WEBVTT - So Much Lashing 0:00:08.780 --> 0:00:12.629 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:12.670 --> 0:00:17.660 George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong 0:00:17.710 --> 0:00:18.440 and Getty. 0:00:18.620 --> 0:00:18.900 And now. 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:35.760 I'm pro-human. Are you pro-human? Live from Studio C. Case 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:40.260 by case basis, senor. A dimly lit room deep within 0:00:40.300 --> 0:00:44.320 the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty communications compound. And hey, y'all, 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:49.180 today we're under the title of the show. Your taxes 0:00:49.220 --> 0:00:53.360 go to fraudsters every penny. Oh, that's rough. Oh, my God. 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:55.180 The fraud-knighted states of America. 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:58.300 It's unbelievable, some of the stories. Or if you prefer... 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:04.589 AI backlash. Backlash lashes back. Oh, what? I didn't find 0:01:04.630 --> 0:01:09.940 the backlash against the back as lash. Oh, so much lashing. 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.839 I don't know which side of that I'm on. Yeah, well, 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:16.089 it's hard to pick one. So the pro-human conference today 0:01:16.110 --> 0:01:18.870 that is all about keeping human beings in charge of 0:01:18.950 --> 0:01:22.110 AI so it doesn't run rampant is being led by 0:01:22.650 --> 0:01:27.230 Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon working together. And a whole 0:01:27.590 --> 0:01:30.240 bunch of different lawmakers, Republicans and Democrats, as it is 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:34.840 a somewhat bipartisan issue. However, the president came out hardcore 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.420 yesterday that this is all a hoax, which we'll have 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:43.780 more of that later on. It ain't a hoax, Mr. President. 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:48.160 Your face is a stupid hoax. But, so, yeah. Pro-human. 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.480 The pro-human conference. 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:50.860 Wow. 0:01:50.940 --> 0:01:55.520 Crackpot conference, more like. And then yesterday, the Some Energy 0:01:55.540 --> 0:02:00.380 Committee thing that's got 52 members voted 52-0, which you 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.059 don't see a lot in modern politics. All the Republicans 0:02:03.140 --> 0:02:05.270 and Democrats together at the data centers have to pay 0:02:05.310 --> 0:02:08.670 for their own stuff. You can't hit people with energy 0:02:08.710 --> 0:02:11.160 bills and all that sort of stuff. Because the whole 0:02:11.180 --> 0:02:14.680 data center thing is still so hot. People hate data 0:02:14.700 --> 0:02:17.460 centers so much. So you got that issue happening at 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:22.109 the same time as the backlash against the backlash, but 0:02:22.130 --> 0:02:24.410 the relash with another forelash. 0:02:24.830 --> 0:02:25.370 Oh, no. 0:02:25.790 --> 0:02:27.590 And I don't know where we're going to land on this. 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:33.239 It is at once, I think, a legitimate concern and 0:02:33.260 --> 0:02:38.850 a moral panic. What's a moral panic if it's perfectly 0:02:39.230 --> 0:02:43.149 reasonable to be panicked? Is that a moral panic? See, 0:02:43.190 --> 0:02:45.170 that's the question. That's the great question. 0:02:45.350 --> 0:02:50.410 I've assembled my usual cadre of geniuses and sages, and 0:02:50.430 --> 0:02:51.430 there's zero agreement. 0:02:52.590 --> 0:02:55.180 Are there real moral panics, or does the term moral 0:02:55.220 --> 0:03:00.800 panic suggest that it's fake? The latter, I think. Well, 0:03:00.820 --> 0:03:04.560 this ain't fake. No. Although, see, that's what I'm saying. 0:03:08.150 --> 0:03:13.020 It is legitimate to go to simplisafe.com slash armstrong and 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.380 get a substantial discount when you use our code. 