Speaker 2: When I was single and childless, Thank you? What is
Speaker 2: your name? I want to call sorry, Gladys. I want
Speaker 2: to call her Lola. For some reason, Lola doesn't play
Speaker 2: the harp. Thank you, Gladys for laying the harp of
Speaker 2: me reminiscing about something. When I was a single and
Speaker 2: child there were a few weekends where I would realize
Speaker 2: on Monday morning, as I'm driving to work to do
Speaker 2: the radio show that I hadn't said a word since
Speaker 2: I left work on Friday, because I hadn't interacted with
Speaker 2: another human being at all. I just saidn't word to anybody. Hmmm,
Speaker 2: I don't really know what to say to that.
Speaker 1: What percentage of the population can make that same claim
Speaker 1: I did not interact with another human being the entire weekend,
Speaker 1: did not speak a word. Fairly limited, I would guess,
Speaker 1: But you know, you do you what would you guess,
Speaker 1: and if you as angry hermit.
Speaker 2: I would guess that both my brothers have done it
Speaker 2: semi regularly recently with their kids older and out of
Speaker 2: the house.
Speaker 3: Like not even a phone call, Like that's bizarre, mean,
Speaker 3: nobody talks on the phone.
Speaker 2: And I don't know if that's a good example. Now
Speaker 2: back in the day, No, we're.
Speaker 1: Talking back in the day. Yeah, right, you had Gladys
Speaker 1: play the damn harp, then you Lola, and now we're
Speaker 1: in the present day. On what's going on here? Somebody
Speaker 1: explained the crowd rules.
Speaker 2: Have we all lost what.
Speaker 1: Does Walter say in The Big Lebowski something about it?
Speaker 1: We all lost our minds? Nobody cares about the rules anymore?
Speaker 2: How much on an outlier do you think I am?
Speaker 2: You think I'm in the one percent of the population
Speaker 2: that has ever done that? Or it's fewer than five
Speaker 2: five pretty small?
Speaker 1: No, it's not five. It's one to one to two tonight.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's probably good for you. I also
Speaker 2: had to do with like like, uh, you know, I
Speaker 2: have a really big Friday night, maybe a long watching
Speaker 2: movies or something. You don't feel so good on Saturday.
Speaker 2: Maybe part of Sunday, you just don't leave the house.
Speaker 2: You order a pizza. You know, it might be an
Speaker 2: exaggeration to have not said a word to anybody. Might
Speaker 2: have said thanks to the pizza guy when he handed
Speaker 2: me the pizza, but it wouldn't have been more than
Speaker 2: a couple of words.
Speaker 3: Oh, in this day and age, even with phones, I've
Speaker 3: I've done that. We're you take the recovery day, you
Speaker 3: turn the phone off.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, So think about this though. The younger crowd
Speaker 2: now with their lifestyle, like you know, our producer Sean
Speaker 2: or whatever, I'll but he had weekends where he never
Speaker 2: said a word to anybody other than through maybe a headset, plane,
Speaker 2: video games, or a number of young people. Now that
Speaker 2: you know you can DoorDash or whatever, you don't have
Speaker 2: to call anybody to order food or something. Ill about
Speaker 2: it happens more often than you think. It'd still be
Speaker 2: a small number. It makes me sad. All I know
Speaker 2: is we're moving more that direction than away from it.
Speaker 2: I would guess, which is good.
Speaker 1: You can see all the statistics on how happy and
Speaker 1: care free young people are these days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I ever came out of a
Speaker 2: weekend like thinking that was like a really good time
Speaker 2: or what an awesome weekend that was or something. I'm
Speaker 2: not claiming that.
Speaker 3: See, And I'm of the day and age of cell
Speaker 3: phones and whatnot, and it's amazing the hoops I will
Speaker 3: jump through to avoid having to talk to somebody else. Yeah,
Speaker 3: like you know, scheduling appointments online, ordering online, all that stuff.
Speaker 2: I would much rather do that than have to call
Speaker 2: and interact with someone. Yeah, I avoid it now, not
Speaker 2: because I don't want to talk to If I thought
Speaker 2: I could talk to human being, i'd call right away.
Speaker 2: I don't want to call and get your impossible to
Speaker 2: use automated phone system that takes me twenty minutes and
Speaker 2: doesn't work. I'll see if I can do it online.
Speaker 2: And the reason it takes twenty minutes and doesn't work
Speaker 2: is because you want me to do it online because
Speaker 2: it's the cheapest thing for you. But that's a different topic.
Speaker 2: A couple of quick things here. I just came across this.
Speaker 2: Don't usually talk about this sort of thing on this podcast.
Speaker 2: This money circulating in US is expanding rapidly. We have
Speaker 2: a money supply surge going on right now. It's the
Speaker 2: highest level in over a year. They think that will
Speaker 2: likely lead to inflation surging higher. Don't like that story.
