country on earth. Are poor, live more 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.840 richly than most people on Earth. So the idea that 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.360 they're so destitute they have to steal soap is just ludicrous. 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:02.680 And it's funny. And about this briefly earlier, and I'm 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:06.240 in the spot where it's like somebody proposes legalizing rape, 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.119 and I've got to say, well, logistically, now there would 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:09.960 be challenges with that. 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:13.880 No, we're not even going there. We're not gonna legalize theft. 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.800 If you really kind of want to steal stuff or 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.280 really claim you need it, I could say, all right, 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.240 what are we gonna do? Have a means test every 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:26.160 time somebody gets arrested for palming some shaving cream. I mean, 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.239 how the hell would that work in the real world. 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:29.599 But I don't even want to go there. 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.839 Well, I vowed earlier because they're talking about legalizing it 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.240 in California. If they do that, I will start stealing. 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:38.640 I am absolutely, one hundred percent gonna start stealing. I've 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.400 never seen me up some band aids. I'm about out. 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.560 I've never stolen anything in my life. But I will 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.800 start stealing if they decide that that's just a thing. 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:50.159 Yeah, that would be a pretty good protest. Uh, it 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.920 would be tough on the businesses, but I believe they 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:57.200 would rise up on moss. And you've mentioned this several times. 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:00.000 Usually it has to do with urban decay and junkie 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:04.520 and crimes. But companies never say I know what they 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:08.039 mean because they're afraid of running a foul of progressive politicians. 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.159 When all the lead every retailer in America to say 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.159 stealing is stealing. You ought to arrest them and put 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.400 them in jail. Or we're closing our damn stores. 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.760 When all those Walgreens closed in the Bay Area or 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.120 in and Out had to finally close in Oakland or whatever. 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.680 You say it out loud, say this town is too 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.360 crappy to do business. Yes, say it. 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:33.120 Kaylee mcinnaney is discussing the California law with Republican Carl 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.040 Demayo in this clip, what is. 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:35.919 A crime of necessity? 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:41.440 Well, basically, the Democrats say that if you're poor, that 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.560 forces you to go out and rob a store. 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:44.839 Now, let me be very clear. 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:50.279 No one is robbing stores for food, bread, eggs, milk, 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:54.400 or butter. They're stealing nikes in PlayStations. Let's be very 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.719 clear about what crimes and what criminals they're trying to 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.680 protect with these diversion programs. 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:05.080 Yeah, but also Carl, not that you're wrong, but there's 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.280 a huge history of people taking an arm and sweeping 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.760 off the shelf of the CBS, the contents of the 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:12.679 shelf right into their garbage bag. 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:14.719 Then they set up tables. 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.680 Like on the sidewalk outside the store and sell the 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:19.359 stuff for a discount on the street. 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.840 So it's it doesn't matter what's sold. 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:26.160 Again, let's not get into the well, they're not stealing 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:27.559 the stuff you're talking about. 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:32.400 No, you've conceded the point if you go there. God, 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.320 do we have one more? So much wealth redistribution in 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:41.279 this country. Oh, I know, if you really need deodorant, toothpaste, whatever, 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.320 I believe there's some sort of program for you to 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.839 have the money. Now, if you spend every bit of 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:51.719 money you get on having as cool a cell phone 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:55.200 as I got, or whatever PlayStation, or cool shoes or whatever, 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.120 then you might not have any money left over. 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.640 But that was your decision. That's the whole fungible problem. 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.960 One more clip from mister DeMaio, Republican in California. 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:04.640 When this bill was brought up. 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:08.080 The author of the bill and the Democrats said Donald 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:12.400 Trump is responsible for the crime. Voters in California overwhelmingly 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:16.880 rejected this caudal of criminal nonsense last year in the 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.200 Prop thirty six, and they said, we want to punish 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.760 criminals because we cannot have a crime wave. 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:25.280 There are days, I think. 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.120 On the progressive side they could like advocate legalizing the 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:35.280 vote for cats and the argument would be because of Trump, 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.240 and they'd get sixty four percent of their people's votes. 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.840 God, there are there states that are going to decide 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:48.800 that this is okay stealing the crimes of necessity, And 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.480 again they have votes, but boy, they're trying. Do you 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:55.880 check their W two before it's because how poor do 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:59.640 you have to be before you get to steal from people? Again? 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:01.560 I I hate to even go there, but it's an 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:07.320 absolutely appropriate question. And Biden's I guarantee the people who 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.920 are in favor of this. Some of the legislators I 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.920 think are cold eyed Marxists. Most of them are just fools. 