00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: But man, the good, the great from the good. Yeah.

36
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like they say about pizza and sex. I

00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: mean it's gonna be fine from the male.

38
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 4: Point of view.

39
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: If you had sex and you burnt the roof of

40
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: your mouth, that's no good.

41
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 4: What are you.

42
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: Doing but breakfast?

43
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: Yes, to achieve a solid B is practically effort true.

44
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: But to get up to the AA plus ranking, then

45
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: you're talking some really good food.

46
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,960

00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: meal for dinner.

50
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: Tell me, I'm wrong. No, that's absolutely right, that's absolutely true.

51
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: You know I want to go to Katie's. Yeah, to

52
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,639

53
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: to spend one hundred bucks. To get the best breakfast,

54
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: you can spend twenty bucks. So you're right.

55
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, breakfast all day. That's got to be

56
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 3: my new restaurant. But I'll spell it with a like

57
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 3: Oh no, I gotta have a clever spelling, spell.

58
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 5: It like an adult.

59
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: Shoe.

60
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 6: I remember you're going to have a restaurant called Walk

61
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 6: this Way and you were in spell at w Ok.

62
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 4: That's right. Yeah. One of my many ideas.

63
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 2: Ye Chinese rest breakfast over Chinese. Yeah.

64
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 4: Maybe I'll just have a whole food court.

65
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 3: I'll like offer a suite of restaurants, like I'll buy

66
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: out a strip mall and I'll have Walk this Way

67
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 3: and then I'll have breakfast all day.

68
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 4: And then I don't know, I'll come up with some more.

69
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 3: Ideas, probably not as great as those two, it'll be good.

70
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 4: Ah.

71
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: Oh.

72
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: Speaking of which, one final side before we get into

73
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: the horrifying Ray Pee story from Nature and it's.

74
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: Worse than you think. Okay, lady, lady.

75
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: So, my old friend Drew, who worked in Mexico for

76
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: several years, a.

77
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 5: Sombrero.

78
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: It's not catching. No, have you ever been to Mexico.

79
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 4: Not everybody wears the sombrero.

80
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: You raises culture, not a costume.

81
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: Anyway, but he became aware of and this is very

82
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 3: popular in rural parts of Mexisco, especially or people of

83
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: of or not rich. Discatta it is the disc from

84
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 3: a plow that they just change a little bit with

85
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: welding and sometime it's referred to as the cowboy walk

86
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: in the United States, and it's essentially an outdoor you

87
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 3: put it over a fire walk to cook up your

88
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 3: meat and taters and vegetables or whatever. And Drew would

89
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 3: make this for a big party once a yar or so,

90
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: and it's just absolutely fantastic, and partly because we're going

91
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: to get our kitchen room modeled if the permitting ever

92
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 3: comes through. I bought one, but I need like really

93
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: good discatta recipes, including if people were like, dude, just

94
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: go to a Chinese cookbook and that's what you do,

95
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 3: or put anything in there.

96
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 4: You can't screw it up. I'm just curious. I want

97
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 4: to make the most out.

98
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 3: Of it, but it's the food is delicious, stew is

99
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: in its own juice.

100
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: The fact that it was on a disc was a

101
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: farm implement. Does that help the food or is that just.

102
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: Is that I think in the same way, like like

103
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: a cast iron frying pan cooks food a little differently,

104
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 3: and you don't like wash it with soap, you'd wipe

105
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 3: it out and it cures with the oils and stuff

106
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: like that.

107
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 4: It's one of those things. Why are you looking at

108
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 4: me like that?

109
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 5: Because you're like, oh, man, I just need some recipes.

110
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 5: I wish there was something like a like.

111
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 2: A box electronic and you could.

112
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 5: Type in de scotta recipes and then there would be lists.

113
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 4: You know what, girl, I wish there was like this thing.

114
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 4: It's like a box.

115
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 3: I don't know, some way to put letters and words

116
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: into the box and then.

117
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: Ask it I want stuff.

118
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 3: People have actually chided, I'm not gonna go out into

119
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 3: the freaking internet.

120
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 4: I've already done that.

121
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 2: It's like, I don't know anyway, but you're not wrong.

122
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: So here's the deal.

123
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: A locally famous sea otter in Canada, and you ask

124
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 3: how does an otter become famous?

125
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: Well, do you know honors? Have you seen honors. They're

126
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: cute as can be. Mm hmm.

