WEBVTT - The A&G Replay Friday Hour Four 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:14.200 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:18.360 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Catty. 0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:28.640 Arm Strong and Getty and He Armstrong and Catty Strong. Hey, 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:31.160 we're arm Strong and Getty. We're featuring our podcast One 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:34.160 more Thing. Find it wherever you find all your podcasts. 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:37.519 I was fascinated by that python farm story the other day. 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:39.920 I actually dug into that, did a little reading, you know, 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:44.000 because pythons are big and giant and meaty and and 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.960 they're like super efficient with the way they turn calories 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:52.120 into muscle mass, and they taste like chicken. 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.319 I got a question about that, but when I get 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:56.000 to the cannibalisma, I'll I'll hit you with that. 0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.560 All right, all right, fair enough. So after the show, 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:04.000 before we started recording this, Hanson replayed a clip of 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:07.600 me saying something rather dry about Jack, and Jack commented, 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.320 that's a very I'm just Diane thing to say. And 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.759 I was reminded of a longtime listener to the show 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:19.480 and hilarious tweeter I'm just Diane, and I went digging 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.240 into our twitter feed. She doesn't tweet as much as 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:25.119 she used to, I think, which is a shame for humanity. 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:26.960 But she's had grown up with a job now and 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.160 it's not easy. You should follow her, Katie, if you've 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.200 never checked out, I'm just Diane on I am on 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:34.120 her now. She is a listener we became aware of 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:35.760 a long time ago. And she's very funny. 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:39.160 Okay, Yeah. Her pinned tweet is I'd rather go home 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:43.840 than go big, which I agree with. How perfect is that? 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.880 And then somebody tweeted the the Nancy Pelosi this is 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.200 not an attempt to ban TikTok, It's an attempt to 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.520 make TikTok better. Tic tac toe a winner, a winner. 0:01:53.800 --> 0:02:00.600 Her comment has simply nailed it. Oh boy, man, I 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:04.120 love understatement. I don't know about the phone. I think 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.320 that's hilarious. Oh looking forward to the day my new 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:15.800 phone stops autocorrecting, vaping to raping. Oh boy. 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.160 Her best stuff is how much she hates her job 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:24.840 and her coworkers. But that's a different topic. So New 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.720 Scientists is a real science outfit, and they're trying to 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:32.560 take another look at cannibalism, and they mention these bones 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.600 that were found in a cave in southwest England which 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.000 beared all the marks of cannibalism. It was pretty clear 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.000 that cannibalism was going on their teeth, marks on the 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:42.880 bones and the way. 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:44.880 I won't get into details. It's pretty gross. 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:49.560 But and this was fourteen, seven hundred years ago that 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:54.040 they were practicing cannibalism there in England. To Protein's protein baby, 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.320 that's what I say today, they write in New Scientists. Today, 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.519 cannibalism is a taboo subject in many societies. We see 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.160 it as aberrant, as a clear in film such as 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.680 the Texas Chainsaw massacre. We associate it with zombies, psychopaths, 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:10.560 and serial killers like hannibal Lecter. Positive stories about cannibals 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:11.720 are few and far between. 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:13.680 I would agree with you there, I haven't heard one 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:14.000 of those. 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:20.560 Wait, what a child's book about cannibalism? Or Jimmy is 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.280 a good guy, liked to golf, he treated his family well, 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:24.239 and he was a cannibal. 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:26.280 He'll be missed. 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.880 But perhaps it's time for a rethink because despite our preconceptions, 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.520 evidence is accumulating that cannibalism was a common human behavior. 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:39.960 Our ancestors have been eating each other for a million 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:40.640 years or more. 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:44.000 In fact, so was torture for years. In the years 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.880 for centuries. But that doesn't mean we should reconsider it. 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.400 What a bizarre story this is. 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.680 In fact, it seems that down the ages, around a 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:56.800 fifth of societies have practiced cannibalism. While some of these people, 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.520 while some of this people eating, may have been simply survive. 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.720 In many cases, the reasons look more complex. In places 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:07.640 like this cave in southern England, for example, consuming bodies 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.520 of the dead seems to have been part of a 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.160 funerary ritual, something they did when people died. Far from 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.080 a monstrous affront to nature, cannibalism may have been a 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.440 way of showing respect and love for the dead, say archaeologist. 