13
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: kind my kids are kind of in that age.

14
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: Joined My oldest son is in the where you like

15
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 3: seriously have to start thinking about what you might want

16
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 3: to do with your life. But my younger son is

17
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: at the kind of more fanciful age of what do

18
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: you want to be when you grow up? And so

19
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: we have these conversations on a regular basis. You know,

20
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: like when you're a really little kid, you want to

21
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: be a I don't know, astronaut or a cowboy. Rearranging

22
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: cattle is honorable work. It is cowboy I actually ended

23
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: up working in a place where I could have been

24
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: become a cowboy. That's what I wanted to do.

25
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 5: Are a cowboy, you wear boots on the beach.

26
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: That was the actual job was. I was working at

27
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 3: the feed lot. And at some point you take the

28
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: do you want to do go the feed truck driver

29
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: route or do you want to go the cowboy route?

30
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 3: And I went the feed truck driver route because I

31
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 3: wasn't planning on be a cowboys more like a life profession.

32
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 3: That's not something you just do for a year. That's

33
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: like you're it's going to be your life. But uh,

34
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 3: I was going to ask everybody before I give. One

35
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: of my youngest son's current plan is which is kind

36
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: of funny for you, what he wants to do is life.

37
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 3: What did you want to be when you grew up, Katie?

38
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 5: I wanted to be a marine biologist.

39
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 3: That's a good one because you saw Seinfeld and that's

40
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 3: what George Costanza said. He exactly, I've always wanted to

41
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: pretend to be a marine biologist.

42
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 4: I think both of my daughters may have had a

43
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 4: time where they wanted to do that. You see dolphins

44
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 4: and sea turtles and all sorts of endearing creatures, and

45
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 4: you hear the risk you wanted to do.

46
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fine profession, And what at what point did

47
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 3: you decide you didn't want to be that or maybe

48
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: you don't even remember, because like some of my stuff,

49
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: I don't remember ever making a decision, or it's not

50
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: like I looked into it now. It looks to me like,

51
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 3: according to the actuary tables, that people died at a

52
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 3: young age in this profession. And he only make this

53
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 3: much money, So perhaps I'll turn my gaze towards something else.

54
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: That's not the way it usually works.

55
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 6: But yeah, that's not how it happened. I went from

56
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 6: marine biologists to archaeologist, and then another good one ended

57
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 6: up in radio.

58
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: Ended up in radio. I don't know if that.

59
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 6: No, that's because what I ended up actually wanting to do.

60
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, wanting to do that. At what point? At

61
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: what point in your life did you decide you wanted

62
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 3: to be on the radio.

63
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 5: Around the time that I was a teenager? So thirteen?

64
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: Oksh yeah? Interesting?

65
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 6: Oh, in love of the Morning show, was listening to

66
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 6: Rush with my dad all the time. Found out dad

67
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 6: did some radio, and here we are.

68
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: It's awesome, cool, Michael.

69
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 7: I also wanted to be in radio as a little kid,

70
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 7: believe or not. But I like the technical stuff. I

71
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 7: used to take tinker toys and build tall towers all

72
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 7: the way to the ceiling of the house.

73
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's interesting. We've worked with you for twenty five

74
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 3: years and I didn't know that.

75
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was a little kid, but I would play.

76
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 7: I remember i'd have a little record player of official

77
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 7: price record player and now pretend I was a DJ,

78
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 7: but I always Yeah, I ended up wanting to play

79
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 7: with you know, buttons and things like that.

80
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 3: So that's kind of what I'm doing now. Yeah.

81
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 4: Cool.

82
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, with great skill and a plumb Joe Getty.

83
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 4: Fairly standard American Midwestern boy, a cycle of paleontologist, hockey player,

84
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 4: baseball player, professional musician, lawyer.

85
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: Than this dead end job. Do you you know there

86
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: was definitely a progression. Do you remember why you changed

87
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: your mind on various stuff? Because I don't.

88
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 4: I think running up against reality honestly realizing I'm not

89
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 4: really good enough for that and I have other interests.

90
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: Now, I think it was as simple as that. Yeah,

91
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 3: I mean, if I go way back to the beginning,

92
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: I think it was cowboy. Now. For a very long time,

93
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 3: I wanted to be a carpenter and I really liked

94
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: working with building stuff and all that sort of things.

