WEBVTT - Nice Mustache By The Way 0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:10.160 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Show, Katty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:17.200 Armstrong and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.520 So the best sports show of any kind of sports 0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:34.600 show is the NBA Tonight Thing whatever channel it's on now, 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:38.559 that has Kenny Smith and Shack and Charles Barkley on 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.160 it because they want it's funny, but too they get 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.960 into conversations that no other sports show does. 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:45.519 I wish the NFL had something like that. 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.760 They just and they got into the whole gambling scandal 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:52.440 last night and disagreed a lot, and we'll play that 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:54.400 for you and get into that conversation come up, because 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:55.560 I thought it was pretty interesting. 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:57.920 Yeah, I'm looking forward to that. They're great for a 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:01.560 couple of reasons, including the fact that there are so 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:06.960 many sports shows that they're only dimly aware of, like 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:12.280 politics and societal norms and what's okay to say and 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.840 what's not, and so they always defer to the woke 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:21.200 notions sports shows, which are often very guy oriented. You'd 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.480 think it'd be pretty reckless. No, a lot of them 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.959 are like super politically correct because they just don't want 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:28.840 to get in trouble, and they don't really. They've heard 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:33.240 something about black lives matter or transgender rights or something, 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.440 and so they're very, very safe. The great thing about 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:39.120 these guys, they don't give a damn that panel. 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.400 Also, it's the only sports show where you'll have usually 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.800 Charles say, God, this game sucks. 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.360 Fun there, I'm walking to my car. I got better 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:50.960 things to do, right right, Yeah, love it all right, 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:52.800 So we're going to talk about that. Also, I haven't 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.120 done this for a very long time. Later in the hour, 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:59.880 Joe closes his tabs with a new theme song for 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.200 Very Excited Oh among other fair But first, it's the 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.120 Friday tradition. Let's take a fund look back at the 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.440 week it was. It's cow clips of the Week. 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:19.960 Cons the week, construction on President Trump's vast new ballroom 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:20.840 gets underway. 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:26.080 Surprise, Donald Trump is literally destroying the People's House. 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.119 In order to do it properly, we had to take 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.080 down the existing structure. 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.280 So if people want to stop seeing drug boats blow up, 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.239 stop sending drugs to the United States. 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.040 Okay, we're going to kill them. You know, they're going 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:40.840 to be like dead. Okay. 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.520 The White House revealing the second summit with Vladimir Putin 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:45.800 won't happen anytime soon. 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.919 As a fragile cyes fire faced. It's most serious test Sunday. 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:51.959 You know they're going to be very good. 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.120 They're gonna behave, they're gonna be nice, and if they're not, 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:57.040 we're going to go and we're going to eradicate them 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:57.760 if we have to. 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:00.960 I will be the mayor who doesn't just protect Jewish 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.560 New Yorkers but also celebrates and cherishes them. 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.800 Our pleasure leadion to the flag of the United States, Americans, 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.079 the Republic for which is fans. 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:17.560 Wipe that smile off your face. Andrew, you didn't leave. 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:19.760 You fled from being impeached. 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:24.320 Chauncey Phillips, Damon Jones, and Terry Rozier were taken into custody. 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:31.040 The scheme targeted victims known as quote fish. These operatives 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:35.360 included capos and multiple soldiers from the Banano, Gambino, lu 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:39.840 Casey and Genevieve's crime families. This is the insider trading 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:41.440 saga for the NBA. 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:46.520 Anytime you say anything about Bron, people call you and say, hey, 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:47.800 leave Lebron alone. 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.040 Filed horizon. 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.560 But this is a beautiful pork job, and a lot 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:07.920 of people know about it. Nobody can cook them like 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.600 I do. We have a blackstone in the white House. 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:12.840 They call me a racist. We have a blackstone in 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:21.080 the white House, and we make fantastic pork jobs. 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.040 So I'm going to assume you know this story more 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.920 or less. Big Gambling Bus. Thirty one people or thirty 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.720 more than that arrested yesterday, including an NBA head coach 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:35.200 and some players, including some players that were losing on purpose, 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.160 taking themselves out of games or missing shots or whatever. 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.000 And they were involved in card games and all that 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.799 sort of stuff. So last night on the Big NBA 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.359 show that we mentioned that has Charles Barclay and Kenny 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:50.839 Smith on it, both NBA Hall of Famers, they got 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.800 into a discussion about this sort of thing that I 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:54.719 find very interesting. 