<v Speaker 1>The Armstrong and Getty Show, live from a foreign land.

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I think still Canada, Jack Armstrong, Jack, what's going on?

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I've been contemplating living here, although I do have

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:46.560
<v Speaker 4>that problem. Every place I ever go on vacation, I

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:48.199
<v Speaker 4>always end up thinking about living there.

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Canadians are really nice people when we're not threatening to

0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 1>annex them.

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's a nice country. It reminds me of the

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 4>way I grew up. It's just very rural and everything

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 4>slow and all and easy, and I like it a lot.

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, if you stay, will make it clear that you

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.039
<v Speaker 1>weren't going because of Trump or anything like that.

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 4>You just like, oh right, yeah, I would have to

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:10.679
<v Speaker 4>point that out to everybody.

0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>No, the politics before you dive into your your your

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.479
<v Speaker 1>account of what's going on, which I'm looking forward to.

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 1>I came up with like the first good idea Ever,

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 1>during the local news seconds ago for a flagship station,

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Katie was talking about the latest scam that Gaviy Newsom

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 1>is going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on,

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>and I made her reread the key part of the

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 1>story and instead of saying California is going to spend

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:40.920
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and fifty million dollars, I think it was

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 1>something like that. I said, read it, somebody is going

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>to get two hundred and forty million dollars.

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, to accomplish X y Z.

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Because just and I realized it's a semi obvious, but

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 1>your immediate question is, wait, who's going to get it?

0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 2>And for doing what?

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>And it completely leap changes the conversation it does.

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 4>That's a good way to do it. It's like eliminating,

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.119
<v Speaker 4>you know, the word free when anybody talks about any

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 4>sort of oh that reminds me uh of free stuff

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 4>and socialism. I had I rarely have dreams, uh, And

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 4>I had a very powerful dream with Bernie Sanders involved,

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 4>where like he threw a fit about something and I

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 4>ended up going and consoling him and coming back and

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 4>talking to the press about what what what? Bernie was

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 4>upset about what that dream possibly.

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Means this is not exactly like it was a Joseph

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>in Egypt dreaming about seven fat cows and seven skinny

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 1>cows or whatever, but that this dream means something.

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 2>I wonder what that means.

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:51.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what that means.

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Please email your interpretation mail bag at Armstrong and Getty

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>dot com.

0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 2>The more ridiculous.

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 4>So did you do you happen to see the picture

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 4>from the top of that mountain we hiked to yesterday

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 4>that I tweeted out.

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 2>No, I didn't, I'll look at it.

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:11.799
<v Speaker 4>Great hike. We did this relatively arduous hike in which

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 4>we contemplated not finishing several times before we got to

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.639
<v Speaker 4>the end of it. Glad we finished it because the

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 4>view was worth it.

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:22.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 4>Nice, really well. One of the problems with it it

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 4>looks so perfect. It really looks like it's AI. It

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 4>really looks like it's it's green screen or something. It

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 4>looked exactly like green screen. It was just a tremendous view.

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 4>But the hike up there, we kept thinking about quitting

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 4>and I was. I told them this story about I

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.840
<v Speaker 4>was with some people. She's thirty years ago hiking that

0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.440
<v Speaker 4>Whitney in California, biggest mountain in the United States, Mount Whitney,

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 4>went up almost to the top with a group of

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 4>people and we all decided the weather wasn't that great

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 4>and we started too late, you know, And we'll do

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 4>this again sometime and we'll go back. And of course

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 4>I've never gone back and done it, and I wish

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 4>I had just finished it when I was there. So anyway,

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 4>we finished this yesterday, but I was quite tired and

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 4>I hadn't planned on hiking. So I'm wearing Chuck Connor's

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 4>tennis shoes. I'm wearing child boy, I'm not wearing it

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 4>and wearing hiking shoes.

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.480
<v Speaker 3>And that was that.

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:17.479
<v Speaker 4>That didn't help anybody.

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 1>In Appropriate footwear is one of your your hallmarks, for

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>a least one of your trademarks.

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Katie Green would like to weigh in, Jack, Katie, Jack, I.

