<v Speaker 2>Getty, Armstrong and Getty and Key Armstrong and Getty Strong and.

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:34.159
<v Speaker 3>Not live from Studio C Armstrong and Getty. We're off,

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:35.200
<v Speaker 3>We're taking a break.

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Come on enjoy this carefully curated Armstrong and Getty replay.

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 2>And as long as we're off, perhaps you'd like to

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 2>catch up on podcasts, subscribe to Armstrong and Getty on

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 2>demand or one more thing we think you'll enjoy it.

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:48.879
<v Speaker 4>Sir, you probably heard that you're supposed to get like

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 4>ten thousand steps a day, but according to new research,

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 4>just seven thousand steps a day could be.

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Enough to improve your health. Do you I hear six?

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 4>It really sounds like scientists have lowered their X expectations

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 4>for us. Explains why the new Surgeon General warning on

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:07.119
<v Speaker 4>cigarettes as do not smoke during pregnancy unless it's your

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:07.680
<v Speaker 4>second kid.

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Then what else?

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I like the jokes, but the problem is the

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 3>original ten thousand step thing was completely made up. The

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 3>problem with a lot of health stats, and we're about

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:25.680
<v Speaker 3>to get into some here, is they're misinterpreted regularly. Oftentimes

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 3>they're very very small, preliminary studies that the researchers themselves

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 3>would never put out there as a national story to

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:39.040
<v Speaker 3>talk about. But it's something exciting about something that can

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:43.120
<v Speaker 3>cause cancer or eliminate cancer or whatever, and so the

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:46.039
<v Speaker 3>media goes crazy with it. And then there's studies that

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 3>are paid for by like, you know, mattress companies or

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 3>candy bars or whatever, and lo and behold the study

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 3>says eating more chocolate leads to better sex life or whatever.

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 3>You know, So sure you gotta watch out for that.

0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 3>Before we get to that stuff of things real quick,

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 3>first of all, can we make a vow? We need

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 3>to make a vow. I don't think we can keep it,

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 3>but we should try. We should make a vow every

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 3>day and work toward this goal to stop talking about

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 3>cable news as if anybody's watching it.

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Because nobody is. So that's so fine with me.

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 3>Yea, I agree. But anytime you talk about Jake Tapper

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:20.639
<v Speaker 3>said this or whatever.

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 2>It might be interesting for some reason, but nobody is

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 2>watching that show. Nobody.

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm just I'm looking at this stats that Byron York

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 3>just put out from Fox. It's more likely you're watching

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:39.480
<v Speaker 3>a Fox show. Certainly, but uh, CNN's total audience during

0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 3>their five.

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:45.959
<v Speaker 2>Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, and eleven PM hours. You're

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:46.919
<v Speaker 2>cherry picking.

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 3>Added together don't beat one showing of the five, which

0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:56.920
<v Speaker 3>is not even one of Fox's highly rated shows. Oh

0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 3>so talking about anything on CNN or MSNBC really is you?

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Who are you talking to? Boy? It is the ultimate

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 2>example of something holding on to just any reputation based

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 2>entirely on its gloried pass.

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 3>And my people who are old enough to remember when

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 3>it mattered. If you're younger, you don't even know what

0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:17.360
<v Speaker 3>it is. Right, Well, it's in airports.

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Inexplicably, we got this CNN have a picture of the

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 2>head of the FAA with a mule or something. I mean,

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 2>how is CNN on an airport's all over America? That

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 2>is almost that is almost certainly the explanation. Well there

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 2>you go.

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, moving along, we got this text about that horrible

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 3>story in New York, the shooting. I just wanted to

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 3>deal with it real quick in case I did use

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 3>sloppy language. You're putting out fake news again. The shooter

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 3>in New York never played in the NFL. I didn't

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 3>mean to imply that he did. I thought I said

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 3>he was a high school star and that's where his.

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 2>Current You never stated anything that could be taken to

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>indicate that he played in the NFL. Well, I guess

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 2>you made reference to other Okay, yeah, whatever, that's fine, Okay, fine,

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 2>he didn't play in the NFL, but he does see

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 2>some budsman weighing in there.

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 3>He did seem to be blaming that brain mouth function

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.279
<v Speaker 3>that you can get from playing football, though, as he

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.040
<v Speaker 3>had a note about that and shot himself in the

0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.360
<v Speaker 3>chest and wants his brain to be studied, which doesn't

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 3>make him some sort of anybody to look up to

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.280
<v Speaker 3>because he killed a bunch of innocent people like a scumbag. Right,

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.279
<v Speaker 3>if you didn't get enough sleep last night, you've doubled

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:32.360
<v Speaker 3>your chance at Gang Green.

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.919
<v Speaker 2>I hope you're happy. Oh no, not another bout of

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:37.960
<v Speaker 2>gang Creen. Another bout.

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:42.839
<v Speaker 3>It ruined my summer vacation. Oh wow, it certainly ruined

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 3>my beach. Look my beach body.

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 2>Getting too big studies.

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 3>This is pretty damned interesting and a bit of a breakthrough.

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:53.839
<v Speaker 3>I think we've been talking about sleep stuff a lot.

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 3>Everybody that I know deals with sleep issues or if

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:03.279
<v Speaker 3>you're getting a enough sleep. They found a way pretty

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 3>simple with having instead of self reporting about sleep, which

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.840
<v Speaker 3>is all you had to really go on up until

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:14.599
<v Speaker 3>fairly recently. Now you can have everybody wear these little

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 3>devices that report on how much sleep you're actually getting.

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.920
<v Speaker 3>And there are way too many fake long sleepers in

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.479
<v Speaker 3>all studies we've ever heard. They actually that's what they

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 3>actually call them, fake long sleepers in studies we've heard

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.839
<v Speaker 3>about through our whole lives. It's people maybe like me,

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 3>who report a certain number of hours asleep but actually

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 3>get much less. If you actually wear a device that

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 3>measures how much you're sleeping, just because you're in bed

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 3>and semi unconscious, that amount of time doesn't mean you're

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 3>actually sleep sleeping. And so they had people wear these

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 3>devices trying to track how much like actually you were

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 3>asleep sleep you got. The numbers are a lot lower,

0:05:56.000 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 3>And so those other numbers skewed everything we've ever had

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 3>about sleep because you got a whole bunch of people

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 3>in there claiming they sleep eight hours a night and

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 3>they're actually sleep in six.