127
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 3: You ever go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium or the

128
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 3: aquarium most convenient to you where you live. They're unbelievably

129
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: charming and charismatic. And Ali the Otter, oh, he even

130
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 3: has a cute name, has his own Facebook fan page,

131
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: Chuck full of adorable photos.

132
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: But here's the deal. So, like that squirrel, Yeah, like

133
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: Peanut the squirrel.

134
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: Oh that the State of New York killed for being

135
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 3: a conservative squirrel?

136
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: Right right?

137
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 3: He saved his nuts for winter. He didn't like go

138
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: to the government and say, Oh, it's winner, I'm hungry.

139
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:42,799
Speaker 4: You gotta give me nuts.

140
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: It's not my fault. Oh he's gaved them like a squirrel.

141
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: Should they killed him for it?

142
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 4: Anyway?

143
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 3: So Ali is a sea otter, and like sea otters,

144
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 3: sometimes he hangs out in rivers. But he's the only

145
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 3: only see otter in the immediate area. And evidently, unlike

146
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 3: my people, the Neanderthals that would get with Homo sapiens

147
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 3: and you know, make sweet caveman love, sea otters don't

148
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: get with with uh usually with river otters, huh okay,

149
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: unless they murder them first and then have sex with

150
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: their corpses. Whoa okay, says wildlife educator Molly Cameron. He's

151
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 3: the only sea otter in the immediate area. So the

152
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 3: assumption is that he does this. He kills the river

153
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 3: otters then sort of had his has his way with

154
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 3: them for multiple days to release the sexual tension of

155
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: being the only sea otter around. So ish sea otter

156
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 3: snuff films a regular thing? Or is it just this

157
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 3: one aberant sea otter that's not well? The nature expert says,

158
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 3: it's known to happen. I mean, they don't put a

159
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 3: number on it.

160
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: But Ali the otter.

161
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: Oh look at him, is suspected of murdering at least

162
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 3: twenty river otters over the last decade and having sex.

163
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 4: With their corpses.

164
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: Barbaric, it is, sir. So for days? Do they still

165
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: have the website for the necrophiliac lord?

166
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: He will carry his victims around, they say, according to

167
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 3: this nature educator, like a Teddy Bear for days.

168
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: So it's like a Jeffrey Dahmer sea otter. It's very

169
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 2: much like that.

170
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, says CBC News. That's uh, that's the network

171
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 3: up there in Canada. They have TVs now by the way. Uh,

172
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 3: and they will have all the modern conveniences when they

173
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: become our fifty first state. But CBC News talking to

174
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 3: another ottero researcher, male seatters without access to females become

175
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 3: sexually frustrating and frustrated, and the results often aren't pretty. Yeah,

176
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 3: he's what sometimes is referred to as a satellite male.

177
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 3: He's sitting there just hoping he's made a territory that's

178
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: going to have females in it, and it doesn't, so

179
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 3: instead he murders the innocent river oppers and then does

180
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: what I.

181
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,479
Speaker 2: Said in cell sea otter exactly.

182
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 5: So I'm looking at an article on vox and apparently

183
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 5: they're referring here to otters as the necrophiliac serial killing

184
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 5: fur monsters of the sea.

185
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 3: Okay, some that's a good phrase right there.

186
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 2: I appreciate that they.

187
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 5: Rape baby seals and hold others pups hostage for food.

188
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: I was just gonna mention that twenty ten scientific paper

189
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: documented cases of forced copulation between male sea otters in

190
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: California and young arbor seals.

191
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 2: This, this is wrong. They can't the baby rapers. They

192
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 2: can't be that cute and act like this. That's an

193
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: interesting stance. Well, like somebody who fills carneather king that

194
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 2: is that is interesting. So I am a third of

195
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: the way through the book Sapiens. I keep jumping back

196
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: and forth in it, and he explains in that book

197
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: what's unique about humans and they're evil from the animal world,

198
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 2: taking into the account that sometimes monkey's murder and dolphins rape,

199
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 2: and then you get the sea otter thing. It's something

200
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: to do with animals generally do it to gain something,

201
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: as opposed to the way people sometimes just do it

202
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 2: for to be cruel. Usually in the animal world it's

203
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 2: like to take over a you know, a chunk of

204
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: the jungle, or drive them out of it or whatever,

205
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 2: or to get your odd rocks off in this case.

