Before I 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.160 get into some of it, what do you know about it? 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:13.640 Katie? 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.600 I know it's very difficult, and it requires I think 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.480 two workouts a day. You have to do one inside, 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:24.320 one outside.

Okay, I'm not 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.880 sure that it's going to do me any good, but whatever. 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:42.160 Read ten pages of a self improvement book daily. If 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.160 I get to choose the book, I can do that. 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.920 Take a progress picture every day, okay, effortless, come up 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:50.240 with a diet plan and follow it. 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:51.680 Okay, kind of trying to do that. 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:57.480 Two forty five minute workouts daily, one outdoors. Okay, well 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.840 what else can we do? Because that ain't gonna happen. 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:05.880 That's why none of these fitness resolutions work. 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:08.360 You take it way too far. 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:10.840 You're not gonna go to the gym and work out 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.200 for an hour every day. You do it for a 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.840 couple of days and you quit. You get a set 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.760 modest two forty five minute workouts. 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:19.359 Yeah, I got it. 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.440 Even if you've got time, which I don't did be impossible. 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:24.720 No way you're gonna do that consistently. 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.400 And with the diet there's no cheat meals and no 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.480 alcohol for seventy five days. So forget your month of 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.120 no alcohol, Joe, this is seventy five days. 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.920 You know. One of my good friends has for years 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:42.880 and years, with almost no exceptions, he has and he's 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.960 a drinking man. He's good at it. We've gone round 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.680 and round. He drinks under Year's Eve. He does not 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.880 have another drink until Saint Patrick's Day in mid March, 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.040 virtually every year. I admire it. I'm not sure I 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:56.800 want to imitate it, but I admire it. 0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:58.520 Why does he do it? 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:07.880 Physical health, emotional health, doesn't want to be dependent on alcohol. 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.440 I guess same reason I do it for a little while. 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:13.840 He just takes it a lot further. He's in good 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.079 shape too, for a guy of his age. And then 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:20.480 we have another friend, actually a great mutual friend, who 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.280 when confront he's a southern guy. When confronted with that news, 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:28.079 he said, I haven't taken that long a break since 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:28.959 I was eleven. 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:34.920 It's a different way to approach life. 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.880 But interestingly, in contrast to the hard seventy five, and 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:39.960 the medium sixty and. 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.280 The leisurely thirty. We might have. 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:47.680 Something to talk about my daughter, my beloved twenty five 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:49.880 year old who just today headed back to law school. 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:54.720 Is she's using a nudgeword, which I would have mocked 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.640 were my beloved daughter not doing it. And there's a 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.120 piece in the Washington Post. Then they have a graphic 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.560 that shows people unveiling their nudgeword, which includes. 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:09.040 Ease, pivot, wonder, pause, and bliss. 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:10.040 You got to back up a second. 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.200 Is this a term, I know, nudgeword? What does a nudgeword? Well, 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.080 you're about to and I apologize. 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.720 A nudgeword can help you clarify your goals. It can 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.880 symbolize your values, help you set intentions and guide your 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.599 actions in most, if not all, areas of your life. 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.680 How do you want to be or feel? For instance, 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.800 do you want to be more playful? Balanced, or compassionate? 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:31.520 Playful? 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.640 Yes, I want to be more playful. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:36.599 Who starts a new year? You know what I'm going 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:37.520 to be in twenty five? 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:43.280 Playful? More playful? You know I would not phrase it 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:43.520 like that. 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:48.800 I could definitely see somebody, perhaps me, saying, you know, 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.719 I gotta stop worrying about crap that doesn't matter. 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.360 You got to lighten the hell up about a lot 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.600 of stuff. So I get it. 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:00.400 Interestingly, though, my daughter's word that she keeps trying remind 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:04.120 yourself of is sustainable and not like in the environmental 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.200 Grita Tunberg bullcrap way. 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.160 But she's telling. 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:12.680 Herself, Look, don't start an exercise plan you can't possibly sustain. 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:13.520 I've always been. 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.400 Doing to diet that you can't live with. 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.960 Yeah, I've always been big on that, and I think 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.560 that is a good idea, or you know, any kind 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:24.760 of regimen, just yeah, start with something you could actually 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.680 do right, right, Start small, see how it goes. 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.520 Increase a little bit.

