<v Speaker 5>in the Bay Area in California that's called Katie's Corner,

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.119
<v Speaker 5>and they have the best eggs Benedict.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and it's spelled Katie's with a Y, corner with

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 5>a K.

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.399
<v Speaker 2>I take breakfast places more seriously than any other kind

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 2>of restaurant. Love a good breakfast place.

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.919
<v Speaker 5>Oh it's hard, it's hard to mess up breakfast, I feel.

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 2>But man, the good, the great from the good. Yeah.

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's like they say about pizza and sex. I

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 3>mean it's gonna be fine from the male.

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 4>Point of view.

0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 2>If you had sex and you burnt the roof of

0:01:58.480 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 2>your mouth, that's no good.

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 4>What are you.

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Doing but breakfast?

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 3>Yes, to achieve a solid B is practically effort true.

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 3>But to get up to the AA plus ranking, then

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 3>you're talking some really good food.

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:13.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean crazy good.

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean you get you spend twenty dollars on your breakfast,

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.639
<v Speaker 3>you have had deliciousness on par with a seventy dollars

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 3>meal for dinner.

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Tell me, I'm wrong. No, that's absolutely right, that's absolutely true.

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.120
<v Speaker 2>You know I want to go to Katie's. Yeah, to

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.639
<v Speaker 2>get today, to get the best steak, you're gonna have

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 2>to spend one hundred bucks. To get the best breakfast,

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 2>you can spend twenty bucks. So you're right.

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, yeah, breakfast all day. That's got to be

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.640
<v Speaker 3>my new restaurant. But I'll spell it with a like

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, I gotta have a clever spelling, spell.

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 5>It like an adult.

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 3>Shoe.

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 6>I remember you're going to have a restaurant called Walk

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 6>this Way and you were in spell at w Ok.

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 4>That's right. Yeah. One of my many ideas.

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.519
<v Speaker 2>Ye Chinese rest breakfast over Chinese. Yeah.

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 4>Maybe I'll just have a whole food court.

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.080
<v Speaker 3>I'll like offer a suite of restaurants, like I'll buy

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 3>out a strip mall and I'll have Walk this Way

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 3>and then I'll have breakfast all day.

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:12.959
<v Speaker 4>And then I don't know, I'll come up with some more.

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 3>Ideas, probably not as great as those two, it'll be good.

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:21.839
<v Speaker 4>Ah.

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh.

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 3>Speaking of which, one final side before we get into

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 3>the horrifying Ray Pee story from Nature and it's.

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:33.919
<v Speaker 2>Worse than you think. Okay, lady, lady.

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 3>So, my old friend Drew, who worked in Mexico for

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 3>several years, a.

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 5>Sombrero.

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 2>It's not catching. No, have you ever been to Mexico.

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 4>Not everybody wears the sombrero.

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 2>You raises culture, not a costume.

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, but he became aware of and this is very

0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 3>popular in rural parts of Mexisco, especially or people of

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 3>of or not rich. Discatta it is the disc from

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 3>a plow that they just change a little bit with

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 3>welding and sometime it's referred to as the cowboy walk

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 3>in the United States, and it's essentially an outdoor you

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.720
<v Speaker 3>put it over a fire walk to cook up your

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.720
<v Speaker 3>meat and taters and vegetables or whatever. And Drew would

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:25.279
<v Speaker 3>make this for a big party once a yar or so,

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.680
<v Speaker 3>and it's just absolutely fantastic, and partly because we're going

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 3>to get our kitchen room modeled if the permitting ever

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 3>comes through. I bought one, but I need like really

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 3>good discatta recipes, including if people were like, dude, just

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 3>go to a Chinese cookbook and that's what you do,

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 3>or put anything in there.

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 4>You can't screw it up. I'm just curious. I want

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 4>to make the most out.

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 3>Of it, but it's the food is delicious, stew is

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 3>in its own juice.

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 2>The fact that it was on a disc was a

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 2>farm implement. Does that help the food or is that just.

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 3>Is that I think in the same way, like like

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 3>a cast iron frying pan cooks food a little differently,

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.799
<v Speaker 3>and you don't like wash it with soap, you'd wipe

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.920
<v Speaker 3>it out and it cures with the oils and stuff

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 3>like that.

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 4>It's one of those things. Why are you looking at

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:15.840
<v Speaker 4>me like that?

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 5>Because you're like, oh, man, I just need some recipes.

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 5>I wish there was something like a like.

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.720
<v Speaker 2>A box electronic and you could.

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 5>Type in de scotta recipes and then there would be lists.

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 4>You know what, girl, I wish there was like this thing.

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:36.799
<v Speaker 4>It's like a box.

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.839
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, some way to put letters and words

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 3>into the box and then.

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Ask it I want stuff.

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:47.840
<v Speaker 3>People have actually chided, I'm not gonna go out into

0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:48.720
<v Speaker 3>the freaking internet.

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 4>I've already done that.

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.359
<v Speaker 2>It's like, I don't know anyway, but you're not wrong.

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 2>So here's the deal.

0:05:56.000 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 3>A locally famous sea otter in Canada, and you ask

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 3>how does an otter become famous?

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, do you know honors? Have you seen honors. They're

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 2>cute as can be. Mm hmm.

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.599
<v Speaker 3>You ever go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium or the

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 3>aquarium most convenient to you where you live. They're unbelievably

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.800
<v Speaker 3>charming and charismatic. And Ali the Otter, oh, he even

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:23.279
<v Speaker 3>has a cute name, has his own Facebook fan page,

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 3>Chuck full of adorable photos.

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:31.240
<v Speaker 2>But here's the deal. So, like that squirrel, Yeah, like

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Peanut the squirrel.

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh that the State of New York killed for being

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 3>a conservative squirrel?

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Right right?

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.159
<v Speaker 3>He saved his nuts for winter. He didn't like go

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.560
<v Speaker 3>to the government and say, Oh, it's winner, I'm hungry.

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:42.799
<v Speaker 4>You gotta give me nuts.

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.880
<v Speaker 2>It's not my fault. Oh he's gaved them like a squirrel.