95
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: Still do, but like, I don't remember it any at

96
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 3: any point deciding, I don't know, I probably hit my

97
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: thumb a lot, so maybe i'll I mean, I just,

98
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 3: you know, just stopped being my interest for whatever reason. Yeah,

99
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 3: I think that's it. You just develop other interests, get

100
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 3: passion for something else. I was hardcore. I was going

101
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 3: to join the Marines for most of high school. I mean,

102
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 3: this wasn't even when I was a little kid. I

103
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: mean that was just absolutely my plan. Why change that,

104
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, huh, I honestly don't know. It has

105
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 3: something to do with hearing about a radio program. I

106
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: think I was I was in I never did any

107
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 3: sort of like drama musical stuff until my senior year

108
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: of high school, and I did that and I got

109
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: kind of sucked into that world of performing entertaining the

110
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: adulation that comes with it. And then I heard about

111
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 3: a radio program at a nearby community college where practically

112
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: everybody who went there found a full time job in radio.

113
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: At least that was the stat at the time. Which

114
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: is amazing now. It was true then but impossible now.

115
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 3: There's not three full time radio jobs available in the country.

116
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 3: But I just thought, oh, that'd be awesome. I always

117
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: had listened to radio, always liked the idea of being

118
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 3: on the radio, and then I was full speed on

119
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 3: that after that. But I don't remember why I changed

120
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 3: my mind like that. You would think you'd remember that,

121
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 3: but I don't.

122
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 4: The Marines thing, yes, unless it's you know, as I said,

123
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 4: you just develop other passions and you kind of get

124
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 4: led away.

125
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: And I've sometimes wondered what my life would have been

126
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: like if I had gone that direction. I kind of

127
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 3: wish I would have, just for the challenge of it

128
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 3: and everything that comes with it. But I'm really happy

129
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 3: with the way things turned out in my career this way,

130
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 3: so I wouldn't want to mess with it too much.

131
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 3: But yeah, sometime, when Elon gets the right rocket, I

132
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 3: will travel to the parallel universe where I joined the

133
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 3: Marine Corps, see where I ended up. Here's my son's

134
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: current plan. He wants to double up on his school work. Currently,

135
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: he does a combination of homeschool and independent study. He's

136
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 3: not in a traditional school setting. He is he wants

137
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 3: to double up on his school work. He wants to

138
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 3: pass the GED at sixteen so he'll have his high

139
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 3: school education. Then he wants to spend two years getting jacked.

140
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 3: And wow, there was a twist there. Did not see

141
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 3: that coming?

142
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 5: Did not That was not on my Bengo card.

143
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, me, neither. It made me laugh out loud, just

144
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 3: like this yesterday when he told me this is my plan.

145
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 3: Now I'm gonna double up my studying so i can

146
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 3: get my GED at sixteen. Then I'm gonna spend two

147
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 3: years getting jacked.

148
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, So now he's educated in Swollen and

149
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 4: then what next?

150
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: And then he's going to join the mill because he

151
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 3: wants to do like my brother Jeff, who was career military,

152
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 3: because he's seen somebody do the other end of it.

153
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 3: He also it's just an odd he's a different sort

154
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 3: of human being in it. He seems to understand like

155
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 3: time horizons as a kid, the way that you only

156
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 3: usually do as an adult. But to him, twenty years

157
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: in the military where you get you know, the all

158
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: the benefits that come with him. He thinks I'd only

159
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: be thirty eight, so it's just see, I'd have all

160
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: these other opportunities to do this, and that it's like,

161
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 3: that's not usually the way you think when you're young. Now,

162
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 3: you know, being thirty eight seems like you might as

163
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 3: well be dead, So there's no way I'm going to

164
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: commit to do it.

165
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 4: But that's the way he looks at that. That is

166
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 4: utterly unique. I now continually reminded my kids of that reality,

167
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 4: because it does not seem that way when you're young.

168
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 4: I remember being practiced, not panic stricken, but extremely concerned

169
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 4: at age twenty two and a half that I wasn't

170
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 4: completely certain what I wanted to do, right right, go

171
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 4: off and do something for five years. Then you'll be

172
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 4: twenty seven and a half. Oh, you know, from this perspective,

173
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 4: it's crazy. But man, that is that is so nuts.

174
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 4: That he's in a good way that he's got that perspective.