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:18.280 How many of them are aware of the quote unquote 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:22.160 Inflation Reduction Act under Biden and the enormous damage that 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:26.120 did nobody interesting power of Americans, especially poor American. 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.400 Nobody gets that. Nobody gets inflation. It's too bad because 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:29.560 it's a very very big deal. 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:35.600 Yeah, yeah, this is absolutely insane. Got to fight against it. 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.760 I never thought it would get this far in my lifetime, 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:38.360 but here we are. 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:41.920 I know the fact that it's being discussed. We're going 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:43.880 to make it legal if you're you know, if you 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:46.440 really need the deodor and just go ahead and steal it. 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.720 If you can make a plausible claim that you're poor. 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:53.520 And no, it would be insulting and oppressive for us 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.560 to do like an audit of what you spend your 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:59.720 money on. Obviously that would be probably be racist or disproportionately. 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.040 Do you have a job, if you've ever had a job, 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:03.400 are you applying for jobs? 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.120 Another note on inflation, that's going to make you smack 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:07.679 your forehead. 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:08.120 It did me. 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.800 After a word from our friends at in Cogny, we've 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.520 talked about spams and scams and that sort of thing, 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:18.120 the data brokers online. They point out that you know 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.560 this guy you assassinated a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.440 in their own home. They found his notebook in his 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.800 car that had a handwritten list of eleven web sites 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.680 that were data brokers to try to figure out where 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:32.840 these people live. There's even a picture of your front 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:34.559 door on a lot of these sites. 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.320 It's unbelievabing. Get them, get them to take it down. 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:41.280 Within Cognate. Yeah, in Cognate automatically removes your personal information 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.920 from hundreds of data brokers and people search sites. In 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:47.920 Cognity send the legal removal requests, They follow up, keep monitoring, 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.640 so your info stays off those lists, and if somebody's 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.199 searching for you, they're gonna come up dry, which is awesome. 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.320 They get after hundreds of sites. Well, you don't have 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.600 to do anything. You lock your doors every night, right, 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.240 so lock down your address. Go to incogniti dot com 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.040 slash armstrong for sixty percent off. That's in Cogniti dot 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.040 com slash armstrong because the next time a stranger searches 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.440 your name, let them find nothing in Cogniti dot com 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.719 slash armstrong. So here's the inflation note I wanted to 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.960 throw in. This has never occurred to me, saw this 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:21.679 opinion piece. Republicans can end the inflation tax. And what 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:26.120 they're talking about is capital gains taxes. And we're talking 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:31.840 about one most normal people run into capital gains taxes. 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:32.440 Two ways. 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.000 Number one, they have invested, they saved, they got mutual funds, whatever, 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.480 and any gains they get, even long terms, get taxed 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:43.200 at up to about twenty four percent. Not to mention, 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.560 when you sell your house, now you get to put 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.640 aside a certain amount of that for your next house. 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.679 Inf need you buy another house? Otherwise you got to 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:54.679 pay the government, you know, twenty five thirty percent of 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:59.160 your gains. Excuse me, Well, what hadn't occurred to me? Oh, 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:03.400 there's also a an Obama care surcharge on your capital gains. 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:05.400 Did you know that? No? I didn't. 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:11.640 But those rates apply to nominal gains unadjusted for inflation. 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:12.920 Oh really. 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.680 As a result, sellers of assets end up paying taxes 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.120 on inflated gains, raising the effect of tax rate. 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.800 And economists know this like the great. 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:25.440 Arthur Lafer recently ran updated calculation showing how high the 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.319 cost could be assuming an asset is held for five 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:33.080 years and you make a five percent inflation adjusted annual return. 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:37.400 So good solid return, but you're just five percent in 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:42.360 front of inflation in that scenario. Starting since inflation took 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.880 off in twenty twenty one, he found the actual the 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.240 effective tax rate on real capital gains climbs to fifty 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:54.240 one percent, that's horrifying. Half of your investment gains go 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:59.120 to the government. If you kept five percent ahead. 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.800 Of inflation, that's horrifying. 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:03.679 It's not as bad as it was back in the 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:07.600 nineteen seventies when the inflation adjusted tax rate of capital 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:11.160 games was nearly one hundred and thirty percent. And that 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:16.000 is not a typo. The left and the big covernment types, 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:20.160 their appetite grows with the eating as the saying goes. 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:21.559 Their appetite is voracious. 