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Should they killed him for it?

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 4>Anyway?

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.359
<v Speaker 3>So Ali is a sea otter, and like sea otters,

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:59.920
<v Speaker 3>sometimes he hangs out in rivers. But he's the only

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.839
<v Speaker 3>only see otter in the immediate area. And evidently, unlike

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.720
<v Speaker 3>my people, the Neanderthals that would get with Homo sapiens

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 3>and you know, make sweet caveman love, sea otters don't

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 3>get with with uh usually with river otters, huh okay,

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 3>unless they murder them first and then have sex with

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 3>their corpses. Whoa okay, says wildlife educator Molly Cameron. He's

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 3>the only sea otter in the immediate area. So the

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 3>assumption is that he does this. He kills the river

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 3>otters then sort of had his has his way with

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 3>them for multiple days to release the sexual tension of

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 3>being the only sea otter around. So ish sea otter

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 3>snuff films a regular thing? Or is it just this

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 3>one aberant sea otter that's not well? The nature expert says,

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 3>it's known to happen. I mean, they don't put a

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 3>number on it.

0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 2>But Ali the otter.

0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh look at him, is suspected of murdering at least

0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 3>twenty river otters over the last decade and having sex.

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 4>With their corpses.

0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Barbaric, it is, sir. So for days? Do they still

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 2>have the website for the necrophiliac lord?

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 3>He will carry his victims around, they say, according to

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 3>this nature educator, like a Teddy Bear for days.

0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:31.560
<v Speaker 2>So it's like a Jeffrey Dahmer sea otter. It's very

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:32.439
<v Speaker 2>much like that.

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:40.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, wow, says CBC News. That's uh, that's the network

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:44.559
<v Speaker 3>up there in Canada. They have TVs now by the way. Uh,

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.680
<v Speaker 3>and they will have all the modern conveniences when they

0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 3>become our fifty first state. But CBC News talking to

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:54.720
<v Speaker 3>another ottero researcher, male seatters without access to females become

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:59.840
<v Speaker 3>sexually frustrating and frustrated, and the results often aren't pretty. Yeah,

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 3>he's what sometimes is referred to as a satellite male.

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 3>He's sitting there just hoping he's made a territory that's

0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 3>going to have females in it, and it doesn't, so

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 3>instead he murders the innocent river oppers and then does

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 3>what I.

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.479
<v Speaker 2>Said in cell sea otter exactly.

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 5>So I'm looking at an article on vox and apparently

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 5>they're referring here to otters as the necrophiliac serial killing

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 5>fur monsters of the sea.

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.719
<v Speaker 3>Okay, some that's a good phrase right there.

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that they.

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 5>Rape baby seals and hold others pups hostage for food.

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 3>I was just gonna mention that twenty ten scientific paper

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:48.400
<v Speaker 3>documented cases of forced copulation between male sea otters in

0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 3>California and young arbor seals.

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:54.719
<v Speaker 2>This, this is wrong. They can't the baby rapers. They

0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.320
<v Speaker 2>can't be that cute and act like this. That's an

0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 2>interesting stance. Well, like somebody who fills carneather king that

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:10.679
<v Speaker 2>is that is interesting. So I am a third of

0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 2>the way through the book Sapiens. I keep jumping back

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.720
<v Speaker 2>and forth in it, and he explains in that book

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 2>what's unique about humans and they're evil from the animal world,

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:27.319
<v Speaker 2>taking into the account that sometimes monkey's murder and dolphins rape,

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.120
<v Speaker 2>and then you get the sea otter thing. It's something

0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:33.680
<v Speaker 2>to do with animals generally do it to gain something,

0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:37.840
<v Speaker 2>as opposed to the way people sometimes just do it

0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:42.680
<v Speaker 2>for to be cruel. Usually in the animal world it's

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:47.079
<v Speaker 2>like to take over a you know, a chunk of

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 2>the jungle, or drive them out of it or whatever,

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:52.959
<v Speaker 2>or to get your odd rocks off in this case.

0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:58.720
<v Speaker 3>Now there are cases of dolphins doing what really looks

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 3>like toying with their victims before they end them. But

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.320
<v Speaker 3>in general, though, I'm sure he's right.

0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know. I don't remember. I'll have to

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 2>find that again, because I thought it was really interesting you, So,

0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:14.600
<v Speaker 2>does anybody have a lighter or more humorous note?

0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 3>Tend this with If I'd been thinking ahead, I would

0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.160
<v Speaker 3>have come prepared with them.

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.079
<v Speaker 5>I apologize if after hearing that you want to hand

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:24.120
<v Speaker 5>feed an otter, you can go to SeaQuest in fulsome

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.200
<v Speaker 5>because I've done that there. Or you can hand feed them.

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 5>They stick their little arms through a hole in the

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 5>glass and they grab the shrimp out of your hand.

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.520
<v Speaker 2>And that is that's got to be cute as heck,

0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 2>it's so cute. But now that I know they do this,

0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 2>barbaric our otters are cute. They have the advance and

0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 2>some animals just have the advantage of being cute. Wow.

0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:46.240
<v Speaker 3>So but I mean they murder and then have sex

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 3>with the corpse, but they're cute.

0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy.

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.080
<v Speaker 6>Don't forget when animals attack, which was on Fox at.

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.199
<v Speaker 2>The most horrifying comedy attack ever caught.

0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:00.559
<v Speaker 6>On tap if you remember that, that's true story, Katie,

0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.559
<v Speaker 6>and also on Family Guide when they advertise the Fox

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:08.360
<v Speaker 6>show Fast Animals, Slow Children another comedy classic.

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Jack Armstrong and Joe, The Armstrong and Getty Show,

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 2>I guarantee I'm not the only person who's had this happen.