Speaker 1: It ought to if the laws of monetary physics are
Speaker 1: still true, and they.
Speaker 2: Are, and then this one. This is an actual survey.
Speaker 2: This isn't one of those done by According to walkin
Speaker 2: Tubs dot com, older people always look at who paid
Speaker 2: for the survey. A lot of time surveys have just
Speaker 2: did their crap because of who they paid for. This
Speaker 2: is actual research done by a team of German researchers
Speaker 2: in Germany and the United States. Journal Psychology stuff about
Speaker 2: how what we where we think old age begins has
Speaker 2: been moving higher. This is not surprising at all. Last July,
Speaker 2: that's what do you think old age began for you?
Speaker 1: Yes? Absolutely last time. I feel like I screwed up
Speaker 1: my back. Oh really started the shuffling like I'm ninety
Speaker 1: and it's a lot better now.
Speaker 2: But that has a lot to do with it, because
Speaker 2: I was gonna mention my mom and dad have different
Speaker 2: numbers on that, and for those reasons. My mom's physical
Speaker 2: health is not near where my dad's is, So I
Speaker 2: don't know what she would say, but she would probably
Speaker 2: say old age starts. Well, I can tell you the
Speaker 2: average now is seventy five. If you actually ask a
Speaker 2: senior when does old age begin, it's now seventy five.
Speaker 2: Seventy five is the new sixty five, Because it used
Speaker 2: to be not that many years ago people said old
Speaker 2: age started at sixty five. Now that would seem kind
Speaker 2: of crazy, I think for a lot of people.
Speaker 1: Yes, for me, it started at forty eight.
Speaker 4: That's when you start hurting yourself, you know, just doing
Speaker 4: the most basic things like walking or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was just in the lunch room and one
Speaker 2: of the saleswomen who is now in her forties, was
Speaker 2: talking about all forties or not what I thought they
Speaker 2: would be talking about trying to work out, and she
Speaker 2: keeps getting hurt and blah blah blah. Yeah, but so
Speaker 2: now it's seventy five. Is both sixty five? My dad
Speaker 2: says eighty eighties when old age starts, but that's because
Speaker 2: he was still riding his horse up till eighty two.
Speaker 2: My mom has not been as physically as gifted as
Speaker 2: him and would put it a little earlier, but probably
Speaker 2: about surprisingly.
Speaker 1: The horse was seventy five. What it's an old.
Speaker 2: Horse, Joe horse, When are you going to get off
Speaker 2: of me? That is the question, when do I have
Speaker 2: When do I get to be an old age? That
Speaker 2: do only makes sense. I suppose life expectancy and help.
Speaker 2: My mom regularly says that when she was a kid,
Speaker 2: people in their sixties were considered old. That you were
Speaker 2: done with life in your sixties. Nobody would have thought
Speaker 2: you played golf or rode a horse or rode bikes
Speaker 2: or vacationed or anything in your sixties.
Speaker 1: You were just a new career. Are you kidding?
Speaker 2: You were just in a rocking chair in your sixties,
Speaker 2: which now, of course seems crazy. You're the youngest amongst
Speaker 2: Katie and he thoughts on this, or does everything over
Speaker 2: the age of forty five just seem ancient to you?
Speaker 3: No, both my parents are in their early to mid seventies,
Speaker 3: and they're both young as can be, So I don't
Speaker 3: even think seventy five is old in my perspective. And
Speaker 3: I dude, everything started hurting on me last year. And
Speaker 3: I had a stroke when I was thirty one, so
Speaker 3: I'm ninety.
Speaker 1: That's why would get along?
Speaker 2: So I all having a stroke at thirty one would
Speaker 2: change your view of it. I didn't have any health
Speaker 2: situation really at all until I got cancer at forty nine, but.
Speaker 3: Dude, my health went nuts at twenty nine and a
Speaker 3: kidney problem came up out of nowhere, a quote mutated gene.
Speaker 3: I have a hereditary condition that is a mutated gene
Speaker 3: because nobody else in my family has it. And then
Speaker 3: I stroked out in twenty twenty. It was wild, have
Speaker 3: no idea.
Speaker 2: What caused that? The stroke?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it was a mixture of not taking care
Speaker 3: of myself in stress.
Speaker 2: Okay, they said, oh really, but some of it was
Speaker 2: in your control.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I I wasn't exercising at all.
Speaker 2: I was obese big time. Were you really? I can't
Speaker 2: picture you obese at all? Two pounds? Were you really?
Speaker 2: This is new information, so that that's why you're always
Speaker 2: talking about working out and you eat so healthy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I had I had to make a change.
Speaker 3: The doctors were like this, you don't They actually call
Speaker 3: said that I dodged a bullet because I had three
Speaker 3: tias over the course.