206
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 3: Now there are cases of dolphins doing what really looks

207
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 3: like toying with their victims before they end them. But

208
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 3: in general, though, I'm sure he's right.

209
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I don't remember. I'll have to

210
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: find that again, because I thought it was really interesting you, So,

211
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: does anybody have a lighter or more humorous note?

212
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: Tend this with If I'd been thinking ahead, I would

213
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 3: have come prepared with them.

214
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 5: I apologize if after hearing that you want to hand

215
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 5: feed an otter, you can go to SeaQuest in fulsome

216
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 5: because I've done that there. Or you can hand feed them.

217
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 5: They stick their little arms through a hole in the

218
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 5: glass and they grab the shrimp out of your hand.

219
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: And that is that's got to be cute as heck,

220
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: it's so cute. But now that I know they do this,

221
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: barbaric our otters are cute. They have the advance and

222
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: some animals just have the advantage of being cute. Wow.

223
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 3: So but I mean they murder and then have sex

224
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 3: with the corpse, but they're cute.

225
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: Oh boy.

226
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 6: Don't forget when animals attack, which was on Fox at.

227
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 2: The most horrifying comedy attack ever caught.

228
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 6: On tap if you remember that, that's true story, Katie,

229
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 6: and also on Family Guide when they advertise the Fox

230
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 6: show Fast Animals, Slow Children another comedy classic.

231
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: Yes, Jack Armstrong and Joe, The Armstrong and Getty Show,

232
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, The Armstrong and Getty Show.

233
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 2: I guarantee I'm not the only person who's had this happen.

234
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: They recommend that if you're hiring well practically anybody really,

235
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 2: but I'm hiring sitters in a college town tends to

236
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 2: be college girls. Everybody recommends check their social media to

237
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 2: try to get an idea, you know, whether or not

238
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 2: you you know, you check their references, you check their

239
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: social media, that sort of stuff. Yeah, this has happened

240
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: multiple times where I'm hiring the college girl, I meet her,

241
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: she comes to my house dressed in normal clothes and

242
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: everything like that, like a normal person. And they and

243
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 2: in this case, they've turned out to be incredibly re sponsible. Great,

244
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: everything you'd want sitters. But I go to the social

245
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: media and I see them in ways that I don't

246
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 2: need to know that is there. There should be I

247
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: don't know how you would do this. There should be

248
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: some sort of social media. This is for the people

249
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: who want to hire me social media for the people

250
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: that want to date me. This is my social media.

251
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: There should be two different versions. I don't like to

252
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: see you in a thong bikini with your back toward

253
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: me bent over in the pool, and then I have

254
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: to agree with you. Do you have those links handy, No, Joe, stupid,

255
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 2: don't do that. I'm not criticizing it. That's fine. You're

256
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: a twenty one year old girl. That's what you're supposed

257
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: to do with your life and whatever. I guess now.

258
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 3: Showing your naked ass is what you're supposed to be doing.

259
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: The thong.

260
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 5: I have been a twenty one year old girl and

261
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 5: did not do that.

262
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 3: Well, some do, some don't, but again I'm not judging

263
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 3: that at all. Incredibly responsible and professionally dressed, am I house.

264
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 2: I only know this because I went to the social media,

265
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: but that's what they recommend, and there was nothing on

266
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: there that was like a red flag in terms of

267
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: wanting to hire them or whatever, and all the reference

268
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 2: was good and they've been good, so I have no complaints. OK,

269
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 2: It's just I feel weird that I've seen your ass.

270
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 2: Just words me.

271
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 3: Out that's on you that says You've said that sounds

272
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 3: like you prom I think.

273
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 5: This would make it more comfortable. Just casually bring it

274
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 5: up in conversations. So what about that picture?

275
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: Yeah?

276
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: Confront them with pictures. Yeah, I'd be like, so what

277
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 2: is this? Where were you? And why this is it? Hey?

278
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 4: That looks like a really cool beach.

279
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: Where is that that? Yeah, that's the way I do it.

280
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: That's the way I do it. That lamp that lamp

281
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: over there? Do you have any idea where I would

282
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 2: get that because that's a cool lamp.

283
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would fit in beautifully.

284
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 5: Here you can see like an inch of the beach.

285
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: It's just all ask where was that? This sand looks

286
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: very nice and solid. Yeah, you're right. Not everybody goes

287
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 2: that far, but it's fairly common though. I mean I've

288
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: had a quite a few over the last five years.

