I only know what 29 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 3: I've read. I didn't sit in the courtroom the whole time. 30 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,279 Speaker 3: But oh, I know exactly what to make of the ruling, 31 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 3: do you? 32 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 2: Because they keep leaning it, at least on the news 33 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 2: coverage of the fact that the product was designed to 34 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:04,919 Speaker 2: be addictive. 35 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: Well, since when has that been a thing? 36 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: We have so many things that are designed to be addictive, 37 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 2: potato chips, sitcoms, pop music, Pokemon cards. 38 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: Well, let's heartless. 39 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 2: Let's not skip over the fact that there's no actual 40 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 2: usable definition of addictive when you're talking about a non 41 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: chemical specifically, they mentioned several times, and again, I wasn't 42 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 2: the court. My only I'm getting this through the reporting 43 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 2: of what they were saying there in the you know, 44 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: closing arguments and what the jury said. 45 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: But the endless scrolling. 46 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 2: What you're gonna beat up a company for feeding you 47 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 2: a lot of what you like? Yeah, so I don't 48 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: understand that. I know it's terrible. I go who invented 49 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 2: the game of golf? Probably some scotsman in sixteen oh three. 50 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: I'm gonna sue him. I'm gonna dig him up and 51 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: sue him because I'm absolutely addicted to the game. I mean, 52 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 2: I've spent decades toiling and improving this stupid game. If 53 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 2: that's not addiction, nothing is. So come money, lots of money, 54 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 2: oh my god, uncountable amounts, some money. Wouldn't that be 55 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 2: something if you could total up how much money you 56 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: spent on golf and you know, you might possibly say, well, 57 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: I'm willing to make that bargain for you know, a 58 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 2: lifetime of enjoyment or whatever, what's the point of being alive? 59 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 2: But it would probably be a shocking number. Well if 60 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 2: you include greens fees and like memberships and stuff like that. 61 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 2: Never mind the equipment, oh yeah, oh oh yeah, yeah. 62 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: It's it's not quite a lifestyle, but it's close. 63 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: But so I am I missing something? And I realized 64 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: that was the case. 65 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: Was about this one particular woman and how she got addicted. 66 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: Using my finger quotes, because we don't have a working 67 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 2: definition of addiction really for anything, let alone scrolling Instagram, 68 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 2: but know she'd spend six hours a day on it 69 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: when she's a little kid, and then sixteen hours a 70 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 2: day when she was a teenager. And the I saw 71 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 2: the lawyers for the winning because Zuckerberg and Google did 72 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 2: get hit with the big fine and penalty and everything 73 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: like that, the lawyers for the winning side saying, no 74 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: more blaming the parents. 75 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: Why not How do you let your. 76 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 2: Six year old spend six hours a day on Instagram? 77 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 2: This is horrible in several different ways. That's one of them. 78 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 2: The other one is that and when I said I 79 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: can explain exactly what's going on, I wasn't gonna get 80 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: into this. 81 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: Now. I'll give you the very very short version. 82 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 2: But this is plaintiff's attorneys realizing, oh my god, we 83 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 2: have a cash gusher. Here a gusher, and we are 84 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 2: gonna you know, I'll hit you with my metaphor. I 85 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: was thinking about this before the show. You're gonna like this. 86 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 2: And I have a friend's family, members of people I 87 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: love and respect to and who have done a lot 88 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: of good for me, who are attorneys. 89 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: A lot of them are great and they're necessary. 90 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 2: On the other hand, you know those Clint Eastwood movies 91 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 2: where Clint would ride into town. He was the mysterious 92 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 2: stranger and the little town would either hire him or 93 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: he would feel morally compelled to defend them against the 94 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: evil gang that would always ride into town and rape 95 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 2: and pillage and plunder. 96 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: Right, we made that joke about my burrow. He didn't 97 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: think that was funny. To blow him of apology, Oh man, 98 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: I got to dig up some of those movies. I 99 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: love him so much. 100 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 2: But anyway, what if Clint rode into town and instead 101 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 2: of being told. 102 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: Hey, you know the the Jones gang. He's gonna be 103 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: back any day. 104 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: Now and you better hide cause here mean, what if 105 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 2: Clint rode around saying, like to a rancher, hey, how's 106 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: it going. 107 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: Is your your neighbor's cattle ever stray on your land? 108 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 4: Oh? 109 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, occasionally, of course they do their cattle. 