You know you're gonna 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:49.839 lose weight, but it's gonna come off really slow, but 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.360 it'll come off and stay off and people want or. 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:53.800 It's a very lace you'll maintain. 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.120 Yeah, anymore, or you're gonna you know, you're you're gonna 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.000 build muscle and look more fit.

It's a little 0:06:55.760 --> 0:07:01.120 heavy speaking of a year ending slash beginning rituals. I 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.359 was reading about this dude. He's like an entrepreneur and investor. 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.000 It doesn't really matter who he is. But every year 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.359 at the end of the year, his birthday happens to 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.280 be December thirtieth, which I think factors. And but he 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.440 does a little vacation over the holidays like many of 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:19.640 us does. Does do we do? And he does what 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:27.520 he calls his pre mortem. He imagines being on his deathbed. Wow, yeah, 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.920 I know, I know this is heavy, and he gets 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.920 into it. He really describes, like, I imagine my body 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:39.239 old and fragile, my breathing shallow, my life energy almost extinguished, 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:43.440 and I try to evoke the feelings I want to 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:48.400 have in that moment, a sense of peace, completion, and 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:52.600 most importantly self respect. Then I asked myself, what am 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.200 I going to do now to ensure that when I 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:59.120 reach that ultimate destination, I've done what I need to do. 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.040 I will feel those things I want to feel on 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:02.760 my deathbed. 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:04.920 And then he sets goals for the year. 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.680 You know, we have a boss who actually has a 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:14.200 quote on his wall from of all people, Keith Partridge 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.000 David Cassidy, TV star of the seventies.

And on his deathbed 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.680 he said, I think it was his last words, so 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.240 much wasted time, and our boss has that on his wall. 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:33.160 Yeah. 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:37.320 He was a resentful, bitter, alcoholic.

That is the single 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:18.040 most annoying thing I've ever heard, certainly this year. You 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.840 know what people take grateful to the danger of being 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:21.480 too grateful. 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.400 I can see the headline the cite. Oh shut up, 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:25.160 you nailed it. 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.640 You nailed it, and Katie I can probably get an 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:29.760 amen out of you. See what the bitter old man 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:34.200 doesn't understand is this stuff is so much more a 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:38.360 part of young women's worlds, Oh yeah, than dudes. It's 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.920 like they tell this anecdote. It's actually pretty funny. I 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.200 don't see if I can find it. Woman's walking through 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:46.040 the store and they got a display of like dish towels, 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:50.720 and the dish towels are emblazoned gratitude. And this woman's 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:52.719 comment is all right, now, even my. 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:58.520 Dish towels are badgering me. These things become such a craze. 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:03.000 Oh yeah, in ways that you know, I hear stuff 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:03.959 like that and I think, yeah. 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:05.760 Whatever, that's for you, goodbye. I'm busy. 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.920 Yeah, I think it's a good idea. But if you 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.360 got it on your towels, I don't know. For whatever, 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:13.000 that's just a little too much for me. 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:21.280 Armstrong Heetty, the Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.719 Here's something I realized today, and I think this is 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:27.679 the first time in twenty fifteen is now ten years ago, 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:30.559 so probably not in the last nine and a half years. 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:34.320 The name I heard the most as I went through 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.440 all my different channels on TV and radio was not 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.400 Donald Trump for the first. 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:40.720 Time in nine and a half years. 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:47.840 Wow, the Muskmellon Elon Musk everywhere, no matter what you 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.280 flip to Elon Musky, line Musky, Len Musk, the way 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.960 it was, it's always been Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Right, 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:54.480 that's part of the whole Trump thing. 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:55.720 So it's Trump adjacent. 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:59.960 But it's interesting, So does Trump get like thirty percent 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.160 credit for each mention of Elon Musk because you know, it's. 