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.359 To protect your home. Well, you worked in a commercial. 0:03:18.020 --> 0:03:21.120 It is not legitimate to rig up all your windows 0:03:21.180 --> 0:03:24.880 and doors with booby traps involving grenades and shotguns. 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:26.079 You're not supposed to do that? 0:03:26.580 --> 0:03:32.110 That's a legitimate fear taken to panic level. Panic as 0:03:32.169 --> 0:03:35.300 opposed to concern. I think we have legitimate concern and 0:03:35.420 --> 0:03:37.260 panic going on. And I think a lot of the 0:03:37.300 --> 0:03:41.140 panic is generalized fear of what AI means economically to 0:03:41.220 --> 0:03:41.640 all of us. 0:03:41.700 --> 0:03:45.490 And I share that concern. I don't know. I think 0:03:45.590 --> 0:03:48.850 the level of concern, even to the level of panic, 0:03:48.910 --> 0:03:56.740 is probably pretty close to deserved. Boomer doomers. What I 0:03:56.780 --> 0:04:02.270 wonder yesterday, I think yesterday could end up being... The 0:04:02.310 --> 0:04:07.750 most consequential day in Trump's presidencies. Really? If it ends 0:04:07.870 --> 0:04:10.210 up being because he went hardcore. We'll read some of 0:04:10.250 --> 0:04:12.430 the posts. I mean, post after post. He posted like 0:04:12.430 --> 0:04:15.930 15 times yesterday. Long, long posts about how this is 0:04:15.990 --> 0:04:19.610 just like the Russia hoax. This is just like climate change. 0:04:19.650 --> 0:04:22.770 This is just all a hoax. If he convinced the 0:04:22.860 --> 0:04:27.760 hardcore ride or die, whatever you say, goes 32 to 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:34.500 38 percent of America. that hasn't been paying a whole 0:04:34.540 --> 0:04:36.539 lot of attention about AI, that AI is a hoax 0:04:36.580 --> 0:04:40.620 and nothing to worry about, and therefore vote or worry accordingly, 0:04:41.500 --> 0:04:45.080 that could be so huge for this whole issue. I mean, 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:48.719 and he may have convinced that many people forever yesterday. 0:04:51.700 --> 0:04:54.460 The leaders of the Republican efforts in the midterm have 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:57.140 to be drinking themselves to sleep every night. You've got 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:04.770 unpopular tariffs, unpopular war. unpopular data centers with the president 0:05:04.810 --> 0:05:07.700 is saying, if you don't like these, you're a stupid idiot. Uh, 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:13.500 the generalized and specific fears of AI, which are very widespread. 0:05:13.540 --> 0:05:17.029 The president saying, uh, you're a stupid or the victim 0:05:17.070 --> 0:05:19.669 of a hoax. If you are concerned about that, it's, 0:05:20.610 --> 0:05:26.049 it's as if it's like a deliberate campaign to, You know, 0:05:26.290 --> 0:05:27.510 keep people away from the polls. 0:05:27.570 --> 0:05:29.470 I wish it was possible to have some middle ground 0:05:29.510 --> 0:05:31.289 in the modern world, but I realize that's not really 0:05:31.310 --> 0:05:33.630 a thing. Can we think about this and talk about 0:05:33.670 --> 0:05:35.350 it for a little bit? It's got to be a 0:05:35.450 --> 0:05:37.750 ridiculous hoax on the level of climate change or the 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:41.680 Russia hoax. How about, no, this is really big, really huge, 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.960 could put everybody out of work, could kill us, all 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.659 those things. But I'm not sure there's any way government 0:05:48.700 --> 0:05:51.360 can regulate it in a way that makes sense. I 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.110 think it's a pretty decent place to land. 0:05:54.870 --> 0:05:58.150 Did you see where, speaking of Russia, an oligarch close 0:05:58.190 --> 0:06:02.690 to Putin who's an old family friend threw Donald Jr. 0:06:02.730 --> 0:06:06.010 and his new wife a couple hundred thousand dollar two-day party? 