There are 37 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 3: a couple of Oh, stay tuned. In just a few minutes, 38 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 3: I'll reveal to you who will be running for president 39 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty eight on both. 40 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: Sides, Yes, I do so, stay tuned. Is Trump beautiful? 41 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 3: But it's just absolutely beyond question that the Democratic Party 42 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 3: is in hell of a state. They don't know who 43 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 3: they are, they don't know who to follow. For a 44 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 3: third time, I don't know if the nation can handle that. 45 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 3: The three peat? Good lord, what a nightmare, that would be, 46 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 3: but they are their leader. Listen Rudderless. The only energy 47 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 3: in the party is the Bernie aoc wing, which is ridiculous. 48 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 3: They're running away from a lot of the policies that 49 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 3: again have provided the energy. Defund the police, dei, anti white, 50 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 3: anti mail, the rest of it. They're in a hell 51 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 3: of a state. So a couple of things. Number one, 52 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 3: this from the New York Times. Six months later. Democrats 53 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 3: are still searching for the path forward, and they talk 54 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 3: to a variety of experts, including this one gal who 55 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 3: runs focus groups, which may be one of my least 56 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: favorite aspects of modern society. That leaf blowers, focus groups 57 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,839 Speaker 3: and leaf bears both horrible. God, I got my son 58 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 3: started on this now the other. 59 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: But but what was one of the morning's beautiful day 60 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: We're sitting out in the backyard, the palm tree in 61 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: the pool, and it couldn't be it's like a resort, beautiful. 62 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 1: It couldn't be leaf blower down the street, right, And 63 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: so like fifteen houses have to be subjected to this. 64 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: And I always want to say, I just want to say, 65 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: if you turn that off, I can't hear you can 66 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: speak up. If you turn that off so I can 67 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: enjoy the piece and quiet. I'll come over and rake 68 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: your leaves. It'll take me like twenty minutes. I'll come 69 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: out and rank your leaves later. I love you. Watch this. 70 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: The guy standing there, got one leaf on the lawn. 71 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: Just looking at that leaf. 72 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 3: He's gonna stand there and they will read that things 73 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 3: one stage. 74 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: To get that one. 75 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 3: He could bend over and pick it up. He could 76 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 3: rake it, he could kick it. He could do but no, 77 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 3: but no, he's gonna stand there with his freaking blower. 78 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 3: Is there anything in society so ubiquitous and so ubiquitously 79 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 3: hate it as the leaf blower? I despise them. You 80 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 3: know it'll never get done. But in our just in 81 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 3: our neighborhood, our development, two days a week, even three 82 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 3: days a week, I'll settle. I'll start it to I'll 83 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 3: settle for three three days a week. You can freaking 84 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 3: blow leaves all right. The other four days. 85 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: No, or everybody time the gardeners the same day, which 86 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: would be roughly what you're doing. But it seems like 87 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: now people go out of their way to time it. 88 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: Let's make sure there's a leaf blower going on one 89 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: of these houses every day, right, and like, and. 90 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 3: You've got an hour shift, You've got eight to nine am. Mondays, 91 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 3: all right, let's take it nine to ten am on Monday. 92 00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: Who's okay? Excellent? 93 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I know it's just a scene. So anyway, 94 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 3: this woman does not run a leafblower. She runs focus groups, 95 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 3: and after about two hundred and fifty of them of 96 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 3: swing voters, some patterns have emerged. She likes to ask 97 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 3: the folks to compare the major parties to animals. What 98 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 3: animal is the Republican Party? Most like, how about the Democrats? 99 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: And she said Republicans are seen as apex predators like lions, 100 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 3: tigers and sharks, beasts that take what they want when 101 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 3: they wanted. Democrats are typically tagged as tortoises, slugs or sloths, slow, plotting, 102 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 3: and passive. One guy said, yeah, more like a deer 103 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 3: in the headlights. But I thought that was an interesting 104 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 3: method of trying to figure out what was going on. 105 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: But it goes on and on, various study groups and 106 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: experts and. 107 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 3: All trying to figure out why the Democratic Party is 108 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 3: so lost. 109 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: Yes, Democrats got to be a scavenger of some sort. 110 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: You're eating off of something that somebody else hunted and killed. Wow, 111 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: that's a good one. Yeah. 112 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 3: Well, and they talk about the trends of working class folks, men, 113 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 3: white people, whatever, going away from the Democratic Party and 114 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 3: it becoming just a cluster of hyper educated women and 115 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,679 Speaker 3: in a way that I think we've all noticed, fear 116 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 3: and anxiety. There's one more thing I wanted to mention, Oh, 117 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 3: the gender gap. It's swinging more and more in the 118 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 3: favor of Republicans. 119 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: For your ideological. 120 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 3: Debates over policies, whether to push for a stricter stand 121 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,239 Speaker 3: on immigration, defend transgender rights less forcefully, or embrace anti 122 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 3: corporate populism, are already playing out on Capitol Hill, et cetera. 123 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: So they just they have no idea what they're doing. 124 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 3: They're gathering at luxury hotels and spending tons of money 125 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 3: trying to figure out how to win back working class voters. Oh, 126 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 3: here it is. I knew there was one more thing. 127 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 3: And one of the things that they're pitching, I'll tell 128 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 3: you how it get back working class voters.