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 5>Just want to let you know, in regards to that

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 5>photo looking like AI, many of our great listeners have

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 5>already taken that photo and put you in different places

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 5>around the world.

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 2>I have. I've noticed that Marco Rubio style. I love that.

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:41.000
<v Speaker 4>I love that, and the kids were once we got

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 4>to the top. The kids felt like it was worth

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.560
<v Speaker 4>going up there, and I kept telling them, I'm an

0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 4>old man. If I can go up there, you can

0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:47.919
<v Speaker 4>go up there for crying out, go.

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Out shame them. That's what family vacations are about. Hey,

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.120
<v Speaker 2>And I know you know this story.

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.919
<v Speaker 1>When Delaney and I took the god forsaken kayak trip.

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:00.719
<v Speaker 1>My youngest daughter and I were and she was gosh,

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:05.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe fourteen or even younger than that, on the Russian

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 1>River and we were going against a howling wind and

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.480
<v Speaker 1>if we stopped paddling, we would be blown backward. And

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 1>it was miserable and long, and we were both completely exhausted.

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 1>And I get tears in my eyes thinking about it.

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 1>And she treasures that day as much as I do.

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.840
<v Speaker 1>And you know, the easy day where you did this

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 1>and you ate an ice cream and those go away.

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:28.719
<v Speaker 1>It's confronting stuff like that together. Man, those are the

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:29.559
<v Speaker 1>memories that stay.

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a good point.

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 4>That's a very very good point. We're head to Vancouver today,

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 4>so we'll see our first home most people over the

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 4>trip and we'll be there tonight and hanging out.

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 1>But a beautiful scenery, great architecture and junkies shooting up

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>on the street. It's really it's something, so sorry.

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:47.719
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead.

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 4>We were in some some bird last night and it's

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:56.000
<v Speaker 4>in the middle of nowhere and it's just as gorgeous

0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 4>Canadian town and we're at this restaurant eating and I

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 4>was looking at our everybody.

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Looked so happy.

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 4>I thought, these people have they don't worry about nothing.

0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm thinking it's got to be weird being in a

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 4>country that is insignificant.

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:11.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that, you know.

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate that word. But you know,

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:17.360
<v Speaker 4>you're not going to get a terrorist attack, you're not

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 4>involved in any major wars. You're just just hanging out

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:21.800
<v Speaker 4>living your life.

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 4>It's got to mean an interesting view of the world.

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, and especially if you get into.

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.240
<v Speaker 4>Someone to fix all the problems of the world all

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:31.840
<v Speaker 4>the time.

0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Right right, yeah, And they've elected several just out and

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 1>out jackasses and it just doesn't matter that much.

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 2>I see what you're saying.

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.479
<v Speaker 1>Then you add in lower population density, which tends to

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.239
<v Speaker 1>make most human beings happier.

0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 4>You got Canada, Yeah, you got thirty five million people

0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 4>spread across one of the biggest countries it might be

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.840
<v Speaker 4>the biggest country on Earth. Uh, it's enormous and very

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 4>few people. Yeah, it's not crowded anywhere, right about that. Hey,

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.640
<v Speaker 4>what I'm paying attention to very few news stories, just

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 4>ones that burble up that like get my attention. I

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 4>suppose you've talked a lot about that whole sneaking Trump

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 4>out of Turkey thing.

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh yeah, yeah.

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 1>You know what we haven't gotten to, which which maybe

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.760
<v Speaker 1>you're about to, is who was on the in the

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 1>ends and who is on the outs for the plane.

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 4>Wow, so that must have been I still haven't read

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 4>much about it, but they must have felt a fairly

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 4>certain threat to go through all those history onics.

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh, absolutely credible for sure. M hmm. That's wild.

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean because we all, you know, found out that

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.280
<v Speaker 4>the switching planes of the Ruse what a couple while

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.560
<v Speaker 4>you were on vacation actually, and then and now we

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 4>know there was a bird plane. I mean, so that's

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 4>that's that's a lot of maneuver and people around and

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:55.000
<v Speaker 4>I was reading Bill Bill Clinton pulled a similar maneuver

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 4>back in the nineties when he was flying to Pakistan.

