WEBVTT - Did They Shellac The Banana?

0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy Armstrong and

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:32.559
<v Speaker 1>Jaggy and he arms get drug fueled orgy. Well, when

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:34.840
<v Speaker 1>you put it that way, it doesn't sound very nice.

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>I just heard that on the news as a description

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>of what Matt Gates was attending, drug fueled sex orgies.

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm always opposed to, like, sober and morally upright orgies

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 1>seem hey, hey, hey, you put put that joint out.

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.480
<v Speaker 1>What do you think this is some sort of drug orgy?

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>The regular count doesn't sound good when you describe my

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>gatherings as drug fueled sex orgies. It doesn't paint some

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>untworn live from the studio cee see Senior, A dimly

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:08.680
<v Speaker 1>led room deep with them the bowels of the Armstrong

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>in Getty Communications Compound. We are a week from Thanksgiving, people,

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 1>and today we're under the tutelage of our general manager. Google.

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Google the search engine, Yes, indeed, well, oh oh, If

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 1>only it were just a search engine, that would be okay.

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>But it's like the world's most popular browser, and they

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>automatically go to their search engine from that browser. Then

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>they pay billions of dollars that you always go to

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Google from everybody's browsers, and that's too much for the

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Justice Apartment, and they say you gotta break it up.

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Whether that will happen or not, who knows. Interesting do

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 1>you think they're going to bring it and learn more

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>and bring it to you? Do you think that's correct

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 1>or not? Is that side to go it? Yeah? Okay, yeah,

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>this is this is one of those I just it's

0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>it's somewhat interesting, but I don't find it that compell

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what though. I I hate Google because

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 1>of the way they steal information. And I managed to

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>stay away from Google for most of my life. You know,

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Google came on whatever it was thirty years ago and

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>uh twenty five years ago, and then I I didn't.

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I never had a Gmail account. I never did a

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Google anything, never had any of that stuff my kids

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 1>got in school, you got no choice.

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:20.119
<v Speaker 2>Everybody uses Google classroom.

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>You're forced into your whole family having different Google accounts

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>and passwords and all kind of You got a click.

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I agree to all the stuff, which means they're stealing

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 1>everything you got. So from that standpoint, the schools are

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.799
<v Speaker 1>run by the government. I'm forced to use Google by

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>the government that bothers me. I don't think you could

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 1>not be. It'd be very, very difficult to have your

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>kid in a public school and not be a Google person. Wow. Wow,

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 1>you'd have to be some sort of conscientious objective. Yeah,

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:54.640
<v Speaker 1>it would be a It would really be a cost

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.360
<v Speaker 1>yourself a great deal of time and effort. Yeah yeah, yeah.

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>So that's not cool, is it? The government needs to

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 1>sue public schools. Government should sue itself and spend itself broke.

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:06.919
<v Speaker 1>Maybe U Matt Gates, when he gets done with his

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>drug fueled sex orgies as Attorney General can look at

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>the whole Google thing and see if it's okay with

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>all that?

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Does the does the administration want?

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I just and I don't want to talk about it anymore,

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 1>But flipping on all the newscasts leading with some new

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Matt Gates revelation today?

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Does does Trump want that?

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Every day for the next three months, four months, however

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>long it takes, every day some new Matt Gates story.

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Even the Wall Street Journal and The New York Post,

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>two very different kinds of Republicans, both their editorial boards

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>say drop the Matt Gates thing. Interesting I'd missed that.

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, well, I'm not shocked by it. Trump's thinking

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:54.320
<v Speaker 1>in strategies and and trolling are sometimes so different than

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>certainly the conventional approach, but the way I would approach it.

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I have to think about it for a while,

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>what the hell is he trying to pull off? And

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it makes sense eventually, and sometimes it's just dumb,

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 1>bad strategy. Why don't I say that, Well, the Senate's

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 1>claiming they're going to do a full hearing, and if

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>they don't get the report from the House, they have

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>the ability to call the same witnesses if they want

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.279
<v Speaker 1>to to get the information that way, So that'll be

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 1>a fun That'll be a fun hearing. I'm sure that

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 1>would be behind closed doors, I assume. Yeah, yeah, I

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.480
<v Speaker 1>actually think Matt Gates is an amoral scumbag. But I'm

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 1>also at least intrigued by thinking about all of the

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>moral failings of so many high officials of the government

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 1>and how they're selectively called out, you know, depending on

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 1>the circumstance. On the other hand, that's just because the

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 1>one thing is true doesn't mean the other isn't true.

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, if you're calling my sores that I

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.280
<v Speaker 2>attend to drug fueled sex s orgies. It's prejudicial and

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 2>drug fueled.

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>That is that a prejudicial term. It's not fueled by drugs.

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>It's fueled by lust. It's enhanced by drugs. Well, it's

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.159
<v Speaker 1>a party we're having. What is it? What do you

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:08.479
<v Speaker 1>do at a party? You all get together and I

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>have a good time. That's fueled by fun. That's what

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 1>it is. Well, yeah, exactly, we're here for the fun.

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:15.799
<v Speaker 1>The drugs are there as well, but it's not drug

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 1>fueled per se. It's fun fueled, come your honor. I

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:23.599
<v Speaker 1>prefer to call it fun fueled camaraderie with drugs, with

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:27.039
<v Speaker 1>drugs and that proportification and prostitutes. And now we have

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of canceled checks for many thousands of dollars

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 1>that appear to be to these girls. So anyway, that's

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.279
<v Speaker 1>part of the fun. Few, that's that's what fuels the fun,

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:40.880
<v Speaker 1>me paying these girls to you know, do what I want. Yeah,

0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.280
<v Speaker 1>the checks coming out yesterday didn't help.

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:46.359
<v Speaker 2>No, No, I suppose not.

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I think the response from a lot of big Trump

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:53.840
<v Speaker 1>fans would be, well, Merrick Garland is perverted to Justice Department.