110 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: That's your land. I mean they're eating your grass. You 111 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 2: realize that that's actionable. Would you like me to shoot 112 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: him dead? So instead of some compelling cause coming to 113 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 2: Clint so he could shoot somebody dead the inevitable outcome 114 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: He goes trying to convince people who needs to be 115 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 2: shot dead? And the first ninety nine people you go 116 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 2: to and say, hey, you fell off that ladder. They 117 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 2: didn't warn you that falling off the ladder could hurt you. 118 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 2: First ninety nine people say it's an effing ladder. 119 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: I know what it is. I fell off. I'm an idiot. 120 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 2: But if you can drum up enough of that hundredth person, 121 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 2: you go looking for somebody shooting the head, and the 122 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 2: deeper the pockets, the more aggressive the search is. So yeah, 123 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 2: this is this is terrible. This is the plaintiff's bar 124 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 2: getting rich. That's what this is. And I and if 125 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: you listen to the show, you know this. I despise 126 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 2: social media, so I owe them to my core. 127 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 3: I wish it didn't exist at all. Right, it's terrible 128 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 3: for me, it's terrible for everyone. But I just I 129 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 3: don't get how you can draw any lines on this 130 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 3: making a product people really really like. 131 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: You can't, Which gets us to your pieces of a 132 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 2: piece of analysis, which is soft head juries. 133 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: You can convince some of anything. It's just a money's bigot, 134 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: especially if it's a big rich company exactly. Oh yeah, 135 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: with the whole uh you know, billionaires shouldn't even exist. 136 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 2: You know zeitgeist where people resent the successful and the 137 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: big and the rich, And again I despise all these 138 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 2: companies we've got. 139 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: We've been easy to find a journey. 140 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: We've got thousands upon thousands of thousands of people that 141 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 2: download the podcast every single day the hours for this podcast. 142 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: Are they addicted? Are you all who do that every 143 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 2: single day? Are you addicted? If we say coming up 144 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 2: next hour the top five dog breeds and you tune 145 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 2: in next hour because I said that, is that endless 146 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 2: scrolling or doing something whatever? That was malicious and oppressive? 147 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 2: Because I kept you around for another hour? I don't 148 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 2: understand how you draw the line on these things. 149 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. 150 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: To me, as always, it is a social issue, not 151 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 2: a legal issue. I'd encourage everybody to find and watch 152 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,119 Speaker 2: The Social Dilemma, which is a documentary that came out 153 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 2: a number of years ago, but it's absolutely brilliant. It's 154 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 2: very watchable with kids and teenagers for what it's worth, 155 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 2: but it talks about how the big tech companies have 156 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: tapped into neuropsychology to quote unquote addict you. Clear, it's 157 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: insidious and it's powerful, but it's probably not legitimately actionable 158 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 2: because it's just using you know, as I've often said, 159 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 2: the greatest minds of our generation are dedicated to wasting 160 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: your time and profiting from it. They're just much better 161 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 2: at what Jack was describing. Hey, something really good's coming up, 162 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 2: so you might want to stay tuned.

He can't really conceive of religious nut jobs, yeah, and. 278 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 3: Trying to deal with them. So I think that's what 279 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 3: that is. The Iranian negotiators are very different and strange. 280 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 3: They are begging us to make a deal, which they 281 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 3: should be doing since they've been militarily obliterated with zero 282 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 3: chains of a comeback, which is all true and yet 283 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 3: the but they publicly state that they are only looking 284 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 3: at our proposal wrong.

You know me and my jihad 293 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 3: against jihad and Sharia law and expansionist political Islam. I 294 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 3: think it's the biggest problem facing the Western world, maybe 295 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 3: after falling birth rates. But the reading I've done recently, 296 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 3: and I'll bring some of it to you, is that 297 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 3: Iran is an incredibly important engine of promoting that worldwide, 298 00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 3: the notion that political Islam Sharia law rule. Because until 299 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 3: the revolution in Iran, even in Iran, the notion was no, no, no, no, 300 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 3: the clerics are like, you're the minister in your town, 301 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 3: the priest in your church, whatever, the rabbi at your synagogue, 302 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 3: and they're not to be meant, they're not meant to 303 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 3: be involved in politics the whole, with all due respect 304 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 3: to the prophet that was then this is no. But 305 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 3: Iran turned out on its head and said, oh no, no, no, no. 306 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 3: Islam should run every aspect of society for everyone, including 307 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:34,479 Speaker 3: non believers. 308 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: The demi demi, however. 309 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 2: You pronounce it, and that's it needs to be snuffed out. Well, 310 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 2: whoever's in charge over there and making decisions certainly wanted 311 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 2: to send to the message to the world over the 312 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 2: weekend when they hung that wrestler who is a celebrity 313 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 2: there in Iran that we're the same Iran weighing backing 314 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 2: down a bit.