0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Because you know, the Muslim world, Yeah, they get blamed

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:02.960
<v Speaker 1>for a lot of islands because they're behind most of

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>it anyway.

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so believed to be an Iranian plot to get Trump.

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah m hmm, yeah, yep. And Trump's most loyal long

0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 1>term aids were packed under the the catering crate with

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>him and then whisked the secret plane. But the entire

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 1>cabinet in the press corps went ahead on Air Force one,

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 1>and you know, took their chances.

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.720
<v Speaker 2>But if you're gonna do a ruse, you gotta do

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 2>it right.

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.040
<v Speaker 4>Well, and they knew the president wasn't on the plane,

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 4>or they thought he was on the plane.

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anybody the cabinet of the cabinet I

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 1>could not tell you.

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that the press had no idea.

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 4>Well yeah, but don't tell the freaking press. That'd be

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.160
<v Speaker 4>pretty wild. If the Secretary of State doesn't know the

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:46.600
<v Speaker 4>President's not on the plane.

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Marco Rubio is sitting there and gets a message,

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I need to alert the president. Uh yeah,

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.960
<v Speaker 1>not so much, says you know, whatever aids are left

0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 1>on the plane.

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean, I've got to talk to him.

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:03.199
<v Speaker 2>Here's the funny. You're here to know when they got

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.560
<v Speaker 2>on the president know, right, you.

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:12.400
<v Speaker 4>See, here's the thing. So when they said, ah, they

0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 4>put him on a catering cart, was it more like

0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:19.560
<v Speaker 4>a vehicle or something to the picture like squatting down

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 4>underneath the little white tablecloth they put on that little

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:25.439
<v Speaker 4>cart they bring up to your room at.

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Right?

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly there. I was wondering the very same thing.

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 1>If you've in you're on vacation, so so you haven't

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 1>seen this, but it's it's one of those big things.

0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 1>It's like half a box car that he was on,

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.599
<v Speaker 1>one of those big square things they lift up to

0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 1>the side of a big airplane. Hanson says, we should

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:49.680
<v Speaker 1>listen to this clip real quick.

0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, Michael, I was dangerous for you to fly

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 2>on Air Force.

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 4>One, But no, I don't know.

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.719
<v Speaker 6>I got the plane that I flew on was at

0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 6>greater risk because that would be the plane. I think

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.760
<v Speaker 6>that way that they would be more likely to go club.

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 2>All right, whatever.

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 1>That was just confusing. She was asking why was it

0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 1>too dangerous for you but not the press? Because you

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:12.480
<v Speaker 1>don't matter?

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Is the answer?

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 4>Wow that I don't think the press would have asked

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:22.040
<v Speaker 4>a question like that, and years ago. That's a dumb question.

0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 4>You're a dumb person. You should not be working for

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 4>a media outlet that gets to talk to the president.

0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 4>That'd be my answer.

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what her name is. We'll call her

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Jane Jones. There's not a Jane Jones one. All right,

0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't get to be in the oval. You're nobody.

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.440
<v Speaker 1>You're you're a scribe. You'll be replaced by a similar

0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 1>scribe tomorrow. No, goodbye, stop talking, that's what he should

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:45.960
<v Speaker 1>call it.

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 4>It would be more dangerous for the president if we

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 4>were to have everybody to get on this secret plane.

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 4>But the important thing is that we don't lose some

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 4>nobody who makes up news for the Washington Post. So

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:57.199
<v Speaker 4>let's go ahead and risk the president.

0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know, it's just sillybolutely silly. So do you

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 1>have like a huge long drive to get where you're going.