Speaker 1: Of a week. Yeah. Yeah, Well it'll get your attention,
Speaker 1: want it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Huge?
Speaker 2: Kind of like what I mean.
Speaker 3: Michael Angelo had had the big shock Diabete's diagnosis and
Speaker 3: had to make a complete change on his life eye opening.
Speaker 2: That's why I've been saying for a long time that
Speaker 2: I'd like to have a minor heart attack. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: think a minor heart attack would get my attention and
Speaker 2: I wouldn't need donuts and stuff anymore. I don't want
Speaker 2: a major heart atack.
Speaker 1: I don't want to die.
Speaker 2: I got kids to raise. But I think a minor
Speaker 2: heart attack just a little a huh, like flicking my
Speaker 2: ear huh. Wake up.
Speaker 1: Well, good luck with that plan. That's between you and
Speaker 1: the almighty, who you'll be meeting sooner than later. But
Speaker 1: that's an interesting way to approach life. Note to self,
Speaker 1: take blood pressure this afternoon. Yes, oh yeah, it's always
Speaker 1: a good idea. One final note on brain health, because
Speaker 1: during your little screen about not having contact with any
Speaker 1: human being for an entire weekend, you know, so much
Speaker 1: of what we are is neurologically predetermined, honestly, and if
Speaker 1: you're a neurological outsider or outlier, you just are. And
Speaker 1: you can, as I always say, you can operate within
Speaker 1: a certain narrowish lane of the way you're made. You
Speaker 1: can intentionally be more outgoing because you know it's good
Speaker 1: for you. Blah blah blah, but you are who you are.
Speaker 1: Having said that, we were talking about handwriting and why
Speaker 1: so many states are trying to bring back handwriting incursive.
Speaker 1: I was intrigued because there wasn't a lot of information
Speaker 1: in the article we had, and I was reading into it.
Speaker 1: And apparently, according to neuropsychologists, there's something about handwriting that involves.
Speaker 2: All sorts of different parts of.
Speaker 1: Your brain that govern language and creativity and physical stuff
Speaker 1: and whatever, and they all have to interconnect and work
Speaker 1: together to yield handwriting and it's really good for your brain.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it's a use it or lose.
Speaker 1: It thing with your brain.
Speaker 2: I'm completely aware of that, and of just the idea
Speaker 2: of That's why journaling and that sort of stuff is
Speaker 2: so important. There's something about writing down thoughts that can
Speaker 2: get them out of your head and and arrange them
Speaker 2: in ways that they don't get arranged otherwise. And people
Speaker 2: have known this for centuries and if you don't do it,
Speaker 2: you should try it. I do it every day, sometimes
Speaker 2: twice a day. But writing things down organizes them in
Speaker 2: your head or gets them out of your head, like
Speaker 2: if you gotta you know, why do I keep thinking
Speaker 2: about this thing that's driving me, nuts write it down
Speaker 2: a couple of times and it can go away. Trust me,
Speaker 2: I've done it. I don't know how many times, but
Speaker 2: I do. They know that printing doesn't do the same
Speaker 2: thing as cursive, because I print everything. I've had success
Speaker 2: with it. And that's why I just don't understand why
Speaker 2: they're bringing back cursive specifically.
Speaker 1: I really can't imagine why it would be different.
Speaker 2: I can't, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't, which doesn't mean that it's not. I just
Speaker 1: can't imagine.
Speaker 2: One question that I don't think they've answered, because I've
Speaker 2: looked into this and read some stuff about it. They're
Speaker 2: not sure if typing works the same way as I
Speaker 2: was just talking about or not, because you are picking
Speaker 2: specific letters and having to manipulate your fingers and everything
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and what about playing a musical instrument And
Speaker 1: although you can't compel a kid to play the guitar,
Speaker 1: but you can have them right in school and it's
Speaker 1: good for the brains.
Speaker 2: They brought back. If you didn't hear us talking about this,
Speaker 2: they brought back cursive I think down twenty two states,
Speaker 2: and I just wondered, why, what's the argument for it.
Speaker 2: I'm seeing that curse.
Speaker 3: According to the Google cursive engages more areas of the
Speaker 3: brain than when you print.
Speaker 2: I if that's true. It's true, right, I do know
Speaker 2: because I know some of these people. There's just a
Speaker 2: hanging onto cursive because I've always done it. I'm good
Speaker 2: at it, and my grandma did it, and that's why
Speaker 2: that drives some of it. But if it's better for you,
Speaker 2: it's better for you, and I'm fine with that.
Speaker 1: All I know is that the environment of the beast,
Speaker 1: the human beast, is evolving at five thousand times the
Speaker 1: speed that the beast can adapt to it.
Speaker 2: M yeah, probably more like five hundred thousand times of speed.
Speaker 1: But yeah, all right, how about five million times?
Speaker 2: But the point being, yeah, what are we going to
Speaker 2: do with that?