289
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: It's pretty damn common. Certainly a bikini shot that's almost guaranteed,

290
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: almost guaranteed, you're gonna see them in a bikini. And well,

291
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: I find that weird.

292
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 3: My dad never saw any of we had like two

293
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: babysitters my whole life, but I guarantee you my dad

294
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: never saw pictures of them in a bikini. Yeah, you know,

295
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 3: I have been on beaches, both coasts, various lakes, Tahoe,

296
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 3: et cetera.

297
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 2: And yeah, that's sort of.

298
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 3: Where the tiny bikini that's butt floss whatever is is

299
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 3: fairly common.

300
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I wouldn't make a big deal of that.

301
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: I didn't, and I'm not. I just think it's weird

302
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 3: that I've seen this. I wish there was a way

303
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 3: I could not I.

304
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 5: Think wearing the bikini versus taking a photo of yourself

305
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 5: in it and putting it on the internet is two

306
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,359
Speaker 5: very different.

307
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 4: Katie.

308
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: Let me let me step in here, please.

309
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 3: We have a society that overvalues the woman's physical form,

310
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 3: and so young women get the idea that that's an

311
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: important measure of their womanhood. And if they happen to

312
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 3: be like what's the term crazy hot and in the

313
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 3: best shape they'll ever be in in their lives, they

314
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 3: might want to, you know, display.

315
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 2: That little you're blaming in the patriarchy, I am, I

316
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: am quite.

317
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 5: Quite so, yes, yeah, yeah, I mean i'd like you'll.

318
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 2: See it overthrown guilty as charged.

319
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 5: There may be a bikini or two photos out there

320
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 5: of you, uh huh, yeah, but I was twenty one

321
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 5: and I'm never gonna look like that again.

322
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 2: So exactly. Yeah. Well, like I said, I'm not condemning it.

323
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: It just seems like, well, it's an interaction that didn't

324
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: used to exist, but between employer employee when it comes

325
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: to hiring, consider no doubt.

326
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 5: I have another question. Is it a photo with intention

327
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 5: to be provocative or is this just like she was

328
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 5: on the beach with her friends.

329
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: Hey, we're I'd say it's more of the latter than

330
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 2: the former. He can't help but be provocative. You're hot

331
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: in a thong. Yeah, I mean, it's just no matter

332
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: what you're doing, provoke diseasy. You could be throwing out

333
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 2: your taxes. It's still kind of provocative. Actually, that's double

334
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 2: hot to me. Wait a minute, you look like that

335
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 2: and you're good at doing taxes. Here's a ring.

336
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 4: Just think about it.

337

00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 3: Wall Street suffering it's worst day of the year, the

346
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 3: Dow closing nearly nine hundred points down after the President

347
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 3: refused to rule that.

348
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: The US could be heading into a recession. Uh yeah,

349
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 2: a lot of negative headlines about Wall Street yesterday. I'm

350
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 2: always interested in that. In that a lot, a lot,

351
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 2: a lot of Americans aren't in the stock market, and

352
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 2: it's it's I'd like to know what percentage of the

353
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: audience that watches mainstream evening news is in the stock market.

354
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 4: Other are you including four one ks in that?

355
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe not. I don't know investment, but certainly the

356
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: average person watching the evening news is not into the

357
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: daily ups and downs of the stock market. True, they're

358
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 2: in the the long you know, the long game, and

359
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 2: and and very little context ever around any of this

360
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 2: stuff anytime. And I'm not just like now, just always

361
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: there's almost no context. Biggest point, drop whatever, Sometimes they

362
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: use points because it's more dramatic. Sometimes percentage whatever, and

363
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: to go back and forth, and it's all very it's

364
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: designed to make it sound as great or as awful

365
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 2: as possible, to make it more exciting. But anyway, New

366
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 2: York christ and on. This has been a big down

367
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: for the last week and a half or whatever since

368
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 2: the Tarif announcement. No doubt about that. New York Post

369
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 2: headline today, buckle up Nasga, DAX suffers biggest loss in

370
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 2: three years, Dal falls eight ninety after Trump recession dodge,

371
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: after Trump didn't absolutely just flat out say no to

372
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: the recession question. It's amazing how much news that made

373
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 2: that one answer. And he knew that, like I said yesterday,

374
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: he's aware of that, and he doubles down on Air

375
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 2: Force one. Essentially, the significance of it is he didn't

376
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 2: say we will do everything we need to to avoid

377
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 2: a recession.