0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:34.240
<v Speaker 2>They recommend that if you're hiring well practically anybody really,

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:37.600
<v Speaker 2>but I'm hiring sitters in a college town tends to

0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:42.200
<v Speaker 2>be college girls. Everybody recommends check their social media to

0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.560
<v Speaker 2>try to get an idea, you know, whether or not

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 2>you you know, you check their references, you check their

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.640
<v Speaker 2>social media, that sort of stuff. Yeah, this has happened

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 2>multiple times where I'm hiring the college girl, I meet her,

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:54.720
<v Speaker 2>she comes to my house dressed in normal clothes and

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.120
<v Speaker 2>everything like that, like a normal person. And they and

0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:02.079
<v Speaker 2>in this case, they've turned out to be incredibly re sponsible. Great,

0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.640
<v Speaker 2>everything you'd want sitters. But I go to the social

0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 2>media and I see them in ways that I don't

0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.120
<v Speaker 2>need to know that is there. There should be I

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 2>don't know how you would do this. There should be

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 2>some sort of social media. This is for the people

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.080
<v Speaker 2>who want to hire me social media for the people

0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 2>that want to date me. This is my social media.

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.160
<v Speaker 2>There should be two different versions. I don't like to

0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 2>see you in a thong bikini with your back toward

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 2>me bent over in the pool, and then I have

0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:34.400
<v Speaker 2>to agree with you. Do you have those links handy, No, Joe, stupid,

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.839
<v Speaker 2>don't do that. I'm not criticizing it. That's fine. You're

0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.480
<v Speaker 2>a twenty one year old girl. That's what you're supposed

0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 2>to do with your life and whatever. I guess now.

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 3>Showing your naked ass is what you're supposed to be doing.

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:50.560
<v Speaker 2>The thong.

0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:52.840
<v Speaker 5>I have been a twenty one year old girl and

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:53.720
<v Speaker 5>did not do that.

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, some do, some don't, but again I'm not judging

0:13:56.280 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 3>that at all. Incredibly responsible and professionally dressed, am I house.

0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I only know this because I went to the social media,

0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:04.760
<v Speaker 2>but that's what they recommend, and there was nothing on

0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:06.400
<v Speaker 2>there that was like a red flag in terms of

0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 2>wanting to hire them or whatever, and all the reference

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.960
<v Speaker 2>was good and they've been good, so I have no complaints. OK,

0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.559
<v Speaker 2>It's just I feel weird that I've seen your ass.

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Just words me.

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:18.439
<v Speaker 3>Out that's on you that says You've said that sounds

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.720
<v Speaker 3>like you prom I think.

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 5>This would make it more comfortable. Just casually bring it

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 5>up in conversations. So what about that picture?

0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Confront them with pictures. Yeah, I'd be like, so what

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 2>is this? Where were you? And why this is it? Hey?

0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:32.160
<v Speaker 4>That looks like a really cool beach.

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Where is that that? Yeah, that's the way I do it.

0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 2>That's the way I do it. That lamp that lamp

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:39.600
<v Speaker 2>over there? Do you have any idea where I would

0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:41.000
<v Speaker 2>get that because that's a cool lamp.

0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:42.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that would fit in beautifully.

0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.240
<v Speaker 5>Here you can see like an inch of the beach.

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 2>It's just all ask where was that? This sand looks

0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:54.560
<v Speaker 2>very nice and solid. Yeah, you're right. Not everybody goes

0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:57.720
<v Speaker 2>that far, but it's fairly common though. I mean I've

0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 2>had a quite a few over the last five years.

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty damn common. Certainly a bikini shot that's almost guaranteed,

0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 2>almost guaranteed, you're gonna see them in a bikini. And well,

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 2>I find that weird.

0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.560
<v Speaker 3>My dad never saw any of we had like two

0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 3>babysitters my whole life, but I guarantee you my dad

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.880
<v Speaker 3>never saw pictures of them in a bikini. Yeah, you know,

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:21.640
<v Speaker 3>I have been on beaches, both coasts, various lakes, Tahoe,

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:22.200
<v Speaker 3>et cetera.

0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.040
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, that's sort of.

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:28.720
<v Speaker 3>Where the tiny bikini that's butt floss whatever is is

0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:29.320
<v Speaker 3>fairly common.

0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I wouldn't make a big deal of that.

0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 3>I didn't, and I'm not. I just think it's weird

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 3>that I've seen this. I wish there was a way

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.520
<v Speaker 3>I could not I.

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:41.560
<v Speaker 5>Think wearing the bikini versus taking a photo of yourself

0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:43.200
<v Speaker 5>in it and putting it on the internet is two

0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:44.359
<v Speaker 5>very different.

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 4>Katie.

0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Let me let me step in here, please.

0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 3>We have a society that overvalues the woman's physical form,

0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.160
<v Speaker 3>and so young women get the idea that that's an

0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.800
<v Speaker 3>important measure of their womanhood. And if they happen to

0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:04.120
<v Speaker 3>be like what's the term crazy hot and in the

0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 3>best shape they'll ever be in in their lives, they

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.320
<v Speaker 3>might want to, you know, display.

0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 2>That little you're blaming in the patriarchy, I am, I

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 2>am quite.

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 5>Quite so, yes, yeah, yeah, I mean i'd like you'll.

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 2>See it overthrown guilty as charged.

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:23.280
<v Speaker 5>There may be a bikini or two photos out there

0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.720
<v Speaker 5>of you, uh huh, yeah, but I was twenty one

0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:28.640
<v Speaker 5>and I'm never gonna look like that again.

0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:32.960
<v Speaker 2>So exactly. Yeah. Well, like I said, I'm not condemning it.

0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.840
<v Speaker 2>It just seems like, well, it's an interaction that didn't

0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:39.880
<v Speaker 2>used to exist, but between employer employee when it comes

0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:41.560
<v Speaker 2>to hiring, consider no doubt.

0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:45.520
<v Speaker 5>I have another question. Is it a photo with intention

0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:48.440
<v Speaker 5>to be provocative or is this just like she was

0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.000
<v Speaker 5>on the beach with her friends.

0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Hey, we're I'd say it's more of the latter than

0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:55.480
<v Speaker 2>the former. He can't help but be provocative. You're hot

0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.560
<v Speaker 2>in a thong. Yeah, I mean, it's just no matter

0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:01.400
<v Speaker 2>what you're doing, provoke diseasy. You could be throwing out

0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:05.320
<v Speaker 2>your taxes. It's still kind of provocative. Actually, that's double

0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:07.919
<v Speaker 2>hot to me. Wait a minute, you look like that

0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.880
<v Speaker 2>and you're good at doing taxes. Here's a ring.

