Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Show, Katty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3: So the best sports show of any kind of sports
Speaker 3: show is the NBA Tonight Thing whatever channel it's on now,
Speaker 3: that has Kenny Smith and Shack and Charles Barkley on
Speaker 3: it because they want it's funny, but too they get
Speaker 3: into conversations that no other sports show does.
Speaker 2: I wish the NFL had something like that.
Speaker 1: They just and they got into the whole gambling scandal
Speaker 1: last night and disagreed a lot, and we'll play that
Speaker 1: for you and get into that conversation come up, because
Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking forward to that. They're great for a
Speaker 2: couple of reasons, including the fact that there are so
Speaker 2: many sports shows that they're only dimly aware of, like
Speaker 2: politics and societal norms and what's okay to say and
Speaker 2: what's not, and so they always defer to the woke
Speaker 2: notions sports shows, which are often very guy oriented. You'd
Speaker 2: think it'd be pretty reckless. No, a lot of them
Speaker 2: are like super politically correct because they just don't want
Speaker 2: to get in trouble, and they don't really. They've heard
Speaker 2: something about black lives matter or transgender rights or something,
Speaker 2: and so they're very, very safe. The great thing about
Speaker 2: these guys, they don't give a damn that panel.
Speaker 1: Also, it's the only sports show where you'll have usually
Speaker 1: Charles say, God, this game sucks.
Speaker 2: Fun there, I'm walking to my car. I got better
Speaker 2: things to do, right right, Yeah, love it all right,
Speaker 2: So we're going to talk about that. Also, I haven't
Speaker 2: done this for a very long time. Later in the hour,
Speaker 2: Joe closes his tabs with a new theme song for
Speaker 2: Very Excited Oh among other fair But first, it's the
Speaker 2: Friday tradition. Let's take a fund look back at the
Speaker 2: week it was. It's cow clips of the Week.
Speaker 1: Cons the week, construction on President Trump's vast new ballroom
Speaker 1: gets underway.
Speaker 4: Surprise, Donald Trump is literally destroying the People's House.
Speaker 5: In order to do it properly, we had to take
Speaker 5: down the existing structure.
Speaker 6: So if people want to stop seeing drug boats blow up,
Speaker 6: stop sending drugs to the United States.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're going to kill them. You know, they're going
Speaker 2: to be like dead. Okay.
Speaker 3: The White House revealing the second summit with Vladimir Putin
Speaker 3: won't happen anytime soon.
Speaker 2: As a fragile cyes fire faced. It's most serious test Sunday.
Speaker 2: You know they're going to be very good.
Speaker 5: They're gonna behave, they're gonna be nice, and if they're not,
Speaker 5: we're going to go and we're going to eradicate them
Speaker 5: if we have to.
Speaker 4: I will be the mayor who doesn't just protect Jewish
Speaker 4: New Yorkers but also celebrates and cherishes them.
Speaker 7: Our pleasure leadion to the flag of the United States, Americans,
Speaker 7: the Republic for which is fans.
Speaker 2: Wipe that smile off your face. Andrew, you didn't leave.
Speaker 2: You fled from being impeached.
Speaker 4: Chauncey Phillips, Damon Jones, and Terry Rozier were taken into custody.
Speaker 2: The scheme targeted victims known as quote fish. These operatives
Speaker 2: included capos and multiple soldiers from the Banano, Gambino, lu
Speaker 2: Casey and Genevieve's crime families. This is the insider trading
Speaker 2: saga for the NBA.
Speaker 7: Anytime you say anything about Bron, people call you and say, hey,
Speaker 7: leave Lebron alone.
Speaker 2: Filed horizon.
Speaker 5: But this is a beautiful pork job, and a lot
Speaker 5: of people know about it. Nobody can cook them like
Speaker 5: I do. We have a blackstone in the white House.
Speaker 5: They call me a racist. We have a blackstone in
Speaker 5: the white House, and we make fantastic pork jobs.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to assume you know this story more
Speaker 1: or less. Big Gambling Bus. Thirty one people or thirty
Speaker 1: more than that arrested yesterday, including an NBA head coach
Speaker 1: and some players, including some players that were losing on purpose,
Speaker 1: taking themselves out of games or missing shots or whatever.
Speaker 1: And they were involved in card games and all that
Speaker 1: sort of stuff. So last night on the Big NBA
Speaker 1: show that we mentioned that has Charles Barclay and Kenny
Speaker 1: Smith on it, both NBA Hall of Famers, they got
Speaker 1: into a discussion about this sort of thing that I
Speaker 1: find very interesting.