Speaker 1: I was hoping he'd say, yeah, how about fifty million times?
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 2: And we're not even close to how fast it's going
Speaker 2: to go as soon as AI and everything kicks in.
Speaker 1: So well, we're all doomed, doomed to insanity, misery, drug addiction,
Speaker 1: public fornication. Who knows, we.
Speaker 2: Knows, we wish public fornication, maybe some babies would be born.
Speaker 2: So if I was one percent of the population, that
Speaker 2: didn't talk to anybody over the weekend. That number will
Speaker 2: be seventy five percent here in about ten years.
Speaker 1: I think, and the survivors will write that history, but
Speaker 1: not incursive because their brains have stopped working.
Speaker 2: That's something too funny not to end.

Speaker 1: It's The Armstrong and Giddy Show featuring our podcast One
Speaker 1: more Thing. Download it, subscribe to it wherever you'd like
Speaker 1: to get podcasts.
Speaker 2: But this, this was actually real. Remember this promo. I
Speaker 2: never watched the show.
Speaker 1: And the most horrifying comedy attack ever caught on TAE
Speaker 1: That was when animals attack. That was in the heyday
Speaker 1: of when Big Fox went with like super pandery shows
Speaker 1: like when animals attack in celebrity boxing and stuff.
Speaker 2: Well, that would so the world's most terrifying donkey attack
Speaker 2: caught on tape.
Speaker 1: Yes, and the most horrifying comedy attack ever caught on TAE. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not like a somewhat horrifying or one of your second
Speaker 1: or third most horrifying donkey attacks. They got the mcgilla,
Speaker 1: They got the all time champ, the most horrifying donkey attack, right.
Speaker 2: Take it for the top five. Take that other s and get.
Speaker 1: It out of here.
Speaker 2: Your marginally dangerous donkey exactly, somewhat horrifying donkey attacks.
Speaker 1: Who had watch that? I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: That's also when they were doing the Man versus Beast,
Speaker 2: which I love.
Speaker 1: That was so crap horrific.
Speaker 2: We're so funny.
Speaker 4: Then Michael Phelps against a shark too, Yeah, that was
Speaker 4: that was more recent.
Speaker 1: But Katie, this is when you were but a wee girl.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Fox, Big Fox used to do some great
Speaker 1: idiotic pandering TV shows.
Speaker 2: They had whoever was the current fastest runner raced a
Speaker 2: giraffe I think for inexplicable reasons.
Speaker 1: And a guy what did he wrestle up there? Oh,
Speaker 1: he tried to out eat It was a hot dog
Speaker 1: eating content Kobyashi.
Speaker 2: At the time before Joey Chestnut, the top hot dog
Speaker 2: eater in the world. Kobyashi tried to eat played a
Speaker 2: hot talks faster than a and the bear just like
Speaker 2: just went This sounds like golden entertainment, Oh it was.
Speaker 1: It was. It was terrible because they'd show like the
Speaker 1: only really good piece of footage to promote it, and
Speaker 1: at the beginning and over and over again. Then you
Speaker 1: had to wait till the end of the show and
Speaker 1: sit through, you know, just just stupidity.
Speaker 2: Well, and the animals usually won, like just very easily
Speaker 2: as you would expect. There was some NFL lineman or
Speaker 2: some big tough guy who did a tuggle war with
Speaker 2: the rang Attack because.
Speaker 1: I'd forgotten about that one. Oh this is good stuff.
Speaker 2: Stupid show. I just remember you had the guy in
Speaker 2: the giraffe and they released him and the guys run
Speaker 2: as fast again and the giraffe just disappeared.
Speaker 1: What's the point of this? When Animals Attack was on
Speaker 1: for weeks? Right, that was a that was an ongoing show.
Speaker 2: Right, that was the heyday of Fox. Bring that back.
Speaker 2: I think they just ran out of ideas.
Speaker 1: And sometimes they'd have real footage, but because not everybody
Speaker 1: had a cell phone at that point and ring cameras
Speaker 1: weren't omnipresent, it was a lot of reenactments, very disciplined.
Speaker 1: I don't care how good your reenactment is, it's not
Speaker 1: the same as actual footage.

Speaker 2: We got. This is about the way I grill and
Speaker 2: the pictures I've tweeted out and Katie's complain about my
Speaker 2: grilling re IQ differences which we were talking about differences
Speaker 2: different kinds of intelligence earlier in the show. Somebody texted,
Speaker 2: Jack seems to be brilliant at history, but then he
Speaker 2: puts his grilling utensils on the ground, So yes, there
Speaker 2: are different kinds of intelligence. That's a great point.
Speaker 1: Yes, the contrast shocking.
Speaker 2: I don't know why I put the spatula on the ground,
Speaker 2: and well not just that, but then we brought when
Speaker 2: we pointed it out to you said well where else where?