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.719
<v Speaker 1>Beyond all recognitions. So a guy who gets with prostitutes

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.719
<v Speaker 1>now and again is small potatoes. My counter counter argument

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.599
<v Speaker 1>would be, all right, get rid of that, don't have

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>either of them. Let's continue asking for better than both

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.360
<v Speaker 1>of them. Right, And then I realized, because I'm on Twitter,

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot a lot of you don't believe any of

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.600
<v Speaker 1>that stuff anyway. It's just deep state trying to keep

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 1>him from being an Interney general. So checks are fake,

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the accusations are fake. All the Republicans who are claiming

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>these things are part of the deep state. And that's

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 1>where that is. Have you known any scumbags? Have you

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>lived a little Have you bumped around and the you know,

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 1>the alleys of life, walked on the wild side a

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 1>little bit. It's it's like a big gold colored cat

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>with a huge mane is walking across Africa and somebody says,

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>that's not a lion. The deep state says it's a lion. No,

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.720
<v Speaker 1>it's a lion. There are actual lions. Even if the

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>deep state says it's a lion. You've never known a smarmy,

0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 1>good looking kid whose dad was powerful, and so the

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 1>kid lived a really uncool life. You've never known one

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 1>of those.

0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:04.720
<v Speaker 2>I've known a lot of those.

0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, and again you can there look at this

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 1>fur at the end of the tail. Yet that's a

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 1>lion or if you prefer the well worn duck metaphor

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 1>either way, and I know the Justice Apartment needs to

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 1>shake it up. But again both things can be true.

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 1>One thing I was considering a nominating for general manager

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:32.880
<v Speaker 1>was unsubscribing day. Were already there? Somebody told me a

0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>couple of years ago. Black Friday for them is unsubscribed day.

0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 1>You go into all your emails, man, the number of

0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>emails I'm getting now you wake up in the morning.

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 1>It's just like I didn't know you had my account,

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.120
<v Speaker 1>but I guess you do, like some clothing store or

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 1>whatever they hold back till now. And now you just

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 1>get up a thousand of those. Then you got to

0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>unsubscribe on all of them. Of course, there's always the

0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 1>danger of is this do you actually have my accountman?

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Or on am I just clicking on a fishing thing?

0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.560
<v Speaker 1>And now I've really made my life difficult. You don't know,

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 1>But there's no other way to unsubscribe. I'm going I'm

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>big into block sender now. I haven't been doing it

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 1>long enough to really get a feel for if it's working. Yes,

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>an email, and so you don't unsubscribe, you block the sender, Uh,

0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.800
<v Speaker 1>those that I know to be legitimate. But I think

0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>you know I'm not gonna buy another one of your things.

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I will, I will unsubscribe. But like you know, I've

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 1>been getting all these stupid cooking made easy and fun

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.240
<v Speaker 1>recipes and stuff I have. I've never signed up for

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:33.000
<v Speaker 1>anything like that, right, and so some bastard and I'd

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:34.559
<v Speaker 1>like to know what store it is because I'll put

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 1>a brick through their window. It won't do me any good,

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 1>but it'll it'll feel good.

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 2>A reasonable reaction anyway.

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.720
<v Speaker 1>That's that's my only rad carse brickmates window treatment. Anyway,

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to figure out who's which one of you

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.480
<v Speaker 1>sons of guns are are selling my stuff all over

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.079
<v Speaker 1>the place like that. Yes, it's just terrible. We gotta

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:55.440
<v Speaker 1>we've got to figure out a way to get our

0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:59.760
<v Speaker 1>arms around this without violating uh you know, commerce or

0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:03.239
<v Speaker 1>something then something that I wouldn't like as a libertarian

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:07.720
<v Speaker 1>leaning guy. But but just the I fill out your

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 1>thing that you make me fill out to buy something

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:14.680
<v Speaker 1>at Macy's shouldn't mean that I get emails and phone

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:20.360
<v Speaker 1>calls and texts from, you know, completely unrelated organizations that

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 1>you sold the information to for profit. That somehow that's

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.480
<v Speaker 1>got to come to an end. Well, yeah, except you

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 1>click the accept the terms, which included we will sell

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.760
<v Speaker 1>your information anybody who's got a nickel.

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's what's got to be figured out, is the

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 1>whole terms thing. And I know people have taken various

0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 1>swipes at that that if it's whatever we talked with

0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I think I did when you weren't here, talked with

0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Tim Sandfer about this, and his belief is, yeah, that's

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.840
<v Speaker 1>perfectly okay, And if you wanted to do your due diligence,

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 1>you should get a lawyer and print it all out

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 1>and read all those things.

0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 2>And they have every right to do that, and there's

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:54.960
<v Speaker 2>no stop in it.

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:59.320
<v Speaker 1>But there's got to be some sort of it's completely unrealistic.

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 2>That too do this. To have my kid in fifth.

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Grade, click in the I agree for Google classroom that

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.440
<v Speaker 1>to have my kid in fifth grade, I should sit

0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:13.600
<v Speaker 1>down and read seventy five pages of legal documents that

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not qualified to read. That's it's utterly untenable. Yeah,

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.080
<v Speaker 1>but I forget it top it sure existed for a

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.400
<v Speaker 1>long time. On the other hand, because you know me,

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:26.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm about solutions. You can buy a palette of bricks

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:28.480
<v Speaker 1>for as little as one hundred and forty dollars. You

0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>could throw that to a lot of windows. Palette of bricks. I'round,

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 1>my dad is about to a lot of windows. That's

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of evil doers who are gonna taste your disdain. Friends.

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Let's start the show officially real quick. I'm Jack Armstrong.

0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:41.680
<v Speaker 1>He's Joe Getty on this it is? How did it

0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.559
<v Speaker 1>already get to be by God? One week before Thanksgiving

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 1>on Thursday, November twenty first, the year twenty twenty four.

0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.960
<v Speaker 1>We're Armstrong, you're getting We approve of this program.

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:50.560
<v Speaker 2>All right, here we go.

0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's begin the show officially. According to the FCC rules

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 1>and regulations.