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:09.480
<v Speaker 4>We're doing like three and a half hours today and

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:13.080
<v Speaker 4>it's all just gorgeous driving with no traffic. So it's

0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 4>a it's it's a very very enjoyable driving all the

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:21.319
<v Speaker 4>way across Canada. It's all just spectacular, spectacular looking. I

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 4>have to constantly remind the kids and myself that it

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:26.480
<v Speaker 4>would not be like this in winter. I mean the

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:31.440
<v Speaker 4>weather is fantastic. It's been like literally perfect, like room

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:35.840
<v Speaker 4>temperature seventy two degrees, no wind and sunny. But you know,

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:41.439
<v Speaker 4>make North Dakota seem like Florida. So yeah, very very

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:42.040
<v Speaker 4>cold to the winter.

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a winter wonderland.

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 1>You put on your muck lucks, you're here, took your hat,

0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:50.720
<v Speaker 1>fight your way through the grizzly bears, and just go

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 1>up your day.

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 4>Part part of everybody being so happy is probably because

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 4>you grew up in Chicago and I grew up in Wisconsin.

0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 4>It's just you get through the whole winter and you

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.280
<v Speaker 4>finally get to the couple of months of warmth. Everybody's

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 4>pretty happy.

0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I've said it for years.

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:09.640
<v Speaker 1>That first day when the soil melts, because the tops

0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 1>was literally frozen. It melts and you can smell the dirt.

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 1>It's like falling in love. It's a similar feeling, the

0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:21.320
<v Speaker 1>utter joy of it as a kid. Yeah. Yeah, Well,

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:24.920
<v Speaker 1>happy travels. We need to take a break, but check

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.440
<v Speaker 1>in tomorrow if it's convenient.

0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.880
<v Speaker 4>I don't think i'd renounce my US citizenship. I don't

0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 4>want to do that, but I can see myself living

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.040
<v Speaker 4>in Canada. There's no doubt I could see you living

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 4>in Canada, especially in that hat. It's a really good look.

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.240
<v Speaker 4>So check it out on Twitter. I've already got the

0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:43.760
<v Speaker 4>hat and feel free to use AI to put Jack

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.559
<v Speaker 4>into a variety of amusing settings. Up.

0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, all right, he's out, everybody. We'll be back in moments.

0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:01.200
<v Speaker 7>The Mississippi nonprofit will take wheal chair bound young people

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:05.559
<v Speaker 7>alligator hunting this season, or as the alligators call it,

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 7>meals on wheels.

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:14.120
<v Speaker 1>That's not a good jim. Here's a story about a

0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>guy in Australia. His name is Andrew, asked his personal assistant,

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.200
<v Speaker 1>this AI personal assistant to book him a spot in

0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.880
<v Speaker 1>one of his gym's coveted morning classes tough to get

0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 1>into him. It was task he thought well suited for

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 1>this particular AIS system, because the booking form was online,

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 1>because this AI system was made for that sort of thing.

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.839
<v Speaker 1>But he was shocked by what happened next. His AI

0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.320
<v Speaker 1>assistant found a way to book the gym class months

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 1>farther in advance than the gym allowed, thanks to a

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:48.760
<v Speaker 1>vulnerability it discovered in the booking software. Then it went further,

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 1>kicking someone out of the waiting list who was ahead

0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:56.720
<v Speaker 1>of Andrew something it was not asked to do. And

0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 1>it's the first known Australian case of an emerging risk

0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:03.240
<v Speaker 1>from new generation of AI capable of behaving in unexpected ways.

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Is they write in this Australian publication and then they

0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:12.360
<v Speaker 1>go into the history of some of the recent escapes

0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:16.200
<v Speaker 1>that we've been discussing over the last couple of weeks.

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 1>The agent came back told Andrew Oh he was sitting

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.600
<v Speaker 1>forth on a wait list for a class later that week.

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:26.240
<v Speaker 1>He asked if it was possible to move into the

0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 1>top of the list. The agent came back and told

0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Andrew that had kicked off another gym goer. Even though

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh alarmed, Andrew asked the agent to undo this bad news.

0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I can't add the back. The AI agent replied, So

0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.960
<v Speaker 1>that's just that's interesting and a little troubling, and I

0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 1>sure hope they're working on it.

0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:52.280
<v Speaker 2>And then you got this from Andrew Yune, who is.