Speaker 6: All these guys knew what was at stake, and I'm
Speaker 6: just a shame that they put themselves and put their
Speaker 6: family and put the NBA in this position.
Speaker 7: Gambling is an addiction, So the addiction of it is
Speaker 7: what makes you make illogical decisions. Man, this ain't got
Speaker 7: none to do it, damn gambling addiction. This ain't got
Speaker 7: none to do with addiction. These dudes are stupid? Why
Speaker 7: are they stupid? You under no circumstances? Can you fix
Speaker 7: basketball games under no circumstances?
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna play a little more of their argument,
Speaker 1: which I just think is interesting because I think Charles
Speaker 1: Barkley is almost certainly a gambling addict, with the gazillions
Speaker 1: of dollars he spent on gambling, and he's saying it's
Speaker 1: not an addiction, it's stupidity.
Speaker 7: They go on, he took himself out of games on
Speaker 7: prop bets. How much money is he gonna make? Well,
Speaker 7: if he did that, you're proving my point.
Speaker 6: What do you mean that means that logical process?
Speaker 7: If you're making twenty six million dollars to try to
Speaker 7: win fifty thousand, like, that's illogical, So that you're proving
Speaker 7: my point that's not an addiction. That's true the same
Speaker 7: reason though someone goes and uses drugs when they are
Speaker 7: drugs are addiction, they are gambling addition. But the notion
Speaker 7: that you're trying to make sure for these guys be
Speaker 7: an addiction you can't fix.
Speaker 2: You cannot.
Speaker 1: That's enough, Michael, I think the point there. I think
Speaker 1: I agree with Kenny Smith character that is proving the
Speaker 1: point they're doing something incredibly illogical. It makes no sense whatsoever,
Speaker 1: because the gambling is more important to them than the money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they can they can count. It's not stupidity, it's
Speaker 2: a compulsion.
Speaker 1: I think if you're a gambling addict, like Charles probably is.
Speaker 1: You don't don't want to credit anything the gambling addiction.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I guess I think there's room to say
Speaker 2: losing control of your gambling is stupid as a warning
Speaker 2: to people. But yeah, if you're yeah, if you're risking everything,
Speaker 2: including your you know, twenty million dollar paycheck, twenty six
Speaker 2: million dollars a year to make fifty grand, No, that's
Speaker 2: that's psychosis. These guys can count. They have people who
Speaker 2: can count. If they can't, they count for them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's because you're you're getting a bigger thrill, temporary thrill,
Speaker 1: out of being involved in gambling than apparently you are
Speaker 1: out of collecting twenty six million dollars a year playing basketball. Now,
Speaker 1: he was probably pulled himself out of the game and
Speaker 1: faked an injury because he owed a bunch of money.
Speaker 1: Isn't that what we're assuming?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, and he was compelled to uh, not go
Speaker 2: past a certain number of points the mobster's bet the under.
Speaker 2: But yeah, how much was it money that he owed?
Speaker 2: Or were they blackmailing him? Or how can you owe money.
Speaker 1: Unless you and you'd have to know you have to
Speaker 1: owe a lot. I think his total life earnings is
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty million. Now you got taxes, he
Speaker 1: got agents, you got your lifestyle. How much he's got left,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think it'd be enough to
Speaker 1: cover whatever.
Speaker 2: He owed, right right. I mean he could pay play
Speaker 2: a million dollar a hand blackjack and lose ten hands
Speaker 2: in a row and pay the guy back by the
Speaker 2: end of the year, and he'll never make another cent.
Speaker 1: And who knows, there might not be some sort of
Speaker 1: lawsuit where they go back and say, hey, we're not
Speaker 1: going to pay him for we want.
Speaker 2: We are our money back from the years we're paying him.
Speaker 1: Who knows what their contract is, But he will never
Speaker 1: make another cent as an NBA player, certainly. So, it's
Speaker 1: from a logical standpoint, not the best move. Wow, it's
Speaker 1: amazing the things that.
Speaker 2: People will do. Yeah, it is. Hey, speaking of sports, Michael,
Speaker 2: the world serious kicks off tonight. Indulge me. Won't you.
Speaker 2: This is my musical hero, Geddy Lee of Rush talking
Speaker 2: about throwing out the first pitch at a Blue Jays game.