175
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 3: Well, you know, because we all just went through all

176
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: our different iterations of things we want to do. I

177
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 3: don't expect him to stay on this plan, but he's

178
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 3: been with it for quite a while. He's always asking

179
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,599
Speaker 3: my brother about the military. This military then, and it

180
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 3: would it's actually a good plan if you if you

181
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: can handle the idea at a young age of twenty

182
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 3: year commitment or something, and you don't have to commit

183
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: for twenty years at a time. You sign up for

184
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 3: chunks at a time.

185
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 5: But uh, boy, understanding that age is that's amazing.

186
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: Because you're so young when you're thirty eight. Good lord,

187
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.

188
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 5: I just had a conversation with a girl over the weekend.

189
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 6: She lost her job unfortunately on Friday, and she's losing it.

190
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 5: She is twenty six years old.

191
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: Oh boy, She's like, I'm.

192
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 5: Already twenty six.

193
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 6: I went, first of all, shut up about already being

194
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 6: twenty six.

195
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 4: Okay, not for that, Yeah, yeah, Second, you're fine, go

196
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 4: find the twenty three year old who to hear that

197
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 4: the rest of us not so much.

198
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty funny. But I had never heard anybody

199
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 3: who had the plan of taking two years off to

200
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 3: get jacked. Yeah.

201
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 4: So, just as an aside on a semi serious note,

202
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 4: it's one of the reasons I really believe in mentoring

203
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 4: programs and am like crazy super passionate about not papering

204
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 4: over deficiencies in schools in like inner city areas, rough

205
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 4: areas wherever schools are suffering, and then just admitting the

206
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 4: kids anyway because my and Jack knows this story, the

207
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 4: fact that it didn't even occur to me to pursue

208
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 4: a career in radio until I was at a band

209
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 4: rehearsal and one of the guitar players said he was

210
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 4: going to his radio class, and I thought, oh, is

211
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 4: that how you do that? I'd be better than him,

212
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 4: and I enrolled in a radio class. It was as

213
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 4: if I'd spent my entire life wandering around saying, you know,

214
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 4: I'd really like to cure people of disease and by

215
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 4: pharmacology and knives don't bother me. And I understand that

216
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 4: surgery is important, and boy oh boy, I like science

217
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 4: and again healing people.

218
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 3: And it never occurred to me to be a doctor.

219
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 3: I mean, it was that dense that it had never

220
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 3: occurred to me. It just didn't. For some reason, I

221
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: thought they import.

222
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 4: Space aliens to do that, or you're hatched, or I

223
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 4: don't know someone. By God, it never occurred to me. No,

224
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 4: you just make a couple of basic steps and then

225
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 4: you explore it. And the fact that I could have

226
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 4: that that's lack of vision.

227
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: Just because I didn't know what those steps were.

228
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 4: I realized there are lots and lots of kids like

229
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 4: that that are kind of doomed to not pursue their

230
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 4: dreams or even understand what their dreams are because they

231
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 4: haven't seen somebody do it. And so that's what's so

232
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 4: important about mentoring programs. And like the NFL one of

233
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 4: the best Super Bowl ads this is the day after

234
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl, we're taping this.

235
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: One of the best ones was that I am somebody.

236
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 4: Or they go into neighborhoods and they tell kids, Hey,

237
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 4: this is a real possibility people like you do this.

238
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 3: I think those are great. Yeah, that's a weird thing

239
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 3: about the human mind. It's putting limitations on yourself just

240
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 3: for like things you aren't aware of a variety of

241
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 3: area areas, and it's just it's odd. Yeah, I can't

242
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 3: explain it. It's just weird. Little kid walking around in

243
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 3: a lab coat and just fascinated by disease.

244
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 5: I just wish you could do something with that.

245
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess I'll go manage a grocery store. Armstrong,

246
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 3: the armstrong and getty sharp.

247
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 8: British woman, recently said againness world record by finishing an

248
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 8: ice marathon in less than five hours while wearing a

249
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 8: polar bear costume, it beat the previous record of no

250
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 8: one's ever done that.

251
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: Did they get the record? Of course you did. That's funny.

252
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 3: Seth Myers was a big fan of Norm McDonald, and

253
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 3: that is a Norm MacDonald joke right there.