Speaker 1: Should I put them?
Speaker 2: Anywhere else? Jack?
Speaker 1: Yes, even on a paper towel on the ground, although
Speaker 1: that's just partial credit. Did get this note from Dan
Speaker 1: in North Carolina. I'm with you, Jack, I have zero
Speaker 1: intro and grilling, and am convinced that half the men
Speaker 1: that claim to be interested. Are latent junior high schoolers
Speaker 1: desperate to fit in. So, like the brave, masked intellectual
Speaker 1: walking your parade route, I say f you to those
Speaker 1: who bows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't mean. I don't think there's got to
Speaker 2: be a flaw. And other people that liked the grill,
Speaker 2: I just don't enjoy it, and I have no interest
Speaker 2: in learning to be better at it.
Speaker 1: And then Dan spends a tale worth telling as an aside.
Speaker 1: I have a relative by marriage, of course, that fancies
Speaker 1: himself a master griller. So the propane grill was too bourgeois,
Speaker 1: so he purchased the same charcoal grill you have, except
Speaker 1: apparently he couldn't figure out how to install the legs,
Speaker 1: so he just put it on top of a deck railing.
Speaker 1: Then he lit the fire in there, burned a hole
Speaker 1: almost completely through a plywood table, and emblazon the leaves
Speaker 1: around the car port, which led to a fire department
Speaker 1: visit emblazoned. He is in quotes like that reporter. Bet
Speaker 1: his steaks are great, though. Yeah, the grillest in the
Speaker 1: anti grillist is that the newest fault line, the dividing
Speaker 1: line in American society.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm giving up on that manly skill, but
Speaker 2: hoping I make for it and other manly areas, like
Speaker 2: if you couldn't put the legs on that grill, you
Speaker 2: really have no ability to fix or work on anything.
Speaker 2: Holy crap. They're like, yeah, two screws in a wing nut. Yes,
Speaker 2: Katie is at risk.
Speaker 3: Oh, I just think that if you if you had
Speaker 3: a different grill, it might change your experience a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it can't be comfortable being down in that position grilling
Speaker 3: at all.
Speaker 2: No, it's not comfortable in that position doing anything.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: How much did you spend for that grill?
Speaker 1: Jack?
Speaker 2: I honestly think it was on sale. I think it
Speaker 2: was eight dollars because it was on sale. It was
Speaker 2: like they had two left. Should you spend dollar? Grill
Speaker 2: guy now he's lying. He stole it from the guy
Speaker 2: that lives in front of the radio station. Right, lives
Speaker 2: in his beaten down RV.
Speaker 1: It's the mini Weber right that sits like a foot
Speaker 1: off the ground the top of it. It's a foot
Speaker 1: foot of maybe a foot and a half.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's designed to take with you camping
Speaker 2: or something. It's not designed to tailgate the grill you
Speaker 2: have in your backyard, right, Yeah, it's kind of funny
Speaker 2: when I've been looking for a house and some of
Speaker 2: these houses, you know, they got the built in grill
Speaker 2: with the refrigerator and just alid in a fan above it,
Speaker 2: and all these differents. I think, I think this is
Speaker 2: slightly different than what I hear it have.
Speaker 4: Hanson says he knows a place you could buy by.
Speaker 1: She used grills.
Speaker 2: There you go. Yes, I should do one with legs.
Speaker 2: Would be handy if I didn't have to bend over. Anyway,
Speaker 2: that's probably enough of that. This was from The Daily
Speaker 2: Show last night. Once a week, the old host of
Speaker 2: The Daily Show, John Stewart is on there. Pretty funny.
Speaker 1: Well, he's actually funny, which is in contrast with the
Speaker 1: other hosts, certainly Trevor Noah. Wow.
Speaker 2: This features a word I knew, I never said and
Speaker 2: never will say. And other people think this sort of
Speaker 2: humor is funny, and so we didn't air it on
Speaker 2: the air. But I realize other people find this humorous.
Speaker 2: As I was explaining, though the media has systematically failed to.
Speaker 3: Contest Jean, Please, you're killing me, My poor sweet naive
Speaker 3: older than I remember, John, We.
Speaker 1: Need this messy spectacle.
Speaker 2: Every other news story is a massive bummer.
Speaker 3: This Trump trial is like an open window and a
Speaker 3: greyhound bus full of farts.
Speaker 2: Why are you.
Speaker 4: Trying to close the window, John, Why are you trying
Speaker 4: to make a smell farts?
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to make a swell.
Speaker 2: You're not trying to make and hands. Our executive producer
Speaker 2: thought that was funny. I don't like that word. I
Speaker 2: don't say that word to me. That is the F word,
Speaker 2: and so we'll never understand that. I don't understand it myself,
Speaker 2: but I'm appalled by that word. And I do not
Speaker 2: find that there are any humor in the topic.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Captain cuckoo whatever. I'm interested in the
Speaker 1: angle of we need this story. It's a breath of
Speaker 1: fresh air. I mean, it's a is that just lefty insanity?