378
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 3: That's why that's significant, right, which gets to what we

379
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 3: were saying last hour. I wish he would give some

380
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 3: sort of speech where he explained what his long game

381
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: is and why I think he can get more people

382
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 3: on board or calmed down. I think that is so

383
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 3: obviously a great idea. It is shocking to me it

384
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 3: hasn't happened yet.

385
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 2: Drudge hates Trump, but his headlines economy cracks, stocks lose

386
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 2: four trillion dollars. Oh, that's one of the things about

387
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 2: the news reporting. I feel like it's for people who

388
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 2: don't understand that that money didn't actually disappear, never to

389
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 2: come back. It's that the stock is down and yeah,

390
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 2: adds up to four trillion, But unless you sold yesterday,

391
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 2: you didn't actually lose the money, and it could be

392
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 2: back up in two weeks and nothing happened.

393
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 3: I mean, well, and you quote unquote lost the money

394
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 3: from if you would have sold it three weeks ago.

395
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 3: So it's all, yeah, imaginary, it's not even on paper,

396
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 3: it's in the ether.

397
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 2: Any who so, getting to Mark Alprin's newsletter today, I

398
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: think he is a fair arbiter of these sorts of things,

399
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: and he gets a lot of He has a lot

400
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 2: of connections in left and right, Republican and Democrat. He

401
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 2: wrote this Monday, when job boning by all Trump economic

402
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 2: advisors could not stop a market selloff or deter business leaders,

403
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 2: economic analysis analysts, Paul's and Trump supporters from calling, texting,

404
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 2: and emailing me to say the sky is falling, and

405
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 2: it is in their collective view explicitly and unambiguously Trump's fault.

406
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 2: In my career, I don't recall anything quite like Mundy

407
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: as Whoosh, Team Trump lost the confidence of a bunch

408
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 2: of key actors in one fell swoop. Thought that was

409
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: interesting that behind.

410
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 3: The scenes a lot of people that normally really really

411
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 3: big on Trump werecalling Mark Aperton saying what the hell

412
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 3: is he doing? The business world, the American business world,

413
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 3: was absolutely confident that Trump would slash regulations and make

414
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 3: permanent tax cuts and that would be his main thrust.

415
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 3: This whole call it protectionism, you know, seeking a new

416
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 3: global norm for trade, whatever you want to call it,

417
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 3: is surprising to them and it's led to a great

418
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 3: deal of uncertainty.

419
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 2: Business hates uncertainty.

420
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 3: Right, And then I got to get to what I

421
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 3: was talking about yesterday, which I fully fully believe. I mean,

422
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 3: don't well feel like the Wall Street journal crowd has

423
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 3: your best interest in mind. They have the best interest

424
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 3: of like what's gonna make the Dow close higher today

425
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 3: for a lot of the crowd who actually does day

426
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 3: trade or certainly this quarter not what's best for America

427
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 3: long term. And you know, fortunately or unfortunately, I guess

428
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 3: Anne Ryan would say, that's the way it's supposed to work.

429
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 3: You know, they're looking out for themselves. That's what drives

430
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 3: the whole thing. But yeah, I would say, as a

431
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 3: guy who reads practically cover to cover the journal every

432
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 3: single day, they have a wide range of opinions and

433
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 3: writers there. Not all of them are merely chasing quarterly profits.

434
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 3: But I wanted to get to this, and I didn't

435
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 3: know this.

436
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: So Mark Alpernan has a bunch of links to a

437
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,719
Speaker 2: whole bunch of different newspaper articles talking about the how

438
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,719
Speaker 2: much damage has been done, whether it's temporary, long term,

439
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. Then this team Trump came in with

440
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 2: the theory of the case that they could rebalance the

441
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,479
Speaker 2: economy by shifting economic activity back to the private sector

442
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 2: from the public sector. It's part of the whole doge

443
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 2: thing and tariffs together. Trump advisors have said they think

444
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 2: the government is now twenty five percent of the economy.

445
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 2: Mark Awprin said, in reality, it's way higher, maybe closer

446
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: to fifty percent. Wow, what fifty percent of the economy

447
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 2: is the government with Medicare and Medicaid. No one wants

448
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 2: to admit it, but to a large extent, the US

449
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: economy has really just become the US government spending in transfers.