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:06.520 Like a pyramid scheme. He recruited Elon's exactly share of 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.360 his mentions. And by the way, I'm sorry if you 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:10.760 have more on that go. I was gonna say that 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.520 I really really wanted to get to our honorary honorary 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.439 general general manager, which was. 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.720 Dudes playing women's sports. Fellas, you had a good run. 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:21.640 You whooped up on those girls. 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.520 You showed them men are better at everything, including being 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:25.760 female athletes. 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:27.480 You won all those medals. 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:31.000 You stood on the grand stand with your attempt at 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.960 makeup and your manly physique and jaw and the rest 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:35.840 of it, and really showed those stupid girls. 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.000 But I'm afraid all good things must come to an end. 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:41.080 It's fun while lest it wasn't. 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:43.119 Yeah, next, prisons. 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:48.280 You know fifteen percent of female inmates are dudes. 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.800 No, it is not. Yes, it can't be bad. 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.360 Yes, all the blue stints where all you have to 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.120 do is self identify. 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.120 Just because comes time to go into prison. 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.640 You're a bad You're a bad dude like corn Pop, 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:03.600 and you have to go to prison. And you think 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:05.640 you know, I'd rather be in a chick prison than 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.400 a dude prison. I mean, there ain't no girls. I've 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:10.480 seen those prison movies. This ain't gonna be fun. I 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:12.160 think I'll go on the prison where the girls are. 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:14.960 You're much less likely to get your arse kicked or 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.040 get shived or you know, have to get into some 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.040 brutal gang to protect yourself. Sexual opportunities are a little 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.400 better also as well. I was getting there. I was 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:26.640 getting there, Valentino or what's what was the old lover? 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:31.080 Uh?

I want to make sure my ass 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:36.400 doesn't get kicked, if you don't mind. 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:40.040 Fifteen percent, that's crazy. 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:41.720 Casanova, that's what I was looking for. 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:43.080 Fifteen percent. 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.800 I'll have to do about a bad dude. 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:50.160 Those statistics. The Free Press was writing about that. Wow, 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:58.880 that is something. Wow, it's insanity. And I well, because 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.160 they've been convinced that to be woke is to be 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.920 a good person, and they really want to be a 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:04.440 good person. 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:06.360 They really really want to be a good. 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:09.880 Person, an independent thinker who asserts herself when she sees 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:10.520 something wrong. 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.560 Not so much. I want to be accepted. I want 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:14.880 to be told I'm a good person. 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:18.560 That's a huge percentage of population are desperate for that. 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.440 So I'm not paying close attention to the whole Elon 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:26.200 Musk thing, but the way it's portrayed by the left. 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.160 Tell me if I'm right or wrong. If I'm I 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:28.840 could be wrong. 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:30.280 If I'm wrong, that's fine. 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:38.920 But this whole unelected bureaucrat attempting to the word they 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:42.600 used at MSNBC yesterday, got the federal government, which is 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.080 a word I love. I mean you you were using 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.320 it like prejudicially to scare people. I think got away. 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.520 That pfect What a great word, Kenny, Kenny accompliate. Where 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.520 do I set up for him gutting the federal government? 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.720 That sounds awesome. Wait a minute, honey, I need to 0:15:55.720 --> 0:16:00.120 turn this up and listen. Yeah, that sounds fantastic. But 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.880 nobody elected him. He's been given these kingly powers to 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:05.840 do whatever he wants. Now, am I right or wrong 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:10.400 about this? He's not signing any pieces of paper that 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:13.200 can get rid of agencies or employees. He's recommending them 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:17.360 to Trump's executive branch, and they're signing the pieces of paper. 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:21.240 Yes, yeah, exactly. He is making recommendations to his boss. 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:25.400 He is an advisor, so this is just a presidential advisor. 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:29.680 Fits in with my This is the first time I've 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:32.280 heard somebody's name more than Trump in nine and a 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.600 half years hearing Elon's name all the time. So they 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.400 must the left must feel like as a political win, 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:38.920 making Elon. 