254
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 4: The way that's worded, well, that reminds me. It's one

255
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 4: of my favorite weird experiences. And it's hard to explain

256
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 4: exactly why it was so delightful. But when we were

257
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 4: walking back and forth to the convention hall in Milwaukee

258
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 4: this past summer, and we walked going in opposite directions

259
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 4: on the sidewalk, walked past these climate protesters who were

260
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 4: clearly not pleased to be there and weren't really enthusiastic

261
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 4: about their work. But they were walking around with their

262
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 4: polar bear costume that they were going to don to

263
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 4: make some vague point about climate change. And the guy

264
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 4: walking around with walking by with the big polar bear

265
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 4: head under his arm, looking miserable like anybody going off

266
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 4: to their crop crappy job. Another day, another friggin day,

267
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 4: we're in the polar.

268
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 3: Bear ahead and the heat to make some point about

269
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 3: climate change. I guess.

270
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 4: They all just looks so miserable anyway, A couple of

271
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 4: stories from the world of health. This is interesting and

272
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 4: I've my mom used to talk about this, God Rest

273
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 4: your soul. And I remember in college how like finals week,

274
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 4: everybody would get sick either that week or after it

275
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 4: or whatever.

276
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 3: And what was it? Working too art, staying up too late?

277
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 3: What was it?

278
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 4: Scientists are getting more are getting closer to understanding how

279
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 4: psychological stress hijacks the body's immune defenses. And they're talking

280
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 4: specifically about allergies and skin diseases here, but it applies

281
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 4: to a lot of different things. Psychological stress and pairs

282
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 4: specialized immune cells and called microphages by making them forget

283
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 4: quote unquot how to clean up certain scales cells in

284
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 4: the skin, leading to worse allergy symptoms that can persist

285
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 4: for up to a week after the stressful event. Our

286
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 4: researchers discover the stress hormones again, with the hormones underappreciated

287
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 4: create a kind of cellular memory and immune cells, offering

288
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 4: the first molecular explanation for why stress can worsen allergic

289
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 4: skin conditions like ezema after stress.

290
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 3: So that's interesting. And I remember the same experience too,

291
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: final as week of getting sick. Uh, it's interesting that

292
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 3: a moderate level of stress does this and it breaks

293
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 3: down our immune system and we get sick. But people

294
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: were under tremendous stress, their body goes into some sort

295
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 3: of superman mode. Because I've seen this, I've known people

296
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 3: who have done this scene this before, Like a guy

297
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 3: who was taking care of his wife when she was

298
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 3: like at the end of her life, and he was

299
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 3: taking care of her all the time, and then she

300
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 3: died and he immediately is in the hospital. Was some

301
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 3: sort of liver disease thing that his body had been

302
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 3: completely ignoring the whole time because he was needed. I mean,

303
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 3: he was in a very stressful then. I've I've heard

304
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: of that sort of thing before. So yeah, yeah, really interesting.

305
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 4: Moving along quickly, the ability to detect spoiled food, which

306
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 4: is a particular interest, probably to Katie.

307
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 3: You had no such thing to you get a cold enough,

308
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 3: hot enough, you keep eating it.

309
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 4: Oh boy, Katie got some funky chick can yesterday and

310
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 4: it made her sick. But this electric tongue can taste

311
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 4: spoiled milk.

312
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 3: Humans, Where do I get one of these? I tell

313
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,160

357
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 3: acceptance speeches and everybody just standing ovations all over the place.

358
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,040

364
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 4: Charlie Cook of The National Review recently unleashed a screed

365
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 4: that contained roughly these words. The idea that we should

366
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 4: restructure our constitutional order because George Floyd died is a

367
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 4: is it not a very compelling or argument anyway? But

368
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 4: pop culture is more than willing.

369
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 3: It's there.

370
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,520

Speaker 4: coffin needed another nail.

392
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 3: It's a freaking musical, that's right.

393
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 4: And not only is it a musical, is it a

394
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 4: foreign language film. It was made by French filmmakers in Spanish. Uh,

395
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 4: Mexican audience is one of the reasons poor little confused

396
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 4: fame was the worst thing that could have happened to her.

397
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,800

402
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 4: or didn't, and Mexican audiences were laughing at her Spanish.

403
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 4: And there's some speculation that the crying jag was to

404
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 4: to kind of regain her bona fides as an up

405
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:21,479

Speaker 3: Right, Yes, what sounds exactly like Family Guy when Seth

438

Speaker 3: McFarlane mocked musicals by just basically, you know, talking through

439
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 3: songs about what the what the plot is. I can't

440
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 3: believe that's real.