0:06:06.310 --> 0:06:10.290 Yeah. That's such a bad look. It is, even if 0:06:10.350 --> 0:06:14.229 it is innocent. They give zero poops. Even if it's 0:06:14.250 --> 0:06:19.610 as innocent as DJT Jr., claims that, hey, I have friends, 0:06:20.210 --> 0:06:23.210 and they buy me things. He's just saying, even if 0:06:23.270 --> 0:06:26.050 it's just that, it's such a bad look, you would 0:06:26.089 --> 0:06:29.940 think you wouldn't do it. When you're that rich, because 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:34.020 you don't need a gift when you're that rich. Right, right. 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.040 And I get, listen, if you're super rich, you give 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:43.130 super rich guy presents, probably. But just being buddies with, like, 0:06:43.580 --> 0:06:48.250 Putin-tied oligarch and taking expensive gifts from him as Jared 0:06:48.310 --> 0:06:50.550 Kushner and Witkoff are saying, hey, just give up the 0:06:50.589 --> 0:06:51.980 Donbass and you can have peace. 0:06:52.980 --> 0:06:58.250 To the Ukrainians? It's just so terrible. Here would be 0:06:58.310 --> 0:07:00.370 one of my headlines as a sports writer, I think, 0:07:00.430 --> 0:07:03.100 or something along those lines. And the Emmy for Best 0:07:03.190 --> 0:07:06.039 Running Back goes to K-9 of the Kansas City Chiefs. 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:08.779 If you watched the game last night. I did. How 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:12.020 awesome was that? If you like the Chiefs, wow, did 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.950 they look like something. Yeah, the Chiefs are back. They 0:07:14.970 --> 0:07:17.809 got last year's Super Bowl MVP from a different team, 0:07:17.870 --> 0:07:21.360 and he was awesome. A beast last night. Sorry, Seattle. 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:23.200 Free agency. What are you going to do? I was 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.190 watching it closely because my brother was there and sending 0:07:25.210 --> 0:07:29.950 me pictures from like the 15th row. He had amazing seats. Oh, cool. Yeah. 0:07:31.190 --> 0:07:34.710 Another Niners Chiefs Super Bowl. You heard it here first, folks. 0:07:35.150 --> 0:07:36.070 Right? Oh, that's right. 0:07:36.230 --> 0:07:38.330 The Armstrong and Getty rules. We haven't mentioned this in years. 0:07:38.750 --> 0:07:41.950 Sports predictions are so easy to make and so stupid, Getty. 0:07:42.370 --> 0:07:45.490 For years, we had the policy. If you dare to 0:07:45.530 --> 0:07:48.510 make a sports prediction and you're wrong, you lose a finger. 0:07:48.550 --> 0:07:51.010 You got to bet a finger. We chop off a finger. 0:07:51.070 --> 0:07:52.810 You can't just be shooting your mouth off. You got 0:07:52.830 --> 0:07:55.290 to put something on this bet. And a finger is 0:07:55.310 --> 0:07:56.690 a pretty good. Yeah. 0:07:56.710 --> 0:07:59.350 I'm going to throw myself on the mercy of the court. 0:07:59.610 --> 0:08:01.540 And we haven't talked about that for years. So I 0:08:01.770 --> 0:08:05.619 retract my prediction. My idiotic based in nothing prediction. 0:08:05.660 --> 0:08:10.090 Which finger? Oh, we've talked about that. I could live 0:08:10.130 --> 0:08:12.030 without my ring finger on my right hand. I think 0:08:12.070 --> 0:08:13.690 I could do everything I do on the guitar without 0:08:13.710 --> 0:08:15.670 my ring finger on my right hand. Although I play 0:08:15.690 --> 0:08:19.770 the piano some now. Do you need your right pinky? 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:24.660 If I'm playing piano, I do. Yeah. Well, maybe just 0:08:25.460 --> 0:08:28.480 don't make sports predictions. You just leave the seventh or 0:08:28.500 --> 0:08:30.640 the fifth off all your chords? Why do you do that? 0:08:30.660 --> 0:08:32.240 Because I ain't got no finger there because I made 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.319 a ridiculous bet on a football game. Damn jazz chords. 0:08:35.340 --> 0:08:40.770 You don't get those anyway. Let's start the show officially. 0:08:41.730 --> 0:08:44.699 I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Tuesday. 