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Is anybody struck anybody else struck by the hilarious irony

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 2>of self reporting sleeping habits? I mean, if there's one

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 2>one period of my life I can't really account for.

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:19.600
<v Speaker 2>It's when I'm asleep. True.

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.600
<v Speaker 3>It's the largest study of its kind ever. Researchers strapped

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 3>fitness trackers on nearly ninety thousand adults for a week,

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 3>followed their health for almost seven years. Among people who

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.839
<v Speaker 3>claimed to sleep more than eight hours a night late

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:36.919
<v Speaker 3>nearly a twenty two percent, so a fifth we're actually

0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.600
<v Speaker 3>getting six or less. That's a big chunk of people

0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 3>who thought they were getting eight hours of sleep and

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 3>they're getting six or less.

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 2>That's that's enormous. Yes, statistically, that's like, why are you

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 2>even talking about the previous numbers?

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 3>They're ridiculous, right, But let me jump to the headlines

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 3>from it, other than the headline that everything you've ever

0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.039
<v Speaker 3>heard about sleep studies is fake because of what do

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.120
<v Speaker 3>they call them? Lying bash that's not what they called

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:05.679
<v Speaker 3>them fake long sleepers. My bastards would be too harsh,

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:09.800
<v Speaker 3>that'd be appropriate. Uh, sleep rhythm matters more than sleep duration.

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 3>Inconsistent or weak. Daily sleep rhythms were linked to eighty

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 3>three diseases and then they list them and we could

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 3>get into that later with the sleep rhythm ing when

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 3>you're going in and out of RAM like happens.

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 2>If you've ever learned anything about.

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 3>Sleep disease burden is comparable to smoking or obesity. Up

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 3>to thirty seven percent of Parkinson's These numbers can't be true,

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 3>can they? Up to thirty seven percent of Parkinson's and

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 3>thirty six percent of type two diabetes could be attributed

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 3>to disrupted sleep patterns.

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 2>That's a lot that. That's an extraordinary claim. I am,

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 2>I got my fur up p too. I'm very free. Wow.

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 2>What's what's our source here? What's our publication? Is this?

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 3>It's a dirty Chinese research led by doctor Quinn Chen

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 3>Army Medical University and Cheng Wang Peck Peak University. Okay,

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 3>are you concerned that the Chinese are trying to infiltrate

0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 3>our sleep device?

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm highly skeptical about all of this. The idea

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 2>that bad sleep rhythms are more serious a problem than

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:21.400
<v Speaker 2>we understand that, that's perfectly reasonable. But a bunch of

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 2>commis there at p King. I thought we were supposed

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 2>to say Beijing these days. Maybe they kept the name

0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.280
<v Speaker 2>for the university. That's a good question.

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 3>The study linked various sleep problems to one hundred and

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 3>seventy two different diseases across virtually every system in the

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 3>human body. Some diseases showed dramatic associations. For example, people

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.640
<v Speaker 3>with the most disrupted sleep rhythms face more than triple

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 3>the risk of age related physical debility. I don't really

0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.319
<v Speaker 3>doubt that. Well, yeah, but triple, But I don't doubt that.

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Your previous sentence about Parkinson's caught my ear, partly

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.839
<v Speaker 2>because both my mom and my grandfather died of complications

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:58.720
<v Speaker 2>from Parkinson's. But so little is known about what causes Parkinson's.

0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, could there be some correlation without causation, or

0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.520
<v Speaker 2>or half and half. That's that's utterly unclear to me.

0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:10.679
<v Speaker 3>But my guess would be that whoever wrote this article

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:15.839
<v Speaker 3>took the numbers and presented it as if its causation went.

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 3>It could just be those two things to go together

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:20.319
<v Speaker 3>for unknown reasons.

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 2>But I want to get back this because I thought

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:24.880
<v Speaker 2>it was funny. Well, it could be you've got a

0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.920
<v Speaker 2>gene mutation that causes poor sleep rhythms and parkinson for instance,

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Parkinson's for instance.

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 3>Sure, so people with the bad sleep triple the risk

0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:36.040
<v Speaker 3>of age related physical debility. Also, you doubled the risk

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 3>of gangreen compared to those with the robust sleep patterns.

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah again, don't I eliminate the any chance of gangreen

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:43.439
<v Speaker 3>by getting a tennis.

0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Shot ruin my beach vacation. It's it's hurt my golf game.

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 2>The gang green. It's terrible.

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.520
<v Speaker 3>How many people have you ever known gotten gangreen? Unless

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 3>you're one hundred and eighty years old.

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 2>My dating life has been poorer for it. Listen, you're

0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:02.679
<v Speaker 2>a great guy, but you're gangren. Oh. I saw you.

0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.840
<v Speaker 3>I saw your hinge profile and you mentioned the gangreen

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 3>right up toward the top. So it shouldn't have been

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:08.240
<v Speaker 3>a surprise anyone.

0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh my goodness.

0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.560
<v Speaker 3>So this sentence, this is the one you're having trouble with.

0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 3>And researchers estimated that up to thirty seven percent of

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.240
<v Speaker 3>parkins Parkinson's disease risk.

0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm exactly shut that. That means nothing. Sorry.

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.199
<v Speaker 3>I hate to be a kill joy, killing anything for me.

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 3>I didn't write this study.

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 2>I have no investment in this brought it to us.

0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:37.080
<v Speaker 2>We need a meeting, A long meeting, okay, a lot

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:44.439
<v Speaker 2>of questions, long meeting, prolonging questions. I would not.

0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 3>Be surprised if a lot of the problems we have

0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.560
<v Speaker 3>though in the modern world is people not getting.

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Decent sleep. Uh. Yeah, yeah, And I've become re re

0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:03.439
<v Speaker 2>re re re re reconvinced about the omnipresence of screens

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 2>and smartphones being a reason for people's mental problems recently. Yeah,

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:12.960
<v Speaker 2>I heard it presented in a religious context by a

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:16.439
<v Speaker 2>man of the cloth who was repeating what I think

0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:20.319
<v Speaker 2>man is known for thousands of years. But well, I'll

0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 2>just say what he said. Leave time in your life

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 2>for God, Leave time in your life for prayer and

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 2>meditation and contemplation. Put down your damn screen. You know.