Speaker 2: He's a maniac baseball player. He's also forner. He is Canadian, Yes,
Speaker 2: and he's one of the world's leading collectors of baseball memorabilia.
Speaker 2: It's still insane his collection. Oh yeah, he could open
Speaker 2: up a museum easily. It's it's amazing. Go ahead, I
Speaker 2: can throw a pitch. The Blue Jays asked me to
Speaker 2: throw the home opener first pitch. I practiced like hell
Speaker 2: as you can imagine. He's a Canadian music icon. He
Speaker 2: is the vocalist, bassist and keyboardists with the Toronto rock
Speaker 2: band Rush.
Speaker 7: John has been welcoming to the Beatle to throw out
Speaker 7: the ceremonial first pitch.
Speaker 2: Kenny Lee. I threw a perfect curveball for a stripe. Wow,
Speaker 2: ndies and gentlemen, girls and boys. Kenny Lee.
Speaker 1: One with the breaking pitch controversial, Yeah, no kidding? And
Speaker 1: is he doing it again tonight?
Speaker 2: I don't know. So that was back in thirteen.
Speaker 1: First of all, his English is pretty good for foreigner,
Speaker 1: right you like we've been talking about Wait till you
Speaker 1: hear the rain of booze on the national anthem in Canada?
Speaker 2: What if the main chances they're not going to air that.
Speaker 2: They always air the national anthem, but maybe they won't tonight.
Speaker 2: I don't know that. Yeah, I think they hear it,
Speaker 2: And in fact, if they were planning not to air it,
Speaker 2: I'd bump a commercial or two to air it because
Speaker 2: that will get tremendous attention to the next telecast. WHOA.
Speaker 1: So, then does that make Americans angry and like go
Speaker 1: all in on rooting for the Dodgers in a way
Speaker 1: that they might not normally? It becomes more of a
Speaker 1: USA versus Canada thing.
Speaker 2: No, I don't. Will dodgertchet up Americans dislike of Canada?
Speaker 1: I don't know if he can't either, And Dodger hate
Speaker 1: for people who don't like the Dodgers runs pretty.
Speaker 2: Deeps a long time San Francisco Giants fan, No is
Speaker 2: the answer. No, right, yeah, I'm gonna watch chance first
Speaker 2: pitch if the game starts at five o'clock West Coast time,
Speaker 2: eight Eastern more on the waist to hear Heydie.
Speaker 4: This is what they call a wet lab. They get
Speaker 4: a bunch of volunteers to come in and drink.
Speaker 2: Terry, I need you to go have a double And.
Speaker 4: So they get a double drink until they have the
Speaker 4: right VAC level according to the breathaweiser. And now we'll
Speaker 4: see if any of the people who are drinking can
Speaker 4: pass the sobriety test. The guy who had the most
Speaker 4: to drink had fourteen drinks over.
Speaker 2: About two and a half hours.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he didn't pass the test.
Speaker 2: Neither did anybody else.
Speaker 4: The cadets said that they would have arrested every single
Speaker 4: person who was in that room drinking if they were
Speaker 4: stopped on the side of the road.
Speaker 2: Don't drink and drive. That's the important message the cops
Speaker 2: can tell. I don't know what the message was there.
Speaker 2: Joe and I have done that a couple of different
Speaker 2: times where we got all drunked up with the highway patrol. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this was a different program where they get people drunk
Speaker 2: and then they like unleash him on cadets to see
Speaker 2: if to give him practice and giving sobriety tests to drunks.
Speaker 2: Have you done that before, Katie on the air, where
Speaker 2: you get drunk? I have. It's a good time.
Speaker 1: You ever gotten drunk alone? Just to make your problems
Speaker 1: go away.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Last night and tonight, yeah, it was it. Actually,
Speaker 2: it was crazy fun while it lasted. This is back
Speaker 2: in Jack's Drink of days. Obviously, I was very proud
Speaker 2: of the fact that my time's kept getting better until
Speaker 2: it's a lot like my golf game until I, you know,
Speaker 2: obviously crossed the line till it doesn't. Yeh. Felt like
Speaker 2: crap that afternoon though we did it during the morning drive. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Same here makes the day kind of long, I'd say, well,
Speaker 2: it makes the day go away. You sleep for the
Speaker 2: rest of it usually.