0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:12.040

<v Speaker 2>audience that watches mainstream evening news is in the stock market.

0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.520
<v Speaker 4>Other are you including four one ks in that?

0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe not. I don't know investment, but certainly the

0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 2>average person watching the evening news is not into the

0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:36.080
<v Speaker 2>daily ups and downs of the stock market. True, they're

0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:43.320
<v Speaker 2>in the the long you know, the long game, and

0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:48.000
<v Speaker 2>and and very little context ever around any of this

0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:51.159
<v Speaker 2>stuff anytime. And I'm not just like now, just always

0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:57.200
<v Speaker 2>there's almost no context. Biggest point, drop whatever, Sometimes they

0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:01.280
<v Speaker 2>use points because it's more dramatic. Sometimes percentage whatever, and

0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 2>to go back and forth, and it's all very it's

0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:07.560
<v Speaker 2>designed to make it sound as great or as awful

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:09.879
<v Speaker 2>as possible, to make it more exciting. But anyway, New

0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:12.920
<v Speaker 2>York christ and on. This has been a big down

0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 2>for the last week and a half or whatever since

0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:17.680
<v Speaker 2>the Tarif announcement. No doubt about that. New York Post

0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:21.679
<v Speaker 2>headline today, buckle up Nasga, DAX suffers biggest loss in

0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:25.359
<v Speaker 2>three years, Dal falls eight ninety after Trump recession dodge,

0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:28.840
<v Speaker 2>after Trump didn't absolutely just flat out say no to

0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:32.520
<v Speaker 2>the recession question. It's amazing how much news that made

0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.680
<v Speaker 2>that one answer. And he knew that, like I said yesterday,

0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:39.480
<v Speaker 2>he's aware of that, and he doubles down on Air

0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Force one. Essentially, the significance of it is he didn't

0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:46.639
<v Speaker 2>say we will do everything we need to to avoid

0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:47.200
<v Speaker 2>a recession.

0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:50.040
<v Speaker 3>That's why that's significant, right, which gets to what we

0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:52.000
<v Speaker 3>were saying last hour. I wish he would give some

0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.560
<v Speaker 3>sort of speech where he explained what his long game

0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:57.240
<v Speaker 3>is and why I think he can get more people

0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:00.199
<v Speaker 3>on board or calmed down. I think that is so

0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:03.760
<v Speaker 3>obviously a great idea. It is shocking to me it

0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:04.760
<v Speaker 3>hasn't happened yet.

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:10.359
<v Speaker 2>Drudge hates Trump, but his headlines economy cracks, stocks lose

0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:13.120
<v Speaker 2>four trillion dollars. Oh, that's one of the things about

0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:15.920
<v Speaker 2>the news reporting. I feel like it's for people who

0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:19.800
<v Speaker 2>don't understand that that money didn't actually disappear, never to

0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:22.160
<v Speaker 2>come back. It's that the stock is down and yeah,

0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:25.479
<v Speaker 2>adds up to four trillion, But unless you sold yesterday,

0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:27.159
<v Speaker 2>you didn't actually lose the money, and it could be

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.200
<v Speaker 2>back up in two weeks and nothing happened.

0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:31.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean, well, and you quote unquote lost the money

0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:34.240
<v Speaker 3>from if you would have sold it three weeks ago.

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:36.960
<v Speaker 3>So it's all, yeah, imaginary, it's not even on paper,

0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:37.840
<v Speaker 3>it's in the ether.

0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:41.119
<v Speaker 2>Any who so, getting to Mark Alprin's newsletter today, I

0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:43.000
<v Speaker 2>think he is a fair arbiter of these sorts of things,

0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:46.760
<v Speaker 2>and he gets a lot of He has a lot

0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:51.399
<v Speaker 2>of connections in left and right, Republican and Democrat. He

0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:55.520
<v Speaker 2>wrote this Monday, when job boning by all Trump economic

0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:59.000
<v Speaker 2>advisors could not stop a market selloff or deter business leaders,

0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:03.800
<v Speaker 2>economic analysis analysts, Paul's and Trump supporters from calling, texting,

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:06.760
<v Speaker 2>and emailing me to say the sky is falling, and

0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:10.600
<v Speaker 2>it is in their collective view explicitly and unambiguously Trump's fault.

0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:14.479
<v Speaker 2>In my career, I don't recall anything quite like Mundy

0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:17.800
<v Speaker 2>as Whoosh, Team Trump lost the confidence of a bunch

0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:21.159
<v Speaker 2>of key actors in one fell swoop. Thought that was

0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:22.520
<v Speaker 2>interesting that behind.

0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:25.040
<v Speaker 3>The scenes a lot of people that normally really really

0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:27.760
<v Speaker 3>big on Trump werecalling Mark Aperton saying what the hell

0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:33.040
<v Speaker 3>is he doing? The business world, the American business world,

0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:37.240
<v Speaker 3>was absolutely confident that Trump would slash regulations and make

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:40.720
<v Speaker 3>permanent tax cuts and that would be his main thrust.

0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:45.280
<v Speaker 3>This whole call it protectionism, you know, seeking a new

0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:48.280
<v Speaker 3>global norm for trade, whatever you want to call it,

0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:50.640
<v Speaker 3>is surprising to them and it's led to a great

0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:51.480
<v Speaker 3>deal of uncertainty.

0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Business hates uncertainty.

0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:56.080
<v Speaker 3>Right, And then I got to get to what I

0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:59.040
<v Speaker 3>was talking about yesterday, which I fully fully believe. I mean,

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:02.600
<v Speaker 3>don't well feel like the Wall Street journal crowd has

0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:05.359
<v Speaker 3>your best interest in mind. They have the best interest

0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:08.400
<v Speaker 3>of like what's gonna make the Dow close higher today

0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:10.720
<v Speaker 3>for a lot of the crowd who actually does day

0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:14.200
<v Speaker 3>trade or certainly this quarter not what's best for America

0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:17.200
<v Speaker 3>long term. And you know, fortunately or unfortunately, I guess

0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:20.080
<v Speaker 3>Anne Ryan would say, that's the way it's supposed to work.