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 3>I didn't even do this on purpose. It has just

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 3>kind of happened for a variety of reasons. But I've

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.199
<v Speaker 3>been on this kick all summer long. Of at sunset,

0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:46.520
<v Speaker 3>I schedule my evening around this. At sunset, I ride

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 3>my bike to the edge of town. It's about two

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.079
<v Speaker 3>and a half miles, and then I'm looking at a

0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.400
<v Speaker 3>wheat field. I'm from Kansas, so I like seeing the

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:54.720
<v Speaker 3>sunset over wheatfields.

0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:55.439
<v Speaker 2>So I'm there.

0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm looking at this wheatfield with the sunset, and I

0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 3>do this combination of prayer and affirmation and just kind

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 3>of talking to myself or whatever. I don't bring my

0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.600
<v Speaker 3>voe in and I do it every night, and it

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 3>has become like my favorite part of the day. Like

0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.199
<v Speaker 3>I just said, oh boy, I gotta get this done

0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:13.840
<v Speaker 3>because the sunset's coming, because it's just there's clearly some

0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 3>like nourishment I'm getting from that that I look forward

0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 3>to it, and I really go out of my way

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.959
<v Speaker 3>to make sure I've arranged so that I.

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Can do it. Yeah.

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.199
<v Speaker 3>Wow, I mean it's just organically making me want to

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.600
<v Speaker 3>do it every night. Yeah.

0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 2>I have a similar ritual. I drink myself incoherent and

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.880
<v Speaker 2>fall asleep muttering angrily about the people who wronged me

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 2>with Fox on really loud some nights. Yes you do you, man,

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:46.160
<v Speaker 2>you do you.

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.199
<v Speaker 3>I've actually been lately thinking how am I going to

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 3>keep this going when the days are shorter and the

0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 3>sun setting at five point thirty and dinner and blah

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:55.400
<v Speaker 3>blah blah, or's raine.

0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:56.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, but I'm going to miss it.

0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 3>I got to come up with a substitute for when

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 3>the beautiful weather is over because it has become super

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:02.960
<v Speaker 3>important to me.

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:07.360
<v Speaker 2>It's not as good idiotape it and watch it on

0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:12.320
<v Speaker 2>your screen carried around on my phone, but don't like

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.080
<v Speaker 2>say wow, that was really good. That was really soothing.

0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:16.719
<v Speaker 2>Now that I have my screen open, though, let's do

0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:20.719
<v Speaker 2>a little dune scroll like no, no right.

0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.040
<v Speaker 5>Jack Armstrong and Joe The.

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:37.560
<v Speaker 6>Armstrong and Getty Show, The arm Strong and Getty Show.

0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.680
<v Speaker 3>We were wondering if, like, if you used the therapist

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:44.079
<v Speaker 3>Harry on chat GPT, if it's different than just generally

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:47.160
<v Speaker 3>asking questions the way the rest of us have been doing.

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.240
<v Speaker 2>What did you find out, Katie, Yeah, it's significantly different.

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:52.719
<v Speaker 7>So for example, I just used like one of the

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:57.840
<v Speaker 7>medications from my IVF process, and chat GPT regular kind

0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.439
<v Speaker 7>of sympathized with that it might make me not feel good,

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 7>but then gave me a list of resources and things

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:04.880
<v Speaker 7>I can do to feel better.

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:08.680
<v Speaker 2>In all this, Yeah, I was totally unawarees Katie pointed

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:12.320
<v Speaker 2>out this segment that they have like individual bots with

0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:19.360
<v Speaker 2>specialized programming for different topics, including the number one being astrology,

0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 2>so there's no hope for humanity. But number two was

0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 2>find my celebrity look alike, and so I did that.

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:32.040
<v Speaker 2>I uploaded a photo and it struggled for a while.

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.560
<v Speaker 2>I could tell it was thinking, Chase. If somebody looked

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.440
<v Speaker 2>like you, they wouldn't be a celebrity. That's what do

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.400
<v Speaker 2>we tell This guy did give anyway? Did he give

0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:42.560
<v Speaker 2>you Barney Rubble? Looking? No, as a younger man, I

0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:46.360
<v Speaker 2>did resemble the great Barney Rubble a great deal. Looking

0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 2>closely at your features, strong brow lines, expressive forehead, square jaw,

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.480
<v Speaker 2>with a salt and pepper beard, and a slightly rugged

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:58.120
<v Speaker 2>but approachable look. Was it trying to aid, Hey, it's

0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 2>doing pretty well so far. If it is, you have

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:09.280
<v Speaker 2>a resemblance to Nick Nolty in his later years Hollywood

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 2>and sleeping on park benches.

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:14.360
<v Speaker 3>No, no, Buddy Holly, Nick Nolty, not now, Nick Nolty.

0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, unfortunately not, And also a bit of Kurt

0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Russell in his more recent roles Again Wenignalty. Resemblance comes

0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.000
<v Speaker 2>through in the weathered, expressive foreheadlines and the way your

0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 2>beard frames your face, especially like Nolty around the two thousands.

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh oh, they cite Kurt Russell and the hate late Yes,

0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:38.360
<v Speaker 2>if only.

0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.520
<v Speaker 3>The fact that the number one use for AI for

0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:49.400
<v Speaker 3>Dunderpates is astrology. It's amazing that you're combining like the

0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 3>most cutting edge advanced thing human beings have ever come

0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:58.520
<v Speaker 3>up with with the most old timey, dumbest from one

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:03.480
<v Speaker 3>hundred thousand years ago, reading the stars for your acuture.

0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Well more importantly, I need Katie to react with complete

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.239
<v Speaker 2>honesty to this. Your look has that mix of ruggedness

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.680
<v Speaker 2>and warmth that both of those actors are known for

0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.720
<v Speaker 2>in their later careers. I think you'd probably agree, wouldn't

0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:17.600
<v Speaker 2>you nailed that?

0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.680
<v Speaker 3>Why is that thing giving you all positive feedback? And

0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.280
<v Speaker 3>there's no you look sort of like a hobo I

0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 3>saw on the way to work.

0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Or just are you all right? Do you have medical

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:32.600
<v Speaker 2>professionals you can call?

0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:38.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, how long did doctor tell you you had?

0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yeah?

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 5>One?