We will carve up your body 133 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 3: and turn you into a boy. Keep preaching that anyway. 134 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 3: So various people were pitching various projects. One was a 135 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 3: new twenty million dollar effort aimed to have reversed the 136 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 3: erosion of democratic support among young men, especially online. It 137 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 3: is coded code named SAM, short for Speaking with American Men, 138 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 3: a strategic plan and promises investment to quote study the syntax, 139 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 3: language and content that gains attention and virality in these spaces. 140 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds like a lot of fancy words and 141 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: smart people who couldn't pick up on young men don't 142 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: dig the whole trans restrooms thing or constantly being blamed 143 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: for everything that's wrong. 144 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 3: Ah, they do mentioned quote above all. We must shift 145 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 3: from a moralizing tone, no way. Yeah, browbeating people constantly 146 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 3: that they're bad unless they go along with your ridiculous 147 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 3: radical ideology. 148 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. 149 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that tends to piss people off.

Wow, 170 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: just let me know when you're done. 171 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 3: I'll continue on with some solid analysis America's electoral politics. 172 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 4: Uh. 173 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 3: He he called the party's brand toxic and weak and woke. 174 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly right. 175 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 3: He'll be the headliner at a September fish fry for 176 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 3: Democrats in Iowa. 177 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: I'd be rooting for him. He must really like Iowa fish. 178 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: I hope he runs at the very least in the 179 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: nomination fight to take on you know, Gavin Newsom in 180 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: his crap. 181 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 3: So it's gonna be Rama Manuel versus. And I'm less 182 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 3: certain about this one. Marco Rubio, who I believe will 183 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 3: be more appealing to the American people than JD. Vans 184 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 3: because the band is my prediction. People mark my words, 185 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 3: mark them. People can't vote for a president with a beard. 186 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: Uh No. 187 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 3: I think the beard's fine, and the whole mangled finger 188 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 3: is also fine. It's it's a question of policy and 189 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 3: connecting with people. 190 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: But it would be got Cham. 191 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 3: I'm not freaking Gavin, although watching him torn apart by 192 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 3: the electorate and the media will be great fun. 193 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: So there's a big Supreme Court breaking news story right now. 194 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: We're headed into the time of the year, you know, 195 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: in June, where they announce all their big cases and 196 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: then run out the door so nobody can ask him 197 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: any questions. But we've we've got one ruling that has 198 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: come down today. I want to get back into Russia, Ukraine. 199 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: At some point Wall Street Journal editorye with the big statement, 200 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham with a major statement about it. And this 201 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: could be a turning point in the whole war. Lots 202 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: of stuff to talk about. Hope you can stay here. 203 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 5: Video of President McCaw and his wife Brigitte pushing his 204 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 5: face as they land in Vietnam is going viral. Later, 205 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 5: mccaorn appears to offer his arm, but Francis first Lady 206 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 5: wants to hold the railing instead. The ADZ Palace initially 207 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 5: denied anything unusual had happened, calling it a moment of 208 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 5: togetherness and playful teasing in a statement. 209 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: See I bought that originally when I watched the video 210 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: the door opens on the plane. You got the President 211 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: of France, McCrone getting shoved in the face by his wife, 212 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: and you see it, and then he sees that the 213 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: doors open the cameras on a big smile. I originally 214 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 1: bought the idea because I've known people who are like that. 215 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: I've not been in that relationship, but I've known people 216 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: who like she might playfully push him like that. Sure, yeah, 217 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: and it's no big deal. The fact that he offered 218 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: her his arm as they headed down the stairs, and 219 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: she just stared straight ahead and didn't take it. That 220 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: means that was not some sort of playful push. They 221 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: were actually having an argument. 222 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 3: To me body language segment, Yeah, absolutely true. 223 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: I watched it. I had no doubt. Yeah, she was pissed. 