I had that conversation 92 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: with my son yesterday. 93 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: He's all worried about AI, like he can't get to 94 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: sleep at night because of it, with his anxiety and 95 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: everything like that, And I just talked to him about 96 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: how being the people who survive in the world are 97 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: people who have the ability to change as things change, 98 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: and because it just things always change, and you either 99 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: change with the new things, or you don't make it. 100 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: And that's like a better skill than any of the 101 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: other skills you could pick up, is the skill to change. 102 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 2: I don't know. He seemed to be heartened by that somehow, but. 103 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 4: Uh right, yeah, yeah, just accepting what is clearly true 104 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 4: and can't be changed. It's got to be interesting to 105 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 4: be inside the brain of somebody who can't do that, 106 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 4: who is so resentful or afraid or angry. I don't 107 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 4: know that they just kind of stop trying. 108 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: I guess it's and listen, I said that with sympathy, because, 109 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: as we've said many times, change is the only constant, right, 110 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 2: we all accept that, But it's the pace of change 111 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 2: in the twenty first century that is so astonishing. True, 112 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: it makes it much more difficult to live up to 113 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: those words. 114 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, well true, I mean, yeah, so my little speech 115 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: about that, while it is true, it has never had 116 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: to be applied the way people are going to apply 117 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: it over the next five to twenty years. 118 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 2: Right. 119 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: Ever, ever in history go, everybody was lecturing me to 120 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: learn to code. I have learned to code. Now they 121 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: don't want code. What should I do now? 122 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 5: Oh? 123 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 2: Yelling people? You know, I sympathize. 124 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, as recently as eighteen months ago, that 125 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: was clearly the thing you needed to do. And that's 126 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: like the might be the single most easily replaced skill. 127 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 2: Around right now. That was the first domino to fall. 128 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: And it is true because my son brought this up 129 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: because he's a big history nut. Everything stayed exactly the 130 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:01,679 Speaker 1: same for a couple thousand years, so very very little 131 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: changed until you know, the Enlightenment in the Industrial Revolution, man, 132 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: there was not much change. 133 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 2: Yeah. 134 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, on the comforting side, I guess is we all 135 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 4: try to assess how far along AI is and what 136 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 4: its effects are going to be. I was talking to 137 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 4: my daughter the legal intern, and she said that everybody 138 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 4: now knows in law you've got to be extremely careful 139 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 4: with it because it is wildly inaccurate. Wow, between hallucinations 140 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 4: and it'll see some joker's opinion on his website and 141 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 4: he's the only guy on earth saying, for instance, this 142 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 4: law applies in Ohio. Well, in Ohio they know no, 143 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 4: it doesn't, it absolutely doesn't, and so you just you 144 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 4: can use it for certain things, but it's still very problematic. 145 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: It's also very new. I got a little more and 146 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 2: it might be all fixed in two weeks. 147 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: And the yeah, exactly, and the fact that things didn't 148 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: used to change. Imagine you go back a thousand years 149 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: and you tell some guy who's about thousand years but 150 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: five hundred years, some guy who's a blacksmith, and you 151 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: tell him nobody's going to be riding horses next year. 152 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: By next year, horses will be over. I mean, he'd 153 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: be like, what do you mean, right, what do you mean? 154 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: Of course that's impossible. Everybody's been riding horses since forever 155 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: and they're going to continue. Nope, it's all completely over, 156 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: No more horses at all. That will be completely over. 157 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 4: What by the end of the year, Yeah, I mean 158 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 4: with a phase in of the automobile took many, many moons. 159 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 4: Anybody who's ever seen pictures of the early twentieth century 160 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 4: with America's big cities that had you know, cars going 161 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 4: back and forth and like cable cars and lots of 162 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 4: horses and wagons too sure. 163 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: And then for all of rural America that was just 164 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: something you saw in pictures. It wouldn't happen where you lived. 165 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: It was very gradual as it spread across We better 166 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: start the show officially before. 167 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 2: We get in trouble with the FCC.