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:49.940 What month is it? September 15th, the year 2026. We're 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.640 Armstrong and Getty and we approve of this program. Let's 0:08:52.700 --> 0:08:55.080 begin then officially according to FCC rules and regulations. 0:08:55.100 --> 0:08:55.480 Here we go. 0:08:55.620 --> 0:08:59.069 At mark. By 2030, almost 80% of people had lost 0:08:59.110 --> 0:09:03.780 their jobs. They had no money. no purpose, but they 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:05.820 had a lot of time on their hands. What if 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.000 we could use the energy of humans to power the 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:13.140 machines that took away their jobs? Energem solved our need 0:09:13.179 --> 0:09:19.179 for energy and your need for purpose. That is a 0:09:19.220 --> 0:09:22.069 great idea. So when we're all laying, we're all layabouts 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:26.210 because we don't have jobs. AI can harness the energy 0:09:26.250 --> 0:09:29.670 that we would have used to work to run their AI. Yeah, 0:09:29.770 --> 0:09:30.710 that's a win-win. 0:09:30.910 --> 0:09:31.069 Yeah. 0:09:31.390 --> 0:09:32.670 It really seems like a pretty good idea. 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.079 And the people talking are all fat and old. 0:09:35.940 --> 0:09:36.400 Just so you know. 0:09:36.780 --> 0:09:37.100 Hello? 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.720 You called by name? Why are you looking at me? No, 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.400 it's all the tech guys. You're right. 0:09:44.179 --> 0:09:44.760 Oh, boy. 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:50.890 Doomers. Boomer doomers. It is really interesting, before we take 0:09:50.910 --> 0:09:54.270 a break and get to headlines, how this has exploded 0:09:54.429 --> 0:09:58.969 into a national topic in every area of life. I 0:09:58.990 --> 0:10:01.700 don't remember COVID. is the last time I remember anything 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.490 dominating news cycles like this. I don't even think the 0:10:05.550 --> 0:10:09.670 war with Iran, when it started, penetrated this far, this 0:10:09.790 --> 0:10:12.819 deeply for this many days, the way it just burst 0:10:13.650 --> 0:10:15.770 Burst onto the sea. Well, you know, you got to 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.359 admit somebody coming out and saying everybody's going to be 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:22.340 dead in 10 years is a pretty good hook. Right. 0:10:22.929 --> 0:10:24.850 That's a pretty good hook. That's a pretty good headline 0:10:24.870 --> 0:10:29.120 to get people's attention. But the intensity of the is 0:10:29.260 --> 0:10:31.840 on YouTube and everything like that. Like how many different 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:36.699 interviews has Dario from Anthropic given to all these different outlets, 0:10:36.740 --> 0:10:39.500 whether he's on CNN or 60 Minutes or CBS or 0:10:39.590 --> 0:10:42.790 wherever about all this sort of stuff and Elon and everybody. 0:10:42.809 --> 0:10:45.809 And then the politicians getting involved. It's it's so hot 0:10:45.890 --> 0:10:49.140 right now. And for some of you, I know it's 0:10:49.179 --> 0:10:52.520 just you claim you believe that it's just these big 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:57.189 companies trying to lock in their gains at a point 0:10:57.350 --> 0:11:00.110 of everybody being afraid. Never let a crisis go to waste. 0:11:00.190 --> 0:11:02.929 Create a crisis and then turn it into something to 0:11:02.950 --> 0:11:05.470 your advantage. The big flaw. 0:11:05.290 --> 0:11:08.340 I see from that argument is that these guys are 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:12.609 also competing with China. We as a country are not 0:11:12.670 --> 0:11:15.030 just competing with China. They are competing to be the 0:11:15.070 --> 0:11:19.570 go-to choice, the platform, if you will, to build AI 0:11:20.050 --> 0:11:24.130 agents and systems on. And if they get beat by China, 0:11:24.650 --> 0:11:25.370 they lose. 0:11:25.770 --> 0:11:28.360 Yeah, I'm