224 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: She has pissed off at him. Yeah, how very French 225 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: of him surrender to his old wife. Anyway, this headline 226 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: last week, I was worried about reading. It turned out 227 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: to be a nothing jurors a ditty trial, learn of 228 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: the disgusting way he likes his burgers. Ex employs testify, 229 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: and given everything that has come out of the ditty trial, 230 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: I thought, oh my god, what does he put on 231 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: his burgers? What does he make people do? And then 232 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: the the Levins, I thought this is gonna be this 233 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: is gonna be so gross. But no, he likes apple 234 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: sauce on his burgers, which is kind of weird and 235 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: I've never heard of that. I wouldn't call it. Given 236 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: the context of the trial and some really disgusting things 237 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: that are happening, I wouldn't. 238 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 3: Call it a smon beating rapist. That's the The apple 239 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 3: sauce is not the disgusting poll. 240 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 1: On their yurinination has played a role. I mean, there's 241 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: all lots of disgusting things in this trial. Apple sauce 242 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: in your burgers doesn't count as disgusting in that context. 243 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: It's odd. I haven't tried it. I'm not like it. 244 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: Also breaking news last week, the penny is finally going 245 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: away sometime next year. The penny they will make the 246 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: last penny at the us Men. The us Men has 247 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: placed its final order for penny blanks will stop producing 248 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: the coin when those run out early next year, marking 249 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 1: the beginning of the end of the oldest continually printed 250 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: money piece in America, the Treasury announced last week. I 251 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: just think this is such a good example of why 252 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: can only Trump do some things like this? Why is that. 253 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 3: He just lacks everybody else's tendency toward inertia. Inertia plays 254 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 3: a huge role in government. You know, we've talked about it. 255 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 3: You start a program, it's forever. But we start a bureaucracy. 256 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 3: All it does is grow. 257 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: But whether it's something important, like now, Jerusalem is a 258 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: capital of Israel. Everybody treats that's in the capitol. From 259 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: now on, it's the capital. Whether it's that that every 260 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: president in my lifetime has said they were gonna do 261 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: but didn't because focus groups are think tanks or whatever. 262 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: He doesn't. And then the penny, which is not important, 263 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: but just everybody's talked about it. But what are you 264 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: afraid you'd be blamed by history or something. I don't know. 265 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 3: It just seems so crazy to me, or that, you know, 266 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 3: commerce would come to a halt or something. It's absurd 267 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 3: when you think about it. I mean, because way back 268 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 3: in the day in England they had the haypenny frequently 269 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 3: or probably featured in the Christmas is Coming the Goose 270 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 3: is Getting Fat song, know that one. There's no hay 271 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 3: penny anymore. You know why, because that's an absurdly small 272 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 3: denomination of money. Given the current value of the pound 273 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 3: or the dollar in this. 274 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: Case, there's no reason for it. Likewise, the penny. 275 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 3: If the penny existed when a dollar could buy you 276 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 3: a horse, the penny. 277 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: Should not exist. 278 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 3: Now. 279 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: It's an absurdly small denomination, sure, obviously, and has been 280 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: for quite some time. And then with the most recent 281 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: inflation it just took it to the next level. Plus 282 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: you got the fact that it costs three cents to 283 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: make a penny, which is dumb. It makes it costs 284 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: like seven cents to make a nickel. There's talk of 285 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: doing away with the nickel. I don't know, yeah, boy, 286 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: nickels probably what a penny was not that long ago. 287 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 3: If you were to start right now and say to people, 288 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 3: all right, here's what you can buy for a dollar, 289 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 3: you know, various examples of it, and it wouldn't be much, 290 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 3: and said, the smallest increment we're going to have is 291 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 3: a tenth of a dollar. 292 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: So what can it dollar buy? It like a candy bar? 293 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 3: Maybe? 294 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't often have a dollar in my mitt 295 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: looking to buy something, So I don't know if I 296 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: go to the dollar store a fair amount because my 297 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: son really likes him. So give me, give me an example. 298 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: What can you buy for a dollar? A variety of cheap, plastic, 299 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: crappy things that are worth while. 300 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 3: Ye, So the smallest denomination we're gonna have is one 301 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 3: tenth of what it takes to buy a cheap, crappy 302 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 3: plastic whatever. People will say, Yeah, that's that's plenty small, 303 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 3: that's plenty fine enough. 