0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:44.520
<v Speaker 2>One final AI note, Katie mentioned this headline Jeffrey Hinton,

0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.479
<v Speaker 2>often called the godfather of AI. He's calling on researchers

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.360
<v Speaker 2>to design systems that will take care of us like

0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:55.560
<v Speaker 2>we're babies, and we all reacted like, I'm not sure

0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.920
<v Speaker 2>I need that, but thanks very much. But I read

0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 2>what Hinton's reasoning is that's the only way to keep

0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:06.360
<v Speaker 2>them from becoming like our overlords who shred us and

0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:11.000
<v Speaker 2>take our organs for whatever purpose. He's like, we need

0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.960
<v Speaker 2>to make machines that are smarter than us to care

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 2>for us like we're there, babies, baby. We need to

0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:22.159
<v Speaker 2>imbue them with genuine concern for human well being, otherwise

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:27.200
<v Speaker 2>it could be really Yeah, So we need to convince

0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:30.199
<v Speaker 2>AI to care about us, so they don't, you know,

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 2>eat us.

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Wow, the Armstrong and Getty Show, Yeah, Borgia Orgio podcasts

0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:42.040
<v Speaker 1>and our hot links the Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:45.520
<v Speaker 8>Look, guys, there's no way to sugarcoat it.

0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Nobody likes Democrats anymore.

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.000
<v Speaker 8>We have no voters left because of all of our

0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:53.240
<v Speaker 8>woke trans bullet Not even black people want to vote

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.280
<v Speaker 8>for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So we need

0:17:56.320 --> 0:18:00.600
<v Speaker 8>new voters. And if we give all these illegal aliens

0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.480
<v Speaker 8>free healthcare, we might be able to get them on

0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:05.480
<v Speaker 8>our side so they can vote for us.

0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:07.680
<v Speaker 2>That is not actually Chuck Schumer.

0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.560
<v Speaker 3>That is an AI voice of the Democratic leader of

0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 3>the Senate. And that was not actually Donald Trump in

0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.600
<v Speaker 3>a sombrero behind him playing the trumpet.

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:19.600
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna praise Schumer for his candor.

0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.960
<v Speaker 3>Kim Jeffries was not actually wearing a sombrero with a

0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:26.359
<v Speaker 3>big giant black mustache. Also, JD Vance did not actually

0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:26.960
<v Speaker 3>say this.

0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:31.920
<v Speaker 7>Okay, as was Mucco, simply a Democrat party is mucho ritardo.

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, mucho retardo.

0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:36.880
<v Speaker 7>Especially at Hakimo Jeffries eel chuck O Schumer, they are

0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:40.760
<v Speaker 7>extra ritardo. So l presidente and I cannot negotiate with

0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:42.200
<v Speaker 7>these Democrat ritardos.

0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:47.399
<v Speaker 2>O no no, no, no, no, no no no. I

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:50.080
<v Speaker 2>don't like that term. Start Otherwise, that was very funny.

0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:53.919
<v Speaker 3>We started earlier in the week with that, just Schumer

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:56.000
<v Speaker 3>saying this about the Democrats and then there's kind of

0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 3>the subtle ish sombrero and mustache, and it's grown since

0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.080
<v Speaker 3>then and do this all subtenly has been lost and

0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:03.399
<v Speaker 3>it's just completely out of control.

0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:08.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, and I love that that reporter before. Is it

0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:12.840
<v Speaker 2>helpful to post sombrero pictures when you're attempting to negotiation?

0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.960
<v Speaker 3>Come on, So here's howkeing. Jeffrey is a leader of

0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:19.720
<v Speaker 3>the Democrats in the House. He just reacting to the videos.

0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:23.760
<v Speaker 9>It's a disgusting video. And we're going to continue to

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.959
<v Speaker 9>make clear bigotry will get you nowhere. We are fighting

0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:30.520
<v Speaker 9>to protect the healthcare of the American people in the

0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:35.440
<v Speaker 9>face of an unprecedented Republican assault on all the.

0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:39.120
<v Speaker 3>Things medicare the disgusting deal.

0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:43.480
<v Speaker 2>And here here's the reporter thing. Joe was mentioning, the president's.

0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:47.320
<v Speaker 10>Been posting some images of Leader Jeffries and Sanator Schumer. Ultately,

0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:51.080
<v Speaker 10>you've said that you're interested in good faith negotiations with

0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.359
<v Speaker 10>these leaders. But you know what message is that's and

0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:56.480
<v Speaker 10>is it helpful to post pictures of Leader Jeffries and

0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:58.440
<v Speaker 10>sombrero if you're trying to talk to you?

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I think they go, but yeah, you know what

0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:04.560
<v Speaker 2>it shows. It shows that we're the party that's got

0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:10.880
<v Speaker 2>a sense of humor, Wow, angry all the time mustache?

0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:16.240
<v Speaker 3>Is it helpful to post pictures of mister Jeffries and

0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:19.560
<v Speaker 3>a somburro and giant black mustache? Well, a whole bunch

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.000
<v Speaker 3>of Trumps. There's only one Trump. All five different Trumps

0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:25.640
<v Speaker 3>play trumpets and giant guitars.

0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Implying some might say that there are multiple Trumps who

0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:30.640
<v Speaker 2>should run for a third term.

0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:33.040
<v Speaker 3>If there were multiple Trumps, they'd be in a mariachi band.

0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:33.720
<v Speaker 3>Is that helpful?

0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh my golly, no, this is this is it's almost

0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:45.480
<v Speaker 2>kind of fun to watch, not the really silly part

0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:49.080
<v Speaker 2>of it, but the effort Hakeem jeffries to try to

0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:54.240
<v Speaker 2>get his civil rights movement. I'm outraged, we're all fighting together,

0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:57.119
<v Speaker 2>voice going and he runs it off the flagpole and

0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:58.800
<v Speaker 2>absolutely no one salutes.

0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:01.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'll say it again. I've said it multiple times.

0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:05.240
<v Speaker 3>But the fact that the Washington Post editorial board, the

0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:08.840
<v Speaker 3>people that run the Washington Post, said the Democrats walked

0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:10.840
<v Speaker 3>into a trap on this one and that they shouldn't

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:13.600
<v Speaker 3>have shut down the government. They should have cobbled together

0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 3>to votes to go with this. So I heard it explain.

0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:20.800
<v Speaker 3>It's actually pretty good explanation. These shutdowns are dumb and

0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:23.320
<v Speaker 3>don't matter. And the last one lasted a month and

0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:26.120
<v Speaker 3>you don't even remember it happened, all right, so quit.

0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Acting like it's a big deal.