Speaker 2: Or I find focusing on what time he arrived, what
Speaker 2: his hair looked like, did he fall asleep? Just something
Speaker 2: that's just that as opposed to super heavy duty, wore abortion,
Speaker 2: et cetera. I guess yeah.
Speaker 1: The weaponizing of the justice system against political candidates is
Speaker 1: is light fair. It's hilarious. I think I could stay awake.
Speaker 2: I thought it was pretty funny that that young correspondent
Speaker 2: said older than I remember John Stewart. She probably was
Speaker 2: watching him in like junior high and really into it.
Speaker 2: Now she's on the Daily Show.
Speaker 1: You know how it is if you see somebody then
Speaker 1: see him five years later.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh God, I had one of those the
Speaker 2: other day. I ran into somebody, thought did did I
Speaker 2: have I aged the same amount since the last time
Speaker 2: I saw you as you have? I can't possibly be true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, okay.
Speaker 2: I think I'm pretty sure. I didn't take a lot
Speaker 2: of physics, but I'm pretty sure time moves the same
Speaker 2: rate for all of us, right.
Speaker 1: Unless one finds oneself in a black hole? Yes, that
Speaker 1: is my understanding.
Speaker 2: Of So if I run into somebody and they've aged
Speaker 2: a certain amount, what lead me to believe that I've
Speaker 2: aged the same amount too? I just haven't recognized it?
Speaker 2: Am I correct?
Speaker 1: There? Ye? Sure you see yourself every day.
Speaker 2: This probably doesn't happen to you, does a Katie? You're
Speaker 2: too young for that. No, but it has. I've seen
Speaker 2: some people from high school. I'm like, ooh, you're aging, dreamer.
Speaker 4: Can you tell them that?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: My face probably does and I am the master of
Speaker 3: saying it with my facial expressions.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, all right, people do age at different rates, though,
Speaker 2: I mean, there's biggest swing is fifteen years. They say
Speaker 2: in what age you look once you get older, depending
Speaker 2: on genetics and lifestyle. So it's not completely true that
Speaker 2: we aged the same amount.
Speaker 1: And I'm realizing the ultimate do you want to look
Speaker 1: good now or later? Is sun exposure.
Speaker 2: Oh wow. I have a female friend who all her
Speaker 2: friends say, why do you look so young? And it's
Speaker 2: all because she did not tan when she was younger
Speaker 2: like they all did, and she does look she's fifteen
Speaker 2: years younger than her contemporaries at least. Wow. So it
Speaker 2: is tough. Do you want to be pale person at
Speaker 2: the pool when you're twenty two or do you want
Speaker 2: to be looks forty at age fifty person when you're older.
Speaker 2: That's a tough call, leather face.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely find myself as I am rapidly aging.
Speaker 1: Among you got your tens too much, young woman, Then
Speaker 1: you got your tens too much forty year old woman,
Speaker 1: and you're starting to see the signs of what might
Speaker 1: be described as a catcher's mit like dermis. And then
Speaker 1: you have your sixty plus tened too much woman and
Speaker 1: man nim birds have come home.
Speaker 2: To rooms about hey about a Yeah, that's a heck
Speaker 2: of a price to pay to be good in tan
Speaker 2: when you were twenty five. It really is.
Speaker 1: And again I don't I don't mean to be cruel.
Speaker 1: I don't measure people by their looks. But there's no
Speaker 1: better term than leathery.
Speaker 4: I remember we had a salesperson referred to as tan guy.
Speaker 2: Well he was, he was, Yeah, he was super tan.
Speaker 2: Was it actual tank? It was? I know it was
Speaker 2: real tan because we went to a company Remember there
Speaker 2: was a company barbecue once and he did the really
Speaker 2: odd thing at this company barbecue everybody stand out where
Speaker 2: he took off his shirt and sat in a lawn
Speaker 2: chair with everybody around at the company barbecue so he
Speaker 2: could get more sons. So I guess, I guess he
Speaker 2: was tan guy.
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, work function, Yeah, but hey, sons out,
Speaker 1: guns out and teats. Apparently nim exactly. Guy was in
Speaker 1: really good shape. But yeah, he was not gonna waste
Speaker 1: a single opportunity to get more u Vy raising armstrong
Speaker 1: and getty getting weird. I think canna weird fast, don't
Speaker 1: you think it's a little hot.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, there's no doubt in my mind. This is the

Speaker 2: So Katie brought us this headline earlier in the show.
Speaker 2: Now I have the details. It's really something in the
Speaker 2: headline being a woman in Brazil was arrested after she
Speaker 2: attempted to get a dead body in a wheelchair to
Speaker 2: sign for a bank loan.