304 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, the dime is where, Yeah, the dime should probably 305 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: be the smallest denomination, and we actually do okay on 306 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: the dime in terms of it's about a break even 307 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: of what it costs to make a dime, right. And 308 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: I was shocked the other day. 309 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 3: I did an inflation calculator from I think was the 310 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 3: eighties to the present day, and it was I don't 311 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 3: remember the number, and I don't want to mislead, but 312 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 3: it was multiples. It was not like, wow, this is 313 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,359 Speaker 3: a third or less everybody's more expensive. No, it's like quadruple. 314 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: Everybody should do that to have a really realistic view 315 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: of what your salary is or what your house costs 316 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: or whatever, compared to like when you were a kid 317 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 1: and aware of those things. 318 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 3: It's shocking coming up some impactful, important stories about the world. Plus, 319 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 3: is it better to shower in the morning or at night? 320 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 3: There is a clear answer from science. Okay, Well, that 321 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 3: was us MIT talk. We'll see you next two day. 322 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty. 323 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 6: Of US high school students reported feeling sad or hopeless 324 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 6: in twenty twenty three, and twenty percent had seriously considered 325 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 6: attempting suicide. 326 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: I appreciated that Meet the Press on Sunday did not 327 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: go with the usual news of the day, particularly around 328 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. They went with the crisis that we've talked 329 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: about a lot and should be treated like a crisis, 330 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: that people are lonelier than ever, young people are killing 331 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: themselves and taking medications to deal with anxiety, and all 332 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: of the blah blah blah. We know all this stuff 333 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: as being like a lead story, which it is should 334 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: be a lead story, the lead story every week. B 335 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: this is what Trump did yesterday for the cynical about 336 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: these people. 337 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 3: I wonder whether they're doing that for the right reason 338 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 3: or if their ratings are just dropping off with never 339 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 3: ending Trump hysteria. But anyway, back to the very very 340 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 3: important topic. 341 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: Let's hear a little more from Christian Walker of Meet 342 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: the Press laying out some of the facts here. 343 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 6: The mental health crisis in America is impacting young people 344 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 6: in profound ways, and public health officials say it is 345 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,719 Speaker 6: an emergency. Two thirds of gen z report feelings of loneliness, 346 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 6: and half of young adults report symptoms of anxiety and depression. 347 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 6: Youth suicide rates are climbing. It is now one of 348 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 6: the leading causes of death in adolescents and young adults. 349 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 6: Almost one in five young adults report rarely or never 350 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 6: receiving the social support they need. In our super connected times, 351 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 6: over fifty five million US adults report frequent loneliness. The 352 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 6: smartphones and social media apps that connect us to the 353 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 6: world are also accelerating the crisis. 354 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, we all know that. That's one thing about this story. 355 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: I feel like every single time we quickly get to smartphones, 356 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: social media and everybody's aware of this already, there's a 357 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: lot like there's not like the next sentence or the 358 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: next whatever comes after that. So we should what make it? 359 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: Have Superman fly around the world where really fast and 360 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: turn back time to be four smartphones. If that were possible, 361 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: I'd be all for it. 362 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 3: Right, I'm trying to remember there was a great phrase 363 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 3: by Caitlin Flanagan I think who wrote that we're drowning 364 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 3: in the stuff. 365 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: It's killing us, but we like it under the water. Ahh, 366 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: that's pretty good. Yeah, that's pretty good. Now, combining a 367 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: couple of things that are related and not related, I guess. 368 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: So this Netflix show Adolescence that's getting a tremendous amount 369 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 1: of attention. It's already got one hundred and fourteen million views, 370 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: which is a lot compared to like regular TV shows, 371 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 1: it's based on a horrifying story of a middle schooler 372 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: boy who murdered his classmate girl. And one of the 373 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: reasons it's getting a fair amount of attention by The 374 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: New York Times, and Gavin Newsom talked about how he 375 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: had to turn it off was horrifying, is because they 376 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: present a lot of it as right wing, toxic masculinity 377 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: that is caught on on social media and the Tate 378 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: Brothers and that sort of stuff. But and it goes 379 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: too far. All of that stuff is true, but it 380 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: leaves out, you know, there's plenty on all sides of 381 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: what's wrong with social media and what it's doing to 382 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: people and their worldviews, especially young men. And then this 383 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: story worry that also fits into what I think is 384 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: this thing it became a TikTok craze, but the I 385 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: think there's a lot of truth in it. It's the 386 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: idea of men calling each other at night and saying, hey, 387 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: just want to say good night to you. You know 388 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: you're a good friend, and saying good night. And I 389 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: thought that's because that's a thing that usually gets taken 390 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: care of by having a girlfriend or wife or boyfriend 391 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: or husband if you're gay, but you you have a 392 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: relationship of somebody that's going to text you goodnight, call 393 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: you good night, or is in bed next to you, 394 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: and so many people don't. Now it was kind of 395 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,959 Speaker 1: presented as like a joke, but I could see how 396 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: that could be a thing. I'm not going to do it, 397 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: but I could see how that could be a thing 398 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: because you're lacking that in your life. Nobody at the 399 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: end of the day that says, yeah, I'm thinking about you, goodnight, 400 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: miss you, something like that. Yeah. 401 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, these are all very troubling elements. Right right, I'm 402 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 3: struck by and I'm trying to find the right words. 403 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 3: How much of this stuff is antiseptic is the closest 404 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 3: I'm getting. What I'm what I'm driving at is online interaction, 405 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 3: including everything that we've described so far. 406 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: And you're gonna make fun of this, but go ahead. 407 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 3: First they laugh at you, then they laugh at you more, 408 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 3: then they really really laugh at you, but then they Hailey, 409 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 3: who's a genius. I think that's how it ends anyway, 410 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 3: an online relationship, porn, social media, online quote unquote friends. 411 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 3: I remember railing about the term friends. Yeah, when Facebook 412 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 3: first caught on, I was ahead of my time. 413 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right about that. The Yeah, the porn chick 414 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: you're looking at is not going to text you miss 415 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: you good night at the end of the day. 416 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 3: But here's what just dawned on me is you're going 417 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 3: through these things, all of those quote unquote relationships or 418 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 3: being with those people. They have no smell, they have 419 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 3: no taste, they have no feelings, physical sensation until the 420 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 3: love bots come along and the rest of it. They 421 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 3: are incredibly antiseptic, and they lack all of the like downside. 422 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 3: All right, So you're with a girl, maybe she's got 423 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 3: bad breath. Porn doesn't have bad breath, for instance. 424 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 1: It all is so. 425 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 3: Lacking in the rough and tumble of real life that 426 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 3: I think people can no longer tolerate the rough and 427 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 3: tumble of real life of a lover who's occasionally insensitive 428 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 3: or has bad breath or is sweating from the gym 429 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 3: or whatever, and friends who annoy you and stuff. 430 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 4: Don't know. 431 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if those are the examples that are 432 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: keeping people. I think it's the but it's easy, it's 433 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: all so, I think it's the emotional effort is a 434 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: is a problem. If if if there's a crowd out there, 435 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: and we know that it's true. I've seen this with 436 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: my own eyes, and it horrifies me. They like draw 437 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: straws to see who's going to call to order the 438 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: pizza because it's so intimidating that crowd's not going to 439 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: ask somebody out and make the emotional risk that is 440 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: getting into her relationship. I mean, I think pretty clearly true. 441 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 3: Or fight through the inevitable part of the relationship where 442 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 3: you realize, Okay, this person is fully human and has 443 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 3: flaws and annoys me at times, and there are. 444 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes we're going to have to do stuff that they 445 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: want to do and not just stuff I want to do. 446 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: I think that's a big part of it. To go 447 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: back a second, and I don't want to get a 448 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: hung up on this, because the point is not any 449 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: of this. The whole point is not any of the 450 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: sex stuff. But apparently because I've read about this, I 451 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: think I was out in the New York Post. You can, 452 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: like a lot of these OnlyFans women, you can get 453 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: some sort of set up with them where they text 454 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: you throughout the day how's your day going, and text 455 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: you at night to fulfill that particular desire. That