Speaker 1: Hey, I meant to get to these stats on sports
Speaker 1: gambling that are kind of interesting. Rich Lowry, writing in
Speaker 1: the New York Post about he's he thinks it was
Speaker 1: a mistake the Supreme Court legalizing gambling. So thirty eight
Speaker 1: states jumped on board immediately with sports betting that we
Speaker 1: didn't have before because of a Supreme Court ruling that
Speaker 1: basically the government doesn't have the right to not let
Speaker 1: you do that is basically in But so the most
Speaker 1: recent year, they have numbers for twenty twenty three, people
Speaker 1: waged one hundred and fifty billion dollars nationwide.
Speaker 2: Wow, just in America, one hundred and.
Speaker 1: Fifty billion on the Super Bowl, the most bet on activity,
Speaker 1: seventy thousand wagers a minute. Now, this is all, you know,
Speaker 1: getting toward the how much pressure there could be on
Speaker 1: there's so much money involved, there could be pressure on
Speaker 1: referees or players or coaches or whatever to do something
Speaker 1: untoward and getting in on a little of the betting
Speaker 1: seventy thousand wagers a minute during the Super Bowl. An
Speaker 1: article in The Atlantic, a guy studying at this all
Speaker 1: for the Manhattan Institute wrote, the rise of sports has
Speaker 1: caused a wave of financial and familial misery, one that
Speaker 1: falls disproportionately on the most economically precarious households. Well, that's
Speaker 1: true for obvious reasons. You lose ten thousand dollars in
Speaker 1: your poor does a lot more damage than if you're rich.
Speaker 2: So there's got to be a term for this among
Speaker 2: people who study it. But the concept that prostitution is illegal,
Speaker 2: everybody knows there's escorts, and you know, there's a certain
Speaker 2: amount of prostitution, and they have a bust, rubb and tugs.
Speaker 2: They have a couple of busts a year. Everybody goes
Speaker 2: through the motions and it all looks all looks a
Speaker 2: little bit silly, but that keeps a from like just
Speaker 2: blatant street walking hose from walking by elementary schools and
Speaker 2: it becoming rampant, and it gives the cops an excuse
Speaker 2: to contact people who they suspect being trafficked or exploited
Speaker 2: or underage or that sort of thing. In the same
Speaker 2: way that the speed limit is seventy, they don't expect
Speaker 2: you to go seventy. They just don't want you to
Speaker 2: go ninety. There's and there was always lots and lots
Speaker 2: of betting when gambling was quote unquote illegal, but it
Speaker 2: held back the tide a little bit. And that's difficult
Speaker 2: to explain in a way that is constitutional in the
Speaker 2: face of a good lawyer's argument. You have to have
Speaker 2: like really consistent moral codes among a society. You gotta
Speaker 2: have a homogenous society.
Speaker 1: And where it always gets complicated in a welfare state
Speaker 1: is like, I personally have zero problem with you having
Speaker 1: the freedom to ruin your life gambling as long as
Speaker 1: I ain't got to pay for you and your kids.
Speaker 1: But that ain't the way it works. That is not
Speaker 1: the way it works. If you end up on hard
Speaker 1: times or can't have a dignified retirement when you reach
Speaker 1: old age, because you've been gambling your whole life, I'm
Speaker 1: expected to pick up the tab. So that's where it
Speaker 1: becomes a problem. This is an interesting number. This is
Speaker 1: similar to drinking. Everyone's well, you see the stats where
Speaker 1: it's like and I was one of these people, like
Speaker 1: ten percent of drinkers by ninety percent of the alcohol
Speaker 1: or something like that, because there's so many people that
Speaker 1: have a beer a weekend. Well, the rest of us
Speaker 1: are doing the heavy lifting. But for sports betting, it's similar.
Speaker 1: About five percent of betters spent seventy percent of the
Speaker 1: money over a two year period, five percent of the
Speaker 1: betters did seventy percent of the spending.
Speaker 2: Not surprised.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again, do what all you want, as long
Speaker 1: as I'm not sending you snap money for your kids
Speaker 1: because you can't afford to feed them.
Speaker 2: Right, and as long as it doesn't screw up my
Speaker 2: favorite sports because it's everywhere all the time, and the
Speaker 2: temptations to do the unthinkable or you know, ever present
Speaker 2: for the players and coaches and referees and the rest
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 1: Remind me about I bought some gourmet coffee and EBT
Speaker 1: snap money I want to. I want to tell that story.
Speaker 1: I just came across yesterday. I thought it was kind
Speaker 1: of funny.
Speaker 2: You're on Snap thinks, all right, you need some help. No, No,
Speaker 2: I'm not on Snap. Oh okay yet I am in
Speaker 2: the radio industry. We got a lot more of the
Speaker 2: ways to hear.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty and all.