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:24.080 No, uh yeah, no, no. 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.839 Whoever wrote this needs to be investigated. He's like trying 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:27.360 to sell this. 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:28.520 I don't like it right. 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:32.719 He's trying to soften a revelation that may occur someday 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:33.920 about the barrels in his. 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:40.600 Exactly exactly, he's trying to set the table cannibalism. We 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:42.160 need to reconsider it. 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.640 I just watched a horrible horror movie about cannibalism where 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:48.400 these guys invite a bunch of people over to their 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.960 house for a dinner party, and they're serving them the victims, 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:52.280 but they don't know it. 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.599 Will Jim ever watch episodes of Hannibal, the prequel to 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.520 Silence of the Lambs. Yes, Oh, my god, when he 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.440 would when he would sit down at the table in 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.880 his suit, with his fine wine and his beautiful home 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:06.360 and starts slicing off pieces of weather that he cooked up. 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.000 God, that was gross. Dinner table events. 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.160 Do you think because like you, you're so You're talking 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.599 the other day about the snakes and how that might 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.599 become a meat of the future, And I said, you 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.159 because the idea of eating a snake disgusts me. 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:22.960 There's something about eating a reptile that I find. And 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.600 I've had snake, I've had alligator, there are multiple I've 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.560 had it, but I don't want to it's gross. Alligator 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:33.400 was great. It's just fried me to say, that's all right, 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:41.200 But could could you eat human? No? No, that's repugnant, repulsive? Why, 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.600 I don't know. It's an instinctive horror, I think now, 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:51.760 the concept of it being a funerary ritual. Does anybody 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:55.000 have anything else they'd like to say about Jim? Okay, well, 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.479 then we're passing out knives and forks. If we could 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:58.920 all make our way to the cast. 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:00.839 Get. Yeah, I got more than to say about Jimmy 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:01.720 looks delicious. 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.600 Now that's some marbling. I mean, I know, I. 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.120 Know he didn't exercise much, but that is some delicious 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:08.000 looking marbling. 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:12.560 He's creating a nice rub for it. 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:16.039 Side sick. If you heard me, I think, did I 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:17.760 tell this on the air? I can't remember my favorite 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:21.720 joke now, which also takes place at a funeral. If 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:25.200 you've heard this before, forgive me, but it's short. Uh. 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.760 It's a funeral and uh, and people are talking about 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:33.159 the dearly departed, and the widow stands up and says, 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.320 is there anybody else who'd like to say a word? 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.039 The guy stands up, He said I would, and he 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:43.280 says plethora, and he sits down, and the widow says, 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.760 thank you, jim That means a lot to me. Yes, yes, 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:49.480 that is a good one. 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:49.839 I have. 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.200 Actually, you've told that before, and I wrote it down 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.200 to tell it to somebody else, and then I never did, 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:56.280 so thank you for reminding me. 0:06:56.320 --> 0:07:00.120 I pass it on again. Yes, the beauty of that 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.600 joke is you think the punch your line is that 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.920 he just says one worker. Yeah, there's a twist and 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:10.600 a twist. My love caught the twist. Well done, good, 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:14.040 good twist. That's funny. So back to cannibalism. 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:18.360 I'm guessing that we're designed to be disgusted by it 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.040 only because most of human history people have been starving. 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:22.600 And if you weren't disgusted by it, I mean, if 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.040 you if you thought of eating another human the same 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:26.760 way you thought of eating a cow, we would have. 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:27.640 All eaten each other. 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:31.040 I mean, just the strongest would have survived and eaten 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.840 each other, and the societies that didn't find it up 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.360 hurt and died out pretty quickly because of that. That'd 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:38.880 be my evolutionary guess. 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:44.720 Yeah, and we're just like an epidemiological reason why it's 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.600 a bad idea because obviously humans can catch human diseases, 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:47.920 but I don't. 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:49.960 I suppose that's possible, but you know, we've mostly been 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:53.840 starving throughout history. If you weren't disgusted by it, and like, 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.040 the only the only way you could possibly do it 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.240 is if you're you know, the Donner Party, and you're 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.240 all starving to death. And many of them didn't participate, 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:05.120 they went ahead and starved before they did it. If 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.360 it was okay with you, people would have turned to 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:08.920 that right away. 