I was 201 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: just looking at Trump walking around the place with a 202 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: Powell and he's wearing a hard hat.

Trump doesn't look ridiculous 205 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: in them for some reason. Is it because he has 206 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: a giant head that he looks okay in a hard 207 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: hat or a McDonald's paper hat or whatever it is 208 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: he wears. 209 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 2: I've got to admit I have not thought nearly enough 210 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 2: about this issue. 211 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: Oh you know how it does really throw on various 212 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: head gear and they get mocked and mostly well, never 213 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: never put on a hat is like a rule of politics. 214 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and Trump does it all the time.

I don't know. 219 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 2: I think the hard hat thing is probably because he's 220 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 2: worn him his entire life, so he just throws it on, 221 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 2: looks comfortable in it, and doesn't walk around with it 222 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 2: perched on the top of his head like a Michael 223 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 2: Dukakis for instance. 224 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: Right, all right, hey, let's figure out who's reporting what 225 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: a pleasure it. 226 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 2: Is to have her back.

So I 344 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: wanted to bring that up just a little bit because 345 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: the FCC said it would allow Paramount to merge with 346 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 1: Hollywood studio Skydance, clearing the remain old hurdle blah blah blah. 347 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: So this Skydance corporation has bought Paramount, which owns CBS, 348 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: which owns Stephen Colbert, and fired him, and all of 349 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: mainstream and left media is still continuing to portray this 350 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: as a Trump awfulness in the President of the United 351 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: States Hitler, the Hitler President ruined one of their favorite 352 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: shows by forcing him out right, and then they say sarcastically, 353 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: CBS said it was a business decision. But and while 354 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: I agree that the timing is very unfortunate, if you're 355 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: trying to make the argument I'm trying to make. 356 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 2: I did just a quick search on this. 357 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: Comparing late shows now, which I just don't think the 358 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: formula in math works anymore as a revenue stream. 359 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 2: With Carson back in the day. 360 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: So Johnny Carson and is in his heyday, like all 361 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 1: through the seventies and and a lot of the eighties, 362 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: was drawing between twelve and seventeen million viewers a night. 363 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: Colbert gets about one million people, and the other shows 364 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 1: because it's just you know, because of the splintering of everything, 365 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: there's a big difference between a show that gets seventeen 366 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: million people and a show that gets one million people. 367 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: Johnny Carson alone for NBC, he was bringing in between 368 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: one hundred and two hundred million dollars a year to 369 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: NBC adjusted for inflation. 370 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 2: Wow, he's underpaid, And yeah, he probably was. 371 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 1: He was responsible for some of the year's twenty percent 372 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: of NBC's revenue in his one show, whereas Colbert's losing 373 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: forty million dollars a year. 374 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:46,959 Speaker 4: Right right to overlook those numbers is to not report 375 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 4: the story correct to lie. It's either to be so 376 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 4: ignorant you should be in a different line of work, 377 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 4: or you're just a liar. 378 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: That's why I brought it. Yeah, it's amazing. And when 379 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: Colbert took over, and this is not his fault. Some 380 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: of it probably is, but it's not all his fault. 381 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: When he took over, I wrote that down somewhere. Letterman 382 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: was getting around ten million people a night as a show, 383 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: doing pretty well. But again a decade ago, way different 384 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: situation for entertainment and platforms and all that sort of stuff. 385 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 2: The average age. 386 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: When Letterman was doing it was sixty Under Colbert, it 387 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 1: is sixty eight the average age of. 388 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 2: A viewer of Stephen Colbert. 389 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 4: It's sixty eight, right, right, And you can take average 390 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 4: in this this question as opposed to median, because unlike 391 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 4: the famous Bill Gates walks into a bar, there are 392 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 4: no three hundred and fifty year olds watching Colbert skewing 393 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 4: the number.