0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 3>At Mark went to the store where people can donate

0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.040
<v Speaker 3>their garbage, and then the store organizes the garbage and

0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 3>then resells it to people who would do crafts. Right

0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 3>when I walked in, I saw this bucket full of

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 3>bread tabs for twenty five cents per handful. You can

0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 3>also buy handfuls of bottle caps. You can buy people's

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 3>old used paint. You can buy bits of broken trophies.

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.800
<v Speaker 3>You can also buy people's award ribbons that they don't

0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.239
<v Speaker 3>want anymore. They also have a bucket full of erasers

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 3>that gave me fourth grade desk drawer flashbacks.

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 1>And it's a guy reporting from a store in Portland,

0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Oregon that sells garbage.

0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:26.240
<v Speaker 2>It's called scrap Wrap.

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I saw this on the news the other days

0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.720
<v Speaker 1>and I was trying to I thought that sounds kind

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:32.319
<v Speaker 1>of cool. My son would love that thing as a

0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.960
<v Speaker 1>guy who's really into various art stuff. But I don't

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:36.839
<v Speaker 1>know how they turn a profit. I was trying to

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.959
<v Speaker 1>figure out how the with the with the mechanics of

0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:44.200
<v Speaker 1>it staying afloat would be at a quarter for a

0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.080
<v Speaker 1>handful of those bread tabs things, and you had somebody

0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 1>go through like a bag of junk and pick out

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.520
<v Speaker 1>all the bread ties and put them together and then

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.120
<v Speaker 1>and I don't see how you turn profit on that.

0:11:55.200 --> 0:12:00.000
<v Speaker 1>And so that's it's a very Portland it is phenomenon

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.480
<v Speaker 1>on It is that it reminds me back when Portland

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>was funky and not horrible. How there's fun fun funky,

0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.440
<v Speaker 1>not good. God get me out of here, funky not

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I saw someone urinating in the street with my son

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 1>last time I was there. Funky Yes, how does mailbag

0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.920
<v Speaker 1>look very good? Full of insight and wit?

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:23.679
<v Speaker 2>Cool? That is on the way.

0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Here's our text line four one five two nine five KFTC.

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Now I woke up to the.

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:37.440
<v Speaker 1>News that Russia had fired an ICBM into Western Ukraine,

0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 1>which was be incredibly provocative and a new thing and

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.319
<v Speaker 1>a flexing of hey, we can send icems around with

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 1>nuclear weapons. Their reporting now is that it was not

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.320
<v Speaker 1>an ICBM, but that's not still nailed down, but that'd

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:55.000
<v Speaker 1>be it'd be a pretty bold move from Putin. Yeah,

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 1>as a signal, I guess, but don't we know they

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.560
<v Speaker 1>have missiles that can write. But he's just conting to

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.920
<v Speaker 1>like be more belligerent than he needs to be for

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.680
<v Speaker 1>some reason. Yeah, okay, here's your freedom love and code

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.520
<v Speaker 1>of the day, sent along by Alert frequent guest Tim

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Sanderfer the Goldwater Foundation, says, I just ran across this.

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 1>The problem being of an ICBM is flying through the air,

0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:20.679
<v Speaker 1>you don't have much time to decide is it headed

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 1>to Paris or is it headed to Western Ukraine? Rozzi, Well,

0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 1>it's an intercontinental ballistic missile seems odd to lobb it

0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 1>from right over here to right over there.

0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Right, that's why, Yeah, don't want to just be throwing

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 2>those things around.

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:38.839
<v Speaker 1>Provocative. This is from Samuel Adams seventeen seventy two. If

0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I am to have a master, let me have a

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:44.079
<v Speaker 1>severe one that I may always have the mortifying sense

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.520
<v Speaker 1>of it. I shall then always be disposed to take

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:50.480
<v Speaker 1>the first fair opportunity of ridding myself of slavery. Oh

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.800
<v Speaker 1>that's a good one. That's a good one, as opposed

0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:56.600
<v Speaker 1>to the just slow seeps into your life, controls everything.

0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 1>You don't even know who to be mad at, frog boilings. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.319
<v Speaker 1>It just slowly gets swallowed up by the suffocating bureaucracy

0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 1>and yep, yeah wow. Both inspiring and discouraging. Thank you,

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:16.079
<v Speaker 1>Samuel Adams. Maybe I'll have a couple of sam Adams

0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:21.240
<v Speaker 1>and be inspired anew this evening mailbag, drop us a

0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 1>note mail bag and armstrong Yeddy dot com if you like. Uh, Julie,

0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:30.280
<v Speaker 1>he's been listening since like day one. Thanks you. Thanks

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Julie with a great article on the jazzy moon names

0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:37.680
<v Speaker 1>everybody's supposed to be talking about these days explaining it

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 1>all and uh and the longest short of it is,

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:45.960
<v Speaker 1>it's it's virtue signaling, is she explains, it's to honor

0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 1>the native tribes who use the names for crop planning

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:53.240
<v Speaker 1>and harvesting cycles. Now that I know it's a virtue signal,

0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>can I'll continue to not use the descriptors?

0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, I didn't know that, all right.

0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and actually the article is somewhat interesting. But it's

0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.320
<v Speaker 1>the Native people that didn't have charts and whatever.

0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Get in January. Get a calendar, native people.

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but it's January. You got the big old full moon.

0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Unless they instead of saying, hey, there's that big full

0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.680
<v Speaker 1>moon kind of like the one we had last year

0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.200
<v Speaker 1>when it was super called out, to call it a

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.520
<v Speaker 1>wolf moon because that's when the wolves come out and

0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 1>they howl and stuff like that.

0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 2>It's just a jazzy nickname.

0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.960
<v Speaker 1>So they know what to call it instead of, yeah, look,

0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:30.280
<v Speaker 1>you remember last summer, there's a big moon. Look here's

0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 1>another big moon this summer. That's not a good name

0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 1>for it, so they call it the beaver moon or

0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the jackal moon, or the one Eyed Man is king

0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.320
<v Speaker 1>in the Land of the Blind moon, or whatever.