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:09.320 Yeah. 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:13.120 I hates Jim. We all hate Jim. Let's eat him. 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:18.200 I tell you what though, It's it's all about the 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.520 method of preparation, because like, I'm not going to have 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.720 human sushi or anything like that. That's too much. I'm 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.680 a medium rare guy, but I'm going well done on Jim. Yeah, 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.920 and I'm like, maybe he smoked all day, like a 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:34.120 long maybe jerky even I want it really click. Could 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:35.080 it be like a company. 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.200 Could it be like a sandwich or maybe like a 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:38.120 wrap or something. 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:42.240 So it's not just that, yeah, you know what I mean. 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.079 I don't want it like tender and falling off the femur. 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:49.120 I just say, oh, like a turkey leg you know, 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:50.199 you see it the. 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:56.360 Fair, small portions because I'm diabetic. That's right, You're at 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.200 the fair and you're eating a human legs. Got that 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:03.440 foot still see that's disgusting. That's my point. 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.200 So we'll see if this catches on and if New 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:10.160 Scientific is successful in their effort to I don't know, 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:11.640 mainstream cannibalism. 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.920 I guess you know what the world we're in right now, 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.559 it wouldn't shock me, right. 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:24.920 Right you, Jack, Armstrong and Joe The Armstrong. 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:33.360 And Getty Show. This is The Armstrong and Getty Show, 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.840 featuring our podcast One More Thing, Get it wherever you 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:37.960 like to get podcasts. 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.240 I've been familiar with next door for a long time, 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.920 but I'd never had the notifications on where I would 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:47.959 get where I would get the regular everything everybody posts? 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:53.440 Good God? Is that a smorgus board of unimportant? 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:54.400 It is? 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.400 Question? It is the forum of first world problems? 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:00.480 What it is? It's it's a combination of of like 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.880 first world problems that you really don't need to mention 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:06.599 out loud to anyone. 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.560 And uh, and like big problems. 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:13.079 That there are much better venues for finding the answer, 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.160 like my you know, my dad has got this disease. 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.120 My dad's got Parkinson. He happened to be president. Does 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.880 anybody recommend a good doctor? You going on next door 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:23.240 for that? 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:25.760 Is that your best place to try to figure out 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.000 these things? It just seems odd to me. 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:33.120 Yeah, I guess nobody ever responds, So I don't know 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.520 why everybody's fishing in this pond. I could see asking 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.480 for a recommendation of like a service provider or something 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.520 like that. I wouldn't ask what medicine do you think 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.600 you ought to take? Or anything like that, or you know. 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.240 A football is in my backyards, they may know it 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:48.720 belonged to That was one this morning. 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.440 Oh boy, I saw one the other day that somebody 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.920 took a picture off of a ring camera of a 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.160 kid that doorbell ditched them, and they posted the video 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:57.000 on next door, going. 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.079 Whose kid is this? Right? Right? 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:02.960 Lots of those, lots of did anybody just hear that 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.440 noise that happens like ten times a day? 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:08.719 And then various responses. I did too. 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.520 I thought it sounded like a gun. It didn't sound 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.800 like a gun. It sounded like more okay whatever. But 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:14.720 here's my favorite one from today that got me on 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:15.600 this very topic. 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:17.760 Here's another one. Somebody asking about shingles. 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.880 Find a medical professional or or web md or something 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:25.040 not next door that's talking about roof. 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:29.000 Depilating a nerve pain or exactly I'm talking about the disease. 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:33.120 Here's my favorite one. 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.080 Does anybody know what I should do with this crow? 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.840 It has a hurt wing. It lands between our houses. 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.280 I'm trying I'm trying to I'm trying to nurse it 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.560 back to health. It keeps hopping around, and I don't 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:51.240 know what to do with it. You gotta put the 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.520 whip to it. It's not trying hard enough. What should 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:55.079 I do with it? 