The 510 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: United States does not, and neither does Britain, Canada, Germany, 511 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: Japan and Italy. 512 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 2: What does it even mean they don't have a coherent 513 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 2: GUD I don't know. 514 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 4: And when they did, at least in terms of Gaza, 515 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 4: which is a significant chunk of what people refer to 516 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,360 Speaker 4: as quote unquote Palestine when they refer to it at all. 517 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 4: But if you're referring to to Gaza, it was run 518 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 4: by a known terrorist organization, an Islamist terrorist organization. But 519 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 4: chron has lost his mind or he's under domestic political 520 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 4: pressures which have twisted his thinking. 521 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 2: Well, I was wondering about that. Do they just have 522 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 2: such a giant, angry Muslim population in France now that 523 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 2: he feels like he's got to be on this side 524 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 2: of the story, I wonder. I wonder. Wall Street Journal 525 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 2: has a number of great opinion pieces today, including one 526 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 2: by the by a fellow by the name of Yaser 527 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 2: Abu Shabab who I did not know, entitled Gosins are 528 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 2: finished with Hamas. My popular forces control significant parts of 529 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 2: eastern Rafa and we are ready to build a new 530 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 2: future in the future. That's awesome. 531 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 4: This guy, through desperation, he and all the fellas in 532 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 4: his neighborhood were like Hamas is freaking evil. They're leading 533 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 4: to the death of all our people. We just want 534 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 4: to live, work and protect our families. So they've banded 535 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 4: together into this militia and they're saying, look, we're not 536 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 4: an ideological movement. We're a pragmatic one. We just want 537 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 4: to stop the war and everybody gets to live their lives. 538 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 4: We don't want to overthrow Israel or anybody else. 539 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: And he's and he's saying, look, I could use a 540 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: little support here because we've got in this somehow or other. Well, 541 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: you talk about the interesting see development, You talk about 542 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: brave patriots, him and all his friends who are doing that. 543 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 4: Well, his brother and his cousin got killed and or tortured, 544 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 4: and instead of capitulating as many people do, he and 545 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 4: his family members and his neighbors and his friends said, 546 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 4: you know that's over. 547 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: If we have to die fighting Hamas, we're going to 548 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: do it. We're not taking their oppression anymore. 549 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 2: I wish that would give it. 550 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: If it's been recovered on NPR, I certainly haven't heard it. 551 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: As I often say, if I ever hear a story 552 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: on NPR that is not some sort of up with 553 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: Palestinian slash Hamas, I you know it would be the 554 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: first time. 555 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, and be careful looking for noble hearted heroes in 556 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 4: the Middle East. I don't know this guy's act. What 557 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 4: he's saying is outstanding. Well, you know, judge people by 558 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 4: what they do. 559 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 2: It's true. It's true on its face what their beliefs are. 560 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 2: I have no idea. 561 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: Sure, Okay, we got a mail bag on the way 562 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: and lots of stuff to get today. I hope you 563 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: can stick around. If there's one thing that becomes a 564 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: norm from the Trump presidencies, it should be answering questions. 565 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: He's answering questions right now, like he does every single 566 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: day every president. It should just be considered normal. You 567 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: have to answer questions every day from all kinds of 568 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: different people about every time. 569 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 2: Idea. Love that idea. 570 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: Lots of presidents like Joe Biden get away with answering 571 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: no questions ever. 572 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,959 Speaker 4: And sending a little halfwit up there to half answer 573 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 4: half witted questions from the biased media. 574 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is so much better. I mean, I think 575 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 2: Trump does it because he's in the ego media. Aya 576 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 2: really likes the attention. Yeah, but but he. 577 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: Does answer questions every single day from hostile media constantly. 578 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: And he he just commented on pardoning Glanne Maxwell, whether 579 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: he would do that or not, almost people outside the 580 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: White House, and a number of other things that. 581 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 2: We'll get to later in the show. Love it. 582 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. That's not 583 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: really a freedom loving quote of the day. I just 584 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: thought it was somewhat. 