0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.440
<v Speaker 2>That Upper Blue Harvest moon my favorite.

0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Exactly, Oh fantastic. Al Sharpton is misinformed, rights rich in

0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 1>beautiful green Oregan no way criticizing Trump's nominees for cabinet

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.760
<v Speaker 1>positions and not being diverse enough. Really, Al Trump nominating

0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:59.520
<v Speaker 1>one of America's favorite African Americans to the government efficiency drive.

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Elon, come on, come on man.

0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Man. It's a bit of an old joke, but

0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I kind of like it, just because the whole the

0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 1>various names for people of dark skin in America has

0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.440
<v Speaker 1>evolved like three or four times in my lifetime. And

0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:19.760
<v Speaker 1>the one that you absolutely must say, or we will

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:23.960
<v Speaker 1>ruin you becomes the one you absolutely must not say,

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:25.920
<v Speaker 1>or we will ruin you. And the new one that

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.440
<v Speaker 1>you must say or we will ruin you quickly becomes

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 1>the one you cannot say, or we will ruin you.

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 1>And there's a brand new one. An African American will

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.040
<v Speaker 1>soon be on the way out. I have a feeling,

0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.280
<v Speaker 1>let's see, Mike says, gentlemen. I hope that you, too,

0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:43.560
<v Speaker 1>along with Alex Soros and Nancy Pelosi, are still correct

0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:48.640
<v Speaker 1>about putin bluffing is based on the ICBM story. That's

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.040
<v Speaker 1>not an argument. Alex Soros and Nancy Pelosi believe the

0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.000
<v Speaker 1>sun rises in the east, and I agree with him

0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.880
<v Speaker 1>on that as well. Hillary Clinton is laughing because the

0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.080
<v Speaker 1>last minute chaos is de licious. For I don't care

0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:02.040
<v Speaker 1>what Hillary thinks. He's a bitter old hag who should

0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.520
<v Speaker 1>have hurled herself off the top of the Washington Monument

0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:07.560
<v Speaker 1>when she lost to Trump. Apparently we are going to

0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:10.600
<v Speaker 1>defeat the Russian Federation at last. This will be even

0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 1>more brilliant than Biden's Afghanistan. No, that's not the goal

0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:18.359
<v Speaker 1>at all. It's to prevent the continued aggressive conquests in Europe.

0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Can't have that. But thanks for the note. Anyway, We're

0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:24.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna catch up on the news. Stay arm strong and Geddy.

0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.560
<v Speaker 1>It's the end of an era for The Simpsons.

0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:33.560
<v Speaker 4>Pamela Hayden, who voices the character in Milhouse among many others,

0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:37.960
<v Speaker 4>is retiring from the show after thirty five years. This

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.440
<v Speaker 4>Sunday's episode will mark her final performance.

0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:44.919
<v Speaker 2>The lady who does a voice for Millhouse's quick.

0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Shinder bending Madness. She started when she was thirty five

0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 1>years old and probably thought, oh my god, I got

0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.240
<v Speaker 1>a job as a voice actor and he's been doing

0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:59.560
<v Speaker 1>it ever since. She's now seventy. Wow, that's amazing. I

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:01.200
<v Speaker 1>wonder if she I ended up rich out of that?

0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Is it barred?

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:03.359
<v Speaker 1>Is it?

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.160
<v Speaker 2>The great Millhouse will be voiced no more?

0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Or they'll find somebody who sounds like Millhouse, which, uh,

0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.320
<v Speaker 1>which reminds me my my son is the number one

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Simpsons expert on planet Earth. I'm guessing.

0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Uh. But so, we were watching an episode last night.

0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:22.080
<v Speaker 1>It was one of those where they they have a

0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.840
<v Speaker 1>quick shot of the crowd, and the crowd is always

0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.360
<v Speaker 1>everybody who lives in the Springfield, like it's every every

0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:28.720
<v Speaker 1>character that's ever been on the show.

0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:30.840
<v Speaker 2>And he paused, and he went through one by one.

0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:34.720
<v Speaker 1>He knows they're actual names of every single character, which

0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 1>is really hilarious because they all have real names. They're

0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Jeff albertson Comic Book Guy. There's like Kidis Kleidus in

0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.400
<v Speaker 1>his last name and his wife and his last name.

0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:50.440
<v Speaker 1>For some reason, he just has them all memorized. Has

0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:55.040
<v Speaker 1>the last name other than the slack John Yokel. Right,

0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 1>and there's a real name for Disco Stu and uh, everybody,

0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, no more Millhouse. What a gig? You

0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:06.879
<v Speaker 1>good on the show like that and it hits and

0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.800
<v Speaker 1>then how much does she suppose she works a week

0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:12.520
<v Speaker 1>or a month going in and doing however many lines

0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:13.880
<v Speaker 1>she's got, or maybe.

0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Probably the only character she's voice, some others, but that's

0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:17.800
<v Speaker 2>the big one.

0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 1>But probably does it from home now anyway, See you

0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:22.879
<v Speaker 1>do it in your home studio, zap them off and

0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 1>go back to doing whatever you do, play pickleball or

0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, drug field, sex or geez or whatever

0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:33.960
<v Speaker 1>it is. Wow, wow, good lifestyle. So mentioned the hole

0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:36.560
<v Speaker 1>woke up to the news that Russia had fired an

0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:43.120
<v Speaker 1>ICBM into Ukraine, which is a very provocative thing, obviously

0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:45.840
<v Speaker 1>on the world stage, having the fact the fact that

0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:49.160
<v Speaker 1>they announced the other day that they lowered their threshold for.

0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Using nuclear weapons.