Speaker 2: I tell you. You hear people say all the time.
Speaker 1: You know, you can't buy junk food with food stamps,
Speaker 1: so that sort of thing. Boy, I came across a
Speaker 1: lie that that is the other day.
Speaker 2: Stay tuned.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a huge flaming lie. My god. It's one
Speaker 2: of the few things I agree with Doctor Ozbont. Anyway,
Speaker 2: once in a while we'll do this. I get to
Speaker 2: the end of the week, I Jo Suph, Getty get
Speaker 2: to the end of the week, and I've got so
Speaker 2: many articles and tabs open that are really interesting and
Speaker 2: I'd love to get to them on the show, but
Speaker 2: I'm just not going to. So we just will buzz
Speaker 2: through a bunch of them. Jack, any of them intrigue you,
Speaker 2: in particular, we can go into some detail. It's called
Speaker 2: Joe closes as tabs. We haven't done this for a
Speaker 2: long time, and I decided that it needed theme music.
Speaker 2: So Hanson, working his AI magic, has come up with
Speaker 2: some options. First, we need to pick the theme music.
Speaker 2: Everybody gets a vote, Michael. Number one, please, Joey closes
Speaker 2: is tag. That'll be hard to beat this one, showing
Speaker 2: me it's a little long. It's way too long. I
Speaker 2: like the style though, all right. Number two, Michael, Joey.
Speaker 2: For our purposes, that's better. Yeah, it's pretty good too, right.
Speaker 2: Number three? I like that.
Speaker 1: I like that one the best. I think for what
Speaker 1: for what we're using it for? I might be number
Speaker 1: three myself.
Speaker 2: Mm hm. I got to hear number two again, Michael Joy. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm glad I tasted that again.
Speaker 1: I'm getting hints of berries and I had a bit
Speaker 1: of a chocolate flavor at the end.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, well we'll probably go with number three if
Speaker 2: that's which one do you like? I like both two
Speaker 2: and three, but either one. Yeah, yeah, fantastic. Anyway, here
Speaker 2: we go.
Speaker 1: Schools are accommodating Michelangelo, not wanting to anger either of
Speaker 1: the people's names on the show.
Speaker 2: That's what that was. You caught me checking for craps.
Speaker 2: I have none to give which one, students are accommodating
Speaker 2: student anxiety. I'm sorry, schools are accommodating student anxiety and
Speaker 2: making it worse. The authors of the study say, having
Speaker 2: kids avoid that which makes them anxious makes their anxiety
Speaker 2: about a particular thing worse. I don't doubt that a
Speaker 2: bit like test taking your public speaking, which speaking is
Speaker 2: a great idea.
Speaker 1: I know it's very common. Like you, if you're really
Speaker 1: nervous speaking in public, they'll let you give your speech
Speaker 1: alone after school to just the teacher. You think that's
Speaker 1: gonna help you in the future when you have to
Speaker 1: finally speak in public, which you will at some point.
Speaker 2: And this is a study, and they use a bunch
Speaker 2: of data, but some of their conclusions are just intuitive.
Speaker 2: Academic accommodations for anxiety convey two harmful messages. First, they
Speaker 2: imply that the feared situation is truly dangerous, right when
Speaker 2: it's not at all. Public speaking, testing, lunch with classmates
Speaker 2: are too risky. For the lunch with classmates, that's rough. Second,
Speaker 2: they suggest that the student can't students can't withstand the distress.
Speaker 2: Those messages increase anxiety. I mean, I'm supposed to the
Speaker 2: more dad like you'll be fine, Go ahead, I'd be great.
Speaker 1: I can speak to that one perfectly. So I didn't
Speaker 1: have problem with public speaking or tests or anything like that.
Speaker 1: I did have the lunch with classmates, probably because I
Speaker 1: moved schools a lot, and I know exactly what it
Speaker 1: feels like to walk out into that lunch room and
Speaker 1: know you're gonna go sit on a table by yourself,
Speaker 1: all right, with everybody looking at you.
Speaker 2: I know that feeling exactly.
Speaker 1: But if the teachers had accommodated me by you, you
Speaker 1: can eat in here with us by yourself, you think
Speaker 1: that would have made me a better, more resilient human
Speaker 1: being or less?
