WEBVTT - Rex Has Fleas. Thanks For Asking. 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.880 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, Armstrong and 0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:17.240 Gatty and he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:26.920 Any of you in the media clearly missed the art 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:29.840 of the deal. You clearly failed to see what President 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:32.839 Trump is doing here. You tried to say that the 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.240 rest of the world would be moved closer to China, 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:37.199 and in fact we've seen the opposite effect. 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:41.640 That's the White House press spokesman explaining yesterday why Trump 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.320 that was the plan all along. It was the art 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:48.479 of the deal, the pullback on the tariffs away he did. 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:52.720 And then but Trump shortly thereafter talking to a reporter 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:58.960 to markets that persuaded you to reverse. I was watching 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:01.360 the bottom market that the bond market is very tricky. 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:03.320 I was watching it. But if you look at it now, 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:09.679 it's beautiful. The bond market right now is beautiful. But yeah, 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.360 I saw last night where people were getting a little queasy. 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.000 I think everything had. 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:16.280 Well. 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.360 The big move wasn't what I did today. The big 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.440 move was what I did on Liberation Day. We had 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.679 Liberation Day in America. We liberated from all of the 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:27.319 horrible deals that were made, all of the horrible trade 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:31.320 deals that were made. So he basically came out and said, 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:36.000 I was watching the financial returns and people were getting scared. 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:40.399 So and the reporting is that the Secretary of the 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:44.000 Treasury was sitting there with him saying, dude, dude, just 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.200 getting too bad. And that's when Trump put out the 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.160 truth social yesterday, right right after we got off the air. 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.360 Thanks for the timing, mister Trump. Couldn't you have done 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.240 it a half hour earlier. It have been so exciting 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.720 to talk about in real time, as the stock market 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:59.880 skyrocketed immediately as soon as he said ninety day pause 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:04.040 on the tariffs, freaked out by the bond market. Jack 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.800 all about the bond market. No, I was not was 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:10.800 the art of a Neil? Was the plan all along? Oh? 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:16.400 Sorry, I stand corrected. So Scott Besant came out and 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.280 further explained the White House's policies. Why don't we just 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.040 start with number fifty, Michael, as. 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:28.600 I told everyone a week ago there in this very spot, 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:33.680 do not retaliate and you will be rewarded. So every 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.440 country in the world who wants to come and negotiate, 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.680 we are willing to hear you we're going to go 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:45.760 down to a ten percent baseline tariff for them, and 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.120 China will be raised to one five due to their 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.080 insistence on escalation. 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:56.880 Is Secretary think so? 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:00.880 And then the market skyrocketed and then they plunged. As 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:04.919 we speak on Thursday, they are down around five percent, 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:06.480 depending on which one you're looking at. 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.959 It's a huge drop. Wow, I see the Dow is 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:13.359 down trade war with China sixteen hundred as everybody. Yeah, 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.400 because the whole China thing, that's a big deal. What 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.040 is it, one hundred and twenty five percent tariff on China? 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.919 Now all those Chinese firts coming in. Whatever it is, 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.200 one hundred and seventy five, three hundred percent, I don't know. 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.639 As we learned yesterday, it can all change pretty quickly. 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:32.360 It's funny in a way to have heard for ages, 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:37.040 if you're paying any attention, that we've got to couple 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:37.560 with China. 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:41.840 They've been exploiting us. They've been erecting barriers to our goods. 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.560 They've been stealing our intellectual property. They've been cheating in 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.440 a hundred different ways. They've been flooding the world with 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:51.400 cheap crap and predatory you know, exploiting of markets to 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.560 put their competition out of business. Blah blah blah. We've 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:57.560 got to decouple. And now that the decoupling is maybe beginning, 0:03:57.800 --> 0:03:58.440 it's like. 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.320 What are we doing? Why is this? What a And 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:01.720 I'm not. 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:03.840 Saying it's good or it's going to be easy, but uh, 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:08.480 here we go, right, how does this play out? 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:16.880 Well? My characterization that I mean, because it looks to 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:21.000 me like from the reporting that Trump got some reactions 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.600 in the stock market that were beyond what he thought 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:25.800 would happen and he had to pull the plug on 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:29.919 this earlier than he thought. Or are you going with 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:31.640 the this was the plan all along? 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.080 No, I'm going with the bond market specifically, which is 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.719 different from the stock markets the markets in general. But yeah, 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.680 because the numbers in the bond market suggested people were 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.520 really taking a dim view of the United States economy 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.320 and debt in the long term. 