450
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 2: This is evidenced by the fact that we've been running

451
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 2: huge fiscal deficits during strong economic times, and the new

452
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary has proposed fixing this by cutting government spending

453
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 2: with musk combined with tariffs, to rebalance trade, to rebuild

454
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 2: American manufacturing. But to bring it home, he gets into

455
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 2: we live in a wah blah blah blah blah blah.

456
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 2: The top ten percent. Studies have shown there's a very

457
00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 2: high correlation between their propensity to spend, with spending being

458
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 2: you know, two thirds of our economies people going out

459
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 2: and spending money and where the stock prices are for

460
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 2: whatever reason, when the top ten percent are feeling wealthy,

461
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 2: they buy stuff. But if they're not feeling wealthy, they don't.

462
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 2: And this especially is true now, and this could get

463
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 2: us into a real doom loop of tariffs, negative feelings,

464
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 2: stock market going down, people pulling back, et cetera, et cetera,

465
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 2: cutting the government, which is half the economy. You see,

466
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: there's the spiral.

467
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 3: If DOGE is laying off people and cutting the government

468
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 3: and it's fifty percent of the economy, that automatically is

469
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 3: going to drop the economy, which makes the rich ten

470
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 3: percent spend less, which drops the economy.

471
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 2: And it's just that, you see, it's a cycle that

472
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 2: could catch on.

473
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. My only objection to that theory, or a question

474
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,719
Speaker 3: I have about it, is that what DOGE is doing

475
00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 3: is nibbling around the edges of the actual thing, fiscal pie.

476
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 2: Sure. I don't appreciate it because I like the edges

477
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 2: of the pie. Oh, fiscal pie ambitious. Uh. And it's

478
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 2: funny because you have conservatives saying.

479
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 3: They're they're they're not attacking entitlements and that's most of

480
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 3: the budget blah blah blah blah. But at the same time,

481
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 3: it might cause a doom loop. I just I don't

482
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 3: I don't know.

483
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: Well, nobody ever knows on any of this stuff, as

484
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 2: we've said for years, because if you were the old thing,

485
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 2: if you ask you know, ten economists, you'll get eleven opinions.

486
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 2: Or there's only two people that understand uh, the global

487
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 2: economy and they don't agree, you know, any of those sayings.

488
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 2: And but you know, if you could predict this stuff,

489
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 2: well you'd be the richest person on planet Earth, you know, immediately,

490
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 2: so that you know, there's a lot of moving pieces

491
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 2: and theory and everything like that. But I do find

492
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 2: that very troubling. Yeah, all of it's troubling.

493
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 3: I find myself imagining if Trump were to craft the

494
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 3: sort of message you've suggested, explaining exactly what his goals are,

495
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 3: why it's going to be worth enduring a bit of

496
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 3: pain or upheaval for a while, be it two years

497
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 3: or more likely five or ten or fifteen or twenty years,

498
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 3: because that would get the popular support. Doing something difficult

499
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 3: would require, because there's one thing democracies are terrible at,

500
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 3: that's doing what is difficult. Like in your family, you

501
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 3: could say, hey, we are going to severely restrict spending

502
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 3: for this year to get a down payment together to

503
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 3: buy the house, or make the investment, or open the

504
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 3: business we've long dreamed of.

505
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 4: You can do it.

506
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 3: You're on the wall of a house with a pool

507
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 3: and say this is why we're doing it.

508
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.

509
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 3: I've always been a fan of the like the thermometer

510
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 3: thing where you actually track your savings, because it gives

511
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 3: you enthusiasm for it.

512
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 4: Judy and I used to do that when we were young.

513
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 3: Anyway, as a family, you can do that. But democracies

514
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 3: are famously horrible at saying all right, we're all going

515
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 3: to endure some pain for a while an austerity plan,

516
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 3: it happens.

517
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 4: I don't think we're it's hard to get going.

518
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 2: I don't think we're grown up enough for this. I

519
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 2: think we're too used to easy sale in smooth saleing.

520
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 3: But even if Trump were to do that, though, Wall

521
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 3: Street would probably freak out for a while, and then

522
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 3: people would see it, would check their four one ks

523
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 3: and freak out, and I just I don't know if

524
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 3: we have the right stuff to institute what Trump's talking

525
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 3: about before it's a horrible emergency.