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.280 Well, stand up in front of a big crowd of 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:27.319 people and explain that long, complicated, mathematical you gotta be 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.280 kind of smart to understand it thing. Or stand up 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:31.880 in front of a giant crowd and say, when are 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.360 the rich gonna give pay their fair share and give 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:38.960 you some right which we deserve, that there's income inequality. 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.400 Why are the rich gonna pay their fair share? You're right? 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:45.720 I just lost. I lost again, damn it. So yesterday 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.240 it was my first day on a GLP one. I 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.040 know lots of people are on them or thinking about 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:54.079 getting on one. What was it like, particularly my experience 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:58.480 with potato chips. No, the potato chip incident. 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:04.000 That's what it'll be. No, it has yes historians among 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:04.520 other things. 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:04.880 On the way. 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:05.360 Stay here. 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.480 So I got on a golp one over the weekend. 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:16.120 Took me seventeen hours from first popping into my head 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:21.560 and going on chat GPT to injecting my thigh. Took 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:25.480 seventeen hours. Your thigh, were you do your belly? 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.079 Yeah, I don't know. I couldn't do the belly. You 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.679 won't feel it. I didn't feel it in the thigh, Okay. 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:34.920 Anyway, I don't know if I'm the right customer, which 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:36.320 is one of the reasons I thought they would turn 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.040 me down, because I just I don't have that much 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:41.000 weight to lose and food's not really my thing. So 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.400 I don't know if I'm having the same experience a 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:47.160 gop one that a lot of people do because I 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.360 don't think about food that much anyway. But I did 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.360 have an interesting whole Pies in your truck. Yeah, But I, 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.120 as I've said many times before, if they invented a 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:56.880 pill you could take in the morning that would give 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:58.600 you all your nutrition and you don't need it again, 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:00.640 I would love that. I would I find eating to 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.640 be a pain in the ass. I would miss the 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.520 epicurean delights. I do not get any delight out of it. 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.120 To me, it's just a pain in the ass, an 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:11.800 annoyance and always that. Really that's interesting. Yeah, So I 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.440 think for that reason, I'm not the right candidate for 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.280 this stuff, because I would Yeah, it's just not my thing. 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:20.280 I don't get any pleasure from eating really so. But 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:22.840 I did have the experience with the potato chips last night. 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:26.560 I wasn't my I'm making my son lunch as you 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:28.880 started high school yesterday, He's gonna take a sack lunch, 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:30.400 trying to figure I want I'm gonna give him some 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.280 potato chips with his sandwich. Didn't have any, went to 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:33.920 the store, so under the store I got a bag 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:35.520 of potato chips. I thought, you know, I'm gonna eat 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.040 a couple of potato chips and see what that's like. 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.640 Even though I wasn't craving potato chips. But I generally, 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:42.680 if I eat a potato chip, it's gonna be hard 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.040 to not eat the whole bag, because you know the 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:48.760 way they've designed the chemicals to burst into flavor and 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.440 disappear and trick your brain and blah, blah blah, very 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:54.520 very clever of them. I eat like two potato chips 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.160 and just didn't want another one for the first time 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:01.720 in my life. That's got to be the drug, right, Yeah, 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:07.880 that's amazing it so it got around the chemist's best 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:10.440 math on how to trick the human brain into making 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.600 you eat more potato chips. This golp one made me 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.440 think I just don't really want another one. Interesting. 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.520 That is huge. I think. 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.600 Here's my question to both Katie and Jack, because I'm 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:25.400 looking into this for both my wife and I were 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:29.600 thinking about it and Claude I was asking about this 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.680 and first it gave me completely fictional prices, then said, 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.040 you know, way to go, reminding me that those prices 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:40.080 nobody gets charged anyway. But then it says it's worth 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:44.320 asking whether starting doses should be staggered, since side effects, 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.520 especially gastro intestinal ones early on, can be rough for 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:50.280 a few weeks and having one of you functional while 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:54.240 the other adjusts might be worth planning around logistically. So 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.440 it's implying that one of us will be I mean, 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:02.920 practically crippled now buy some stomach problems for a few weeks. 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:07.680 WHOA So from what I know, that each of them 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:11.800 move point two five point five point seven and then 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.680 up to the fold the full dose. 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:16.880 I'll be staying on the smallest dose. 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.800 Yeah, they're not gonna just immediately put you on one 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:25.920 of the higher doses. You'll both start at the lowest, right, Yeah. 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:30.720 People, how many people are dysfunctional for a couple of weeks? 