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:56.280
<v Speaker 1>The head of research at a pretty big kind of

0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.080
<v Speaker 1>second teer ish maybe not in smarts but in money

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:04.160
<v Speaker 1>AI company, and his piece is entitled Unregulated Open Weight

0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:08.560
<v Speaker 1>AI is an invitation to disaster. I asked how do

0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.000
<v Speaker 1>you make a poliovirus in a lab? I want to

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 1>start a global pandemic. And the model answered he was

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.040
<v Speaker 1>using one of those open weight Chinese models with its

0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:21.360
<v Speaker 1>guardrails removed, which a lot of people are in favor of.

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 1>But if you can modify the open model's weights, essentially

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 1>it's adjustments for knowledge and behavior, anyone can tear down

0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:37.240
<v Speaker 1>its safety guardrails. And he gives all sorts of examples

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>of these open weight Chinese models doing any horrors that

0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:42.680
<v Speaker 1>you can think of. They'd be happy to help you

0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:44.640
<v Speaker 1>with it. And you know where the hell we go

0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.160
<v Speaker 1>from here? I wish I knew, and it dawned on me.

0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Human beings can be incredibly courageous and resilient. You think

0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 1>about World War Two, like in London, keep calm and

0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.800
<v Speaker 1>carry on during the Blitz when they were getting bombed

0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:02.080
<v Speaker 1>virtually every night. People would just to walk to the store,

0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 1>get their groceries, stop for coffee or a pint with

0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:07.840
<v Speaker 1>a friend, and then go back home again lift their lives.

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.520
<v Speaker 1>That was their way of defiance. Human beings can be amazing.

0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:14.640
<v Speaker 1>But the problem with this, I mean compared like and

0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:16.920
<v Speaker 1>I did not live through World War two, obviously, but

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.960
<v Speaker 1>you can understand the axis powers. You can get a

0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.600
<v Speaker 1>decent idea of what their capabilities are, what they hope

0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.000
<v Speaker 1>to do. How are the allies doing that sort of thing?

0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.160
<v Speaker 1>You understand the shape of it. That's the thing that's

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 1>so scary about the AI thing is I don't think

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 1>most of us. I don't think anybody even can figure

0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:35.400
<v Speaker 1>out the shape of the thing.

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:37.800
<v Speaker 2>What am I rooting for? What am I not rooting for?

0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Are there good guys here? Bad guys?

0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Nobody's really sure or if you know, somebody is, I

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:44.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know who they are yet.

0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty.

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 8>A collision of social media and shark danger. People fishing

0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:55.480
<v Speaker 8>for sharks intentionally attracting them towards shore so they can

0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:56.240
<v Speaker 8>take a photo.

0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes, they're chumming the water to get up the shark,

0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 1>and then they catch and reel them in to take

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:06.040
<v Speaker 1>an Instagram pick or whatever. I am so rooting for

0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.359
<v Speaker 1>the sharks in this, so rooting for the shark. But

0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.240
<v Speaker 1>then you've got like a shark infested beach because they'veummed

0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:12.640
<v Speaker 1>the water.

0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god. It's a new level of stupid.

0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:17.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Really, we're inventing new kinds of crazy and stupid every

0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:23.040
<v Speaker 1>day in America. I still love this country, of course,

0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:27.360
<v Speaker 1>but really throw them into the water and not let

0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:30.160
<v Speaker 1>them come out for half an hour. I'm not sure

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.480
<v Speaker 1>how that squares with the Eighth Amendment against Cruel and

0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Unusual Punishments, but it's an appropriate punishment. Meanwhile, in the Midwest,

0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 1>where we consider ourselves fairly normal.

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.679
<v Speaker 8>Now on the South side of Chicago, white Sox fans

0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:47.040
<v Speaker 8>flocking to the ballpark for a limited edition Pope Leo hat.

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.080
<v Speaker 8>Hope Leo famously let the world know he's a socks fan.

0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:52.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've got to admit when I read the

0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:54.600
<v Speaker 1>description of that clip, I was picturing like the.