0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:22.040
<v Speaker 3>You know, they're looking out for themselves. That's what drives

0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:25.200
<v Speaker 3>the whole thing. But yeah, I would say, as a

0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:28.400
<v Speaker 3>guy who reads practically cover to cover the journal every

0:22:28.400 --> 0:22:33.879
<v Speaker 3>single day, they have a wide range of opinions and

0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:38.200
<v Speaker 3>writers there. Not all of them are merely chasing quarterly profits.

0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:43.440
<v Speaker 3>But I wanted to get to this, and I didn't

0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:43.679
<v Speaker 3>know this.

0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:45.840
<v Speaker 2>So Mark Alpernan has a bunch of links to a

0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:49.719
<v Speaker 2>whole bunch of different newspaper articles talking about the how

0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:52.719
<v Speaker 2>much damage has been done, whether it's temporary, long term,

0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:55.439
<v Speaker 2>blah blah blah. Then this team Trump came in with

0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:57.560
<v Speaker 2>the theory of the case that they could rebalance the

0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:01.479
<v Speaker 2>economy by shifting economic activity back to the private sector

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:04.359
<v Speaker 2>from the public sector. It's part of the whole doge

0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:08.240
<v Speaker 2>thing and tariffs together. Trump advisors have said they think

0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:12.240
<v Speaker 2>the government is now twenty five percent of the economy.

0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Mark Awprin said, in reality, it's way higher, maybe closer

0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:22.560
<v Speaker 2>to fifty percent. Wow, what fifty percent of the economy

0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:25.920
<v Speaker 2>is the government with Medicare and Medicaid. No one wants

0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:28.080
<v Speaker 2>to admit it, but to a large extent, the US

0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:32.000
<v Speaker 2>economy has really just become the US government spending in transfers.

0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:34.640
<v Speaker 2>This is evidenced by the fact that we've been running

0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:38.120
<v Speaker 2>huge fiscal deficits during strong economic times, and the new

0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:41.439
<v Speaker 2>Treasury Secretary has proposed fixing this by cutting government spending

0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:44.679
<v Speaker 2>with musk combined with tariffs, to rebalance trade, to rebuild

0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:48.119
<v Speaker 2>American manufacturing. But to bring it home, he gets into

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:50.360
<v Speaker 2>we live in a wah blah blah blah blah blah.

0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:55.840
<v Speaker 2>The top ten percent. Studies have shown there's a very

0:23:55.880 --> 0:24:01.160
<v Speaker 2>high correlation between their propensity to spend, with spending being

0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:03.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, two thirds of our economies people going out

0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:09.439
<v Speaker 2>and spending money and where the stock prices are for

0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:13.080
<v Speaker 2>whatever reason, when the top ten percent are feeling wealthy,

0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:17.159
<v Speaker 2>they buy stuff. But if they're not feeling wealthy, they don't.

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:20.919
<v Speaker 2>And this especially is true now, and this could get

0:24:21.000 --> 0:24:27.959
<v Speaker 2>us into a real doom loop of tariffs, negative feelings,

0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:30.840
<v Speaker 2>stock market going down, people pulling back, et cetera, et cetera,

0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:33.920
<v Speaker 2>cutting the government, which is half the economy. You see,

0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:34.800
<v Speaker 2>there's the spiral.

0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:37.600
<v Speaker 3>If DOGE is laying off people and cutting the government

0:24:37.600 --> 0:24:40.240
<v Speaker 3>and it's fifty percent of the economy, that automatically is

0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:42.400
<v Speaker 3>going to drop the economy, which makes the rich ten

0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 3>percent spend less, which drops the economy.

0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:46.359
<v Speaker 2>And it's just that, you see, it's a cycle that

0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:46.960
<v Speaker 2>could catch on.

0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:51.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. My only objection to that theory, or a question

0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:54.719
<v Speaker 3>I have about it, is that what DOGE is doing

0:24:55.720 --> 0:25:00.920
<v Speaker 3>is nibbling around the edges of the actual thing, fiscal pie.

0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Sure. I don't appreciate it because I like the edges

0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:08.960
<v Speaker 2>of the pie. Oh, fiscal pie ambitious. Uh. And it's

0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:11.160
<v Speaker 2>funny because you have conservatives saying.

0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:13.960
<v Speaker 3>They're they're they're not attacking entitlements and that's most of

0:25:13.960 --> 0:25:17.400
<v Speaker 3>the budget blah blah blah blah. But at the same time,

0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:19.720
<v Speaker 3>it might cause a doom loop. I just I don't

0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:20.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, nobody ever knows on any of this stuff, as

0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:29.960
<v Speaker 2>we've said for years, because if you were the old thing,

0:25:30.000 --> 0:25:32.600
<v Speaker 2>if you ask you know, ten economists, you'll get eleven opinions.

0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:38.359
<v Speaker 2>Or there's only two people that understand uh, the global

0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:42.359
<v Speaker 2>economy and they don't agree, you know, any of those sayings.

0:25:42.440 --> 0:25:44.600
<v Speaker 2>And but you know, if you could predict this stuff,

0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:47.960
<v Speaker 2>well you'd be the richest person on planet Earth, you know, immediately,

0:25:49.200 --> 0:25:51.120
<v Speaker 2>so that you know, there's a lot of moving pieces

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:53.400
<v Speaker 2>and theory and everything like that. But I do find

0:25:53.440 --> 0:25:57.040
<v Speaker 2>that very troubling. Yeah, all of it's troubling.