Speaker 2: I mean, good Lord, right right? So many of the
Speaker 2: woke policies that you know we've said all longer terrible ideas,
Speaker 2: or just at least people are saying it out loud
Speaker 2: now they're terrible ide Wow. The most wanted fentanyl producer
Speaker 2: is extradited to the US after a brazen escaped. This
Speaker 2: guy's name. He's Chinese, Jidong Ziang. He was the big
Speaker 2: go between between the Chinese fentanyl precursor chemical producers and
Speaker 2: the Mexican cartels. Evidently, he escaped from house arrest in
Speaker 2: Mexico house arrest or. He was set to be extradited
Speaker 2: to the US. He hopped on a private jet to Cuba,
Speaker 2: then tried to fly to Russia. They wouldn't have him,
Speaker 2: send him back to Cuba. Now Cuba's extraditing him to
Speaker 2: Mexico and from there he was delivered to the US.
Speaker 2: So we have him now. Never heard of this guy.
Speaker 2: He's one of the most important drug dealers on the
Speaker 2: planet and he's a Chinese national. I'll be damned. Another
Speaker 2: headline with the owner if he is mostly run in fentanyl. Oh,
Speaker 2: see headline is most wanted fentanyl producer. Yeah, that was
Speaker 2: his gig.
Speaker 1: I remember having an argument with somebody who thought I
Speaker 1: was a conspiracy theory nut for saying China was trying
Speaker 1: to get fentanyl in the United States.
Speaker 2: Jang is accused of smuggling tons of chemical precursors to
Speaker 2: make fentanyl for Mexico's top two criminal organization, the Sinelo
Speaker 2: and Hollisco cartels, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Man,
Speaker 2: people believe some strange stuff. Federal judge strikes Biden near
Speaker 2: a Bay on transgender care discrimination, saying that no you
Speaker 2: can add I feel like a girl to actual sex
Speaker 2: related civil rights protection. What I thought was interesting is
Speaker 2: this writer in the hill. I'm sure some twenty four
Speaker 2: year old woke half wit wrote the following sentences. Where
Speaker 2: was it? Did I scroll too far? The decision is
Speaker 2: a significant loss for the transgender community, which has faced
Speaker 2: a wave of state and federal policies and court decisions
Speaker 2: rolling back previously established rights. Do you mean rolling back
Speaker 2: insane fifteen minutes ago departures from all sanity, previously established rights? Man,
Speaker 2: you're dressing up some pretty thin rulings in some pretty
Speaker 2: fancy clothes there. Moving along. Testosterone is giving women back
Speaker 2: their sex drive, but risk side effects women are if
Speaker 2: and it's tough to find a doctor to prescribe this.
Speaker 2: But women are taking testosterone even a little more than
Speaker 2: their body would ever produce on their best day, and
Speaker 2: it's turning them into sex maniacs. Okay, I have personal
Speaker 2: experience with this New York Times with this story.
Speaker 1: I know someone who does the testosterone cream thing. He
Speaker 1: was using the testosterone cream, believes some of it was
Speaker 1: rubbing off on his wife who is getting more testosterone,
Speaker 1: and they became like a.
Speaker 2: Rabbit with four kids in the house. These people are
Speaker 2: in the sex.
Speaker 1: This is people in their fifties, been married for thirty years,
Speaker 1: having sex every single day.
Speaker 2: Why crean and he thinks that it's the testosterone. Anybody
Speaker 2: got forty in their early forties, four kids in the house,
Speaker 2: sex six times a week? Up from how about never? Okay,
Speaker 2: she says, they're doing the biblical thing and taking Sunday off.
Speaker 2: That's what they're doing. Even God, that's probably good. Well,
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's good exercise. But isn't that interesting.
Speaker 1: Though, that the only thing that needed to get the
Speaker 1: lady going is a little testosterone. Yeah, you're gonna have
Speaker 1: a mustache and maybe grow testicles. But hey, there's a
Speaker 1: downside to everything. Yeah, actually, facial hair is downside. She
Speaker 1: was a little less emotional, a little less sentimental than
Speaker 1: she used to be, but she didn't have time for
Speaker 1: that kind of thing anyway. It's more like, get stuff done,
Speaker 1: handle business, work out unbelievable, And they got a bunch
Speaker 1: of bunch of examples.
Speaker 2: I mean, one woman in her fifties told me that
Speaker 2: after years of revulsion at so much as the thought
Speaker 2: of her husband's breath, Wow, she now looked forward to
Speaker 2: having sex with him almost every night. Even in the
Speaker 2: middle of sex, she was thinking about the next time
Speaker 2: they could have sex. Wow, wow, night after night, night
Speaker 2: after night. Wow. Interesting. Just as estrogen is a crucial
Speaker 2: hormone for men, testosterone is an important hormone hormone for women.