glad you brought up China because China made 0:11:28.380 --> 0:11:31.780 some noises yesterday that sounds like they're pretty afraid of 0:11:31.900 --> 0:11:34.880 AI and willing to do some things to rein it in. 0:11:34.980 --> 0:11:38.120 So it's a possibility that they think, you know, AI 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:44.400 wouldn't be good for us. not knowing what computer AI 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:48.439 agents want to do when we're a surveillance society, lockdown, 0:11:48.660 --> 0:11:51.480 totalitarian state, that doesn't sound like a win for us. 0:11:51.540 --> 0:11:54.020 So maybe that's how they get on board with reigning 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:57.349 in AI. They don't trust China, like our guy says 0:11:57.420 --> 0:11:59.950 over and over again. Maybe they want it way less 0:12:00.010 --> 0:12:02.110 than the United States wants it in terms of we 0:12:02.130 --> 0:12:05.020 need to win. It's an enormous threat to their control 0:12:05.059 --> 0:12:06.939 of the system. There is no doubt. That'd be a 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.110 heck of a development. Anyway, got all the headlines on 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:10.750 the way. Plenty of stuff to talk about today. Hope 0:12:10.790 --> 0:12:20.130 you can stay here. I got some interesting texts already 0:12:20.170 --> 0:12:24.390 about the AI thing. Is it similar to climate change? 0:12:24.410 --> 0:12:26.400 Is it a hoax or not? This one person argues. 0:12:26.500 --> 0:12:30.679 We'll have to get into that conversation later. Kind of interesting. Yeah, 0:12:30.780 --> 0:12:31.340 I love that. 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.660 As a springboard for discussion. So much to talk about. 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:34.820 Let's figure out who's reporting what. 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:38.150 It's the lead story with Katie Green. Katie. Well, AI 0:12:38.190 --> 0:12:40.430 is at the top of all of the alphabet networks. 0:12:40.610 --> 0:12:46.069 CNN, Trump dismisses AI alarms as a hoax, worrying some 0:12:46.110 --> 0:12:50.530 White House officials. CBS News, Anthropic CEO says for too 0:12:50.570 --> 0:12:56.280 long the industry lied about AI risks. And NBC, Obama 0:12:56.420 --> 0:12:59.619 and Harris call on federal government to address pace of 0:12:59.740 --> 0:13:00.400 AI development. 0:13:00.580 --> 0:13:03.140 Right. So with Trump going out hardcore, it's a hoax. 0:13:03.260 --> 0:13:05.590 And then you got Kamala and Obama coming out saying 0:13:05.610 --> 0:13:07.970 we need regulation. I'm really worried that this is going 0:13:07.990 --> 0:13:11.410 to be locked in as a political issue. And like 0:13:11.429 --> 0:13:13.949 if a guy like me says AI is really a 0:13:13.990 --> 0:13:17.380 big problem. Oh, so you want Kamala Harris to be president. 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.420 I mean, it becomes one of those things. I sense 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:21.199 that it's too late. 0:13:21.420 --> 0:13:25.160 Yeah, I think you're right. It's already encased in steel. Oh, 0:13:25.179 --> 0:13:26.880 so you're one of those. I didn't know you were 0:13:26.940 --> 0:13:27.480 one of those. 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:29.340 Oh, okay. Oh, sure I am. 0:13:30.500 --> 0:13:34.559 From the New York Times, Gulf Arab states explore. 0:13:34.179 --> 0:13:38.770 New options as U.S. bases fail to deter Iran. And 0:13:38.809 --> 0:13:41.450 war is still going on and off the front page. 0:13:42.150 --> 0:13:45.640 Middle East, UAE, for instance, had bet big Bahrain on 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.960 becoming tech centers. And some of the big tech centers 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.160 got bombed and have been offline now for months. 0:13:50.980 --> 0:13:51.620 And months and months. 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.340 And it's really eroding their image as a good place 0:13:54.380 --> 0:13:55.020 to invest. 