0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:32.120
<v Speaker 3>But several times this happened last couple of times with Republicans,

0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:35.119
<v Speaker 3>where like the Tea Party did this like we're going

0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:37.080
<v Speaker 3>to show how hard we're going to fight, and I

0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:39.000
<v Speaker 3>was on board with the fighting and everything like that,

0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.320
<v Speaker 3>but you just don't have the leverage of the votes

0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:44.639
<v Speaker 3>to actually make anything happen. And Ted Cruz did it

0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:49.679
<v Speaker 3>around Obamacare. He did the law the really long what

0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:53.159
<v Speaker 3>do you call it? A filibuster? And then they also

0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:56.480
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't go along because they needed his vote to avoid

0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:59.000
<v Speaker 3>a shut down, and he had no leverage to actually

0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:04.119
<v Speaker 3>get anything accomplished. And that's what the the woke progressive

0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:07.199
<v Speaker 3>end of Democrats are doing. Now, we're gonna force a shutdown.

0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:08.879
<v Speaker 3>Show much we fight, but we don't actually have the

0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:12.480
<v Speaker 3>leverage to do anything. And so this has happened a

0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 3>couple of times, and again nobody nobody, nobody dies, Nobody

0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:18.120
<v Speaker 3>even notices it happens. It disappears into the history books. Man,

0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:20.280
<v Speaker 3>if you ever read that history book, you are bored

0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:23.760
<v Speaker 3>to death. But speaking of jokes, here's an ai or No,

0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:25.679
<v Speaker 3>this is a comedian. This is not Ai. This is

0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:27.760
<v Speaker 3>a comedian who does a good Trump voice.

0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:34.720
<v Speaker 11>Ola mei fellow Americana. Ce biendnitos alcierre de Schumer. That

0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:38.800
<v Speaker 11>means welcome to the Schumer shut down. We call it

0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:42.840
<v Speaker 11>the Schumer siesta, right, mister Schumer siesta. He put the

0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:48.760
<v Speaker 11>government on CIEs, the crying chuck and el jakimo, hefe Jeffries.

0:22:48.760 --> 0:22:51.240
<v Speaker 11>We used to call him Dallas st or Obama until

0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:55.080
<v Speaker 11>we realize he's worth far less than a dollar. But

0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:59.960
<v Speaker 11>they put the government on siesta to give illegal alien

0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:02.040
<v Speaker 11>ends your healthcare. We're not gonna let it happen. I

0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:03.679
<v Speaker 11>looked at both of them. I said, we're not going

0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:06.840
<v Speaker 11>to let it happen. As snowboy, now, I said a snowboy.

0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:07.000
<v Speaker 1>No.

0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:07.639
<v Speaker 2>They begged me.

0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:12.160
<v Speaker 11>They said, but signor or for more, please give Ille

0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:14.480
<v Speaker 11>de Lilias deathcare. So we're not going to do it.

0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:16.440
<v Speaker 11>We're never going to do it. It's not going to happen.

0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:18.720
<v Speaker 11>We're going to end the CES. So we're going to

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:23.119
<v Speaker 11>reopen the government and we will not give into the demands.

0:23:22.600 --> 0:23:24.280
<v Speaker 2>Of Chuck and l Hefe.

0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:27.440
<v Speaker 11>We're not going to do that. Thank you, God bless you,

0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:32.080
<v Speaker 11>Diolo Bendiga, and God bless America. Thank you for your

0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:33.320
<v Speaker 11>attention to this matter.

0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:35.359
<v Speaker 3>That last part was probably funny, but I don't speak

0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:36.600
<v Speaker 3>enough Spanish to know what he said.

0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I missed that one too.

0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:45.760
<v Speaker 3>Uh the uh, but please, Senor, it's pretty funny. The

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:48.960
<v Speaker 3>funny thing is that that's only like one tick off

0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:54.600
<v Speaker 3>actual Trump. Yes, I mean it's just barely even comedy, uh,

0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:56.920
<v Speaker 3>as opposed to did the President actually sing what he

0:23:57.000 --> 0:24:01.080
<v Speaker 3>was saying? And so Trump said, I got it home

0:24:01.119 --> 0:24:03.680
<v Speaker 3>where I grabbed it somewhere I lost it. Trump said

0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:06.359
<v Speaker 3>something funny, but I can't remember what it was about

0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:09.040
<v Speaker 3>the Democrats handing in this the he can't believe that

0:24:09.080 --> 0:24:13.560
<v Speaker 3>they same thing the Washington Post editorial board basically said

0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:16.440
<v Speaker 3>is he can't believe that the Democrats are allowing him

0:24:16.440 --> 0:24:19.919
<v Speaker 3>to do this and run all the leverage.

0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:25.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, and Trump's boy Russell vote. The budget chief is

0:24:25.240 --> 0:24:27.639
<v Speaker 2>taking advantage of it to try to shrink the government

0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:30.840
<v Speaker 2>as fast as he possibly can. Whether it holds up

0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:37.040
<v Speaker 2>or not, nobody's quite sure. But it's exactly what Trump

0:24:37.119 --> 0:24:39.400
<v Speaker 2>and Elon Musk and company and a lot of conservatives

0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:40.399
<v Speaker 2>have been wanting to happen.

0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 3>So let it continue. That's fine, I saw. So there

0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:46.639
<v Speaker 3>was some thing in the New York Times yesterday. I

0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:50.880
<v Speaker 3>got the bulletin during the day, you're nervous. Our experts

0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:54.400
<v Speaker 3>are here to answer your questions about the shutdown, I thought,

0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:57.160
<v Speaker 3>And I'm not nervous. I don't have any questions. I'm

0:24:57.160 --> 0:25:01.040
<v Speaker 3>perfectly fine. It'll end, like I keep saying, this afternoon

0:25:01.359 --> 0:25:04.040
<v Speaker 3>or Friday night or next Tuesday, and nobody will ever

0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:05.000
<v Speaker 3>think about it ever again.

0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:08.480
<v Speaker 2>So that was to their sizeable percentage of their listenership

0:25:08.520 --> 0:25:13.400
<v Speaker 2>that still wears covid masks alone outdoors. Right, Well, those

0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:15.199
<v Speaker 2>people are scared. They wake up scared. It makes them

0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:17.520
<v Speaker 2>feel important. Wow, I hadn't seen this.

0:25:17.760 --> 0:25:22.920
<v Speaker 3>Israel struck overnight in the Gaza Strip, killed at least

0:25:22.920 --> 0:25:26.880
<v Speaker 3>thirteen Palestinians according to whoever, according to hospitals. Of course,

0:25:26.880 --> 0:25:28.800
<v Speaker 3>a lot of hospitals are just Hamas holdouts and they

0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:32.480
<v Speaker 3>call them a hospital. But anyway, Israel's continuing to blast

0:25:32.600 --> 0:25:36.719
<v Speaker 3>that area Gaza while Hamas is waiting to decide thumbs

0:25:36.760 --> 0:25:40.320
<v Speaker 3>up or thumbs down on the peace proposal, which the

0:25:40.440 --> 0:25:41.640
<v Speaker 3>deadline is this weekend.