441
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 4: I know, getting back to the final fatal self declouement

442
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 4: of Hollywood, that song is impossible to parody. You cannot

443
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 4: do an exaggerated version of its, of its ridiculousness and terribleness.

444
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 3: I'm thinking of getting a sex change. Do you know

445
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 3: what that means? Yes, it's getting rid of my vagina

446
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,919

00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 3: Second most nominations of any movie in movie history. Yet

449
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 3: in other words, it's one of the all time great

450
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 3: pieces of cinematic art. It's just a coincidence at this

451
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 3: moment of trans hysteria, this movie has come along, and

452
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 3: that's just unbelievable, you know, Thank God, and this moment

453
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 3: of great sympathy for drug artel bosses as well.

454
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 4: You know. I feel like I went to Hollywood and

455
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 4: said I'd like to I'd like to finally kill your

456
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 4: cultural influence, and Hollywood said, oh, we'll commit suicide.

457
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 3: If I was at a less busy point of my life,

458
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 3: I would go to that movie and sit through the

459
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 3: whole thing, just for just to talk be able to

460
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 3: talk about it on the radio. I will go.

461
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 4: If I can find it playing anywhere. God, but I've

462
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 4: got to go incognito. I don't want to be seen

463
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 4: in it.

464
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 3: So I don't know if you know this aspect of

465
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 3: the whole Oscar thing. I didn't in late in life

466
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 3: when I became aware of how Dog eat Dog vying

467
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 3: for the awards it gets leading up to Oscars. They

468
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 3: all take out ads and then try to knife each

469
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 3: other to try to get the votes of the Academy

470
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 3: and everything like that. So that star who is singing

471
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: the song there, the trans star, the Amelia Perez star

472
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 3: currently campaigning for an Oscar apologized yes after her islamophobic,

473
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 3: anti Asian and anti black former Twitter posts resurfaced. So

474
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 3: somebody dug up some old stuff that they could damage

475
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 3: her with and got it out, and then she had

476
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 3: to apologize yesterday, hoping not to lose the Oh darn it,

477
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 3: now we got a problem. Trent singing about a trans

478
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 3: person but has islamophobic Twitter posts from the past. Oh

479
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 3: how do I vote? As in an enlightened, woke member

480
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 3: of the Academy dammage. He just keeps getting better and better.

481
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 3: That is a delightful development.

482
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 9: We would delight to know about it.

483
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 3: By the way.

484
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 4: Zoe Saldana stars as the girl Boss lawyer standing up

485
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 4: for her transgender cartel crusading feminist transgender boss.

486
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 3: Man, you went too far with your so funny, like

487
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 3: when the hurt Locker came out in the midst of

488
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 3: our wars and our conversations over wars, and it had

489
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,719
Speaker 3: a you know, a fair amount of America causes as

490
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 3: many enemies as as friends. You know, at least it

491
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 3: was subtle enough. It was a good war movie. I mean,

492
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 3: you haven't hit me over the head with it. But

493
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 3: during the trans discussion, that's going on in America right now.

494
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 3: To come out with this is just too much.

495
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 4: I want this pacifics on what the nominated newly minted

496
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 4: quote unquote woman said about these various groups, I.

497
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 3: Don't I don't want my.

498
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 4: I hate when quotes are characterized, because then the characterizer

499
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 4: is in charge of you know what I think about them.

500
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 3: But the fact that the leading light, who is probably

501
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 3: counting on standing ovations at the Oscars as tears streamed

502
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 3: down their face for being so brave having this show

503
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: up yesterday, anah, crap, that's right. I said some bad

504
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 3: things about the Asians. Well, it's it's it's great. The

505
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 3: beast is eating itself. Oh my god.

506
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 4: That's why I'm enjoying it so much. It's it's I

507
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 4: went there to kill it and it's in the midst

508
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 4: of self destruction. Has anybody actually seen this movie? If

509
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 4: you have, and I doubt you have, but if you have,

510
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 4: you can text us at four one, five, two nine

511
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 4: five kftc H.

512
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 3: Is that song nominated for Best It's not it. They

513
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 3: have to have a song nominated for Best Song. There's

514
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 3: no way you get the most OSCAR nominations, second most

515
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 3: ever without Best Song being in there somewhere. I don't know, Katie.