0:13:55.300 --> 0:13:57.370 So they're pretty concerned. I've been saying this for years 0:13:57.410 --> 0:14:00.550 about various topics when you're talking about futuristic, cool, new, 0:14:00.630 --> 0:14:06.360 this and that. Meanwhile, people are still, you know, stabbing, shooting, 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.560 beating each other to death over religion in various parts 0:14:09.580 --> 0:14:12.910 of the world. Living in the 800s. Yes, correct. Well said. 0:14:14.309 --> 0:14:14.990 ABC News. 0:14:15.610 --> 0:14:18.429 Air Force Secretary acknowledges the U.S. 0:14:18.490 --> 0:14:24.570 Has weapons in space. Yes, shoot them. Shoot them from space. Who? 0:14:24.650 --> 0:14:28.790 The evildoers. I didn't know we'd never admitted that. I 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:30.860 kind of assumed we had weapons in space, but I 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.780 guess we've never said that out loud. Oh, yeah. 0:14:34.380 --> 0:14:37.740 Well, hey, speaking of races, we have to win. We 0:14:37.780 --> 0:14:41.520 need to run space. We need to own space. We 0:14:41.540 --> 0:14:44.090 need to dominate it. The moon, it's our moon. 0:14:44.110 --> 0:14:47.270 We were there first. Got to assert ourselves. A race 0:14:47.330 --> 0:14:49.890 to win reminds me of something. Don't let me forget that. 0:14:49.930 --> 0:14:50.770 I'll get to it later. 0:14:50.810 --> 0:14:51.030 Okay. 0:14:52.890 --> 0:14:54.430 From the Wall Street. 0:14:54.210 --> 0:14:58.690 Journal, for the love of God, please put on headphones. 0:14:59.810 --> 0:15:05.470 Oh, amen to that, says everybody. Everybody. Speaking of religion, 0:15:05.550 --> 0:15:08.780 fundamentalist religion, I think a stoning is perfectly in order. 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:12.280 For anybody who sits there watching a TV show or 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.680 video on your phone at the volume of the coffee shop, 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:17.760 at the plane, a full-on stoning. 0:15:18.370 --> 0:15:21.350 Stoning seems a bit much, but can we maybe come 0:15:21.390 --> 0:15:25.880 to an agreement as a society? Somebody in the airline 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:30.040 or the airport terminal there at the gate, somebody will 0:15:30.230 --> 0:15:32.430 walk up, grab the person's. 0:15:32.110 --> 0:15:34.990 Phone, and hurl it down the corridor, okay? 0:15:35.250 --> 0:15:37.450 And when they get up to fight them, we've all 0:15:37.470 --> 0:15:40.670 made a solemn vow, no, we back the hurler. We 0:15:40.730 --> 0:15:43.180 all stand up and say, no, you sit down, jackass. 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:50.460 Get headphones. Jackass. Strong language. From the New York Post. 0:15:51.340 --> 0:15:57.320 Noseless New York City man arrested on meth and cocaine charges. 0:15:57.460 --> 0:16:00.950 Wow. He lost his nose to drugs. 0:16:01.270 --> 0:16:01.430 Ew. 0:16:01.450 --> 0:16:03.550 It's a rough look. 0:16:03.730 --> 0:16:04.130 Yeah. 0:16:04.890 --> 0:16:05.030 Oh. 0:16:07.110 --> 0:16:11.410 From Study Finds, there's now a Taylor Swift bug. 0:16:12.510 --> 0:16:18.100 Meet the Swiftie Phyllis. I noticed they really toned down 0:16:18.140 --> 0:16:20.360 the Taylor Swift talk in the Chiefs game last night. 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.960 I don't think they showed her until Kelsey had like 0:16:24.020 --> 0:16:26.820 a 70-yard run. That was pretty amazing. And they quick 0:16:26.860 --> 0:16:32.180 went to the booth with Taylor jumping around. And finally, 0:16:32.420 --> 0:16:33.260 the Babylon Bee. 0:16:34.220 --> 0:16:38.040 Serving on jury with shrill liberal women added to list 0:16:38.060 --> 0:16:40.230 of torture methods under the Geneva Conventions. 0:16:40.650 --> 0:16:43.530 How much time do I got, Michael? Maybe I can 0:16:43.550 --> 0:16:47.320 fit this in here. I was sprinting in today. I 0:16:47.340 --> 0:16:49.920 always jog into work from the parking lot. I sprinted 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:51.970 in today because I'm wearing gymnasium shoes. And I thought, 0:16:52.370 --> 0:16:55.730 I wonder where I rank among 61-year-olds in America in 0:16:55.770 --> 0:16:57.830 terms of foot speed. I would like to race every 0:16:57.850 --> 0:17:02.350 61-year-old in America. I think I'd be in the top 5%, 10%. 