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:41.360 Musk a bad guy is better than. 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.760 Making Trump the bad guy, because Trump's the guy who 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.240 wants this done, is ordering it, and is the then 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.080 signing off on the recommendations. 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:49.040 Yeah. 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:53.520 Well, Trump just got elected and not only whooped tiny 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.440 in the Swing States, won the electoral college handily, but 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.600 won the popular vote, which really shocked Democrats. And they've 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.200 been that he's the Antichrist and is going to come 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:06.399 eat your infant since twenty fifteen or twenty fourteen. 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:08.199 And so perhaps the. 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:12.080 Smartest horses over there on the left side of the 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:16.160 island following me are saying, look, let's go after Elon. 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:19.159 Maybe we can get people's attention because he's rich and evil, 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:21.760 and they like the superhero movies where there's a rich, 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:22.720 evil super villain. 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.480 Maybe we can stir people up with that. They're desperate 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:26.280 for a message. 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:28.480 Yeah, I wonder how well it's working. Maybe it's working. 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.760 I don't know what most people think about Elon. I 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:31.520 know what I think. 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:50.760 Jack, Armstrong and Joe The Armstrong and Getty Show, The 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:55.960 Armstrong and Geeddy Show. 0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:03.840 They literally are trying to take healthcare away from millions 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:07.760 of Americans at this very moment, in the dead of night. 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:09.760 Oh my god, Oh my god. 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:11.600 It's a party of monsters. 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:13.880 That's why they're having the Republicans. 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:14.920 They're monsters. 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:18.240 That's why they're having the one am vote tonight on 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:21.119 the big beautiful bill to try to slide through in 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:27.399 the darker night, the cutting back on Medicaid. 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.960 And so the Republicans who are actual vampires can come 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:30.919 out to vote too. 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:32.120 Because you know, the sun is down. 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:36.880 So Craig Gottwalls originally Craig the Obamacare lawyer, because when 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.280 Obamacare was in the works and passed, Craig would talk 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:41.960 to us about it, longtime friend of the show, and 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.560 everything he said was true, and virtually everything he predicted happened, 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:48.240 in contrast to most of the coverage of it, which 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:52.280 was garbage. Well, Craig is now Craig the healthcare Guru, 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.720 and we're going to talk a little bit about Medicaid, 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:57.080 among other things. 0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:58.560 Craig Gottwals, how are you, Craig. 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.520 I'm good, how are you, gentlemen, terrific? 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:03.480 Thank you very much. 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.760 So what do you make of Hakeem Jeffrey's quote there 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:10.280 and what is the reality of medicaid? 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:14.280 Well, it underscores just how we can never give anything 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:17.640 to the government. This is why we can't have nice things. Right. So, 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:22.440 in nineteen sixty five, the federal government passed Medicare and Medicaid, 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:28.399 and specifically with respect to Medicaid, the whole idea was, man, 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:32.040 we need a safety net for like single moms with 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:35.040 disabled children who are falling through the cracks. We need 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:40.640 we need this mechanism to just capture the most disadvantaged 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:42.600 among us, to help them out and to give them 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:45.439 to give them a lift. Right, So we did. And 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.719 back when this was passed in nineteen sixty five, it 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:53.240 was designed to cover two percent of Americans. Two percent. 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:58.760 Today it covers one in three Americans and forty one 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.320 percent of all bab these burst in our country. 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:04.320 Whoa for babies born? 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:08.600 So originally forty one line the disabled, the utterly unable 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:12.560 to help themselves, and now it is approaching half of us. 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:15.439 Is that because we have so many more single moms 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:16.240 with blind babies? 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:17.119