585 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 4: Amusing in honor of the Cringey tour of the Federal 586 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 4: Reserve construction project by Trump and Jerome Powell yesterday from 587 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 4: the Great Oscar Wild. When I was young, I thought 588 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 4: that money was the most important thing in life. Now 589 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 4: that I am old, I know that it is. He 590 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 4: got thrown in jail for being gay. 591 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 2: You know, oh boy, that really doesn't apply to this quote. 592 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 2: But non' no, it doesn't. I like this one from 593 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 2: Robert frost is. 594 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 4: Judy and I are having a very frustrating time coming 595 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,719 Speaker 4: to grips with certain realities of modern banking. 596 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 2: I won't bore you with the details right now. 597 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: But the Great Robert Frost at a bank is a 598 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: place where they lend you in an umbrella in fair 599 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain. 600 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 2: Old Bob Frost he good to twist a phrase? Was he? Mailbag? 601 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: But I've got promises to keep, says Robert Frosty doing mailbag, Yes, 602 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: drops note mail bag at Armstrong e Giddy dot com. 603 00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 2: The Fabulous JT in Livermore. 604 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: It says it's your next Nobel Prize worthy idea we 605 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: during our four of the show or something that I 606 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,719 Speaker 1: can't remember lateish in the show yesterday, I came up 607 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: with an idea that we both agreed was one of 608 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: the better that's ever reared its head on the Armstrong 609 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: and Getty Show. 610 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 2: And I instantly forgot about it until I came across this, 611 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 2: this email. It is the is the world nuts curve? 612 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: It needs to be a precursor considered before you look 613 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: at any other pole results. What were we talking about? 614 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: Was it a right track, wrong track? 615 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 2: Or oh it was? 616 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: Oh, it was people's perception of their personal finances right? 617 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: And how the highest number for people perceiving themselves to 618 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: be really in solid position financially peaked two thousand and four, 619 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: right before the crash, and then it hit its low 620 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: at a time when Why did it hit slow? But 621 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: it hit its low at a time when the world 622 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: seemed nuts. 623 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, And though by objective financial measures people are not right, 624 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 4: I get it, because the world is nuts, and they 625 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 4: are insecure in their finances and in various other aspects 626 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 4: of their life because the world is nuts. Yeah, Only 627 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 4: a third of Americans right now consider their personal financial 628 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 4: situation excellent or very good only a third. 629 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: It was almost two thirds in two thousand and four. 630 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: The stock markets hitting records every single day. Inflation is low, 631 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: but the world does seem nuts. 632 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 4: JT writes, if you recall a few years ago, you 633 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 4: came up with another brilliant formulation to describe the unknowable 634 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 4: direction or world was heading towards. No, I'd forgotten about 635 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 4: that completely as well, JT. I felt the formula was 636 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 4: so brilliant and timely that I submitted your theory for 637 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 4: consideration of a Nobel Prize in economics. It was not 638 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 4: only brilliant, but would have been the shortest, most understandable 639 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 4: and approachable economics theory. 640 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 2: Ever to win the coveted Nobel. 641 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 4: Unfortunately, the Nobel committee slighted you that year, and he 642 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 4: has a link to who actually won the prize for economics. 643 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 2: I would have been funny to win and then have 644 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 2: to be reminded what it was. Yeah. 645 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: Anyway, he writes, to refreshed listeners' memories, the brilliant and 646 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: timely formula was unprecedented times unprecedented equals unprecedented. 647 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 4: That is so clearly true and underappreciated and closely tied 648 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:33,399 Speaker 4: to the nuts curve. Anyway, mayor nuts remain uncurved. Let's 649 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 4: see garrick in. Davis writes, I never thought I'd hate 650 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 4: someone more than Gavin Newsom, but now I hate Jack 651 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 4: that much. 652 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 2: Wow, I'll forgive him.

I'll get over it because, unlike Jack is 665 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 4: heard in his Hulk Hogan obituary, I'm an adult and 666 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 4: know when to speak ill of the dead, especially if 667 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,800 Speaker 4: I know dick about that person. 668 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 2: Anyway, I do know the d word about Hulk Holgan. 669 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: But I would not have thought that making fun of 670 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: Hulk Hogan would bring so much aid upon me. Okay, 671 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: you learn and. 672 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 4: Then then may be my favorite.