It's interview after interview while 369 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 2: the game is going on, And while that Barry Bond's 370 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 2: interview was happening, I didn't notice there were a number 371 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 2: of hits. They just had the camera on it showing 372 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 2: the game happening while they were interviewing players or celebrities 373 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 2: or very It was like a two screen experience on 374 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 2: the one screen. 375 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: I guess. 376 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 2: But so lots of complaints about, heyw, how about you 377 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 2: never do baseball game again if you're going to do 378 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 2: all interviews. So I don't know if that's what it 379 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 2: was like or not, but it was their first go 380 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 2: around Netflix baseball. Speaking of baseball, and this is it's 381 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 2: definitely about baseball, but it also, if you're in a 382 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 2: philosophical frame of mind, also brings up interesting questions about 383 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 2: the free market. And then story number two about our 384 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 2: relationship with technology. Story number one. 385 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: Is it is it is. 386 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 2: Practically a certainty that there's going to be a lockout 387 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 2: and a serious, serious labor problem in Major League Baseball 388 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: at the end of this season. This year, next winner, 389 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 2: next win. Okay, so we'll get through the whole season. 390 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: Correct, and then it is probably going to be a 391 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 1: trained rail for this season. Interrupt the Dodgers winning three 392 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: in a row. 393 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 2: Well, that is actually story number one, and it is 394 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 2: the Dodgers and the idea of a salary cap that's at. 395 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: The top of this. 396 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 2: Because the smaller market teams are saying, look, we cannot compete. 397 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 2: This is going to ruin the sport. Our fans are 398 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 2: going to go away, and then what are you going 399 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 2: to have? And the people who the Players Association, which 400 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 2: doesn't want a salary cap. Every other major league sport 401 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 2: in the sport in the United States has a salary cap, 402 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 2: but not baseball. They're saying, oh, wait a minute, there 403 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 2: is parody it's better than any other sport. And they 404 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 2: point to the last ten seasons as evidence. Seven different 405 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 2: teams have won the title, thirteen have reached the World Series, 406 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 2: eighteen different teams have advanced to the semi finals. 407 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. 408 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: But when you break it down a little bit by 409 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 2: market size, your top half of markets, twelve teams have 410 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 2: made it to a Championship series, seven of them won 411 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 2: the series. Your bottom fifteen markets, not twelve, but six 412 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 2: teams made a Championship Series and zero of them won 413 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 2: a World Series. 414 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: In the past ten years? Is that? Yeah? So since 415 00:21:59,240 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. 416 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't done the math on this, but it 417 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 3: sure seems like the Dodgers have done something different than 418 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 3: any other team in any other sport that we've allowed 419 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 3: in America, at least in the modern era, in terms 420 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 3: of just going out and paying insane amounts of money to. 421 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 2: Have the best players that are available. Yeah, yeah, they've 422 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 2: taken it far there. 423 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 4: Now. 424 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 3: It's like an experiment to see what would happen if 425 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 3: you did this. 426 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 2: Right, and the bottom half of market sized teams are saying, 427 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 2: we don't want to do this experiment. It's going to 428 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 2: ruin us Anyway, the second baseball related thing I wanted 429 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 2: to bring up, and this is the whole relationship between 430 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 2: technology and human beings, is about the so called robot empires, 431 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 2: the computer strike zone thing. And you asked me Jack 432 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 2: a question about what I thought of it and will 433 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 2: it lead to this that, and I kind of hemmed, 434 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 2: and Hans said, my gosh, that would take a long time. 435 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 2: Plus I wanted to organize my thoughts. Well. Jason Gay, 436 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 2: the fabulous writer on sports for the Wall Street Journal, 437 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 2: has done just that thing, and I thought it was brilliant. 438 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: And he starts with, I'm supposed to be. 439 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 2: Cool about the robot umpires and how it's it's good 440 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 2: to get it right. And it's actually a very quick system. 441 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 2: It's way faster than football appeals or whatever. Saw the 442 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 2: first nearly instantaneous saw the first in season appeal last 443 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 2: night during the Yankees game, and it was really quick 444 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 2: and the very first time it ever did it, the 445 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 2: ump was right. 446 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: He says, I'm. 447 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 2: Supposed to remind everyone that real human umpires are gonna 448 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 2: call the vast, vast majority of pitches with the real 449 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 2: human eyes. That's what I'm supposed to say. It's not 450 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 2: much fun to be a technophobe. Dinosaur fuddy dudd. He 451 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 2: goes on, for the record, I like a lot of 452 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 2: baseball's changes. He talks about the pitch clock, etc. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 453 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 2: I love that. Still, this is what I worry about. 454 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 2: And this is the great part. It reminds me speaking 455 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 2: of it people who don't like sports. 