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:59.440 All these guys knew what was at stake, and I'm 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:03.640 just a shame that they put themselves and put their 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.880 family and put the NBA in this position. 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:12.640 Gambling is an addiction, So the addiction of it is 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:16.080 what makes you make illogical decisions. Man, this ain't got 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.320 none to do it, damn gambling addiction. This ain't got 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:22.120 none to do with addiction. These dudes are stupid? Why 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:26.360 are they stupid? You under no circumstances? Can you fix 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.520 basketball games under no circumstances? 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.200 Now we're gonna play a little more of their argument, 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.120 which I just think is interesting because I think Charles 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:38.400 Barkley is almost certainly a gambling addict, with the gazillions 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.480 of dollars he spent on gambling, and he's saying it's 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:42.960 not an addiction, it's stupidity. 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.040 They go on, he took himself out of games on 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:49.400 prop bets. How much money is he gonna make? Well, 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.520 if he did that, you're proving my point. 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:55.640 What do you mean that means that logical process? 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.520 If you're making twenty six million dollars to try to 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:02.679 win fifty thousand, like, that's illogical, So that you're proving 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.359 my point that's not an addiction. That's true the same 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:11.039 reason though someone goes and uses drugs when they are 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:16.159 drugs are addiction, they are gambling addition. But the notion 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.680 that you're trying to make sure for these guys be 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.359 an addiction you can't fix. 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.840 You cannot. 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.360 That's enough, Michael, I think the point there. I think 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:31.719 I agree with Kenny Smith character that is proving the 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:35.680 point they're doing something incredibly illogical. It makes no sense whatsoever, 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.000 because the gambling is more important to them than the money. 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:43.040 Yeah, they can they can count. It's not stupidity, it's 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:43.760 a compulsion. 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.440 I think if you're a gambling addict, like Charles probably is. 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.240 You don't don't want to credit anything the gambling addiction. 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:57.560 Yeah, yeah, I guess I think there's room to say 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:03.320 losing control of your gambling is stupid as a warning 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:07.919 to people. But yeah, if you're yeah, if you're risking everything, 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:12.840 including your you know, twenty million dollar paycheck, twenty six 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.560 million dollars a year to make fifty grand, No, that's 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.960 that's psychosis. These guys can count. They have people who 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.080 can count. If they can't, they count for them. 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:29.680 Yeah, it's because you're you're getting a bigger thrill, temporary thrill, 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.400 out of being involved in gambling than apparently you are 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:37.000 out of collecting twenty six million dollars a year playing basketball. Now, 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.520 he was probably pulled himself out of the game and 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.760 faked an injury because he owed a bunch of money. 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:44.040 Isn't that what we're assuming? 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:50.360 Yeah? Yeah, and he was compelled to uh, not go 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.800 past a certain number of points the mobster's bet the under. 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.680 But yeah, how much was it money that he owed? 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:02.720 Or were they blackmailing him? Or how can you owe money. 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:05.880 Unless you and you'd have to know you have to 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:07.920 owe a lot. I think his total life earnings is 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:09.880 one hundred and thirty million. Now you got taxes, he 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.280 got agents, you got your lifestyle. How much he's got left, 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.080 I don't know, but I think it'd be enough to 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:16.680 cover whatever. 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:21.040 He owed, right right. I mean he could pay play 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.520 a million dollar a hand blackjack and lose ten hands 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.560 in a row and pay the guy back by the 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.400 end of the year, and he'll never make another cent. 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:33.120 And who knows, there might not be some sort of 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:34.880 lawsuit where they go back and say, hey, we're not 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:36.319 going to pay him for we want. 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.480 We are our money back from the years we're paying him. 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:42.760 Who knows what their contract is, But he will never 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.000 make another cent as an NBA player, certainly. So, it's 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:49.760 from a logical standpoint, not the best move. Wow, it's 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.040 amazing the things that. 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:55.360 People will do. Yeah, it is. Hey, speaking of sports, Michael, 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:59.319 the world serious kicks off tonight. Indulge me. Won't you. 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.240 This is my musical hero, Geddy Lee of Rush talking 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.040 about throwing out the first pitch at a Blue Jays game. 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:10.120 He's a maniac baseball player. He's also forner. He is Canadian, Yes, 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:14.599 and he's one of the world's leading collectors of baseball memorabilia. 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.640 It's still insane his collection. Oh yeah, he could open 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:21.920 up a museum easily. It's it's amazing. Go ahead, I 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.680 can throw a pitch. The Blue Jays asked me to 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:28.760 throw the home opener first pitch. I practiced like hell 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:33.040 as you can imagine. He's a Canadian music icon. He 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:37.280 is the vocalist, bassist and keyboardists with the Toronto rock 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:38.320 band Rush. 