desire 456 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: is strong enough that dudes are not doing it with 457 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: each other, at least according to a TikTok trend. You know, 458 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: just thinking to you good night, you can pay somebody 459 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 1: to do that. How would that look? I can't imagine 460 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: getting any satisfaction from that whatsoever. Hey, you've got to 461 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: delude yourself. You'd have to delude yourself. The person I'm 462 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: paying just texted me to say good night. Hi, good 463 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: night everybody. John Fetterman, he's mine. Yeah, uh god, that 464 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 1: is horrifying. But I had another prink. Oh. So, the 465 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: lead on Meet the Press was the Surgeon General saying 466 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 1: a while back that we have a loneliness epidemic. It's 467 00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: cutting years off people's lives. It's a leading killer because 468 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: because because it's all kinds of different problems. So do 469 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: you think it's just flat loneliness because of all the 470 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: stuff where you've just described. 471 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think it's a it's a vicious circle 472 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 3: of loneliness for the reasons we've been discussing. You have 473 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 3: this antiseptic uh simulacrum, a faux relationship with various people 474 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 3: from you know, and that you have your OnlyFans, girl, 475 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 3: texts you thinking of you. 476 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: And then you begin to think. 477 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's the stripper saying, oh you're handsome 478 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 3: on steroids, and people are primed to actually believe it. 479 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 3: It's like, you know, falling in love with a damn robot. 480 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 3: It's it's it's it's awful. 481 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: God. I would say so if we're at the loneliness 482 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: epidemic right when AI is taking off, and like only 483 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: Fans has only been around for a few years, it 484 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: just seems like the timing is the cures are coming. Cures. 485 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: I guess I'll use my finger quote because it's not 486 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: curing the underlying problem, but the the ointment or the 487 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: sav for the problem. 488 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 3: They're getting they're getting better. Yeah, the band aids over 489 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 3: the gaping wound are getting better. That's the metaphor I 490 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 3: would go with.

Yeah, I 543 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: guess the loneliness epidemic, which is well Joe. Joe always 544 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: said we're doomed, so there's no point in going on 545 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: with the conversation. Humanity is doomed. I think he's right. 546 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: We love it here under the water. That's the problem. Wow. Yeah, 547 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: they didn't really have any answers on meet the press either, 548 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: as they went through all that stuff of social media 549 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: and phones and lack of connection and blah blah blah 550 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: and all these different sorts of things. Uh, they didn't. 551 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 3: They didn't really have an answer. Turn the effing thing off, 552 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 3: leave it behind. People aren't gonna do that though. Hang 553 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 3: out with your friends, that's not gonna happen. 554 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: And you know it. People. 555 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 3: I'm not concerned with people, Jack, I'm not concerned with 556 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 3: solving the problem. 557 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: Quote unquote. 558 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 3: I'm throwing starfish back in the water. If I listen 559 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 3: to me and one other person does, that's great. I 560 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 3: can't save society, forget it. 561 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: It's doomed. I just want to save as many people 562 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: as I can, including me and the people I love. 563 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: We got like two generations left, and there'll be no 564 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: more human beings. On earth Land of the Beavers. Yeah 565 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: and thoughts. Text line is four one, five two nine 566 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: five kftc. 567 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 2: An overturned truck covered a Texas highway an eight million dime, 568 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 2: sparking a wild frenzy of drivers picking up like three 569 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 2: dimes and saying, this is actually hard. 570 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: Let's just go. 571 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 3: The dimes should be the smallest denomination of American coinage 572 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 3: that has been decided. 573 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: Surprising number of texts from your teas of is it 574 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: better to shower in the morning or at night? Hmmm? 575 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: I would like to know the answer according to science, Yes, 576 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: I've I was always a morning guy. I have become 577 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: a night guy. I shower at night. Yeah, well I 578 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: stay too. If you work out during the day, what 579 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: are you going to get in You're gonna get into 580 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: bed with your sweaty body. 581 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 3: Grows you shower again, play golf, workout, whatever, double shower. Yeah, absolutely, 582 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 3: So it's the question is. 583 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: Long better debate? Better shower in the morning or night. 