0:25:57.640 --> 0:26:00.119
<v Speaker 3>I find myself imagining if Trump were to craft the

0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 3>sort of message you've suggested, explaining exactly what his goals are,

0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:07.480
<v Speaker 3>why it's going to be worth enduring a bit of

0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:10.920
<v Speaker 3>pain or upheaval for a while, be it two years

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:13.320
<v Speaker 3>or more likely five or ten or fifteen or twenty years,

0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:19.440
<v Speaker 3>because that would get the popular support. Doing something difficult

0:26:19.680 --> 0:26:23.240
<v Speaker 3>would require, because there's one thing democracies are terrible at,

0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:27.359
<v Speaker 3>that's doing what is difficult. Like in your family, you

0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:31.360
<v Speaker 3>could say, hey, we are going to severely restrict spending

0:26:31.400 --> 0:26:34.159
<v Speaker 3>for this year to get a down payment together to

0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:37.000
<v Speaker 3>buy the house, or make the investment, or open the

0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:38.159
<v Speaker 3>business we've long dreamed of.

0:26:38.640 --> 0:26:39.000
<v Speaker 4>You can do it.

0:26:39.080 --> 0:26:40.639
<v Speaker 3>You're on the wall of a house with a pool

0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:42.000
<v Speaker 3>and say this is why we're doing it.

0:26:42.560 --> 0:26:43.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know.

0:26:43.200 --> 0:26:45.520
<v Speaker 3>I've always been a fan of the like the thermometer

0:26:45.640 --> 0:26:49.040
<v Speaker 3>thing where you actually track your savings, because it gives

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:50.240
<v Speaker 3>you enthusiasm for it.

0:26:50.320 --> 0:26:51.920
<v Speaker 4>Judy and I used to do that when we were young.

0:26:52.119 --> 0:26:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, as a family, you can do that. But democracies

0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:59.199
<v Speaker 3>are famously horrible at saying all right, we're all going

0:26:59.280 --> 0:27:02.119
<v Speaker 3>to endure some pain for a while an austerity plan,

0:27:02.320 --> 0:27:02.960
<v Speaker 3>it happens.

0:27:03.040 --> 0:27:04.560
<v Speaker 4>I don't think we're it's hard to get going.

0:27:04.640 --> 0:27:07.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't think we're grown up enough for this. I

0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:10.639
<v Speaker 2>think we're too used to easy sale in smooth saleing.

0:27:11.280 --> 0:27:14.680
<v Speaker 3>But even if Trump were to do that, though, Wall

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:18.160
<v Speaker 3>Street would probably freak out for a while, and then

0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:21.280
<v Speaker 3>people would see it, would check their four one ks

0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:26.040
<v Speaker 3>and freak out, and I just I don't know if

0:27:26.080 --> 0:27:31.119
<v Speaker 3>we have the right stuff to institute what Trump's talking

0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:35.199
<v Speaker 3>about before it's a horrible emergency.

0:27:35.359 --> 0:27:38.399
<v Speaker 2>Well imagine if Trump or somebody representing Trump came out

0:27:38.440 --> 0:27:41.240
<v Speaker 2>and gave a speech says, look, half the economy is

0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:41.800
<v Speaker 2>the government.

0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:44.280
<v Speaker 3>Do you know that half the economy the government? And

0:27:44.320 --> 0:27:46.200
<v Speaker 3>that can't be that's not sustainable.

0:27:46.280 --> 0:27:48.280
<v Speaker 2>And our debt is this, and our deficit is this,

0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:51.959
<v Speaker 2>and you know our payments are this, and blah blah blah.

0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:54.640
<v Speaker 2>And if that wasn't go ahead, sorry, there's more.

0:27:54.880 --> 0:27:55.639
<v Speaker 4>No, that's fine.

0:27:55.800 --> 0:27:56.440
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say.

0:27:56.440 --> 0:27:59.240
<v Speaker 3>And if if that wasn't bad enough, folks, here's the

0:27:59.320 --> 0:28:03.040
<v Speaker 3>chunk of they that would collapse and you would starve

0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:05.439
<v Speaker 3>if China decides to jump ugly.

0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:08.040
<v Speaker 2>So A, we got to rain in the government.

0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:11.679
<v Speaker 3>B we've got to wean ourselves from being China junkies.

0:28:12.000 --> 0:28:16.160
<v Speaker 3>Their economic heroin is they're gonna pull it back on us,

0:28:16.280 --> 0:28:16.919
<v Speaker 3>and we're gonna be.

0:28:16.920 --> 0:28:19.480
<v Speaker 2>On our hands and knees and our economy is.

0:28:19.400 --> 0:28:22.840
<v Speaker 3>Gonna be puking and turning green and pooping on itself. Wow,

0:28:22.880 --> 0:28:25.040
<v Speaker 3>because they're gonna pull it out cold turkey.

0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:26.679
<v Speaker 2>Do you want that? Do you want that?

0:28:26.840 --> 0:28:29.879
<v Speaker 3>Huh? Okay, We're gonna restructure the economy. You would be

0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:31.679
<v Speaker 3>a disgusting economics teacher.

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but compelling hm uh, there's no way this works

0:28:36.640 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 2>because we have an election every two years. We're already

0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:44.520
<v Speaker 2>like a year away from constantly talking about the mid

0:28:44.720 --> 0:28:49.040
<v Speaker 2>terms and uh, and the Democrats are gonna run on

0:28:49.520 --> 0:28:51.840
<v Speaker 2>He says, we can't blah blah blah. We say you

0:28:52.320 --> 0:28:54.400
<v Speaker 2>we can blues with me.

0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Everybody says, yeah, I want everything for nothing, And there

0:28:59.120 --> 0:28:59.400
<v Speaker 3>you go.

0:29:00.000 --> 0:29:03.480
<v Speaker 2>So the summarize were doomed. I'm moving along, aren't you

0:29:03.520 --> 0:29:04.360
<v Speaker 2>glad you tuned in?

0:29:05.920 --> 0:29:06.440
<v Speaker 4>Oh boy?

0:29:07.000 --> 0:29:10.200
<v Speaker 2>But everybody should me and everyone we should realize we're

0:29:10.200 --> 0:29:13.440
<v Speaker 2>not retiring today what the stock market does today unless

0:29:13.440 --> 0:29:16.040
<v Speaker 2>you are retiring today somebody listening somewhere.