0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:54.879
<v Speaker 1>Then two days later you fire an ICBM, which for

0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:58.960
<v Speaker 1>at least a couple of seconds, we and I'm assuming

0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Great Britain and fre Rants in Germany and probably China

0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:03.960
<v Speaker 1>and everybody else picked up on the radars and thought,

0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 1>holy crap, Russias fired ICBM, wars it headed. I mean,

0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:10.920
<v Speaker 1>that's that's that's scary crap right there where you could

0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:13.719
<v Speaker 1>end up with a mistake. But anyway, The latest reporting

0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:16.840
<v Speaker 1>is maybe it wasn't ICBM. Ukraine claims Russia fired ic

0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:20.800
<v Speaker 1>ICBM and recent attack. Fox is saying, CNN is saying

0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Western leaders say it wasn't an ICBM. But that would

0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:27.680
<v Speaker 1>be a very provocative move if it was different story. Funny,

0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at the big news sites and they've got

0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:35.200
<v Speaker 1>it buried if they're reporting it at all. Everybody thinks

0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:37.919
<v Speaker 1>it's a big ideal that the International Criminal Court has

0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:40.959
<v Speaker 1>issued war crimes. The rest worns for Net and Yahou

0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and Right and Gallant, but it's a phony court. It's

0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.119
<v Speaker 1>got no authority, yes, but better for your politics if

0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:51.080
<v Speaker 1>you're a mainstream media out fine. The other story is

0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:53.160
<v Speaker 1>this has been going on for a couple of days.

0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:56.119
<v Speaker 1>Two big Internet cables in the Baltic Sea were cut,

0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:58.320
<v Speaker 1>causing huge disruptions.

0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 2>And a Chinese ship was seen nearby. So what's going

0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:01.760
<v Speaker 2>on there?

0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh, more than nearby. They've got it. Radar tracked directly

0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.879
<v Speaker 1>over the one cable two minutes before the cable stopped working,

0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:11.880
<v Speaker 1>and then that second cable, same ship was right above

0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:13.719
<v Speaker 1>it two minutes before it stopped working.

0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:17.239
<v Speaker 2>Well, g whiz, all right, Well that takes care of that.

0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Then now, come on China, Ukraine, and this might be

0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:25.040
<v Speaker 1>what caused Russia to fire this big rocket missile whatever

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 1>it was. Ukraine fired British long range missiles into Russia yesterday,

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:32.280
<v Speaker 1>so after the attackers we gave them, Britain said yeah,

0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:35.560
<v Speaker 1>you can use ours also and fired some of those

0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:38.760
<v Speaker 1>into Russia. So that might be why Russia reacted the

0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:41.080
<v Speaker 1>way they did. I get it. It's kind of an

0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:44.280
<v Speaker 1>everybody's in. You can't single out anybody is because we

0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:46.920
<v Speaker 1>all agree. Of course, I don't know if France even

0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:50.920
<v Speaker 1>has missiles. Maybe they can heave a cheese at the Russians. Yeah,

0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:53.160
<v Speaker 1>it feels like I was an ad hominem attack against

0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:57.359
<v Speaker 1>France for some reason. Out of nowhere, Joe brought us

0:21:57.440 --> 0:21:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the story of the Banana Taped to the wall.

0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:02.440
<v Speaker 2>The price came in yesterday.

0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:06.919
<v Speaker 1>It sold for six point two million dollars, Good Lord,

0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:10.600
<v Speaker 1>six point two million dollars. The artwork called Comedian It's

0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:13.399
<v Speaker 1>a banana tape to a wall. Don't you feel like

0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:17.000
<v Speaker 1>you're being jerked around? If somebody puts a banana, tapes

0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:18.679
<v Speaker 1>a banana to the wall and sells it to you

0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:21.000
<v Speaker 1>for six point two million dollars and calls it comedian.

0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:24.439
<v Speaker 2>Don't you think you're the joke? Apparently not, And.

0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:27.920
<v Speaker 1>They then they say congratulations and close the door and think,

0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:31.200
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, is that person stupid? Well, I read

0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:33.679
<v Speaker 1>you the description by the art expert that it's a

0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:38.560
<v Speaker 1>It symbolizes colonialism and the effects of hyper capitalization on something.

0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:41.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a banana taped to a wall. It's a statement.

0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:44.280
<v Speaker 1>The New York Times said it's arguably the most expensive

0:22:44.320 --> 0:22:48.000
<v Speaker 1>fruit in the world. I would say arguably it is.

0:22:51.800 --> 0:22:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I have no counter argument, right, I don't know what

0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:55.080
<v Speaker 1>the count argument would be.

0:22:56.359 --> 0:22:56.719
<v Speaker 5>Wow.

0:22:56.840 --> 0:22:59.560
<v Speaker 1>I think all of us wish we could come up

0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:01.480
<v Speaker 1>with something like that. So do you have to be

0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:03.359
<v Speaker 1>a famous Do you have to become a famous artist

0:23:03.400 --> 0:23:07.720
<v Speaker 1>first and then do something like that? Because you can't

0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:10.560
<v Speaker 1>start with that because anybody could do it, right, I

0:23:10.600 --> 0:23:13.280
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I've laid this chair on its side. This

0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:16.000
<v Speaker 1>chair laying on its side is the disruption of the

0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:19.520
<v Speaker 1>global order. Wow. I would like a million dollars for this.

0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 1>That's powerful, powerful, you know. I don't I can't get

0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 1>in the side. I can't get inside the heads of

0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:28.679
<v Speaker 1>somebody who takes this stuff seriously and can tell you

0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:30.760
<v Speaker 1>with the straight face that a freaking banana taped to

0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:35.760
<v Speaker 1>wall symbolizes the effect of colonialism on Native cultures, and

0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:40.520
<v Speaker 1>how it is at once making a joke of art

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:44.800
<v Speaker 1>while making a very serious statement about art. And what now,

0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:46.359
<v Speaker 1>I gotta get back to work.

0:23:46.440 --> 0:23:48.399
<v Speaker 2>So if you buy so, I can't I can't relate

0:23:48.400 --> 0:23:48.920
<v Speaker 2>to those people.