0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:44.760
<v Speaker 2>It's Thursday now, running out of time. Yeah, well, maybe

0:25:44.760 --> 0:25:46.119
<v Speaker 2>they ought to take a hard look at it and

0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:47.840
<v Speaker 2>figure it out quick. What do you think is going

0:25:47.880 --> 0:25:55.000
<v Speaker 2>to happen? I still think there are only two choices.

0:25:55.040 --> 0:25:57.600
<v Speaker 2>One Hamas says, all right, we'll go along with it,

0:25:57.640 --> 0:26:00.359
<v Speaker 2>and pretends to go along with it and seks to

0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:01.919
<v Speaker 2>do what they've always thought to do as hard as

0:26:01.920 --> 0:26:07.200
<v Speaker 2>they can. Secondly, they just reject it and say we'll

0:26:07.200 --> 0:26:10.280
<v Speaker 2>fight to the deaths because they've vowed martyred them over

0:26:10.320 --> 0:26:10.880
<v Speaker 2>and over again.

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:14.600
<v Speaker 3>So the critics are saying, like I saw this, Peter

0:26:14.680 --> 0:26:16.879
<v Speaker 3>Baker of the New York Times that this was basically,

0:26:19.720 --> 0:26:23.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, and all or nothing for Hamas proposal from

0:26:23.240 --> 0:26:26.240
<v Speaker 3>the Yeah, you see, one side is winning the war,

0:26:26.480 --> 0:26:27.720
<v Speaker 3>and they're gonna win the war.

0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:28.119
<v Speaker 2>No matter what.

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:32.000
<v Speaker 3>So they offered to the people that they're about to

0:26:32.080 --> 0:26:35.359
<v Speaker 3>completely decimate, here's a way out if you want it.

0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:37.520
<v Speaker 3>If you don't, we're just gonna continue to do what

0:26:37.520 --> 0:26:41.719
<v Speaker 3>we're doing. That's the way most wars end. Yeah, so

0:26:42.760 --> 0:26:45.200
<v Speaker 3>what like all of them? Yeah, so they can decide

0:26:45.240 --> 0:26:46.840
<v Speaker 3>to do it, Joe said, And you know, they're they're

0:26:47.000 --> 0:26:51.160
<v Speaker 3>uh dead enders. So they might say, you know, we're

0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:52.720
<v Speaker 3>gonna go ahead and fight to the death because they

0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:54.600
<v Speaker 3>don't care if they take all the Palestinians with them,

0:26:54.600 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 3>doesn't matter to them.

0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:57.240
<v Speaker 2>In fact, they think that would be great. Oh yeah.

0:26:57.359 --> 0:26:59.679
<v Speaker 2>In fact, they're gonna fight as long as they can

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:02.160
<v Speaker 2>and have as many civilians die as possible to hope

0:27:02.160 --> 0:27:05.919
<v Speaker 2>that the world opinion turns against Israel, because it already

0:27:05.960 --> 0:27:08.200
<v Speaker 2>has to some extent. So yeah, that's probably the most

0:27:08.280 --> 0:27:10.720
<v Speaker 2>likely scenario. But the idea that you know, the Peter

0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Baker's of the world, and he's a bright enough guy,

0:27:12.480 --> 0:27:14.480
<v Speaker 2>but my god, you're holding Israel to a standard that

0:27:14.520 --> 0:27:17.920
<v Speaker 2>has never existed in warfare in the history of the world.

0:27:18.640 --> 0:27:21.879
<v Speaker 2>You've just invented this special new one for Israel.

0:27:22.320 --> 0:27:26.320
<v Speaker 1>The Armstrong and Getty Showy or Jack or Joe Podcasts

0:27:26.359 --> 0:27:27.640
<v Speaker 1>and Our Hot Lakes.

0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:34.119
<v Speaker 5>Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:27:34.160 --> 0:27:38.800
<v Speaker 3>The Armstrong and Getty Show from the Department of Why

0:27:38.840 --> 0:27:41.639
<v Speaker 3>does nobody recognize we're driving toward a cliff at one

0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:42.520
<v Speaker 3>hundred miles per hour?

0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Alicia Finley of The Wall Street Journal pointing out

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:51.760
<v Speaker 2>that America's buy now, pay later economy is showing signs

0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:53.840
<v Speaker 2>of an emerging debt crisis everywhere.

0:27:53.880 --> 0:27:56.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't like this story. I'm not doing that. I'm

0:27:56.440 --> 0:27:58.520
<v Speaker 3>a I don't buy it until like an afford it

0:27:58.560 --> 0:28:02.600
<v Speaker 3>sort of guy. But we all get brought down by

0:28:02.600 --> 0:28:03.600
<v Speaker 3>a financial collapse.

0:28:03.640 --> 0:28:06.399
<v Speaker 2>We all realize that, right right, The word inclusive is

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:08.280
<v Speaker 2>very hot these days. There certainly was a couple of

0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:11.159
<v Speaker 2>years ago. That's the brilliant thing about a financial crash.

0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:15.560
<v Speaker 2>It includes virtually everybody. Yeah, misery. So anyway, so she

0:28:15.680 --> 0:28:20.000
<v Speaker 2>points out that serious credit card and auto loan delinquencies

0:28:20.320 --> 0:28:23.440
<v Speaker 2>have climbed to the level of the twenty eighth nine recession.

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:28.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so rousing right after that giant crashes. Not surprising

0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:32.399
<v Speaker 3>that lots of people all of a sudden were in

0:28:32.480 --> 0:28:34.600
<v Speaker 3>trouble and not quite making their payments on time and

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:35.320
<v Speaker 3>that sort of stuff.

0:28:35.359 --> 0:28:41.960
<v Speaker 2>What is the reason now? Nobody's sure we like spending money,

0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:46.240
<v Speaker 2>she says. The housing market shows cracks. Well, the labor

0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:48.600
<v Speaker 2>market is weakening, but you wouldn't know it from the

0:28:48.600 --> 0:28:52.920
<v Speaker 2>point stock market and consumer spending. America is buy now,

0:28:53.040 --> 0:28:57.040
<v Speaker 2>pay later economy, and at least increasingly fueled by leverage.