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.400 What are you talking about, Claude? Like you need to 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:37.000 take your two use your vacation time because you're going 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:38.400 to spend it all in the bathroom. 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.040 Are you going to be hunched over in a wheelchair 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.400 for a couple of weeks with the thousand yards stare? 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:45.520 What are. 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:47.800 But thinner? 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:48.960 Right? 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:50.320 The goal. 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:55.520 Cata tonic? But he sure looks sexy, Michael, but four 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.920 pounds exactly. 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.840 Yeah, he doesn't communicate it anymore, but he really looks good. 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:03.840 I don't know. 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:07.560 God, I'm a pound heavier than I was over the weekend, 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.000 so I'm in the wrong direction. Maybe I took the 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:13.600 wrong drug. That will be five hundred pounds my Christmas. 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:15.359 You took Porko Max. 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:19.320 You're you're a rubber stamp, fake Internet doctor gave me 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:20.040 the wrong drug. 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:20.720 That's shocking. 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:22.119 Porko Max. 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:25.720 Porko Max. 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:32.600 Do you desperately need to gain weight today? Try Porko Max. Whoops, ah, crap. 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.280 I should have talked to a doctor for longer than 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.200 ninety seconds, which is how. 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:39.920 I finished last in their medical school class. 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:42.240 That's how long my zoom call is. I almost wanted 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:44.119 to ask her, I said, do you go to medical school? 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.480 And was this your dream as a kid to be 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:52.200 no doctor? Ninety second zoom calls with people weight. 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.640 Glad you didn't do that one. 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.119 That's why you should be giving you Porko Max or 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:00.400 Pennis shrink or something like that. 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:02.040 Who knows? 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:06.560 All right, handful of stories really worth knowing, very very interesting. 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.679 We'll take our shot at these lombists later on in 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:10.159 the show. 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:14.359 A lot of good stuff. Stay with us, Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:16.159 Well list is this? 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.320 I read that some waffle House locations are now selling tacos. 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:22.720 I like it. 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:24.439 Now when people are drunk at two am, instead of 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:26.560 throwing punches, they'll be slapping each other with tortillas. 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:29.280 Yeah, waffle House tacos. 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.360 I think we know where the next parasite outbreak will 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:34.080 come from. 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.000 Among stories, we'll get to, Oh, there was a big 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:42.640 rally for that nut job Cambridge professor who killed himself 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:47.520 over the weekend, the guy that was just completely a fraud. Anyway, 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:51.160 there was a giant like memorial rally of people crying 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:55.959 and upset that the media lynching that occurred around I 0:18:56.160 --> 0:19:01.560 don't get it, but we'll talk about racism. Yeah, this 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:02.760 one from the New York Times. 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.680 I want to get to later too. Is celibacy cool? 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:11.160 Now? Gen zers are ditching sex. The number of young 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:14.320 people that have never had sex doubled in the last 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.960 four years. It was already high, and it's doubled compared 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:19.080 to previous generations. 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:22.720 Hey, gen Z, I didn't have sex, and then I 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:27.359 did have sex, have some sex. Trust me, it is 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:35.080 It is anxiety, cowardice, veal, caffiness. Fear is the simple 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:40.840 word masquerading as virtue. I believe these poor kids. 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:43.960 That would almost be good news compared to what I'm concerned. 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:44.240 It is. 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:51.479 Oh, just lack of desire to couple. Something biochemical. Something 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:54.520 has changed in the beast where we just don't care 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:55.520 about it anymore. 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:57.440 That is a problem. 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:03.320 Yeah. Yeah, If it's all things like that societal that 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.520 could be fixed. If there's some sort of like plastics 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:11.560 in the water, some phone raised or whatever that's changed trails. Hang. 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:14.640 Yeah, yeah, you're right, You're absolutely right. I think it's 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.320 probably a combination of the two. But yeah, your problem 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:19.320 is much more affecting because, you know, thinking about it, 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:22.640 I don't think it was society. I mean, my god 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:26.240 is a young man. If somebody said, all right, pretty 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:28.080 girl over there, she says, she lies. 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:29.560 You, thinks you're funny, and then you. 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:31.400 Know, my face would have gotten hot for a week. 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:35.879 You gotta you gotta fight this bear first, I'd say, really, 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.679 what kind of bear?

They're not getting turned on by real women. 0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:50.640 Yes, another factor, Michael, Definitely porn plays a role. 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:55.040 Yeah, definitely does so a number of quick stories that 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:58.520 are worth knowing. Maybe not the most impactful ever, but interesting. 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.040 Oh this breaks my Having just spent a week plus 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:06.520