Speaker 3: I was on Twitter or x or whatever the hell
Speaker 3: it's called now when this video went viral, so I
Speaker 3: saw the unedited version because now it's been blurred all
Speaker 3: over the place. This guy was dead dead like oh
Speaker 3: just not just like just dead, but like megadet, oh
Speaker 3: really been dead a while?
Speaker 2: Maybe not?
Speaker 1: Can you be more precise?
Speaker 3: Not Riga mortis dead because she was able to kind
Speaker 3: of move him around, but he was super deadook it out.
Speaker 2: So here we go. Woman in Brazil arrested Tuesday suspicion
Speaker 2: of theft by fraud and violating a corpse. You know,
Speaker 2: as I've said many times, when I'm dead, you can
Speaker 2: do whatever you want to me. Don't charge with a crime.
Speaker 2: I don't care. It doesn't make any difference. I mean,
Speaker 2: you're a little weird, but you violated me in any way.
Speaker 2: I don't care.
Speaker 1: I may get a couple of licks in, you know,
Speaker 1: work out some frustrations.
Speaker 2: Jack Pinata after she brought her dead uncle to a
Speaker 2: bank to sign a lone agreement, she had raised suspicion
Speaker 2: after she entered the small bank the bank there in
Speaker 2: Rio with a man in a wheelchair who she called
Speaker 2: her uncle. Well, that's not that would Why would that
Speaker 2: raise suspicion? That's not weird. The woman and they her
Speaker 2: name here which I can't pronounce, reportedly told the clerk
Speaker 2: that they were to sign off on this seventeen thousand
Speaker 2: reass loan that's as hifty dollars. And security cambridge footage
Speaker 2: which Katie has seen, the woman can be seen picking
Speaker 2: up the man's hand and repositioning his head to try
Speaker 2: to get him to sign the document in front of him.
Speaker 2: This guy's head was flopping all over the place. Oh
Speaker 2: my forward backward, mouth open.
Speaker 3: And then she finally gets irritated enough to just get
Speaker 3: a grip on the back of his.
Speaker 2: Neck and she's holding him steady with the other hand.
Speaker 2: She's trying to pick up his arm and get it
Speaker 2: to hold the pen.
Speaker 1: It's good, good, plot, and you say that didn't work.
Speaker 2: His head's going all over the place. Oh yeah, can
Speaker 2: be picking up the hand reposition. He's head.
Speaker 1: Uncle.
Speaker 2: Are you listening? You need to sign. If you don't sign,
Speaker 2: there's no way because I can't sign for you. She
Speaker 2: can be heard saying on the audio, I will just
Speaker 2: steady your hand. All right, uncle, Are you listening? You
Speaker 2: need to sign. He doesn't say anything. That's just how
Speaker 2: he is. She tells the clerk when he doesn't reply,
Speaker 2: if you're not okay, I'm going to take you to
Speaker 2: the hospital.
Speaker 1: But the man don't bother.
Speaker 2: The man's unresponsive nature and lolling head, has described as
Speaker 2: by Katie Green, caused concern among bank employees, who called
Speaker 2: local ambulance services.
Speaker 1: Dude is megadad.
Speaker 2: On arriving, the doctor's confirmed the sixty year old man
Speaker 2: had been dead for quite some time. His body was
Speaker 2: taken directly to a morgue, and she's been arrested. Creative idea.
Speaker 2: Her lawyers are arguing, no, no, no, no, he was fine.
Speaker 2: He must have died in the wheelchair as I was
Speaker 2: rolling into the bank.
Speaker 1: Because you must before he signed, because.
Speaker 2: We talked about this, or dright out on the sidewalk
Speaker 2: before I rolled him in, and he must have died
Speaker 2: right beforehand. And I just didn't notice, not an effing chance,
Speaker 2: not a he is you.
Speaker 1: Know, he was never that energetic in life, so I
Speaker 1: didn't notice the difference.
Speaker 2: And his eyes just naturally sunk into his head like that.
Speaker 2: He always looked that oh megadead preliminary preliminary friendsic. Analysis
Speaker 2: says he had died at least several hours before the
Speaker 2: uh trying to sign for the loan, if not longer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if your uncle Enrique kicks it, I mean,
Speaker 1: just between you to decide, all right, we're going in
Speaker 1: on this loan together. He croaks just before you go
Speaker 1: to the bank. It's frustrating, it's inconvenient. I say, we
Speaker 1: stick with plan A and see how it goes.
Speaker 2: Will you come up with a workaround. That's what that is.
Speaker 2: It's a work around. Yeah, you try not to let
Speaker 2: his head flop all over and you lift his hand
Speaker 2: up there.
Speaker 1: As big a hit as weekend at Bernie's was, it's
Speaker 1: amazing to me that dragging a corpse around. Comedy didn't
Speaker 1: become a more important genre, right.