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.839 But he was, and that's no good. But he wasn't 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:54.120 planning twenty four hours earlier to do that. 0:04:54.920 --> 0:05:00.600 No, as bessn said, Uh where does he say that 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.599 that they were talking about it on Sunday? 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:05.640 Anyway? 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.719 I can't find it, and it doesn't really matter. But 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.359 now they you know, Actually, I think this is a 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:16.359 really good account by Annie Lensky and a couple others 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:17.599 in the Wall Street Journal. 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:21.400 It was a classic Trump. 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.360 He took a drastic action, closely tracked the reaction, kept 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.800 advisors and allies guessing, and then changed course. 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:34.200 You're judged by the results, and we were. 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:37.760 Getting screwed by China, but it was such crack the 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.920 Chinese market, and they're cheap manufacturing. We just didn't want 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.080 to get off the crack, even though we knew it 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:44.760 was horrible. 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:46.360 And now maybe we're starting. 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:46.680 Well. 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.159 I have no problem with the result we've gotten. I 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:52.359 think it's kind of hilarious that the people that were, 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:58.479 you know, Trump hating crowd how how you know? Dogmatic 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.679 he is, and he's an idea law and he won't 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:04.800 bend and he refuses to face reality and he's crazy. 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.400 And and then when the bond market does whatever he 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.839 doesn't like and he changes course, then he's criticized for 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.920 going back on his what he had said before. Well, 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:17.160 which do you want? M You know, I don't know 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:18.640 if we have the clip yesterday where he was talking 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:20.839 about sometimes you gotta go, you know, you want to 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:22.640 be on the other side of that wall. You try 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:23.960 to go through the wall. You try to go through 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:25.520 the wall, it won't work, so you gotta try to. 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.360 Then you decide, well, maybe I got to go over 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.360 it or around it or under it, but I got 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.479 you know, got to you gotta change your plan. But 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.720 that's things. That's what he said yesterday for his you know, 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.160 dropping the tariffs. But it's a very sort of thing. 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.920 He was being criticized for that. He wouldn't do that 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:41.640 sort of thing, you know, an hour earlier. 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:44.840 Yeah, I'm sorry that the quote I was looking for 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.599 is actually in print. Beson To explained the move to 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.719 pause some of the tariffs was discussed Sunday when the 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.760 two men met. He and I had a long talk. 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.960 This was his strategy all along. Now I can believe 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.920 that Trump said, yeah, I threw all that permanent trade 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.440 barriers talk out there because I wanted people to come 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:02.960 to the table in a serious way and we got 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:04.800 to restructure our international trade. 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:06.719 I can believe that was his plan all long. 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.320 I don't I don't necessarily think that technique is great 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.280 as the leader of the free world, but you know, 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.400 that's everybody can have their own opinion. 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:13.600 On it. 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:15.680 It would be technically true to say if you're playing 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.400 all along is if the bond market does this, I'll 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:21.040 have to end it. Yeah that he could have said 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.080 that out loud behind closed doors long time. Sure as possible. 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.600 About a little let's let's hear a little more Scott 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:28.640 Bess into fifty one. 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:33.720 Michael, your ponies fine bargle to China tradeing marble. Well, 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:36.840 I'm not sure what you mean by the word in 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:37.880 bargo one. 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:44.000 Isn't any always eighty four percent? 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:45.240 Is any? 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:46.640 Barber? Well, it's it's good. 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:50.360 It's China's decision that we have the deficit with them. 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.880 They sell us almost five times what we sell them. 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.880 So again, I think it's an. 0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:01.680 Own goal by China, and he expands on that thought 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.800 in the next clip. But what I am certain of. 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.160 What I'm certain of is that what China is doing 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.920 will affect their economy much more than a will ours, 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:15.000 because they have an export driven flood the world with 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:19.480 cheap export models. And the rest of the world now 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:24.200 understands because when we put our barterre fall, those exports 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.200 are already flowing to the rest of the G seven 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:28.520 and to the global South. 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.160 Well, you know, you like March Madness or the NBA 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.760 playoffs are starting. You want to see two giant titans 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:38.040 going at it. The biggest economy in the world and 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.120 the second biggest economy in the world are now officially 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.640 in a trade war. That's pretty exciting. 