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.360 John has been welcoming to the Beatle to throw out 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:41.520 the ceremonial first pitch. 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:48.079 Kenny Lee. I threw a perfect curveball for a stripe. Wow, 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:52.120 ndies and gentlemen, girls and boys. Kenny Lee. 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.840 One with the breaking pitch controversial, Yeah, no kidding? And 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:58.000 is he doing it again tonight? 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.640 I don't know. So that was back in thirteen. 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.720 First of all, his English is pretty good for foreigner, 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:10.560 right you like we've been talking about Wait till you 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.880 hear the rain of booze on the national anthem in Canada? 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:17.840 What if the main chances they're not going to air that. 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.079 They always air the national anthem, but maybe they won't tonight. 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.400 I don't know that. Yeah, I think they hear it, 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.240 And in fact, if they were planning not to air it, 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.240 I'd bump a commercial or two to air it because 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:35.719 that will get tremendous attention to the next telecast. WHOA. 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:43.360 So, then does that make Americans angry and like go 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:45.720 all in on rooting for the Dodgers in a way 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:47.560 that they might not normally? It becomes more of a 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:49.559 USA versus Canada thing. 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:54.440 No, I don't. Will dodgertchet up Americans dislike of Canada? 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.240 I don't know if he can't either, And Dodger hate 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.640 for people who don't like the Dodgers runs pretty. 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:02.160 Deeps a long time San Francisco Giants fan, No is 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:06.160 the answer. No, right, yeah, I'm gonna watch chance first 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:09.520 pitch if the game starts at five o'clock West Coast time, 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:13.959 eight Eastern more on the waist to hear Heydie. 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.199 This is what they call a wet lab. They get 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.439 a bunch of volunteers to come in and drink. 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.160 Terry, I need you to go have a double And. 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:22.959 So they get a double drink until they have the 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.840 right VAC level according to the breathaweiser. And now we'll 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:27.640 see if any of the people who are drinking can 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:29.880 pass the sobriety test. The guy who had the most 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.640 to drink had fourteen drinks over. 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:33.760 About two and a half hours. 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:35.840 Yeah, he didn't pass the test. 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:37.320 Neither did anybody else. 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.800 The cadets said that they would have arrested every single 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:41.760 person who was in that room drinking if they were 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:42.880 stopped on the side of the road. 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.400 Don't drink and drive. That's the important message the cops 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.120 can tell. I don't know what the message was there. 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:49.640 Joe and I have done that a couple of different 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:53.000 times where we got all drunked up with the highway patrol. Yeah, 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.440 this was a different program where they get people drunk 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.960 and then they like unleash him on cadets to see 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.800 if to give him practice and giving sobriety tests to drunks. 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:04.719 Have you done that before, Katie on the air, where 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.840 you get drunk? I have. It's a good time. 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.600 You ever gotten drunk alone? Just to make your problems 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.560 go away. 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:20.760 Yeah. Last night and tonight, yeah, it was it. Actually, 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.199 it was crazy fun while it lasted. This is back 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.000 in Jack's Drink of days. Obviously, I was very proud 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.840 of the fact that my time's kept getting better until 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.720 it's a lot like my golf game until I, you know, 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.480 obviously crossed the line till it doesn't. Yeh. Felt like 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:39.160 crap that afternoon though we did it during the morning drive. Yeah. 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:43.200 Same here makes the day kind of long, I'd say, well, 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.400 it makes the day go away. You sleep for the 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:46.280 rest of it usually. 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.240 Hey, I meant to get to these stats on sports 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.360 gambling that are kind of interesting. Rich Lowry, writing in 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.760 the New York Post about he's he thinks it was 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:04.320 a mistake the Supreme Court legalizing gambling. So thirty eight 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:08.760 states jumped on board immediately with sports betting that we 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:10.920 didn't have before because of a Supreme Court ruling that 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:12.959 basically the government doesn't have the right to not let 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:16.960 you do that is basically in But so the most 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.280 recent year, they have numbers for twenty twenty three, people 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:23.720 waged one hundred and fifty billion dollars nationwide. 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.200 Wow, just in America, one hundred and. 