526
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 2: Well imagine if Trump or somebody representing Trump came out

527
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 2: and gave a speech says, look, half the economy is

528
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 2: the government.

529
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 3: Do you know that half the economy the government? And

530
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 3: that can't be that's not sustainable.

531
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: And our debt is this, and our deficit is this,

532
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,959
Speaker 2: and you know our payments are this, and blah blah blah.

533
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 2: And if that wasn't go ahead, sorry, there's more.

534
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 4: No, that's fine.

535
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 2: I was gonna say.

536
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 3: And if if that wasn't bad enough, folks, here's the

537
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 3: chunk of they that would collapse and you would starve

538
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 3: if China decides to jump ugly.

539
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 2: So A, we got to rain in the government.

540
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 3: B we've got to wean ourselves from being China junkies.

541
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 3: Their economic heroin is they're gonna pull it back on us,

542
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 3: and we're gonna be.

543
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: On our hands and knees and our economy is.

544
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 3: Gonna be puking and turning green and pooping on itself. Wow,

545
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 3: because they're gonna pull it out cold turkey.

546
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 2: Do you want that? Do you want that?

547
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 3: Huh? Okay, We're gonna restructure the economy. You would be

548
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 3: a disgusting economics teacher.

549
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but compelling hm uh, there's no way this works

550
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 2: because we have an election every two years. We're already

551
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 2: like a year away from constantly talking about the mid

552
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 2: terms and uh, and the Democrats are gonna run on

553
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 2: He says, we can't blah blah blah. We say you

554
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: we can blues with me.

555
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 3: Everybody says, yeah, I want everything for nothing, And there

556
00:28:59,120 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 3: you go.

557
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 2: So the summarize were doomed. I'm moving along, aren't you

558
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 2: glad you tuned in?

559
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 4: Oh boy?

560
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 2: But everybody should me and everyone we should realize we're

561
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 2: not retiring today what the stock market does today unless

562
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 2: you are retiring today somebody listening somewhere.

563
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 3: And so then I hope you would have restructured your

564
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 3: your investments.

565
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 2: If somebody somewhere on our seventy stations listening is retiring

566
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 2: today or yesterday, he retired yesterday, I understand while you're upset.

567
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: Sorry, sorry, Jack Armstrong and Joe The Armstrong and Getty Show,

568
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: arm Strong and Geeddy Show.

569
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 3: So, speaking of generations, I thought this was both amusing

570
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 3: and slightly annoying. But it's an article about how evidently

571
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 3: some demographer social researcher by the name of Mark mccrindall

572
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 3: has been come the go to guy for naming generations.

573
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 2: Never heard of this guy, And the just of the

574
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: article is.

575
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 3: That he believes the whole like coming up with a

576
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 3: groovy name for the generation and seeing if it catches

577
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 3: on is kind of dumb.

578
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 2: Well, I gotta believe that he or whoever was in charge.

579
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 2: They came up with gen X way back in the day.

580
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: I mean, this was the eighties when they started talking gen.

581
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: X and far the coolest generation name, by the way,

582
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 3: not just because of my year of birth. And then

583
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 3: at the meeting where they came up with jen Y,

584
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 3: somebody should have raised their hand and say, hey, I

585
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 3: see like a problem coming down the road we might

586
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 3: want to get ahead of with this whole lettering thing.

587
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: We're running out of letters in the alphant What are

588
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 2: we gonna do?

589
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 3: Well, you got this silent generation, who weren't silent at

590
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 3: all at the old hodown. And then you got the

591
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 3: greatest generation, a fine generation, thanks for winning World War Two.

592
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 4: But you know there's some good spot.

593
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 3: Then you at the baby boomers. So there are a

594
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 3: bunch of babies that once and now I'm a boomer,

595
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 3: the most selfish generation that had ruined everything. Oh there's

596
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 3: that is fair criticism hippies and yeah, damn hippies. And

597
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 3: then then you got Generation X, again by far the

598
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 3: coolest name. They go through a couple more letters, and

599
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 3: then they, having run out of letters, they go with millennials,

600
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 3: and then then.

601
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 4: What's the next one?

602
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter anyway, So this guy says, all right,

603
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 3: we got to quit screwing around.

604
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 4: We'll just use Greek letters.

605
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 3: Okay, so generation alpha just happened a while back, but

606
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 3: now it's generation beta.

607
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 2: When did alpha thing? Because I never even heard generation alpha?