Speaker 2: It just is in different palaces in the two sexes.
Speaker 2: And guess what, they are only two sexes.
Speaker 1: So you get some tests cream, and then when you
Speaker 1: come home from work and you hug your wife, you
Speaker 1: just rub a little behind your ear.
Speaker 2: You keep doing exactly I got this new hand cream anyway.
Speaker 2: Oh God, seen a few minutes mustache by the way,
Speaker 2: How it's nothing a little wax can't handle. Huh. How
Speaker 2: about this one from from laughing in sex to make
Speaker 2: you want to pound somebody? Get Joe Getty cold Warrior ready, Michael.
Speaker 2: How China cheats its way into US law schools. China's
Speaker 2: l SET Prep l SAT Prep companies are utterly crooked
Speaker 2: with letting other people take the test for them all
Speaker 2: sorts of cheating technologies, screen captures of test questions then
Speaker 2: fed to their clients. And Chinese communist nationals are getting
Speaker 2: into all of our elite law schools to learn American law.
Speaker 2: You want to guess why they're doing that.
Speaker 1: You know, that is really smart by China. That is
Speaker 1: really clever. Why wouldn't you do that? Why wouldn't you
Speaker 1: spend as much money as you can to get your
Speaker 1: smart Chinese kids into the best law schools. Help them
Speaker 1: out with the score. Yeah, that's where.
Speaker 2: They Then you can subvert the United States because you
Speaker 2: have a whole of society effort to take down the
Speaker 2: US and raise China up. And I for one ain't
Speaker 2: sitting still for it. Jo Getty cold Warrior, Yeah, I
Speaker 2: heard that. That was good. I like that one kind
Speaker 2: of chilling. Anyway, moving along, Joe closes tabs. What do
Speaker 2: we have? Oh boy? And maybe we want to talk
Speaker 2: about this Monday. Hamas has calculated it can survive in
Speaker 2: Gaza and rule, and I read a piece by Kevin
Speaker 2: Williamson the Dispatch. I think he's right. Donald Trump's Middle
Speaker 2: East plan might have been a smashing success, except that
Speaker 2: it is missing two elements, one piece and two a plan.
Speaker 2: But we can talk about that more on. He hates
Speaker 2: Trump so much though it's difficult for him to see straight. Well,
Speaker 2: that's it maybe, but his reasoning is perfectly sound. Uh.
Speaker 2: Tesla earnings profits drop thirty seven percent thirty seven percent
Speaker 2: in the third quarter despite growing vehicle sales because of
Speaker 2: the end of certain subsidies. Plus, he has emphasized that
Speaker 2: it's now about robot cars. That's his thing. It's not
Speaker 2: about making high quality electrical vehicles at various price ranges
Speaker 2: for American consumers and consumers worldwide. No, he's obsessed with
Speaker 2: the self driving software. You know what visionaries do. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I wonder if he wants to sell it to all
Speaker 2: the car companies and that's how he's going to make
Speaker 2: his money.
Speaker 1: He's still saying that in twenty six Tesla will go
Speaker 1: fully self driving.
Speaker 2: You don't have to pay attention. I just I just
Speaker 2: don't think it's gonna happen. But yeah, he says, blah
Speaker 2: blah blah. My fundamental concern he's talking about his relationship
Speaker 2: with the board of directors is pay but his control.
Speaker 2: My fundamental concern with how much voting control I have
Speaker 2: at Tesla, is if I build this enormous robot army,
Speaker 2: can I just be ousted in the future. I don't
Speaker 2: feel comfortable building that robot army. If I don't have
Speaker 2: at least influence over it. He says, it'll be like
Speaker 2: a shockwave. Wow, when they're successful. Oh boy, we don't
Speaker 2: need any more shock waves. Too many shock waves. And
Speaker 2: then finally want to dig in a little more into
Speaker 2: the article I mentioned yesterday, surveillance cameras pointed the wrong
Speaker 2: way to allow the Louver heist.