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.679 Call it a sissy and tell it to try harder, right, exactly, 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.600 tell it. The Good Lord helps crows that help themselves. 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.600 Is like, is it like the new Google for your neighbors? 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.440 I don't understand why people are utilizing that. Well, all right, 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:10.280 that's what I'm saying. 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:15.360 You don't have Google or any of the other search 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.280 engines for figuring stuff out, or even TikTok or whatever 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:18.560 you do. 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.840 You go to the next door with the other eighty 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:27.480 year old. Nothing else to do is to answer your question. Yeah, yeah, 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:32.040 it's just I'm just shocked by And I've always wondered 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.400 this about when I didn't live in a neighborhood for 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.239 like twenty years. But now I'm in a neighborhood. 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:40.240 Every neighborhood I've ever lived in, pretty much, there are 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:41.839 quite a few houses. 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.200 Where you know who lives there. 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:44.840 Even if you don't know know them, you see them 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:46.960 on a regular basis, getting in their car, kid, coming 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.720 home on a bike, whatever. But there's always several houses 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:51.920 where you just never see anybody. 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:56.840 Yeah ever, ever, you never see anybody ever. Somebody lives there. 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:58.800 Lights get turned on at night, off in the morning, 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.280 and that must be the crowd that's on next door 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.040 asking about crows or medical questions or whatever. 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.600 It must be that you gotta go on next door 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.319 and say, hey, has anybody ever seen anybody come out 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:13.480 of the blue house on them? 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.680 Just start asking really weird questions on there, Jack, that'd 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:17.280 be perfect. 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.840 Hey, speaking of asking advice, I thought this was so 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.120 interesting and it makes sense in my head. See if 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:28.480 it does to you. It's new research out about getting advice, 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:32.120 asking for advice, that sort of thing, and this, Elizabeth 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.600 Bernstein writes, we tend to believe the best person for 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.199 support during a tough time will always be someone who's 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:41.959 been there before. Turns out that's wrong. New research shows 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.720 we make get better help from people who've been through 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:48.880 a significant challenge that's different from our own. Because social 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.520 scientists say this is because those who have been through 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:56.320 an unrelated challenge can empathize with our emotional pain, but 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.080 they won't assume they know what our experience is like 0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:04.000 or bring their own emotional baggage to the conversation. Oh, 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:07.760 hun's great, that is interesting. I think that one over. Meanwhile, 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:11.360 somebody who's quote unquote been there before sometimes talks more 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.280 than they listen. They may also give advice solely based 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.040 on their experience and forget that ours is going to 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.040 be different, and because they got already got over the problem, 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.600 they think we should too, and tend to minimize how 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:27.840 painful the situation is. My main advice with. 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.600 Big things that I've been through is usually having been 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:33.600 through this, don't listen to anybody's advice. 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.240 That's about my only advice on a number of big things. 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:43.240 Wow wow interesting. A cynical man or an experienced man, 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:51.000 Sometimes you don't know. Sometimes someone you don't know well 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.960 may have different life experiences that you can draw upon. 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.880 You never know what people know until you ask. 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.240 Well, like, that's the advice I give on my cancer experience, 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.120 because I've had a number of people ask me who 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:05.320 get cancer, and I say, don't take anybody's advice, because 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:09.840 everybody's situation is so incredibly different. I heard so many 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:11.920 things that turned out not to be true, and I've been 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:16.800 better off if I never asked. Everybody's situation is miles 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.520 apart and changes on a daily basis, so don't worry 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.320 about it. And child rearing while not the same as that, 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:26.720 because there are some truths to child wearing, definitely, but man, 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:30.040 there's a lot of I don't know, what are you 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:33.120 telling me this for when it comes to child wearing. Also, yeah, 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:33.520 a lot. 