0:29:15.800 --> 0:29:18.320
<v Speaker 3>And so then I hope you would have restructured your

0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:19.680
<v Speaker 3>your investments.

0:29:19.720 --> 0:29:22.760
<v Speaker 2>If somebody somewhere on our seventy stations listening is retiring

0:29:22.800 --> 0:29:27.320
<v Speaker 2>today or yesterday, he retired yesterday, I understand while you're upset.

0:29:28.520 --> 0:29:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, sorry, Jack Armstrong and Joe The Armstrong and Getty Show,

0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:42.480
<v Speaker 1>arm Strong and Geeddy Show.

0:29:44.200 --> 0:29:47.480
<v Speaker 3>So, speaking of generations, I thought this was both amusing

0:29:47.520 --> 0:29:53.200
<v Speaker 3>and slightly annoying. But it's an article about how evidently

0:29:53.720 --> 0:29:59.560
<v Speaker 3>some demographer social researcher by the name of Mark mccrindall

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:02.640
<v Speaker 3>has been come the go to guy for naming generations.

0:30:03.120 --> 0:30:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Never heard of this guy, And the just of the

0:30:06.360 --> 0:30:07.280
<v Speaker 2>article is.

0:30:07.240 --> 0:30:11.680
<v Speaker 3>That he believes the whole like coming up with a

0:30:11.760 --> 0:30:15.320
<v Speaker 3>groovy name for the generation and seeing if it catches

0:30:15.360 --> 0:30:16.920
<v Speaker 3>on is kind of dumb.

0:30:17.760 --> 0:30:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, I gotta believe that he or whoever was in charge.

0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 2>They came up with gen X way back in the day.

0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:26.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this was the eighties when they started talking gen.

0:30:26.920 --> 0:30:30.240
<v Speaker 3>X and far the coolest generation name, by the way,

0:30:30.440 --> 0:30:32.760
<v Speaker 3>not just because of my year of birth. And then

0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:34.840
<v Speaker 3>at the meeting where they came up with jen Y,

0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:37.280
<v Speaker 3>somebody should have raised their hand and say, hey, I

0:30:37.320 --> 0:30:40.160
<v Speaker 3>see like a problem coming down the road we might

0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:42.800
<v Speaker 3>want to get ahead of with this whole lettering thing.

0:30:43.280 --> 0:30:45.080
<v Speaker 2>We're running out of letters in the alphant What are

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:45.520
<v Speaker 2>we gonna do?

0:30:46.320 --> 0:30:49.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, you got this silent generation, who weren't silent at

0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:53.400
<v Speaker 3>all at the old hodown. And then you got the

0:30:53.440 --> 0:30:56.880
<v Speaker 3>greatest generation, a fine generation, thanks for winning World War Two.

0:30:56.920 --> 0:30:59.360
<v Speaker 4>But you know there's some good spot.

0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:01.720
<v Speaker 3>Then you at the baby boomers. So there are a

0:31:01.760 --> 0:31:03.680
<v Speaker 3>bunch of babies that once and now I'm a boomer,

0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:07.440
<v Speaker 3>the most selfish generation that had ruined everything. Oh there's

0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:12.280
<v Speaker 3>that is fair criticism hippies and yeah, damn hippies. And

0:31:12.360 --> 0:31:15.040
<v Speaker 3>then then you got Generation X, again by far the

0:31:15.040 --> 0:31:17.760
<v Speaker 3>coolest name. They go through a couple more letters, and

0:31:17.800 --> 0:31:20.280
<v Speaker 3>then they, having run out of letters, they go with millennials,

0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:22.000
<v Speaker 3>and then then.

0:31:22.280 --> 0:31:23.360
<v Speaker 4>What's the next one?

0:31:23.680 --> 0:31:28.560
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't matter anyway, So this guy says, all right,

0:31:28.600 --> 0:31:29.680
<v Speaker 3>we got to quit screwing around.

0:31:29.720 --> 0:31:30.840
<v Speaker 4>We'll just use Greek letters.

0:31:31.120 --> 0:31:34.680
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so generation alpha just happened a while back, but

0:31:34.760 --> 0:31:36.440
<v Speaker 3>now it's generation beta.

0:31:36.600 --> 0:31:39.360
<v Speaker 2>When did alpha thing? Because I never even heard generation alpha?

0:31:39.760 --> 0:31:43.720
<v Speaker 3>I know, I know, but apparently those who talk about

0:31:43.720 --> 0:31:47.040
<v Speaker 3>this crap have. But anyway, the point is now it's

0:31:47.160 --> 0:31:50.680
<v Speaker 3>generation beta. And of course beta is an insult in

0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:53.680
<v Speaker 3>the modern world, right it means, for instance, a weak

0:31:53.800 --> 0:31:58.640
<v Speaker 3>and passive man or something. And so there are parents

0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:03.960
<v Speaker 3>evidently who are offended now their children are being Can

0:32:04.000 --> 0:32:07.080
<v Speaker 3>we stop naming generations completely?

0:32:07.760 --> 0:32:09.160
<v Speaker 2>What is a generation?

0:32:09.320 --> 0:32:09.600
<v Speaker 4>Even?

0:32:10.040 --> 0:32:13.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean Generation X fans for like twenty three years

0:32:13.240 --> 0:32:13.640
<v Speaker 3>or something.

0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:16.760
<v Speaker 2>This is crazy. Well, there's a number of problems with

0:32:16.840 --> 0:32:19.720
<v Speaker 2>it that are fairly obvious. But at least back.

0:32:19.520 --> 0:32:24.280
<v Speaker 3>In the day, you know how much changed between you know,

0:32:24.480 --> 0:32:26.200
<v Speaker 3>this decade and that decade.

0:32:26.040 --> 0:32:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Not a ton, whereas now, holy crap, if you're growing

0:32:31.720 --> 0:32:35.120
<v Speaker 2>up in the smartphone world, it's completely different than the

0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:36.160
<v Speaker 2>pre smartphone world.