0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:53.360
<v Speaker 1>So maybe yes, some young firebrand could do that, and

0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and the phony, boloney, pretentious rich jackasses the art world

0:23:58.480 --> 0:24:00.840
<v Speaker 1>would say, yes, this is a genius, a budding genius

0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:03.520
<v Speaker 1>who knows well, I've got a tangerine nailed to the

0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:08.199
<v Speaker 1>floor and it's a got similar, similar, similar cachet. So

0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:10.280
<v Speaker 1>the person who buys that for six two point two

0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:13.760
<v Speaker 1>million dollars is that two because they think it's worth

0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:15.440
<v Speaker 1>that much and you'll be able to sell it someday,

0:24:15.520 --> 0:24:17.400
<v Speaker 1>or is it they want to display it in their

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 1>home and people will think, oh my god, you own

0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:24.119
<v Speaker 1>the I didn't realize you owned the original comedian. You

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:25.960
<v Speaker 1>know what? And this thought just occurred to me. First

0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:28.080
<v Speaker 1>of all, it's tangerine nailed to the floor is a

0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:33.399
<v Speaker 1>statement on permanence and impermanence. Wow, that's very good, thank you.

0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 1>What was the other thing we were talking about, Oh, oh,

0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:40.280
<v Speaker 1>do what they want to do with it. Yeah. I

0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:42.200
<v Speaker 1>have a theory, and I don't know that it's right,

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:45.680
<v Speaker 1>but it just popped into my head. If you fly

0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:49.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot, the airline is really good to you, and

0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:52.320
<v Speaker 1>you get to go in the nice lounges and stuff

0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:54.920
<v Speaker 1>like that. You're a frequent flyer. If you get if

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:57.920
<v Speaker 1>you're known as a guy who goes on like expensive

0:24:57.920 --> 0:25:00.320
<v Speaker 1>golf vacations, you have all the really nice place is

0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:01.000
<v Speaker 1>reaching out to you.

0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Perfect, They treat.

0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:05.560
<v Speaker 1>You really well. Oh yeah, perfect example your high roller.

0:25:06.680 --> 0:25:08.679
<v Speaker 1>I have a feeling if you drop that sort of

0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:11.200
<v Speaker 1>coin in the art world, you are an instant celebrity

0:25:11.240 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 1>yourself and you are sought after your mind and dined

0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:17.600
<v Speaker 1>and that. If you're super rich and you don't care

0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:19.280
<v Speaker 1>about the money, that it might be worth a six

0:25:19.320 --> 0:25:23.480
<v Speaker 1>point two million dollars, right, Yeah, If I have eight

0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:26.320
<v Speaker 1>hundred million dollars in the bank, I can spend six

0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:27.920
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. Never think of it again.

0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Right, I'll bet that is quite the lifestyle.

0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:33.080
<v Speaker 1>They probably fly it to all the big art shows

0:25:33.119 --> 0:25:34.680
<v Speaker 1>and put you up in a fancy place and the

0:25:34.720 --> 0:25:36.320
<v Speaker 1>limo comes picks you up and they sit you in

0:25:36.359 --> 0:25:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the front row to see if you'll be stupid enough

0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:41.320
<v Speaker 1>to buy. You know, the tangerine nailed to the floor,

0:25:41.560 --> 0:25:43.440
<v Speaker 1>signaling permanence and impermanence.

0:25:46.520 --> 0:25:47.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I get to say it without laughing.

0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, I mean because the tangerine, it will wither

0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:54.560
<v Speaker 1>away and be gone, and yet is nailed to the floor.

0:25:54.600 --> 0:25:56.800
<v Speaker 1>It cannot be moved. It is permanently on the floor,

0:25:56.840 --> 0:26:02.119
<v Speaker 1>and yet it is impermanent, just like just like life.

0:26:02.359 --> 0:26:05.960
<v Speaker 1>It's a statement about life. If you haven't seen this picture,

0:26:06.080 --> 0:26:09.560
<v Speaker 1>it is exactly as described. There's nothing else to it.

0:26:09.560 --> 0:26:13.280
<v Speaker 1>It is a banana like every banana you've ever seen,

0:26:13.320 --> 0:26:16.280
<v Speaker 1>only this one's got a few more bruises, and there's

0:26:16.359 --> 0:26:19.960
<v Speaker 1>duct tape holding it on the wall, the end, gray

0:26:20.040 --> 0:26:22.399
<v Speaker 1>duct tape. They didn't even like spring for the fancy

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:25.240
<v Speaker 1>red kind or something the colored guy, which would be

0:26:25.280 --> 0:26:27.280
<v Speaker 1>a nice contrast with the yellow of the banana and

0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:29.600
<v Speaker 1>soon to be the brown in the black of the banana.

0:26:29.640 --> 0:26:32.760
<v Speaker 1>But anyways, is there is there anything? Do they like

0:26:32.840 --> 0:26:35.640
<v Speaker 1>shellac the banana or does it just like turn into

0:26:35.680 --> 0:26:39.840
<v Speaker 1>that gross withered thing that attracts little flies. The phrase

0:26:39.920 --> 0:26:44.160
<v Speaker 1>shellac in the banana is not something we need at all,

0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 1>not during the holiday season. Wow it he's drug fueled

0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:52.160
<v Speaker 1>door Jesus with Matt case Oh my god, jacket all

0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:56.200
<v Speaker 1>pales in comparison to the Aztec Death Whistle. More on

0:26:56.320 --> 0:26:58.760
<v Speaker 1>that to come. Matt Gates would have been much better

0:26:58.800 --> 0:27:00.959
<v Speaker 1>off shellac in the banana and going to that party

0:27:01.119 --> 0:27:03.320
<v Speaker 1>and maybe ruin his life and his chance to be

0:27:03.320 --> 0:27:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Attorney General. Wow. Wow. And finally, I want to get

0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:10.040
<v Speaker 1>to this a little bit later. This is actually you

0:27:10.160 --> 0:27:12.560
<v Speaker 1>glossed over the as tech death Whistle. I've got to

0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:16.680
<v Speaker 1>jump in here. Imagine an object so terrifying that its

0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:20.600
<v Speaker 1>mere sound could it could make you insane? The as

0:27:20.680 --> 0:27:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Tech death Whistle. Next hour, I to stay it was

0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:25.320
<v Speaker 1>going to be a drink or something. Okay, so it's

0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:28.879
<v Speaker 1>an actual sound, Oh yeah it is. It is a band,

0:27:29.520 --> 0:27:35.040
<v Speaker 1>a tool. It's my nineties esque as tech camera sounding band,

0:27:35.640 --> 0:27:38.919
<v Speaker 1>but updated for the twenty first century as tech death whistle.