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.680 Fifty billion on the Super Bowl, the most bet on activity, 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:33.600 seventy thousand wagers a minute. Now, this is all, you know, 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:37.480 getting toward the how much pressure there could be on 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.040 there's so much money involved, there could be pressure on 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.439 referees or players or coaches or whatever to do something 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.240 untoward and getting in on a little of the betting 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:51.120 seventy thousand wagers a minute during the Super Bowl. An 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:56.800 article in The Atlantic, a guy studying at this all 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:00.440 for the Manhattan Institute wrote, the rise of sports has 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:05.040 caused a wave of financial and familial misery, one that 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:10.480 falls disproportionately on the most economically precarious households. Well, that's 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.880 true for obvious reasons. You lose ten thousand dollars in 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:17.080 your poor does a lot more damage than if you're rich. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:21.400 So there's got to be a term for this among 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:27.840 people who study it. But the concept that prostitution is illegal, 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:33.840 everybody knows there's escorts, and you know, there's a certain 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:37.680 amount of prostitution, and they have a bust, rubb and tugs. 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.000 They have a couple of busts a year. Everybody goes 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.520 through the motions and it all looks all looks a 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:48.760 little bit silly, but that keeps a from like just 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:53.200 blatant street walking hose from walking by elementary schools and 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.880 it becoming rampant, and it gives the cops an excuse 0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:01.400 to contact people who they suspect being trafficked or exploited 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:05.280 or underage or that sort of thing. In the same 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.920 way that the speed limit is seventy, they don't expect 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:09.720 you to go seventy. They just don't want you to 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:14.280 go ninety. There's and there was always lots and lots 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:18.040 of betting when gambling was quote unquote illegal, but it 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:23.680 held back the tide a little bit. And that's difficult 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.280 to explain in a way that is constitutional in the 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.880 face of a good lawyer's argument. You have to have 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:35.360 like really consistent moral codes among a society. You gotta 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:36.600 have a homogenous society. 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.800 And where it always gets complicated in a welfare state 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:43.320 is like, I personally have zero problem with you having 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.800 the freedom to ruin your life gambling as long as 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:47.520 I ain't got to pay for you and your kids. 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.520 But that ain't the way it works. That is not 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.480 the way it works. If you end up on hard 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:53.920 times or can't have a dignified retirement when you reach 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.400 old age, because you've been gambling your whole life, I'm 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.160 expected to pick up the tab. So that's where it 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.760 becomes a problem. This is an interesting number. This is 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:04.640 similar to drinking. Everyone's well, you see the stats where 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.440 it's like and I was one of these people, like 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.080 ten percent of drinkers by ninety percent of the alcohol 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:11.440 or something like that, because there's so many people that 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.720 have a beer a weekend. Well, the rest of us 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:18.160 are doing the heavy lifting. But for sports betting, it's similar. 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:22.600 About five percent of betters spent seventy percent of the 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.920 money over a two year period, five percent of the 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.000 betters did seventy percent of the spending. 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:30.080 Not surprised. 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:33.400 Yeah, and again, do what all you want, as long 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:37.960 as I'm not sending you snap money for your kids 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:40.880 because you can't afford to feed them. 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:42.920 Right, and as long as it doesn't screw up my 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:46.960 favorite sports because it's everywhere all the time, and the 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:51.080 temptations to do the unthinkable or you know, ever present 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.200 for the players and coaches and referees and the rest 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:53.440 of it. 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.680 Remind me about I bought some gourmet coffee and EBT 0:16:57.800 --> 0:16:59.600 snap money I want to. I want to tell that story. 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:01.440 I just came across yesterday. I thought it was kind 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:01.840 of funny. 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:07.479 You're on Snap thinks, all right, you need some help. No, No, 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:11.399 I'm not on Snap. Oh okay yet I am in 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:13.480 the radio industry. We got a lot more of the 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:14.200 ways to hear. 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.280 Armstrong and Getty and all. 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.560 I tell you. You hear people say all the time. 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.399 You know, you can't buy junk food with food stamps, 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.240 so that sort of thing. Boy, I came across a 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:28.560 lie that that is the other day. 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:29.520 Stay tuned. 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:31.160 Yeah. 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.239 Yeah, it's a huge flaming lie. My god. It's one 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.760 of the few things I agree with Doctor Ozbont. Anyway, 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:39.199 once in a while we'll do this. I get to 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.640 the end of the week, I Jo Suph, Getty get 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:43.240 to the end of the week, and I've got so 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:47.000 many articles and tabs open that are really interesting and 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:48.359 I'd love to get to them on the show, but 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.560 I'm just not going to. So we just will buzz 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.639 through a bunch of them. Jack, any of them intrigue you, 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:56.520 in particular, we can go into some detail. It's called 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:58.720 Joe closes as tabs. We haven't done this for a 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:02.040 long time, and I decided that it needed theme music. 