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.120 Yeah, I don't know both know's going to try out 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:52.400 in neither side is the sort of guy or in 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.800 the sort of situation where backing down is going to 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:55.679 be very easy. 0:08:56.120 --> 0:09:00.360 I don't think Trump should back down. How it's thinness, 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.360 you know, there are a thousand opinions on that. 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.760 How do we decouple with China? How quickly? Where do 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.480 we start? How do we deal with the pain of it? 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.600 I mean, that's super crazy complex. But the fact that 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:13.400 it's happened, it has to happen. 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.600 He could end up taking the Trump could end up 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:19.600 taking the blame for something that was inevitable anyway that 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:23.720 was going to happen more in drips and drabs, I mean, 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:29.080 because the the the rupture had to happen at some 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.840 point between US and China. It just it can't continue. 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.199 Yeah, you're your biggest business partner, Well, one of the 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:40.160 biggest is a evil regime bent on world domination. 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:44.080 That's right. That's not very convenient building up their military 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.480 every single day to try to take us over. Yeah, 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:48.600 I was gonna say that I put it too neutrally. No, 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.120 they're bent on crushing us as an economy, as a 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:56.000 political system, and a species. If they can. We want 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.360 to stamp out the American ideal as fast as they should, 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.640 they would actually ensla They would have no problem with that. 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.959 I understand because the racist too, that's often left out 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:06.480 of the discussion. 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.600 You're right, I don't understand why more people don't understand this. 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:12.200 It's it's it's it is a very very big deal. 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.440 It's like because because so many people were making so 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:18.559 much money, nobody had any interest in explaining it. 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:22.440 God. I was listening to the Tom Cotton podcast the 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.880 other day. His book out about Seven Things you Can't 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.120 Say about China, But he was talking about when China 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.240 finally decides to take Taiwan, and nobody has any idea 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.280 if that's going to be this afternoon or never, or 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.240 any time in between, and it's up to President she 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.440 because that's the way their system worked. But as Tom 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.720 Cotton pointed out, like the military exercise they did a 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:47.680 week or so ago. If they just announced this is 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:51.480 no longer an exercise, Taiwan is ours. What is anybody 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.319 gonna do about it? Right? Yeah? 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:59.320 At that point, right, Tom, we ought to talk to 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.560 Tom Cotton if since he's making the rounds, his book 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:06.120 sounds terrific and man, he is the finest and smartest 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:07.040 of the China Hawks. 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:08.760 Yeah. And he makes the point that a lot of 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.640 the world said, no, no, Hong Kong is independent. You 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.800 can't take Hong Kong. Okay, you've taken Hong Kong. You 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.319 shouldn't have done that. And you know, time just goes by, 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.040 and Hong Kong belongs to China. Now it's just like 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.120 any other part of China. Yep. And I think that's 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.800 gonna happen with Taiwan too, which will really affect chipping 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.440 and blah blah blah blah. This trade war is gonna 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:29.720 be fun to watch. Well. 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.320 And one final thought, the reason for his title seven 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.560 Things you Can't Say about China, it's just not like 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.760 a provocative title. He's making the point that China has 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:42.280 so much power, so much influence over various areas of business, 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:47.960 especially financial, for financial reasons that nobody's willing to call 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.960 them on some of the horrors of the way they 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.839 do business, the way they treat people, just a dozen 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:57.160 different things. And we've got to stop being afraid of 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.160 offending the Communist Chinese. 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:03.680 Starting with when we were kids, every scary international movie, 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:07.360 the bad guys were Russian Soviet Union. The spies were 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.880 from the Soviet Union. You know, World War three was 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:15.200 going to be Soviet Union. Never never Chinese spy, bad 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:20.839 guys from China in any movie ever. Right, And that's 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.640 what said. Isn't that odd? I wonder if that'll change. Ever, 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:25.400 we've got more in the way. I hope you can 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:33.560 stick around. I got something I think it's unintentionally hilarious. 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:38.400 It seems to be serious. It's from a website that 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:44.520 helps with careers Career Guide Career Development thirty alternatives to 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:50.720 hope all is well to use in work emails. I 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:57.839 need from the Indeed editorial team. I need the editorial 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.280 team of a website around business to help me with 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.720 things to say other than hope all is well. Anyway. 