0:28:57.480 --> 0:29:01.280
<v Speaker 2>As consumers, investors, businesses, and the govern are all taking

0:29:01.320 --> 0:29:05.680
<v Speaker 2>on more debt, which she points out, and there's always

0:29:05.680 --> 0:29:08.200
<v Speaker 2>one person like this at the party, she points out,

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:11.240
<v Speaker 2>you have to pay for debt later with interest. Thank

0:29:11.280 --> 0:29:16.000
<v Speaker 2>you for that. What a drag man. As Americans max

0:29:16.000 --> 0:29:18.240
<v Speaker 2>out their credit cards after years of inflation, by now,

0:29:18.280 --> 0:29:22.360
<v Speaker 2>pay later offers are popping up everywhere, from concert tickets

0:29:22.960 --> 0:29:27.720
<v Speaker 2>to vacations to grocery stores. Boy, oh, boil boil boy.

0:29:27.800 --> 0:29:29.720
<v Speaker 3>I can see how it would be appealing if I'm

0:29:30.680 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 3>twenty one year old Jack and they'll never tour again

0:29:34.000 --> 0:29:38.520
<v Speaker 3>or whatever it's their farewell tour man to not buy

0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:41.560
<v Speaker 3>your concert tickets on I can't afford it now, but

0:29:41.640 --> 0:29:44.320
<v Speaker 3>I'll magically have more money six months from now.

0:29:45.000 --> 0:29:48.280
<v Speaker 2>No, don't do that, I guess. There are now apps

0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:50.760
<v Speaker 2>where you can split the cost of your purchases into

0:29:50.800 --> 0:29:55.760
<v Speaker 2>installment payments over weeks or months. Some are currently interest

0:29:55.880 --> 0:29:59.320
<v Speaker 2>free for now, just to include fees. Here's what you do.

0:29:59.360 --> 0:30:01.080
<v Speaker 2>You borrow a against your used car.

0:30:01.320 --> 0:30:03.280
<v Speaker 3>Is that still a thing that people are doing, where

0:30:03.280 --> 0:30:05.560
<v Speaker 3>you take out equity from your used car?

0:30:05.880 --> 0:30:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Yes?

0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Right, yeah, And unlike credit cards, a lot of these

0:30:10.040 --> 0:30:13.280
<v Speaker 2>services don't report the loans to the credit bureaus, so

0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:16.680
<v Speaker 2>folks are in much more debt than their credit rating

0:30:16.760 --> 0:30:17.600
<v Speaker 2>might indicate.

0:30:17.760 --> 0:30:22.320
<v Speaker 3>But so these all these different entities that are giving

0:30:22.360 --> 0:30:24.719
<v Speaker 3>people these deals must feel like they're going to get

0:30:24.760 --> 0:30:25.280
<v Speaker 3>paid back.

0:30:26.480 --> 0:30:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, certainly in the short term. And they

0:30:31.280 --> 0:30:34.800
<v Speaker 2>have carefully calculated their default rates and you know, price

0:30:34.880 --> 0:30:39.000
<v Speaker 2>their services excuse me accordingly. And you know, if somebody

0:30:39.400 --> 0:30:41.080
<v Speaker 2>ends up not being able to pay, they just put

0:30:41.080 --> 0:30:42.440
<v Speaker 2>them their name on the blacklist.

0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:46.800
<v Speaker 3>And boy, my oldest son has got a life lesson

0:30:46.840 --> 0:30:50.040
<v Speaker 3>coming on. I don't even remember what it was now,

0:30:50.080 --> 0:30:52.400
<v Speaker 3>it's been so long, and something he really really wanted

0:30:52.440 --> 0:30:54.640
<v Speaker 3>and kind of fronted him the monk kind of fronted

0:30:54.680 --> 0:30:56.800
<v Speaker 3>him the money on that with the idea that you

0:30:56.840 --> 0:30:58.640
<v Speaker 3>will owe me and I will be keeping track of it,

0:30:58.680 --> 0:31:01.320
<v Speaker 3>and I have been keeping and he still owes me.

0:31:01.360 --> 0:31:04.720
<v Speaker 3>And Christmas might just be here. I've wiped off hot

0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:08.880
<v Speaker 3>half your debt. Merry Christmas. That would be a lesson

0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:11.880
<v Speaker 3>how that old thing works. That would be a great

0:31:12.000 --> 0:31:15.480
<v Speaker 3>gift in a way. Yeah, sure, not to be appreciated

0:31:15.680 --> 0:31:20.000
<v Speaker 3>at the time. According to recent survey, about half of

0:31:20.120 --> 0:31:22.920
<v Speaker 3>consumers have used a buy now, pay later service.

0:31:23.440 --> 0:31:26.560
<v Speaker 2>This is not a niche, this is half I've reskewed

0:31:26.600 --> 0:31:27.520
<v Speaker 2>towards the young.

0:31:28.280 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 3>Concert tickets, your vacation, I mean everybody kind of does

0:31:33.280 --> 0:31:35.000
<v Speaker 3>that a vacation, right, because you put everything on your

0:31:35.000 --> 0:31:37.480
<v Speaker 3>credit card, whether you pay it off that month or

0:31:37.600 --> 0:31:38.520
<v Speaker 3>over a couple of months.

0:31:38.560 --> 0:31:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Good point. Yeah, let's see Federal Reserve pay per last

0:31:41.920 --> 0:31:44.640
<v Speaker 2>December found such users are more likely to have low

0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:47.480
<v Speaker 2>credit scores, carry of balance on credit cards, have incurred

0:31:47.680 --> 0:31:55.120
<v Speaker 2>checking overdraft fees, and have more delinquent credit accounts. Financially

0:31:55.200 --> 0:32:02.400
<v Speaker 2>vulnerable consumers maybe over extending themselves. And let's see. One

0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:06.440
<v Speaker 2>of the bigger buy now, pay later services announced an IPO,

0:32:06.600 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 2>which is expected to be one of the biggest of

0:32:08.720 --> 0:32:12.600
<v Speaker 2>the year. Such services make money by capitalizing on financially

0:32:12.640 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 2>stretched consumers, especially young people who don't want to tighten

0:32:16.400 --> 0:32:20.160
<v Speaker 2>their belts. Wow.