516
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 3: Can you look that up? That'd be great. But that

517
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 3: song is hilarious. I mean I can't even wrap my

518
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 3: head around it. Give us a little more.

519
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 9: Michael mast yes, blessed, yes, bless yes.

520
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: All right.

521
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 4: What I take from that song is that wait minute,

522
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 4: that many surgical interventions are required to make me who

523
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 4: I really am.

524
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 3: That does not make sense. Why did they decide to

525
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 3: go with a cartel leader. I can't imagine. It'sking me

526
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 3: to crawl inside their crazy heads. I don't like it

527
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 3: in here. Were they just trying to bring too many

528
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 3: different things together? It's like the way back. If you

529
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 3: remember the Sopranos, Christopher wanted to be a you know,

530
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 3: a movie maker, and he makes he combine Saw with

531
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 3: the Godfather too. It seems kind of like that you're

532
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 3: combining whatever, a cartel, some sort of immigration thing with

533
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 3: the tram story and put them together. And all right, well, Jack,

534
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 3: The way I interpret it is that a cartel boss

535
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 3: would have to be so brave, so brave, all right.

536
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 4: That's that's two shots to embrace their real transgender self

537
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 4: in spite of the pressures given to a put upon

538
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 4: them by Mexican society and their.

539
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 3: Tough guy image.

540
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 4: But it's important that you go ahead and have fiftyies

541
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 4: if you feel like a girl, yep, standing up to

542
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 4: the macho culture. Amelia Perez looking at rotten tomatoes, you

543
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 4: want to recognize oscar bait. Look at the difference between

544
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 4: the critics poll and the audience polled the tomato meter,

545
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 4: which is critics seventy four percent positive. That's that's pretty good,

546
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 4: the popcorn meter actual movie viewers nineteen percent.

547
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: Wow.

548
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 4: From renegade to auteur, Jacques Audiard comes Amelia Perez and

549
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 4: audisious fever dream that defies genres and expectations. I do

550
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 4: like artsy movies, but through liberating songs and dance in

551
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 4: bold visuals. Liberating wasn't the word that came to mind

552
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 4: when we listened to that last song. This Odyssey follows

553
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 4: the journey of four remarkable women in Mexico, each pursuing

554
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 4: their own happiness. The fearsome cartel leader Amelia, and let's Rita,

555
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 4: an unappreciated lawyer stuck in a dead end job to

556
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 4: help her fake her death so that Amelia can finally

557
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 4: live authentically as.

558
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 3: Her true self. There you go. No, I love art movies.

559
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 3: Last year's winner I saw on one of my favorite

560
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 3: movies ever, The Everything All at On Solid Time whatever.

561
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 3: I mean. You can't get much more ardy than that

562
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 3: movie that is not a mainstream film. You got some

563
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 3: Forst Katie.

564
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, just to let you know if you don't

565
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 6: want to be seen going into her out of the theater.

566
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 5: This gem is on Netflix.

567
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 3: Oh you can watch it at home? Okay? Oh, yes,

568
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 3: that's better. That is good to know. Yeah, I'll be

569
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 3: sure to draw my drapes.

570
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: The Armstrong and Getty show, yeah, or Jack or show

571
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: podcasts and our hot lakes, the Armstrong and Getty Show.

572
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 4: So it was I've waited on more people at this

573
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 4: restaurant that you have in your goddamn life, say the

574
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 4: waiters and waitresses of Washington, d C.

575
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 3: Jack, where you just were.

576
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 4: The Washingtonian, which is read in the self Obsessination's Capital,

577
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 4: has a piece about how DC restaurants have long been

578
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 4: like politically neutral spaces.

579
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 3: Obviously, to cite the cliched example.

580
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 4: You got Reagan coming in, you got tip O'Neil coming in, right,

581
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 4: so you treat everybody with respectfully. But that changed during

582
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 4: the Trump years, restaurant owners became much more politically outspoken.