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:05.480 I'll get into those at the bottom of the ear. 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:07.800 Yeah, I lean on that phrase a little bit in 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:11.440 my correspondence. I need some alternatives excellent. 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:12.720 But don't we under well? I'll talk about it when 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:13.640 it's time to talk about it. 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:18.600 Yes, yes, please Michael five. The Jimmy fallon bits sounds amusing? 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.000 Is it amusing? Let's hear that Trump's trying his best 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:25.000 to ease everyone's concerns about the economy. This morning he. 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:28.680 Posted be cool, Everything is going to work out well. 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:32.840 Be cool isn't what you say to fix the economy. 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:34.560 It's what you say when you and your friend are 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.760 trying to sneak outside food into a movie theater. So 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:44.040 you're walking weird? Dude, you're walking weird? Why are you 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:49.920 walking sideways? My mom is just sneaking like a two 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:54.240 liter bottle of soda and just open it slowly. It's 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:57.080 the longest. I just open it fast if we can 0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:02.160 get it over with it. Sounds like you're grilling. Yeah. 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.400 When I would bring beers into the movie theater, you 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:08.200 gotta wait for like an explosion or something loud to happen, 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:12.000 then you can open your beer. Shameful. I thought this 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:12.800 was interesting. 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.960 According to new research, your mind wandering isn't always harmful 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.000 to learning. You know how it is you suddenly realize 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:21.600 you've spaced off and haven't heard. 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:23.440 A word for the last two minutes or something like that. 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.960 It's okay with like audiobooks and stuff like that podcast 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.960 because I can rewind them. But if it's your boss 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:34.240 or a professor, you can't rewind it. It's disparting. Yeah, 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:35.200 I will tell you this. 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.600 I'll jump to a bit of a caveat to the science, 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:42.640 which is really interesting but depends the setting and what's 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:47.760 being said and how boring are they But for decades, 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.200 whether it's an educator or employer, they've treated mind wandering 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:56.560 as the enemy of productivity and learning. But according to 0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:00.560 new research published in the Jural journal, Hello, I need 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.400 to read the Journal of Saying the word correctly. New 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:07.080 research published in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests that minds 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:11.440 wandering isn't just harmless, it might actively boost our ability 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:15.520 to pick up on subtle patterns in the world around us. 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.320 It's your brain saying, give me a second. 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.520 I've got to shake all of that out, file it 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.920 and understand the relationship between those ideas. 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:24.360 Okay, I'm good. 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:32.760 It's doing the making the connections that give you actual 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:33.760 knowledge and wisdom. 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:37.920 I'll bet that's true sometimes or maybe even most of 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:41.760 the time, but yes, not always. Yeah. 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:47.320 The study conducted by researchers found that when participants' minds 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.720 drifted during a computer task, they became better at detecting 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:54.840 hidden statistical patterns, even though they weren't consciously trying. 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:56.680 To find them. 0:15:56.720 --> 0:16:00.000 Mind wandering, occupying thirty to fifty percent of our waking time, 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:04.600 remains an enigmatic phenomenon and cognitive neuroscience. The researchers noted, 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.480 given how much of our mental life around such wandering 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.880 thoughts involves such wondering thoughts, it seems unlikely they serve 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:15.560 no purpose. I would argue that that is also another 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:19.320 reason not to stare constantly at your phone and always 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:23.120 engage your mind with inputs. It needs time to not 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:28.600 be doing anything specific I both for your cognitive function 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:29.560 and your sanity. 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:32.720 I've always known I've been listening to audiobooks back to 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:34.880 when they were cassettes you got at the library. But 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:38.200 I've always noticed, like when i'd go on trips, I 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.920 couldn't get into it right away. I'd keep spacing off, 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.520 and I'd have to rewind, space off, rewind, But once 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.840 I got in a groove, then then I could focus 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.320 so I don't know what that is that it just 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.320 like had to train my brain a little bit to 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:53.120 be able to focus right. 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:57.480 And they point out that the mind wandering people missed 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:02.280 and made more errors overall during their periods of mind wandering, 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.880 but they became much better at detecting certain subtle things 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:10.280 that were below the surface. So spacing off and daydreaming 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.240 is incredibly important, as is sleep. 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:17.919 Hope you are well or on the Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:21.840 So we've got an internal thing to clean up here 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:23.480 on the Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:26.640 Show, I would say so to say the lace Joey 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:27.920 three years are working together. 