456 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:48,959 Speaker 1: I get it. You don't have to. 457 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 2: But there have been great writers and thinkers who've looked 458 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 2: at the world through the lens of sports throughout the years. 459 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 2: I could name George Willett. Yeah, for instance, Yeah, Grantlin, 460 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 2: Rice the Granddaddy. Anyway, here's what he worries about. Number One, 461 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,719 Speaker 2: Baseball is going to inevitably phase out the played umpire, 462 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 2: one of the most soulful theatrical characters in American sports, 463 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 2: no doubt. See bitons, Bunny. 464 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: I know that's right. 465 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 2: I know that sounds super baseball pretentious, like I should 466 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 2: be wearing a straw hat and a bow tie. 467 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: But I don't care. He says. 468 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 2: The automatic ball strike system is being called a crowd 469 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 2: pleasing compromise played onmpire with a digital minder. But that's 470 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 2: not how technology works, is Brian Walsh wrote in Vox quote. 471 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 2: Once you've conceded that the machine is the final authority 472 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,439 Speaker 2: on whether a call is right, you've quietly eliminated the 473 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 2: case for having the human there at. 474 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: All, which was your point. That was my point yesterday. 475 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 2: You've if you're going to allow twice per game for 476 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 2: each team to challenge it. 477 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: You've stated that. 478 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 2: At least twice, because if you're right on both of them, 479 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 2: you get to keep doing it. 480 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't know that you can only get it 481 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 3: wrong twice, Okay to unsuccessful. 482 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. 483 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 2: So, but you've stated that the computer's better than the human. 484 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 2: That's right, you're stating right. And so once you have that, 485 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 2: how do you make the argument that the human's there 486 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 2: at all? 487 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: You can't, as Jason is. 488 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 2: As Jason writes, pretty soon everybody's going to be asking 489 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 2: the obvious question, if we're relying on the tech to 490 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 2: make an important call, why aren't we doing it on 491 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 2: every call? And then he makes a joke about Major 492 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 2: League umpires learning football rules. He's right, if the plate 493 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 2: umpire goes with it goes. One of baseball's most entertaining, 494 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 2: maddening presidence is a puff chested judge and jury, a 495 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 2: baked in villain, essential part of the game's pacing and flow. 496 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 2: How much baseball culture revolves around the home play dump 497 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 2: a lot nobody's screaming at a digital umpire to go 498 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 2: to the optometrist. Norman Rockwell did not paint digital strike zones. 499 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 2: A robot cannot throw out Earl Weaver a great old reference. 500 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 2: He says, this feels like a wind down. I fear 501 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 2: the plate dump is doomed. 502 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: Second I think so too, and we would lose something there. 503 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 2: Second point, as he gets a little more philosophical, but 504 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 2: I think he's right down. 505 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: Effect is going to be grim. 506 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 2: One of the most pernicious side effects of video review 507 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 2: challenge culture is its effect on school and youth sports 508 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 2: at the highest level. We have reinforced the idea that 509 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 2: every call is important, or worse, that the standard should 510 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 2: be one hundred percent accuracy, when not even the robots 511 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 2: are one hundred percent accurate. 512 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: I like this. That is something I've kind of thought 513 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: but couldn't put the words to. That is really good. Exactly, Yeah, 514 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: me too. 515 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 2: The pursuit of perfection flies in the face of a 516 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 2: critical lesson sports should teach, which is in competition. Stuff 517 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 2: happens sometimes people get it right. Sometimes people get it wrong, 518 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 2: but it usually evens out. Learning to accept this rhythm 519 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 2: is a critical part of being an adult. Wow, sometimes 520 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 2: you get good breaks, sometimes you get bad breaks, but 521 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 2: it evens out. 522 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: That is that's pretty good, right. 523 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 2: I was taught very early in my career as a pitcher, 524 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 2: the ump is going to blow calls. You must accept 525 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 2: it and move on. You have no alternative. You don't 526 00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 2: want to piss them off. 527 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: And since it's just to take a deep breath and. 528 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 2: Keep going, that's not a baseball lesson, that's a life lesson. 529 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 1: No kidding. Perfection also reeks of gambling culture. 530 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 2: Jason gay Wrights sports have allowed their most inconsequential moments 531 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 2: to be commodified into betting opportunities. Is with already perilous results. 532 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 2: If money's on the line, nobody's very interested in the 533 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 2: rhythm of sometimes the right, sometimes the wrong. Forensic style 534 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 2: review introduces a seriousness to something that's supposed to be 535 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 2: fleeting and fun. It's also boring, which leads me to 536 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 2: my last worry. Yeah, yeah, that that is all that 537 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 2: stuff is really really good, fleeting and fun, and it 538 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 2: lends an area of like this. 539 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: Is very very important what why we must get this 540 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: precisely right. 541 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 2: His third point, which I think is also terrific afterward 542 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 2: from our friends at rough Greens, is all this is 543 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 2: all about your your dog. 544 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we love our dogs, don't we.