0:32:22.040 --> 0:32:25.160
<v Speaker 3>According to the Babylon b As we told you, the

0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:28.280
<v Speaker 3>Social Security Administration is going to be renamed the Charles

0:32:28.320 --> 0:32:30.800
<v Speaker 3>Ponzi Memorial Retirement Plan, which I like.

0:32:31.400 --> 0:32:32.320
<v Speaker 2>That is great.

0:32:33.000 --> 0:32:36.680
<v Speaker 3>The Department of Justice will be changed to the Department

0:32:36.720 --> 0:32:38.640
<v Speaker 3>of Revenge and all losers and haters.

0:32:38.680 --> 0:32:40.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's appropriate.

0:32:41.840 --> 0:32:45.360
<v Speaker 3>And yet somewhat accurate in these days of law fair,

0:32:45.520 --> 0:32:47.160
<v Speaker 3>this is the one that hurts. The Department of the

0:32:47.200 --> 0:32:50.880
<v Speaker 3>Treasury will be changed to the Chinese Loan Office.

0:32:51.240 --> 0:32:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Ooh, one more that I liked.

0:33:00.000 --> 0:33:03.520
<v Speaker 3>Sing in Urban Development will retitle his Department of the Pores.

0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:09.440
<v Speaker 2>The Pores. Wow.

0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:11.160
<v Speaker 3>By the way, we got a text from somebody who

0:33:11.160 --> 0:33:13.480
<v Speaker 3>said they always appreciate when I do my porky pig

0:33:13.560 --> 0:33:14.760
<v Speaker 3>routine not being able to.

0:33:14.720 --> 0:33:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Pronounce a word. I got another statistic for you. That's

0:33:19.880 --> 0:33:23.160
<v Speaker 2>enough fun. Back to the misery. So in twenty twelve,

0:33:24.600 --> 0:33:30.080
<v Speaker 2>mortgage you know, holders had debt to income ratio is

0:33:30.080 --> 0:33:34.800
<v Speaker 2>considered risky. Right, twenty eight percent of people had a

0:33:34.840 --> 0:33:38.520
<v Speaker 2>debt to income ratio that was pretty risky twenty eight

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:45.959
<v Speaker 2>percent last year sixty nine percent. Oh my god. Seven

0:33:46.000 --> 0:33:48.720
<v Speaker 2>man Freddy mckew was thirty eight percent, up from sixteen

0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:51.160
<v Speaker 2>percent in twenty twelve. Seven out of ten.

0:33:51.000 --> 0:33:54.560
<v Speaker 3>Of yea, yeah, I don't think I do have a

0:33:54.720 --> 0:33:55.800
<v Speaker 3>risky debt to.

0:33:57.600 --> 0:34:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Income ratio. And if I haven't driven you to buy

0:34:00.840 --> 0:34:03.240
<v Speaker 2>gold and bury it in your backyards yet, how much?

0:34:03.280 --> 0:34:09.120
<v Speaker 2>How about one more? The FAHA Federal Housing Association, we

0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:11.080
<v Speaker 2>have a fancy new name for them, from the Babylon

0:34:11.120 --> 0:34:14.839
<v Speaker 2>Bay too bad. They've waived or reduced monthly payments on

0:34:14.840 --> 0:34:17.479
<v Speaker 2>one point two million mortgages over the past two years.

0:34:17.600 --> 0:34:20.040
<v Speaker 2>It's about fifteen percent of the total that they hold,

0:34:20.400 --> 0:34:25.240
<v Speaker 2>and without that forgiveness passed during the Biden administration, delinquencies

0:34:25.280 --> 0:34:27.400
<v Speaker 2>would be near the level of the twenty eight to

0:34:28.040 --> 0:34:31.719
<v Speaker 2>nine meltdown. Fanny and Freddy have also been slashing in

0:34:31.760 --> 0:34:36.600
<v Speaker 2>deferring payments on hundreds of thousands of mortgages. So I

0:34:36.719 --> 0:34:40.640
<v Speaker 2>go into my son's room last night to talk to him,

0:34:41.120 --> 0:34:41.560
<v Speaker 2>which is.

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:44.359
<v Speaker 3>One of the grooviest high schooler bedrooms I've ever seen

0:34:44.400 --> 0:34:46.400
<v Speaker 3>in my life. He's put a lot of effort into it,

0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:49.120
<v Speaker 3>and it's very cool and dark. It's always very dark

0:34:49.160 --> 0:34:51.440
<v Speaker 3>in there. But anyway, I go into my high schooler's

0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:53.480
<v Speaker 3>room last night and did not smell pleasant.

0:34:53.520 --> 0:34:55.400
<v Speaker 2>I said, what is the deal in here? On a

0:34:55.480 --> 0:34:56.200
<v Speaker 2>rest of sex?

0:34:57.160 --> 0:34:59.279
<v Speaker 3>And he must have taken that to heart, because now

0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:04.839
<v Speaker 3>the higher house smells like high school boy cologne. And

0:35:05.120 --> 0:35:06.480
<v Speaker 3>I said, what did you do? And he said, we

0:35:06.560 --> 0:35:08.600
<v Speaker 3>used to sit at smell bed. So I sprayed around

0:35:08.600 --> 0:35:11.480
<v Speaker 3>some of my cologne. I thought that would help some

0:35:11.520 --> 0:35:15.920
<v Speaker 3>of your colone. Oh, it smells like you're on a

0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:19.239
<v Speaker 3>date with four high school sophomore boys right now in

0:35:19.280 --> 0:35:19.720
<v Speaker 3>my house.

0:35:20.480 --> 0:35:23.799
<v Speaker 2>Wow, way too much, way too much. I ortant to

0:35:24.040 --> 0:35:26.440
<v Speaker 2>ascertain the source of the funk.

0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:29.480
<v Speaker 3>First, it's not funny, I don't I don't know what

0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:31.880
<v Speaker 3>it is about the scent, but it just it smells

0:35:32.000 --> 0:35:34.040
<v Speaker 3>like if you had to name the smell, you'd say,

0:35:34.160 --> 0:35:37.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm on a date with a boy who's about old

0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:40.239
<v Speaker 3>enough to get his driver's license. That's what it smells like.

0:35:40.800 --> 0:35:46.600
<v Speaker 3>Its own scent. You wow, acts bedroom spray.

0:35:46.600 --> 0:35:49.719
<v Speaker 2>Or something like that. Yikes. Among the story. I hope

0:35:49.760 --> 0:35:51.319
<v Speaker 2>you bought it for cash and didn't borrow them one

0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:54.359