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:05.199 So Hanson, working his AI magic, has come up with 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.960 some options. First, we need to pick the theme music. 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:19.040 Everybody gets a vote, Michael. Number one, please, Joey closes 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:24.160 is tag. That'll be hard to beat this one, showing 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:29.959 me it's a little long. It's way too long. I 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.879 like the style though, all right. Number two, Michael, Joey. 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:46.320 For our purposes, that's better. Yeah, it's pretty good too, right. 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:51.720 Number three? I like that. 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:54.159 I like that one the best. I think for what 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:55.760 for what we're using it for? I might be number 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:56.360 three myself. 0:18:56.680 --> 0:19:07.960 Mm hm. I got to hear number two again, Michael Joy. Okay, 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:09.320 I'm glad I tasted that again. 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:11.000 I'm getting hints of berries and I had a bit 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:13.159 of a chocolate flavor at the end. 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:17.320 Yeah, okay, well we'll probably go with number three if 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:21.080 that's which one do you like? I like both two 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:26.000 and three, but either one. Yeah, yeah, fantastic. Anyway, here 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:26.280 we go. 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:30.480 Schools are accommodating Michelangelo, not wanting to anger either of 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:31.800 the people's names on the show. 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:40.879 That's what that was. You caught me checking for craps. 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:44.960 I have none to give which one, students are accommodating 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:49.040 student anxiety. I'm sorry, schools are accommodating student anxiety and 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:54.399 making it worse. The authors of the study say, having 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:58.960 kids avoid that which makes them anxious makes their anxiety 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:02.080 about a particular thing worse. I don't doubt that a 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:05.000 bit like test taking your public speaking, which speaking is 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:05.679 a great idea. 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:07.920 I know it's very common. Like you, if you're really 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:10.439 nervous speaking in public, they'll let you give your speech 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:13.760 alone after school to just the teacher. You think that's 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:16.199 gonna help you in the future when you have to 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:18.760 finally speak in public, which you will at some point. 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.160 And this is a study, and they use a bunch 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:25.159 of data, but some of their conclusions are just intuitive. 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:30.480 Academic accommodations for anxiety convey two harmful messages. First, they 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:34.200 imply that the feared situation is truly dangerous, right when 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:38.320 it's not at all. Public speaking, testing, lunch with classmates 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:41.840 are too risky. For the lunch with classmates, that's rough. Second, 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:46.320 they suggest that the student can't students can't withstand the distress. 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:51.439 Those messages increase anxiety. I mean, I'm supposed to the 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:54.320 more dad like you'll be fine, Go ahead, I'd be great. 0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:56.120 I can speak to that one perfectly. So I didn't 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:58.239 have problem with public speaking or tests or anything like that. 0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:00.720 I did have the lunch with classmates, probably because I 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.439 moved schools a lot, and I know exactly what it 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:05.280 feels like to walk out into that lunch room and 0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:07.240 know you're gonna go sit on a table by yourself, 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:09.000 all right, with everybody looking at you. 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:10.160 I know that feeling exactly. 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:13.240 But if the teachers had accommodated me by you, you 0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:15.960 can eat in here with us by yourself, you think 0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:19.560 that would have made me a better, more resilient human 0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:20.480 being or less? 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:27.000 I mean, good Lord, right right? So many of the 0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:33.119 woke policies that you know we've said all longer terrible ideas, 0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:34.920 or just at least people are saying it out loud 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:38.720 now they're terrible ide Wow. The most wanted fentanyl producer 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.679 is extradited to the US after a brazen escaped. This 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:46.200 guy's name. He's Chinese, Jidong Ziang. He was the big 0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:52.439 go between between the Chinese fentanyl precursor chemical producers and 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:58.199 the Mexican cartels. Evidently, he escaped from house arrest in 0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:02.600 Mexico house arrest or. He was set to be extradited 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:06.000 to the US. He hopped on a private jet to Cuba, 0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:08.840 then tried to fly to Russia. They wouldn't have him, 0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:12.760 send him back to Cuba. Now Cuba's extraditing him to 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:15.720 Mexico and from there he was delivered to the US. 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:17.560 So we have him now. Never heard of this guy. 0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:19.320 He's one of the most important drug dealers on the 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:24.200 planet and he's a Chinese national. I'll be damned. Another 0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:29.440 headline with the owner if he is mostly run in fentanyl. Oh, 0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:34.479 see headline is most wanted fentanyl producer. Yeah, that was 0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:34.920 his gig. 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:38.919 I remember having an argument with somebody who thought I 0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:42.160 was a conspiracy theory nut for saying China was trying 0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:43.520