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.880 Of people are trying to express their own how do 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:40.240 I put this, work out their own issues or exhibit 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.760 their own egos or something, because kids are so different 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.120 and then the parents interaction with the kid is so different. 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.920 It's just, yeah, it's hard to normalize a lot of it. Yeah, 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.960 maybe the worst advice giver is somebody who's raised a kid, 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:57.320 because getting back to the beginning of this article, they're 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:01.120 completely convinced that their experience is universal. I'm not talking 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.160 about all of you that have had one child. Obviously 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:06.480 some of you have wisdom, but yeah, you'd exactly be 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.000 what she was describing. Yep, I because I've got that 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:12.320 situation and it ends up fine. If I just if I'd. 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:13.520 Only had one of them, I would think I was 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:15.760 the world's greatest parent and be willing to lay out 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:17.680 all kinds of advice and maybe write a book if 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:19.120 I don't lay out the other one, I would think 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:19.880 I'm a disaster. 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.600 Yeah, I heard that. So final note on this, which 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:30.359 I found interesting was the power of weak ties. Conversations 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.200 with people that you have weak ties with can be 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.480 surprisingly helpful. They don't know us well, they don't know 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:40.560 our faults. They're less likely to judge us or make 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.560 assumptions about our situation or something like that. I've had 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:47.240 many experiences like this. Are much more likely to be 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:54.280 a fellow, like a brainstormer, than a bestower of alleged wisdom. 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.480 They're much more likely to listen and toss out ideas 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:00.760 with you than try to lay the law down. 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:02.480 This is the guy sitting next to you at the 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:04.560 bar or the bus stop or whatever. 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:04.800 Yeah. 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:07.159 I've had this experience many times in my life, and 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:11.960 it works both directions. They don't have any particular agenda 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:13.000 because they don't know you. 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:15.359 And you don't. 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.080 They can say things that if somebody who did know 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.320 you said them, you'd get furiously angry. But because you 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:24.920 don't know them at all and have nothing invested, you 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:26.400 can just hear what damn to say. 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:32.280 Yeah. The power of weak ties thought provoking. Yeah, ask 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:35.800 a stranger, the armstrong and Getty show.

Yeah, right, exactly. Ah, yes, 0:18:55.840 --> 0:19:00.679 but this is a gal on a mission and Bloom 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:04.480 are crazy stalker psychobiac let's find out. Thirteen Michael. 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:06.560 I saw this really cute guy at the grocery store 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:08.760 the other day, so naturally, I followed him to the 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:12.200 checkout counter, and when he gave the cashier his credit card, 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.760 I peeped it to see what his name was, and 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:18.320 then I googled him and found his social media profiles, 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:20.600 and I was able to tell that he was single. 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.680 So I went through his friends list and I found 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.280 his mother's page, and then I looked through his mother's 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:28.359 page and I saw that she was a member of 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:30.720 this book club that's in my area. So I went 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:32.920 to the book club meeting and I met his mom 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.680 there and she just thought I was so nice, and 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:38.600 I brought it up randomly in conversation that I was single, 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:40.360 and she let me know that she had a son 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:42.679 that was single also that lived in the area, and 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:44.560 maybe it would be cool for us to get together 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:47.560 in chat sometime. So I gave her my number, which 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:50.400 she gave to her son, and this morning he texted 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:52.679 me and asked if I'd like to get together this 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.720 weekend and do something. So I guess we're going to 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:57.720 go on a date.

That's insane. Well, 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:14.680 we have a little update for you. That young man 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:22.879 is now dissolving in a as that psycho decided he 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:26.080 wasn't worthy of living, and she is now wearing his 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:31.120 skin as his garment and his fingerbones as a necklace. 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:40.000 Follow up segment. All right, all right, so dude run 0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:44.680 from her.

Reason, 0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:12.040 Doctor Freud had his own opinions whatever, and maybe it 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:14.640 was one of those. Maybe it was one of those. 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:18.800 She saw him and just her jaw dropped. It was like, 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:25.680 oh my god, for whatever reason, now certainly concocting some 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:27.160 sort of can you help me out to the car 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:29.800 with this or that would have been a hell of 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:32.760