0:32:36.520 --> 0:32:40.040
<v Speaker 3>It just is, right, So let's go with more descriptive

0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:44.920
<v Speaker 3>names like the smartphonies or or all digital weirdos or

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:50.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't yeah, I'm just spitballing here. Uh yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:32:50.880 --> 0:32:54.160
<v Speaker 3>The change has been so massive so quickly, you might

0:32:54.240 --> 0:32:57.360
<v Speaker 3>have to go like every five and a half years, right,

0:32:57.800 --> 0:33:01.160
<v Speaker 3>have a new quote unquote generation if because you know,

0:33:01.320 --> 0:33:03.880
<v Speaker 3>mostly I think it's useless. But if I'm a boss

0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:07.640
<v Speaker 3>and you can say, all right, this next person we've

0:33:07.720 --> 0:33:11.320
<v Speaker 3>known or we've hired is a beta zoomer, and you

0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:13.720
<v Speaker 3>look it up and you see, oh, beta zoomers are

0:33:13.720 --> 0:33:17.280
<v Speaker 3>extremely insecure and need to be coddled like little kittens.

0:33:17.840 --> 0:33:20.080
<v Speaker 3>On the other hand, they're rebellious and blah blah. It

0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:21.800
<v Speaker 3>might be a tool to help you deal with them.

0:33:22.440 --> 0:33:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Right, It seems like giant world changing events would be

0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:28.920
<v Speaker 2>better than just picking years like every so many years.

0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Like I mentioned, smartphones, COVID would be a good marker

0:33:32.240 --> 0:33:34.920
<v Speaker 2>if you were, you know, in if you're in grade

0:33:34.960 --> 0:33:38.360
<v Speaker 2>school during COVID, you I know, teachers say those are

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:42.360
<v Speaker 2>different kinds of kids. How did jen X get its name?

0:33:42.840 --> 0:33:43.120
<v Speaker 4>Fat?

0:33:43.240 --> 0:33:45.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean, what a what does that even mean? How

0:33:45.400 --> 0:33:50.080
<v Speaker 3>about Watergate and Vietnam made us very cynical? Plus half

0:33:50.120 --> 0:33:53.640
<v Speaker 3>of our parents got divorced. I mean it's kind of long,

0:33:53.920 --> 0:33:59.719
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, the latch Key generation anyway, Yeah, don't call

0:33:59.800 --> 0:34:00.760
<v Speaker 3>them Generation Beta.

0:34:00.760 --> 0:34:05.240
<v Speaker 2>It's hurtful, so so dumb.

0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Did you know that seventy percent of TikTok's revenue comes

0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:17.640
<v Speaker 3>from live streaming gifts. When people are doing live streamy stuff,

0:34:18.320 --> 0:34:23.600
<v Speaker 3>you gifts or gifts gifts like presents. Yes, you can

0:34:23.640 --> 0:34:26.239
<v Speaker 3>give people these little things that are called what are

0:34:26.280 --> 0:34:28.680
<v Speaker 3>they called, their like little tokens.

0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:33.359
<v Speaker 4>That they can redeem into real money.

0:34:33.520 --> 0:34:38.120
<v Speaker 3>It's huge into sex live streaming. We need someone younger

0:34:38.120 --> 0:34:42.240
<v Speaker 3>than us, Katie. Well, I'm trying to explain it to you,

0:34:42.239 --> 0:34:44.400
<v Speaker 3>you old man. I need somebody who's done it.

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:46.239
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, it's you.

0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:48.920
<v Speaker 5>Just go on and they have different dollar amounts so

0:34:48.960 --> 0:34:52.560
<v Speaker 5>you can send from fifty cents up to one thousand dollars,

0:34:52.640 --> 0:34:53.160
<v Speaker 5>I think.

0:34:53.120 --> 0:34:57.680
<v Speaker 3>To tip them digitally exactly. That was a digital tipsy.

0:34:57.760 --> 0:34:59.759
<v Speaker 3>Why did this catch on? Is it just easier or

0:34:59.760 --> 0:35:03.839
<v Speaker 3>more fun or well as opposed to and mowing them

0:35:03.920 --> 0:35:07.560
<v Speaker 3>or sending them a car. Oh, it's immeasurably easier. You

0:35:07.800 --> 0:35:09.960
<v Speaker 3>have an account, you click click, they get a dollar

0:35:09.960 --> 0:35:12.759
<v Speaker 3>of your money and then they can show you their

0:35:12.840 --> 0:35:17.200
<v Speaker 3>blankety blank or whatever. And TikTok allegedly has filters for this,

0:35:17.520 --> 0:35:20.319
<v Speaker 3>but they're super easy to get around. You use just

0:35:20.400 --> 0:35:23.279
<v Speaker 3>use slang terms, including local slang terms. Because it's a

0:35:23.280 --> 0:35:27.600
<v Speaker 3>global app. And so there's an enormous child porn market

0:35:28.080 --> 0:35:32.000
<v Speaker 3>on TikTok. These underage girls from all over the world,

0:35:32.360 --> 0:35:35.560
<v Speaker 3>who will you know, perform various acts or show off

0:35:35.640 --> 0:35:40.759
<v Speaker 3>or whatever, and and TikTok gets a cut of that. Well,

0:35:40.800 --> 0:35:42.799
<v Speaker 3>first of all, I'll show you whatever part you want

0:35:42.840 --> 0:35:44.000
<v Speaker 3>to see for a five spot.

0:35:44.120 --> 0:35:46.920
<v Speaker 2>If there's any demand, give you a ten not to

0:35:48.400 --> 0:35:49.040
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'll do.

0:35:49.160 --> 0:35:50.920
<v Speaker 3>I'll start a bidding war, and that's will I'll make

0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:52.920
<v Speaker 3>my money and they please don't.

0:35:52.960 --> 0:35:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Well went out, but I'll be the benefit. It's not temptation,

0:35:55.960 --> 0:36:00.520
<v Speaker 2>it's extortion. I'll it's Runny's threat.

0:36:01.880 --> 0:36:06.359
<v Speaker 1>Jack Armstrong and Joe Gatty, the Armstrong and Daddy Joe

0:36:09.120 --> 0:36:09.160
<v Speaker 2>M