0:17:02.350 --> 0:17:06.129 I got to be. Get in one of those old 0:17:06.170 --> 0:17:08.490 guy track meets. I'm pretty fast. I need to be 0:17:08.630 --> 0:17:12.419 old guy track meets. You have a new goal, a dream. 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.060 It's beautiful. Do I have to wear a tank top? 0:17:14.100 --> 0:17:18.280 That's really the deal breaker. I ain't wearing a tank top. 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:23.109 News to get to. Stay here. Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:24.790 --> 0:17:27.550 For the first time, a major military leader appears to 0:17:27.570 --> 0:17:29.690 have publicly acknowledged the U.S. 0:17:29.750 --> 0:17:31.550 Is operating weapons in space. 0:17:32.150 --> 0:17:35.630 The Air Force secretary acknowledging space-based weapons in orbit. 0:17:35.430 --> 0:17:36.220 For the first time. 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:38.840 He did not reveal what kind of weapon it is 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:42.040 or what capacity it has. It comes amid ongoing tensions 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:43.699 in space with China and Russia. 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:45.510 Yeah, I. 0:17:46.810 --> 0:17:49.649 Had not thought about it a lot, but I guess no. 0:17:50.170 --> 0:17:53.450 We've never announced officially we have weapons in space, and 0:17:53.470 --> 0:17:56.189 I kind of assumed we did, but I don't know 0:17:56.210 --> 0:17:58.560 what I was basing that on. So, yeah, it's the 0:17:58.580 --> 0:18:00.199 first time we've ever said out loud, yeah, we have 0:18:00.220 --> 0:18:04.700 weapons in space. Does China? Probably, I would assume. Or 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:08.640 trying as hard and as fast as they can, certainly. Yeah, yeah. 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:10.640 Handful of headlines kicking around. 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.399 I know Katie wanted to be part of the discussion 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:17.390 of your giant Emmy winner from last night. They still 0:18:17.430 --> 0:18:20.650 have awards for TV shows for some reason. And Widows 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.660 Bay won the most single season Emmys. 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:28.420 Ever for a comedy. Yeah, and my first thought... This 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.920 is why the only thing I like about award shows 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.109 is they tip me off to good things. I remember 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:38.510 however many years ago when... S. Creek won the most 0:18:38.630 --> 0:18:40.770 something or others as a comedy. I'd never heard of it. 0:18:40.780 --> 0:18:42.180 I had never watched it, and it turned out to 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:43.699 be one of my favorite shows of all time. So 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:44.920 I wonder if this is going to be the case 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:47.460 here since it's won so many Emmys. I had never 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:48.960 even heard of it. It's a great show. Katie, you 0:18:49.010 --> 0:18:51.290 loved it. Yeah, I loved it. I've seen it from 0:18:51.330 --> 0:18:55.350 start to finish, and it is awesome. Okay, so here 0:18:55.369 --> 0:18:58.130 you have it. Go ahead. Well, no, I was just 0:18:58.170 --> 0:19:00.560 going to say it's described as a comedy. It's a 0:19:00.619 --> 0:19:03.720 talking dog and his owner who join a circus. Is 0:19:03.740 --> 0:19:07.160 that what I understand? The dog's the smart one. Very sassy. 0:19:07.900 --> 0:19:11.410 But it's not just a comedy. It's a horror comedy. 0:19:11.810 --> 0:19:14.550 So it has kind of an eerie feel to it. 0:19:14.750 --> 0:19:15.389 It's great. 