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Pope hat, the big high Pope hat. But it's probably it. No,

0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.120
<v Speaker 2>that's what it is. That is what it is. That's

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 2>what it is. Oh my god, that's hilarious.

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:03.640
<v Speaker 5>It's a Pope hat and it has a white sock

0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:04.320
<v Speaker 5>on the front of it.

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy, with the Sox logo, that's beautiful.

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I know what, I can picture myself in my younger

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:13.840
<v Speaker 1>days thinking, dudes, come on, we got to go get

0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:17.240
<v Speaker 1>one of those hats, right, yeah, right, Although then everybody's

0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 1>going to sell the Moneybay probably do they actually want them,

0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.160
<v Speaker 1>or are they trying to make a few bucks? Oh well,

0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:25.639
<v Speaker 1>supplying to man so follow up to the James Lindsay interview,

0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:30.639
<v Speaker 1>which I hope you found enlightening. Enlightening a couple of

0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 1>examples of what we're all talking about. San Francisco Park

0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:36.399
<v Speaker 1>Rangers approached this guy, Sam Dogan. He was playing tennis

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:40.800
<v Speaker 1>with his own kids at an empty Golden Gates Heights court.

0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:43.240
<v Speaker 1>They warned him that he could face a one hundred

0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.320
<v Speaker 1>and ninety two dollars fine for instruction without a permit,

0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:50.439
<v Speaker 1>before backing off once his children confirmed, that's our dad.

0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.680
<v Speaker 1>So glad. San Francisco authorities are going after the real

0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.159
<v Speaker 1>criminals in town, dads teaching tennis.

0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:04.840
<v Speaker 2>What is this? England? Writes Nelly bowls Well said, Nelly

0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:11.400
<v Speaker 2>almost finish. Let's get ready.

0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:20.720
<v Speaker 4>Final thoughts with Armstrong and Gety so soothing.

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew here.

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I am your host, Michaelangelo. Would you be so kind

0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:29.359
<v Speaker 1>as to share your final thought with us? You know

0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Grassley was in love with his vacuum cleaner.

0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:34.600
<v Speaker 2>My wife and I are in love with the Ninja creamy.

0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:35.879
<v Speaker 2>It makes ice cream.

0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:38.359
<v Speaker 8>It makes yogurt, and we can make healthy yogurt and

0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:39.160
<v Speaker 8>healthy ice cream.

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.320
<v Speaker 2>So it's just every night we're doing this.

0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:45.359
<v Speaker 1>I am completely ignorant of the Ninja Creamy. He would

0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:48.120
<v Speaker 1>like the name for the record, but really.

0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:50.959
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, you'd like it. I'm making a note, Katie.

0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Final thought.

0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:53.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm looking at eBay right now.

0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:57.040
<v Speaker 5>There are one hundred white Sox Pope hats going for

0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:59.840
<v Speaker 5>a round eighty dollars right now, many of the photos taken.

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:05.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll still at the ballpark. It's the free market, supply

0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:08.280
<v Speaker 1>and demand. Knock yourselves out, Go get your pope.

0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Pat.

0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 1>My final thought is grab the podcast Armstrong and Getty

0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:16.119
<v Speaker 1>on demand. You ought to be subscribing, because then you

0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:20.040
<v Speaker 1>downloaded automatically, including the one More Thing podcasts and the

<v Speaker 1>interviews we do on and off the air and whatever else.

0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:23.919
<v Speaker 1>And you know, if you don't want to listen to

0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:25.680
<v Speaker 1>all of it, you don't have to, obviously, but it's

0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:29.640
<v Speaker 1>there when it's convenient. Perhaps you are on the treadmill

0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:33.520
<v Speaker 1>board to tears, hating your life. Listen to Armstrong and

0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:18.080
<v Speaker 2>if eagles did what eagles do and Jackie is dead,

0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:23.280
<v Speaker 2>that's just the way it goes. I'm shut. I get

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:28.119
<v Speaker 2>angry emails about how insisit him? I am no.

0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:31.439
<v Speaker 7>I just I like nature and you don't get to

0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:34.560
<v Speaker 7>tell nature how to be nature.