The fact that the strike zone was 568 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 2: not static, that it changed from umpire umpire was one 569 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 2: of those texts it's weird. I get a non baseball 570 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 2: fans are a flabbergasted by this. But now baseball has 571 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 2: coldly defined the strike zone. It's seventeen inches of plate 572 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 2: with eight point five inches of plate depth, passing between 573 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 2: fifty three point five and twenty seven percent of the 574 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 2: batter's height. I thought about this, and then I had 575 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 2: allowed to lie down on a park bench. Right, Baseball 576 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 2: pledges abs will be lightning quick compared to something like 577 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 2: the NBA's halting challenge system, in which the refs stand 578 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 2: around trying to see whose fingernail touched the ball last. 579 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 2: And is the pits of the earth. Yes, I know 580 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 2: some of you are thinking, what's the big deal. Almost 581 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 2: every major sport has electronic reviews. Why worry about the 582 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 2: occasional clarification from a robot umpire tennis, for instance, They're 583 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 2: not even going to notice the system atter for a 584 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 2: few months. That may be true, still, in our endless 585 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 2: chase of machined refinement, I think we're missing the value 586 00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 2: of human irregularity. 587 00:29:59,360 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: There is this. 588 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 2: This is something that gets lost in the conversation about 589 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 2: AI and creativity. There's little doubt that AI can capably 590 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 2: produce content, but it also introduces a sameness, a homogeniitygeneity 591 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 2: in which nothing is too good or too bad. In 592 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 2: outsourcing the human, it strips out the soul that connects 593 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: the audience. I'm not saying there's virtue and an umpire 594 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 2: being wrong. I'm just saying perfection is overrated. That's not sports, 595 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 2: that's philosophy. 596 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 597 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 3: Well, I'll say for the eight millions of time, and 598 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 3: I'll keep it short. I've been against with all of 599 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 3: the review stuff. I just don't like anything that slows 600 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 3: down the game. But all my favorite hardcore. The more 601 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 3: hardcore the sports fan, the more likely they're going to 602 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,719 Speaker 3: say the most important I don't care how long. 603 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 2: It takes the most important things. You get to call right. 604 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 2: That's seems to be the experience. The more you love sports, 605 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 2: the more you're in the got to get the call 606 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 2: right no matter what crowd, which is kind of runs 607 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 2: opposite of this thing for some reason, reminds me of 608 00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 2: politics in a way that the hardcore primary voter, for instance, 609 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 2: really doesn't represent the massive voters at all, and yet 610 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 2: they drive the bus in a lot of ways. Pursuit 611 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 2: of perfection, the removal of human imperfection and frailty and 612 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 2: tics and uniqueness and the controversy and the character and mmm, careful, careful, folks, 613 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 2: I has some good stuff there, Yeah, I thought some. 614 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,239 Speaker 2: At least it's fast, though I saw last night. At 615 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 2: least it was fast. It wasn't like the NBA or 616 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 2: the NFL sometimes, like we'll go to commercials for five 617 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 2: minutes and come back and decide whether we should be 618 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 2: cheering like crazy or not. 619 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: It's insufferable. Okay, we've got mailbag on the way, lots 620 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: of other stuff. 621 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 2: I don't think Trump is going to taco on his 622 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 2: latest truth social post. If I were at all in 623 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 2: the Ranian leadership, I would take that very very seriously 624 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 2: more on that in an hour two. I gotta worn 625 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 2: it's more likely toastata. Trump often says to advance, I 626 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 2: haven't figured it out yet. That'd be a funny reply 627 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 2: to that. Here's your freedom loving quota today. It is, 628 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 2: oddly enough, a comment on an article I came across. 629 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 2: I just a guy when I thought I was well stated. 630 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 2: It should be obvious that every oh is about some 631 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 2: way out their leftists and violence and stuff.