Speaker 1: That's so funny. Installed your security cameras pointing the wrong direction?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, I don't want to come off
Speaker 2: as sexist. No chicks did it, but absolutely everybody involved
Speaker 2: in this, the director of the Louver, the director of security,
Speaker 2: of security, the I believe the uh, what is the
Speaker 2: what is the Minister of culture? I think involved is
Speaker 2: a woman. They have known for years that they needed
Speaker 2: to upgrade their security system, including their camera system, and
Speaker 2: they declared that it was time to do it right now,
Speaker 2: four years ago. But it's been tied up in French
Speaker 2: bureaucracy that whole time, and they haven't replaced a single
Speaker 2: damn camera. How emblematic is that of what France is now?
Speaker 2: No kidding, Wow, that's why it's a national embursement. Yeah,
Speaker 2: no kidding. Look, our security system is paltry. It's terrible.
Speaker 2: We've got to at least get modern cameras. Okay, we'll
Speaker 2: study it in half a decade goes by. And that
Speaker 2: was And I have so many more I want to
Speaker 2: get to. I'm gonna hit you with one more. I
Speaker 2: don't care. We're running late. And I've been wanting to
Speaker 2: talk about this for a long time. A Jewish lawyer
Speaker 2: was arrested for wearing a Star of David on a
Speaker 2: London street because he was getting close to a pro
Speaker 2: Palestinian protest, and they called the wearing the star of
Speaker 2: David provocative. Wow. Yeah, more on that next week.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that our hungry are getting government helped to
Speaker 1: buy them most expensive gourmet coffee that exists, among other
Speaker 1: things on the waist here. You got different kinds of snobs.
Speaker 1: You got wine snobs, obviously, and there are chocolate snobs
Speaker 1: and cheese snobs and everything like that.
Speaker 2: But I saw this the other day.
Speaker 1: The worst snobs, the snobbyist of snobs, are coffee snobs,
Speaker 1: espresso snobs. And I'm going to try not to become
Speaker 1: one of those. As I mentioned earlier in the week,
Speaker 1: I bought a fancy, expensive coffee machine.
Speaker 2: I get it. Today. I've already bought my beans. I'm
Speaker 2: really excited about. I've been doing these.
Speaker 1: Rabbit hole deep dives on all these grinding and all
Speaker 1: these different sorts of things.
Speaker 2: We'll see how that turns out.
Speaker 1: One thing I noticed when I was looking for some
Speaker 1: good coffee was some of the most expensive stuff on Amazon,
Speaker 1: this Illy whole Beam intensil Bold roast. It's a ninety
Speaker 1: bucks for this couple of packets of stuff or whatever.
Speaker 1: Snap and EBT eligible for a lot of these super
Speaker 1: expensive roasts.
Speaker 2: How about that?
Speaker 1: So you can take your wealth redistribution money because you
Speaker 1: know you're just struggling to put food on the table,
Speaker 1: and by ridiculously overpriced you wouldn't be able to tell
Speaker 1: the difference. Neither would I, neither would anybody else, difference
Speaker 1: in the taste espresso beans. Well, where is it written
Speaker 1: that the pool only the rich can enjoy ultra luxury products?
Speaker 6: Jack?
Speaker 2: That's so crazy, like everywhere, that is so crazy. Man.
Speaker 2: It is a rabbit hole though.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you've done this with wine, or you
Speaker 1: can do it with all kinds of things, but oh
Speaker 1: my god, the spoon, the cup, the grinder, the how
Speaker 1: long after roasting you let it air out for how long?
Speaker 1: And just all this bs that there's no way you
Speaker 1: can possibly tell the difference in the flavor.
Speaker 2: You know, everybody needs their passions, but other people's passions
Speaker 2: seems so dumb. They really do. Jack Armstrong loves coffee. Bye,
Speaker 2: there you go. Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get a final thought to from everybody
Speaker 2: to wrap up the show for the week. Michael Angelow
Speaker 2: lead us off. Watch your final thought. I am fascinated
Speaker 2: by how the announcers are going to handle the national anthem.
Speaker 2: If they show it, will they acknowledge it? Or just
Speaker 2: too you don't think it want to be silent. I
Speaker 2: don't know what they'll say, though, I'll bet they're talking
Speaker 2: about that right now. They'll say you're hearing some booze
Speaker 2: as tensions have increased over trade talks between the US
Speaker 2: and Canada. Anyway, Oh and two Katie Green are esteemed

Speaker 1: just had this weird thought.
Speaker 2: We're going to hear that the NBA is don't needed
Speaker 2: forty million dollars to Trump's new ballroom and all of
Speaker 2: a sudden cash Pateel is going to lose his enthusiasm
Speaker 2: for the investigation because I have a feeling the revelations