0:19:15.850 --> 0:19:18.370 So Judy and I watched three episodes and didn't like 0:19:18.410 --> 0:19:20.810 it at all and said, eh, that's enough of that. 0:19:21.230 --> 0:19:24.300 We have no interest in the horror genre is why. 0:19:24.900 --> 0:19:27.200 If you like that sort of thing, you will like 0:19:27.260 --> 0:19:29.260 this sort of thing. Just because I don't like it 0:19:29.300 --> 0:19:32.120 doesn't mean it's not good. We didn't like it at all. 0:19:32.140 --> 0:19:34.300 Is there any chance you need to give it more? 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:38.400 If I had watched an episode of S. Creakins, like, boy, 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:42.250 this is dull. Because I didn't get the characters yet. 0:19:43.130 --> 0:19:45.490 Sometimes that is what happens. 0:19:45.790 --> 0:19:47.290 On the other hand, I think you could make a 0:19:47.310 --> 0:19:50.650 pretty good case of, if you can't grab me in three, hours, 0:19:51.490 --> 0:19:52.909 I got other things I can do. Yeah. 0:19:53.260 --> 0:20:02.640 But the more interesting topic to me— requires some character 0:20:02.700 --> 0:20:06.060 development stuff for stupid people is the stuff that hits 0:20:06.100 --> 0:20:08.560 you over the head with very broad this is what 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.040 this person's like and this is what this person's like oh. 0:20:11.020 --> 0:20:15.270 He's the loud funny guy he's the smart guy right 0:20:15.290 --> 0:20:19.190 yeah it's for stupid people i would agree i would 0:20:19.230 --> 0:20:21.889 agree i've got my hand in the air uh the 0:20:21.970 --> 0:20:24.910 other thing the other aspect of it that strikes me 0:20:25.109 --> 0:20:30.260 is odd is there are moments of humor in the show, but. 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.480 It's not a comedy. It's a hell of a stretch 0:20:33.500 --> 0:20:35.560 to call it a comedy, man. That happens a lot 0:20:35.580 --> 0:20:38.139 in the modern world. I also, I understand. I was 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.920 thinking about this when I heard the news that this show, 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:42.530 I'd never heard of one, all these words. I thought 0:20:42.970 --> 0:20:44.669 the first question people are going to have, or we're 0:20:44.690 --> 0:20:46.750 going to answer it. What's it about? And I don't 0:20:46.790 --> 0:20:50.510 think that question works anymore. Um, I understand why people 0:20:50.750 --> 0:20:54.199 ask it, but, Before you start watching a show, what 0:20:54.220 --> 0:20:56.590 the hell is it about? But I don't know that 0:20:56.700 --> 0:21:00.050 any of my favorite shows, I don't know any description 0:21:00.430 --> 0:21:04.470 that would give me the slightest idea of how great 0:21:04.510 --> 0:21:06.649 it's going to be. It's about a drug dealer in 0:21:06.670 --> 0:21:08.740 the desert. Okay, fantastic. 0:21:09.340 --> 0:21:13.520 I'm not really into deserts or drugs, so never mind. 0:21:13.540 --> 0:21:13.700 Exactly. 0:21:14.910 --> 0:21:19.340 Right. So you dismiss this out of hand, coldly and angrily. 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:20.060 Well, not angrily. 0:21:20.619 --> 0:21:24.080 But Jay Martella, who's the former showrunner for Key & Peele, 0:21:24.500 --> 0:21:27.000 which was extremely funny. Both of those guys are very, 0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:30.650 very funny. He wrote a piece in the New York Times, 0:21:31.070 --> 0:21:35.929 and he points out that of the eight shows... nominated 0:21:36.109 --> 0:21:38.730 for the Best Comedy Series, only one of them is 0:21:38.850 --> 0:21:45.380 really a comedy. The others are dramas that have maybe left... 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:46.580 He cites 2023, I think it was, the year that 0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:50.859 The Bear won Best Comedy as the year the sitcom 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:54.760 entered hospice care. That show is amusing at times in 0:21:54.780 --> 0:21:57.100 the same way that life is amusing at times. 0:21:57.619 --> 0:22:00.230 Yeah, I find everything funny. I think Das Boots a comedy. 0:22:00.310 --> 0:22:03.350 That's the kind of guy I am. Well, there you go. 0:22:04.010 --> 0:22:08.510 Speaking of stupid people. Anyway, what? Is this on? Anyway, 0:22:08.770 --> 0:22:10.950