0:27:40.200 --> 0:27:43.879
<v Speaker 1>A sound, a tool that could actually make people insane.

0:27:44.920 --> 0:27:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Wow cool, I thought, And we will play you the

0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:52.440
<v Speaker 1>terrifying audio of it if you dare stay tuned, I thought,

0:27:52.480 --> 0:27:55.320
<v Speaker 1>as Tech Whistle Death Whistle was playing behind Jelly Roll

0:27:55.400 --> 0:27:57.280
<v Speaker 1>last night at the Country Music Awards, but that was

0:27:57.320 --> 0:28:00.520
<v Speaker 1>not them. And one more thing from the New Times,

0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:02.320
<v Speaker 1>an opinion piece that I want to read later that

0:28:02.359 --> 0:28:04.879
<v Speaker 1>I thought was really really interesting and good for the

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:08.560
<v Speaker 1>NYT to bring it to us because they're pre purveyors

0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:11.280
<v Speaker 1>of this sort of thing. But the headline being if

0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:14.400
<v Speaker 1>everything is a crisis, nothing is a crisis, and how

0:28:14.520 --> 0:28:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the world of public health deems so many things a

0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:21.800
<v Speaker 1>crisis or has gotten locked into this. If we don't

0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:24.680
<v Speaker 1>say this is a crisis, it'll get no attention. Thing.

0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:28.240
<v Speaker 1>And they go through all the you know, obviously infectious

0:28:28.240 --> 0:28:30.959
<v Speaker 1>diseases where they want to get your attention about monkey pocks,

0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:36.959
<v Speaker 1>bird flu, all these different sorts of things, loneliness, social media,

0:28:37.359 --> 0:28:40.600
<v Speaker 1>all these things are problems they but briefly, like for

0:28:40.640 --> 0:28:42.920
<v Speaker 1>a week, you have to elevate it to the biggest

0:28:42.960 --> 0:28:46.440
<v Speaker 1>crisis in America, loneliness or whatever to try to get

0:28:46.440 --> 0:28:49.720
<v Speaker 1>any attention or funding or on TV or something. And

0:28:50.240 --> 0:28:53.640
<v Speaker 1>they're concerned that and the valid concern that they've called

0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:56.320
<v Speaker 1>so many things the biggest crisis that everybody's tuning out.

0:28:57.560 --> 0:28:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're getting nobody's attention.

0:29:00.200 --> 0:29:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of things making people insane, never mind the Aztec

0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:09.160
<v Speaker 1>death whistle. It's the age of hyperbole and being constantly

0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:15.120
<v Speaker 1>barraged with urgency. Yeah, you know, everything, everything's a crisis,

0:29:15.200 --> 0:29:20.280
<v Speaker 1>everything's a threat, everything's an outrage all the time, which

0:29:20.320 --> 0:29:26.000
<v Speaker 1>is interesting because I feel like, uh, you know, I

0:29:26.040 --> 0:29:27.640
<v Speaker 1>was surprised that it wasn't the lead story in the

0:29:27.680 --> 0:29:30.240
<v Speaker 1>evening news the other night that Ukraine fired those long

0:29:30.320 --> 0:29:34.520
<v Speaker 1>range missiles into Russia and Russia's nuclear whatever. That's a

0:29:34.840 --> 0:29:38.040
<v Speaker 1>real story. That's a pretty damned big story. But we

0:29:38.080 --> 0:29:39.880
<v Speaker 1>don't have time for those, I guess because we're into

0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:42.600
<v Speaker 1>the whole loneliness is an epidemic that is killing people

0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:46.080
<v Speaker 1>all across America sort of crisis. I don't know. You

0:29:46.160 --> 0:29:48.720
<v Speaker 1>got a thousand things competing for your attention or a

0:29:48.760 --> 0:29:50.320
<v Speaker 1>thousand stories, right.

0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:51.960
<v Speaker 2>We tend to be more.

0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Inward looking though, definitely, for whatever crisis is our attention

0:29:57.640 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 1>at the time. Definitely. We've got Katie's headlines on the

0:30:01.280 --> 0:30:06.680
<v Speaker 1>way and those will be good. Stay here. Before we

0:30:06.680 --> 0:30:09.320
<v Speaker 1>get to Katie's headlines, here's a headline from Mark Alpern's

0:30:09.360 --> 0:30:14.400
<v Speaker 1>newsletter today, or just a sentence anyway about how amazing

0:30:14.400 --> 0:30:17.760
<v Speaker 1>it is that Joe Biden is not taking reporters questions

0:30:18.200 --> 0:30:22.480
<v Speaker 1>during a time of high international tensions and also confusion

0:30:22.520 --> 0:30:25.520
<v Speaker 1>for his party, his parties, and maybe the biggest turmoil

0:30:25.920 --> 0:30:32.520
<v Speaker 1>I've seen in my lifetime, and also the world. What

0:30:32.760 --> 0:30:35.520
<v Speaker 1>you got nothing to say to all these reporters, with

0:30:35.680 --> 0:30:38.160
<v Speaker 1>all these international leaders around, you got nothing to say

0:30:38.440 --> 0:30:43.160
<v Speaker 1>about why you allowed Ukraine to fire these missiles or

0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Russia's response or Israel or net Yahoo being arrested or

0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:50.920
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't been arrested in the Bubba, but any of

0:30:50.960 --> 0:30:55.760
<v Speaker 1>that really, And as your various spokes twits are loudly

0:30:55.800 --> 0:30:58.600
<v Speaker 1>proclaiming that there's only one president at a time, and

0:30:58.680 --> 0:31:01.040
<v Speaker 1>President Biden is build the president.