Speaker 2: There's only one movie to refer to, that one they're
Speaker 2: in like a whole bunch of them.
Speaker 1: I mean, American Pie spawned dozens of it imitators. For instance,
Speaker 1: there was a.
Speaker 3: Few years ago where the Weekend at Bernie's funeral went viral?
Speaker 2: Do you guys remember that? I don't know that, I
Speaker 2: do the headline. There were like a series of funerals.
Speaker 3: I think BuzzFeed did like an article about it and
Speaker 3: compiled a list of people that, instead of just having
Speaker 3: like a regular visitation or whatever, had themselves like dressed
Speaker 3: and propped up with like cigarettes put in their hands,
Speaker 3: and they were love that, and the families were coming
Speaker 3: up and like taking pictures with them. And there was
Speaker 3: another one that was a weightlifter and they actually attached
Speaker 3: their hands to like a deadlift.
Speaker 1: You see.
Speaker 2: It depends on the situation though, clearly, because like my
Speaker 2: friends would think it was fine, yeah, but my kids
Speaker 2: might not. I hope you know who it is.
Speaker 1: So I'm picturing all right. I mean if you had
Speaker 1: me sitting in a chair with my telecaster in my lap, right,
Speaker 1: you know that's not or maybe like someone flying down
Speaker 1: the couch with a half empty scotch next to me,
Speaker 1: like I was watching a golf tournament and fell asleep.
Speaker 1: My wife would appreciate that one.
Speaker 2: Okay, well yeah, I guess it depends, but yeah I
Speaker 2: could see that. Yeah, well yeah, there's a lot of
Speaker 2: caveats to the whole idea. I suppose. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The weightlifting one got my attention though, because the way
Speaker 3: that they have her her propped up and then they
Speaker 3: have a bench press over her face like she's about
Speaker 3: to just do a big old lift.
Speaker 1: I can't decide if this idea is is more charming
Speaker 1: or horrifying. I keep going back and forth.
Speaker 2: Right, I agree, Is it like like you want to
Speaker 2: see him more like like he lived? Or I guess
Speaker 2: that could be charming ish or it's horrifying.
Speaker 1: Yeah. You know. One thing that I'm in favor of
Speaker 1: is like for an obituary or a memorial service or
Speaker 1: something like that. I don't like it when they have
Speaker 1: like the most recent picture when the person is ancient,
Speaker 1: because as anybody past the age of fifty especially can
Speaker 1: tell you in your heart your soul, who you are
Speaker 1: is your young self and you just have aches and
Speaker 1: pains and more memories and a little more wisdom and
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. But the old dude is kind
Speaker 1: of a stranger, Like, how the hell did that happen?
Speaker 1: So I just when they were youngest, vital, most vital, energetic,
Speaker 1: when they were forming who they are. Give me that picture.
Speaker 2: Yeah, New York Times is good at that. They use
Speaker 2: you and your prime picture for all their obituaries of
Speaker 2: famous people, like I see them every Sunday in the
Speaker 2: New York Times book Review whatever author died, and they
Speaker 2: have their when they were, you know, a hot sexy
Speaker 2: woman or a cool young guy or whatever. Whenever they
Speaker 2: were that had so much to do with the things
Speaker 2: you wrote, not like just an old person. Yeah, the
Speaker 2: time of their life. Yeah, they look back on fondly. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and they probably became famous for now we're not talking
Speaker 2: just about famous people, but like in yeah, and just
Speaker 2: for everybody. I agree.
Speaker 1: Now, I've kind of been a doey dip from age
Speaker 1: twelve through the grave, so it would be easier for me.
Speaker 1: But yes, yeah, I was.
Speaker 2: Gonna say, what what point do I get to choose
Speaker 2: ahead of time?
Speaker 1: What point?
Speaker 2: Because like, you know, we'll pick him a when was
Speaker 2: he young and vital high school. Here's a good high
Speaker 2: school picture. No want young but not vital. Let's keep looking.
Speaker 3: I'm writing down my new favorite slam a doe dip.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. You're right a doey dip. Aren't you.
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 4: For my funeral, I'm gonna do radio stuff. I'm gonna
Speaker 4: have open casket with me sitting up with headphones on
Speaker 4: my head holding up three fingers.
Speaker 3: Exactly counting us down, and a lot of Jack and
Speaker 3: Joe there screaming at you.
Speaker 2: And then oh, oh.
Speaker 4: Hey hey, and then you can donate money to pay
Speaker 4: any FCC fines.
Speaker 2: So we did. We would say, I don't know why
Speaker 2: we're assuming we'll go outlive you because I don't think
Speaker 2: we are.
Speaker 1: We would be.
Speaker 2: There, they'd say, and just where's the clip, Michael, Just
Speaker 2: for old time's sake, that would be great?