583
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 4: They were part of the resistance, and Trump officials became

584
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 4: social pariahs when dining out. You remember several incidents involving

585
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 4: Ted Cruz and Sarah Huckabee Sanders who got kicked out

586
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 4: of a restaurant in West Lexington, Virginia. Homeland Secretary Kirsten

587
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 4: Nielsen's dinner at a DC Mexican Mexican restaurant was interrupted

588
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 4: as they yelled shame Steven Miller tossing eighty dollars worth

589
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 4: of takeout sushi after somebody cursed him and flipped him

590
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 4: off at a sushi place, somebody on the staff. But anyway,

591
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 4: in the Washington Washingtonian, anyway, you got all these restaurant

592
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 4: tours and waiters and bartenders saying, we're not going to

593
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 4: be silent, We're not going to be quote unquote civil.

594
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 3: Let's see, here's this guy. What does he do.

595
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 4: He's a DC restaurant. He's a manager at a club,

596
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 4: big club in DC. If you're just going out for

597
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 4: a nice dinner at your anniversary or birthday, and God forbid,

598
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 4: RFK Junior is sitting s to you now, you're going

599
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 4: to be dealing with whatever repercussions happened from that. He's

600
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 4: saying all this restaurants to have is justified cursing these

601
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 4: people out and yelling at him and kicking him out. Well,

602
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 4: we'll see if this actually happens or not.

603
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 3: Like I said, bumping around d C, it was quite

604
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 3: a bit different than the last time I was in

605
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 3: DC when Trump got elected. He was being treated like

606
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 3: a regular president. I mean, the number of Trump shirts,

607
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: hats pins, inauguration forty seventh president stuff that I saw.

608
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 3: There was nothing like that in twenty seventeen when I

609
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 3: was there for the inauguration.

610
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 4: Right.

611
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

612
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 4: In fact, that was my question. I wonder if this

613
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 4: is just big talk by little people, I'd be my guess.

614
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 4: Here's a woman who's a server and manager at a

615
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 4: saloon on Capitol Hill.

616
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 3: Quote.

617
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 4: People were a lot more motivated the first time around

618
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 4: to do these kinds of shows of passion. This time around,

619
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 4: there's kind of a sense of defeat and acceptance. But

620
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 4: I hope that people will still do stand up to

621
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 4: this administration and tell them their thoughts on their misbehavior

622
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 4: as they're trying to get a ham sandwich at lunchtime.

623
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 3: Here's my biggest question about restaurants DC restaurants, because I

624
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 3: had this and I tweeted it out, and it's the

625
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 3: most controversial tweet I've ever put out ever. It got

626
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 3: more responses than anything I've ever tweeted this question. So

627
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 3: I mean it Gordon Ramsay's restaurant, which I wish I'd

628
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 3: spent the time to look into what it costs to

629
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 3: eat there, because it's the most expensive meal I've ever

630
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 3: paid for for me and my two kids. Partially because

631
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 3: there was the we've added to twenty percent already thing

632
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 3: that restaurants are doing sometimes now, and so service charge

633
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 3: is that what they call it? Earth It just said, yeah,

634
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 3: we've added a twenty percent service charge to your bill,

635
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 3: and then it's got the line for the tip, and

636
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 3: I thought, do I tip on top of it or not?

637
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 3: And I tweeted that out. I googled it and tweeted it,

638
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 3: and same result either way. Plenty of people say, absolutely,

639
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 3: that's not the tip. You need to tip on top

640
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 3: of that ere screwing your server or one hundred percent

641
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 3: that's the tip, No way you should give any more money.

642
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 3: I still don't know what the answer is on that.

643
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 3: But obviously, if they add twenty percent, and I didn't

644
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 3: know they were gonna do that, or I wouldn't have gone.

645
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 3: If they add twenty percent and I'm supposed to tip

646
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 3: twenty percent, that's forty percent on top of my meal,

647
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,439
Speaker 3: that's a no go. That's a I think second group

648
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 3: that is the tip, No freaking way I'm eating there.

649
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 3: A whole bunch of people adamantly said no, that goes

650
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 3: to the restaurant, that the server will get nothing, and

651
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 3: you absolutely need to tip on top of that. Maybe

652
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 3: that's true, but I'll never eat at a restaurant that

653
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 3: does that. You can't pay forty percent on top of

654
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 3: your bill. Nobody's doing that. That's ridiculous. It is ridiculous. Well,

655
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 3: I don't know what the correct answer is either or

656
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 3: if it varies from restaurant to restaurant, if you know

657
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 3: text line four one five two nine five k f TC.

658
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 3: But what the hell Armstrong and Getty