0:31:00.880 --> 0:31:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, prove it. Yeah, I'm doing a little president.

0:31:07.920 --> 0:31:10.240
<v Speaker 1>All right, Let's figure out who's reporting what it's lead story.

0:31:10.400 --> 0:31:12.760
<v Speaker 1>It's Katie Green, Katie, thank you guys.

0:31:12.920 --> 0:31:16.720
<v Speaker 6>Starting with CNN judge sentences Lake and Riley's murderer to

0:31:16.960 --> 0:31:18.000
<v Speaker 6>life in prison.

0:31:19.000 --> 0:31:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Good man.

0:31:20.240 --> 0:31:23.000
<v Speaker 2>That trial got a lot of attention. All your evening

0:31:23.040 --> 0:31:25.000
<v Speaker 2>newscasts led with it last night.

0:31:25.720 --> 0:31:28.880
<v Speaker 1>And then NPR with a nice story today about a

0:31:28.960 --> 0:31:31.920
<v Speaker 1>memorial being built in Kenosha, Wisconsin, as a memorial to

0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:34.800
<v Speaker 1>the people mowed down two years ago at Christmas time

0:31:34.840 --> 0:31:37.120
<v Speaker 1>by a lunatic who was a black guy who hated

0:31:37.120 --> 0:31:40.800
<v Speaker 1>white people and killed them for racial animus. They didn't

0:31:40.840 --> 0:31:44.520
<v Speaker 1>mention that NPR. It was just a guy who That's

0:31:44.560 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 1>funny how that cuts only one way in a desperate

0:31:47.160 --> 0:31:51.680
<v Speaker 1>effort to build a certain narrative. You people are so dishonest.

0:31:59.440 --> 0:32:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Does this mean anything at all?

0:32:01.760 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 1>No, not functionally No. No. I am going to found

0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the International Court of Justice. My Canadian friend Gordy and

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I will be in charge. We will start sending out memos,

0:32:11.400 --> 0:32:14.840
<v Speaker 1>we will design a letterhead or have AI to it,

0:32:15.040 --> 0:32:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to start sending out subpoenas which will

0:32:17.800 --> 0:32:22.400
<v Speaker 1>have virtually roughly the same weight as this lead story

0:32:22.400 --> 0:32:23.400
<v Speaker 1>in all sorts of news.

0:32:23.240 --> 0:32:29.640

0:32:29.880 --> 0:32:31.720
<v Speaker 6>escalate before Trump arrives.

0:32:33.560 --> 0:32:37.240
<v Speaker 1>That's a good way to describe it. Well, he might

0:32:37.320 --> 0:32:40.400
<v Speaker 1>actually have the be the force of nature because he's

0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 1>continually talking about we're gonna wrap this thing up, We're

0:32:42.520 --> 0:32:44.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna end it, and both sides realize, okay, this thing's

0:32:44.840 --> 0:32:47.080
<v Speaker 1>probably gonna wrap up soon instead of trying to get,

0:32:47.240 --> 0:32:49.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, the best hand they can before it wraps up.

0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:50.840

<v Speaker 2>Hmmm.

0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:00.560
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:33:00.600 --> 0:33:02.280

<v Speaker 6>Ellen Degenerous leaves United States, flees to England after Trump election.

0:34:01.160 --> 0:34:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I saw that she's one of the few celebrities putting

0:34:03.400 --> 0:34:07.320
<v Speaker 1>her money where her mouth is and actually leaving the country.

0:34:06.720 --> 0:34:13.920
<v Speaker 5>That is so crazy, though, it's so crazy as a gesture,

0:34:14.440 --> 0:34:18.200
<v Speaker 5>what are you afraid of? It's entirely a gesture. It's

0:34:18.200 --> 0:34:18.600
<v Speaker 5>only a.

0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Gesture, you think, I don't know. Listen at NPR this

0:34:22.040 --> 0:34:25.400
<v Speaker 1>morning and they had a couple on where she thinks

0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:28.080
<v Speaker 1>that we'll be okay and can soldier through the Trump years?

0:34:28.200 --> 0:34:30.600
<v Speaker 1>He said, he said, this is where we disagree. I

0:34:30.600 --> 0:34:32.520
<v Speaker 1>think this is going to be a very very difficult time.

0:34:32.600 --> 0:34:34.279
<v Speaker 1>Our lives are going to be s for the next

0:34:34.320 --> 0:34:37.000
<v Speaker 1>four years. I'm like, what are you talking about?

0:34:37.320 --> 0:34:39.120
<v Speaker 2>What are you talking about? Crazy person?

0:34:39.320 --> 0:34:41.799
<v Speaker 1>So Ellen de Jenneres might actually believe that it's just

0:34:41.840 --> 0:34:45.920
<v Speaker 1>too frightening and oppressive to be here. I'd buy that

0:34:45.960 --> 0:34:48.520
<v Speaker 1>guy's got to be strapped to a chair and forced

0:34:48.520 --> 0:34:51.440
<v Speaker 1>to view seventy two straight hours at John Wayne Movies

0:34:51.960 --> 0:34:54.799
<v Speaker 1>until he finds his his cajones.

0:34:56.440 --> 0:34:57.080
<v Speaker 2>All right, your mean?

0:34:57.160 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 6>At the day Trump still needs to appoint a new

0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:02.920
<v Speaker 6>leader for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, this would be

0:35:02.960 --> 0:35:05.239
<v Speaker 6>his opportunity to do the funniest thing ever. And then

0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:06.600
<v Speaker 6>there's a picture of Elizabeth Warren.

0:35:07.040 --> 0:35:08.960
<v Speaker 1>There you go, it would be funny.

0:35:10.640 --> 0:35:14.600
<v Speaker 6>And finally, the Babylon Bee. Before Doge starts cuts funding,

0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:18.360
<v Speaker 6>NIH working feverishly to complete the study on the effects

0:35:18.400 --> 0:35:20.680
<v Speaker 6>of giving meth to jetpack wearing hamsters.

0:35:21.440 --> 0:35:23.000
<v Speaker 2>We do four hours every day.