If anyone thing illustrates 639 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 2: how susceptible the immature mind is to absolute brainwashing and tribalism, 640 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 2: it's leftism. 641 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: Exhibit a Antifa. 642 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 2: Every single Antifa mugshot lineup I've seen over the past 643 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 2: ten years is a rogues gallery of freaks and malcontents. 644 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 2: I'm willing to bet not a single one of them 645 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 2: is emotionally or mentally stable. 646 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: Probably true. 647 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is true.

Yeah, Ryan's going through a tough time, Okay, right, guys. 665 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 2: On the Wednesday edition of the One More Thing podcast, 666 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 2: the question was asked oh by the way you subscribe 667 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 2: to Armstrong and Getty on demand, you automatically get downloaded 668 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 2: the One More Thing podcast, which is never on air, 669 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,919 Speaker 2: and so it can be a little more PG thirteen rate. 670 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,479 Speaker 1: By the way, the highlight of my day is often 671 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: getting into bed at the end of it. 672 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 2: So who's judging whom anyway? So on the Wednesday edition 673 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 2: One More Thing, the question was asked, why create robots 674 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 2: with the humanoid former features. We're making the point that 675 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,399 Speaker 2: because of the whole Uncanny Valley effect, it freaks people. 676 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 3: Just watched the latest Elon Musk post on the Tesla robot. 677 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: They got knees and fingers and everything like people. 678 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 2: Why so, Mike says, here a few ideas. Existing vehicles, tools, 679 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 2: buildings are built with the human form in mind. Operating 680 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 2: a vehicle, navigating a commercial kitchen, as sending a flight 681 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 2: of stairs, stepping over a curb are things a humanoid 682 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 2: robot could do easier than robots with wheels or bulky 683 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 2: extra limbs. Business would not have to buy all new 684 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 2: equipment if robots were capable of operating the existing human 685 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 2: compatible ones. That's excellent point, Mike. 686 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: Yeah. 687 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 2: On the topic of giving a robot feminine features. It 688 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,879 Speaker 2: may take advantage of the perception that women are less 689 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 2: intimidating or threatening than men. If the robot I displayed 690 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 2: at the sphere had looked male, or perhaps like a 691 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 2: chrome terminator skeleton, how differently would people How different would 692 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 2: people's reactions have been? Wow as excellent insights, Mike, Thank you, Bud. Yeah, 693 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:30,240 Speaker 2: the robot at the sphere was a shapely attractive woman, 694 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 2: for whatever reason, attractive to do what sir right? Yeah 695 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 2: d from b Right. Within the last several months, I've 696 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 2: had two big revelations from your One More Thing podcast. 697 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: Number one. 698 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 2: I had no idea how many people sit to put 699 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 2: their socks on and thinks standing is crazy. This was 700 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 2: news to me as I've always stood to put my 701 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 2: socks on. 702 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: What I know? What I know? Are you what? Sirk 703 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: dey sleigh, I'd fall over now. 704 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 2: I asked my through it, but I don't now I 705 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,799 Speaker 2: ask my friends and family what they do too. I 706 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 2: just learned that there are lots of people who don't 707 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,919 Speaker 2: urinate in front of their spouses. Not only that they've 708 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 2: never even considered it or talked about it. My wife 709 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 2: and I never even discussed it. We've been doing that 710 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 2: in front of each other since we nearly since we 711 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 2: started dating twenty years ago. Humans are wild. Yeah, I know, 712 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 2: And then he says, and I found this amusing. This 713 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 2: also reminds me of a story my wife just told 714 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 2: me about showing up to college with the roommate who 715 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 2: had twenty bath towels. 716 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: My wife had two. 717 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 2: Turns out, the roommate never used to tell more than 718 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 2: once before putting it in the laundry. 719 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: The two girls looked at each other, trying to figure 720 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:34,919 Speaker 1: out who was the crazy one 721 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 2: Right, that's usually the question, which one of us is 722 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 2: aberrans here Armstrong and Getty