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:31.040 This is the low moment, right, So at the end 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:36.960 of the last segment, you're about to hear it. I struggled. 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.360 Joe said it was off the air. He said during 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.919 the commercials, that is the worst moment. And thirty years 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:48.400 of doing this show this Katie's already laughing. She will 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:50.920 not soon be cleared. I can't wait to hear it again. 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:53.680 I'm not looking forward to hearing it again. I can 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:56.399 explain myself, I think, well, I can't really explain it, 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:58.800 but I know what happened anyway, This is how it 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:02.760 sounded what you're about to hear happened like six minutes ago. 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:07.439 Spacing off and daydreaming is incredibly important as a sleep. 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:12.440 Hope you are well or all no on the artrong 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:27.919 and Getty, Oh beautiful, beautiful again, Michael. 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:33.720 Spacing off and daydreaming is incredibly important as a sleep. 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.399 I hope you are well or all no on my 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:45.719 arm strong And so I was trying. I was in 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:48.360 my mind what I was going to say, and usually, 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:50.840 as a person who speaks for a living, what I 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:52.680 have in my mind can come out of my mouth 0:18:52.760 --> 0:19:00.760 quite quickly eventually or an alternative version. And I've never 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:04.400 felt physically this. I've never felt this before. My tongue 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:07.120 it felt like it was three times its normal size, 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:11.159 and it just or all nor something happened with my 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:13.119 jaw in my tongue. I hope it's not the beginning 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.880 of a horrible disease or something that I'm about to follow. 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:18.880 That would be unfortunate. And I feel bad about my giggling. 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:21.679 I just all of a sudden my mouth would not 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:25.040 work or well. See. 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:27.720 I thought it was because if we're up against a 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.240 hard break, which means there's no flexibility, we have to 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:33.280 take it at that very second, Michael will count us 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:36.400 down last ten seconds, and I could see you looking 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.560 down at your phone or notes or something like that 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:41.680 as Michael was counting down, and as he got down 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:43.640 a three to one, I could tell you weren't aware 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:46.200 of it, and you looked up mid sentence with one 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:51.640 second left, and I assume your brain just locked up. 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.960 Or all on the I don't think that was it 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:58.359 all because I was I don't think that was it 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.920 because I was trying to rea what it was alternative. 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:05.360 I was trying to read and it just hung out. 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:13.560 Words are hard exactly A well or all on the Wow, 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:19.399 Oh yeah, that's what it is. I have been making 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:24.120 my car payment or house payment as a broadcaster for 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:27.880 forty one years, and that is the worst moment I've 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:30.760 ever was. It was a good run. That was my 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:31.880 worst moment right there. 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.520 Okay, reminds me he didn't get to this, but I'd 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:36.200 like to maybe maybe another time. 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:40.280 But it's absolutely clear doctor Jill was, as you said, 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:45.600 forever when you could be understood that she was the 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:49.359 prime moving evil doer behind the scenes. Anyway, you Michael, 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:51.880 just so you know, Hanson's putting plans together to hide 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:56.560 your cognitive decline exactly commercials. Michael said, would you like 0:20:56.560 --> 0:21:03.159 me to drive you home after work? Wow? Jeez. So 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:07.280 what I was trying to say is from this business 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:11.640 magazine thirty alternatives to hope all is well to use 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:15.160 and work emails. Kind of weird that this is coming 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:17.760 up because I've got a bit of a problem up 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:23.520 in my personal life happening right now where I had 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:27.960 hit somebody with basically a hope all is well, and 0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:32.320 they really feel like it was a slight or a 0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:38.240 you know, like okay, great, well, you know, best wishes 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:39.960 to you too or something. It was just like it 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:46.680 was too too wrote to like no feeling or care 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:50.680 in it. I don't know specifics. Maybe well, I don't 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:53.040 know exactly how I feel bad about this because I 0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:55.440 lean on that a bit. I'm a bad person. I'll 0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:58.120 tell you the way I take it, because I get 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:01.160 hope all is well or hope to see you soon 0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:04.440 or whatever. You know, those trite phrases. I take them 0:22:04.480 --> 0:22:07.320 the way I think they're intended or the way I 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:11.320 intend them. They're like a handshake, They're a we're friends. 0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:14.399 I like you, you know, till next time. It's not a 0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:17.920 if I use the same one five times in a row. 0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:23.520 It's not a you're meaningless to me gesture. I don't think. 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:25.840 But yeah, that's funny because there's part of me that 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:28.720 thinks we're into the zone of, hey, how's it going. 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:31.199 You don't care how's it going. You're just doing that 0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:35.640