584 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 3: Of course, morning shower enthusiasts say that's the obvious winner. 585 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 3: It helps you wake up start the day fresh, Absolutely true. 586 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 3: Night shower loyalists, on the other hand, will argue it's 587 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 3: better to wash the day away and relax before bed. 588 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: You get into bed nice and clean. Yeah, I don't 589 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: like into getting into bed not clean. Also, you know, 590 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: getting back to our previous conversation, I got no companionship 591 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: and that plays a role. I would be showering more 592 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: often if I did well. 593 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 3: The microbiologist who wrote this says, there is actually a 594 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 3: clear answer to the question. This part is really interesting, 595 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 3: and their perspective is mostly about body odor. Many of 596 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 3: us think body odor is caused by sweat. It is 597 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 3: kind of indirectly, but it's actually produced by bacteria that 598 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 3: live on the surface of the skin. Fresh sweat is odorless, 599 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 3: but skin dwelling bacteria, specifically staphlocaci, use sweat as a 600 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 3: direct nutrition source. When they bring down the sweat, it 601 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 3: releases as a sulfur compaining containing compound, which is behind 602 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 3: pungent boh. 603 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: Finding this very gross, I think I almost never have 604 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: the body odor. I shower enough to avoid that. 605 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 3: So during the day, your body and hair inevitably collect 606 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 3: pollutants and allergens, dust pollens that are alongside the usual 607 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 3: accumulation of sweat and sebaceous oil. While some of these 608 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 3: particles will be retained by your clothes, others will inevitably 609 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 3: be transferred to your sheets and pillow cases. 610 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: I don't want that. 611 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 3: The sweat and oil from your skin will support the 612 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 3: growth of bacteria that comprise your skin microbiome. They can 613 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 3: be transferred onto your sheets. So showering at night may 614 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 3: remove some of the allergen sweat and oil picked up 615 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 3: during the day, so less ends up on your bed sheets. However, 616 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 3: even if you're freshly showered before bed, you still sweat 617 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 3: during the night, whatever the temperature. Your skin microbes will 618 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 3: then eat the nutrients in the sweat, and you know 619 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 3: what that means. By the morning, you'll have both deposited 620 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,479 Speaker 3: microbes onto your bed sheets and you'll probably wake up 621 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 3: with some boh all right, And what particularly negates the 622 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 3: cleaning benefits of the night's showers If your bedding is 623 00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 3: not laundered regularly, the odor causing micro present your bed 624 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 3: sheets may be transferred while you sleep under your clean body. 625 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 3: So I'll cut to the chase, because this is long. 626 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 3: Morning showers help remove dead skin cells as well as 627 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,240 Speaker 3: any sweater bacteria you've picked up from your bed sheets 628 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,959 Speaker 3: during the night. Especially important if your bed sheets aren't 629 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 3: freshly washed when you went to bed. This microbiologist says, 630 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,800 Speaker 3: clear winter morning showers. 631 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, good for you. I'm in a shower at night, 632 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: rejecting science. Mm, rejecting that scientist. 633 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 3: You're like the priests who tortured Galileo or poisoned him 634 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 3: or punched him in the face. 635 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: I don't remember. You would have kicked Copernicus out of 636 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 1: the temple as you reject you know, you know what 637 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 1: I noticed coming out of my three week sickness. But 638 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: usually when you're sick, it's like a week or something 639 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: like that. Usually when I'm sick, I get into a 640 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: habit of like not doing my normal stuff, and so 641 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 1: like the bed sheets are all there's tissues everywhere. My 642 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 1: room is not just when you're sick. And then finally, 643 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: when I'm done being sick, it's like, okay, let's get 644 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 1: back to real life. Let's wash all the sheets, throw 645 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: all the stuff away, let's get everything straightened out again. 646 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, so true. Yeah, Okay, So anyway, shower 647 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 3: whenever they you want. Sarson who sleeps in socks? So 648 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,720 Speaker 3: why would anybody take like a cycle path? Why wouldn't 649 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 3: anybody take any advice from you? Tell you what, there's 650 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 3: a fire, burglary. I throw my shoes on, which are 651 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,439 Speaker 3: right next to the bed, next to my gun, my eyeglasses, 652 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 3: and I'm ready to go. Somedights, I sleep in a 653 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 3: track suit if I think, you know, there could be 654 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 3: action tonight. Gotta be ready. 655 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: Like a guy I knew in high school on the 656 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: wrestling team. He would put on his socks and shoes first.