608
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 3: I know, I know, but apparently those who talk about

609
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 3: this crap have. But anyway, the point is now it's

610
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 3: generation beta. And of course beta is an insult in

611
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 3: the modern world, right it means, for instance, a weak

612
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 3: and passive man or something. And so there are parents

613
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 3: evidently who are offended now their children are being Can

614
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 3: we stop naming generations completely?

615
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: What is a generation?

616
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 4: Even?

617
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 3: I mean Generation X fans for like twenty three years

618
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 3: or something.

619
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 2: This is crazy. Well, there's a number of problems with

620
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 2: it that are fairly obvious. But at least back.

621
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 3: In the day, you know how much changed between you know,

622
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 3: this decade and that decade.

623
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 2: Not a ton, whereas now, holy crap, if you're growing

624
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 2: up in the smartphone world, it's completely different than the

625
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 2: pre smartphone world.

626
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 3: It just is, right, So let's go with more descriptive

627
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: names like the smartphonies or or all digital weirdos or

628
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: I don't yeah, I'm just spitballing here. Uh yeah, yeah, yeah.

629
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 3: The change has been so massive so quickly, you might

630
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 3: have to go like every five and a half years, right,

631
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 3: have a new quote unquote generation if because you know,

632
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 3: mostly I think it's useless. But if I'm a boss

633
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 3: and you can say, all right, this next person we've

634
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 3: known or we've hired is a beta zoomer, and you

635
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 3: look it up and you see, oh, beta zoomers are

636
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 3: extremely insecure and need to be coddled like little kittens.

637
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 3: On the other hand, they're rebellious and blah blah. It

638
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 3: might be a tool to help you deal with them.

639
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 2: Right, It seems like giant world changing events would be

640
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 2: better than just picking years like every so many years.

641
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 2: Like I mentioned, smartphones, COVID would be a good marker

642
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 2: if you were, you know, in if you're in grade

643
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: school during COVID, you I know, teachers say those are

644
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 2: different kinds of kids. How did jen X get its name?

645
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 4: Fat?

646
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 3: I mean, what a what does that even mean? How

647
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 3: about Watergate and Vietnam made us very cynical? Plus half

648
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 3: of our parents got divorced. I mean it's kind of long,

649
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:59,719
Speaker 3: but yeah, the latch Key generation anyway, Yeah, don't call

650
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 3: them Generation Beta.

651
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 2: It's hurtful, so so dumb.

652
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 3: Did you know that seventy percent of TikTok's revenue comes

653
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 3: from live streaming gifts. When people are doing live streamy stuff,

654
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: you gifts or gifts gifts like presents. Yes, you can

655
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 3: give people these little things that are called what are

656
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 3: they called, their like little tokens.

657
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 4: That they can redeem into real money.

658
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 3: It's huge into sex live streaming. We need someone younger

659
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 3: than us, Katie. Well, I'm trying to explain it to you,

660
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 3: you old man. I need somebody who's done it.

661
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's you.

662
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 5: Just go on and they have different dollar amounts so

663
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 5: you can send from fifty cents up to one thousand dollars,

664
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 5: I think.

665
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 3: To tip them digitally exactly. That was a digital tipsy.

666
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 3: Why did this catch on? Is it just easier or

667
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 3: more fun or well as opposed to and mowing them

668
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 3: or sending them a car. Oh, it's immeasurably easier. You

669
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 3: have an account, you click click, they get a dollar

670
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 3: of your money and then they can show you their

671
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 3: blankety blank or whatever. And TikTok allegedly has filters for this,

672
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 3: but they're super easy to get around. You use just

673
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 3: use slang terms, including local slang terms. Because it's a

674
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 3: global app. And so there's an enormous child porn market

675
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 3: on TikTok. These underage girls from all over the world,

676
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 3: who will you know, perform various acts or show off

677
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 3: or whatever, and and TikTok gets a cut of that. Well,

678
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 3: first of all, I'll show you whatever part you want

679
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 3: to see for a five spot.

680
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 2: If there's any demand, give you a ten not to

681
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 2: That's what I'll do.

682
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 3: I'll start a bidding war, and that's will I'll make

683
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 3: my money and they please don't.

684
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 2: Well went out, but I'll be the benefit. It's not temptation,

685
00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 2: it's extortion. I'll it's Runny's threat.

686
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong and Joe Gatty, the Armstrong and Daddy Joe

687
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:09,160
