18
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: up with figuring out a number that would allow you

19
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: to figure out the area of a circle.

20
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: Brilliant.

21
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: The guy who came up with it had to think,

22
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: let me check that one more time. It's just too

23
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: good to be true. Yeah, and it's named after the

24
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:38,119

Speaker 1: we're all on board here, Yes, sorry, I should have

28
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: explained ry clever easier, Thank you, Michael Easier in print.

29
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: The fact that it's called pie and it helps you

30
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: determine the area determine the area of a circle. It's

31
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: just it's it's serendipity, it's it's it's God's harmony.

32
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: It's it's something, you know.

33
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: I was just thinking as I took my first sip

34
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: of coffee the day and it hit me like it

35
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it hit me like not all the way there,

36
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: but like a percentage of your baby being born, having sex,

37
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: being on vacation, I mean, and it made me think

38
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: that this is the only drug I'm addicted to that

39
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: I take at this point in my life, a caffeine

40
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: and you know, it's fairly mild. And we're gonna play

41
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: a clip later of a drug addict on the streets

42
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: of San Francisco and talk a little bit about these

43
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: people and why they can't get their lives together or whatever.

44
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: But a fentanyl is, you know, whatever, it is a

45
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: million times this in terms of you need it so

46
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: bad and when you finally get it.

47
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: It's just, oh, thank god.

48
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: You know, I understand because like this, I am really,

49
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: really a lot happier now than I was five minutes

50
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: ago from this zip of coffee.

51
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I my minor drug addiction. I hear you talking.

52
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just endorphins. So on the other hand, axation.

53
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: If drinking coffee was going to absolutely ruin my life,

54
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: kill me, ruin my life, ruin other people's lives, I'd.

55
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: Work pretty hard to quit it.

56
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure you have to, or society will take care

57
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: of your every need.

58
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: No, wait a minute, that's all. We were a little

59
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 2: off here. Exactly. You have to quit.

60
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: You better quit, or we'll provide you housing and food

61
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: for the rest of your life, but make.

62
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 2: It as easy as possible not to quit.

63
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: So there, Well, they'll give you all the perfermalion you

64
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: need to take the drugs, so you don't have to

65
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: find it on your own, but we allow you to

66
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: be completely lawless. But we might even provide the drugs

67
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: and look the other way when you stealed by other

68
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: stuff you want, but really thinking you need to quit.

69
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: That's not an exaggeration either. That that little fanciful comedy

70
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: skit you just heard is not even an exaggeration.

71
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: It's the reality in some places. Yes, yeah it is.

72
00:03:54,240 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: That was serious political commentary masquerating as a clever little comedy,

73
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: an impromptu comedy skit. That reminds me at some point. Well,

74
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: I'll give the example.

75
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: First.

76
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: There's a piece that appears in cal Matters. It's actually

77
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: a letter to the editor from a so called queer

78
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: parent in Sacramento, California, the capital of the great state

79
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: of cal Unicornia. And this person, I don't have the

80
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: verbage in front of me, says essentially the Gavin Newsom saying, yeah,

81
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: it's unfair to have what he would call trans women,

82
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: trans girls dudes in girls sports. You know, when he

83
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: was talking to Charlie Kirk the other day on that podcast,

84
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: and this person reacted saying that this was a travesty.

85
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: He has abandoned the lgbt Q. I a barbecue over

86
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: the power of three community, and it's akin to I

87
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: can't remember genocide or wiping them off the map or

88
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: killing them with his own hands. And at some point

89
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: don't we have to look at a disconnect from reality

90
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: that profound as a mental illness.

91
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: I mean, if you think you.

92
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: Guys saying yeah, it's probably not fair, is all of

93
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: those things. And again I'll get the specific verbage because

94
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: it's so over the top, it's cuckoo nuts. But that's

95
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: a person who is unwell in their brain. And were

96
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: you relating that to the attitude towards drug addiction or

97
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: we well, yeah, I'm sorry, Yeah, yeah, I guess I

98
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: assumed it was self evident. But you're right, it's not

99
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: failure to recognize the plainly obvious dynamics of what's happening

100
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: with drug addicts at this point. It's maybe not quite

101
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: as cuckoo nuts, but it's I don't understand if you're

102
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: at all familiar with any of the verbiage of addiction,

103
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: including being an enabler and the rest of it, and

104
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: tough love and all of it. How is how do

105
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: we as a society, and at enormous expense, ignore all

106
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: of that accumulated now just seems crazy?

107
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we'll probably talk about that more later.

108
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: We're going to play some clips of a one guy

109
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: interviewed on the street ventonl addic because.

110
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: He had one bill too many in housing.

111
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: He did talk about because rent is too high and

112
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: he had Yeah, well he became a ventyl addic on

113
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: the street. Yeah, that's hilarious that that's even a thing.

114
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: We should start the show officially. Am I crazed being

115
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: the first person even bringing this up. But just the

116
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: government shutdown is not going to happen now, not that

117
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: I care. I don't care. Shut it down, don't shut

118
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: it down, whatever, shutdown for two ours, whatever, that makes

119
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: no difference to me. I'll never remember it after it happens.

120
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: They'll figure it out tomorrow morning. But it's most likely

121
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: not going to happen now, I guess. I guesses.

122
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: Whatever. That's enough of that. I'm still making preparations just

123
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: in case.

124
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,080

Speaker 4: Mat Mark, the federal government has set to shut down

Speaker 4: it's now PEPSI presents the Gulf of America.

140
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: That's good.

141
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: I just saw a headline. So today is Friday during Lent.

142
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to eat meat on Friday as a Catholics,

143
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: particularly during Lent. But alligator meat is okay to eat,

144
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: does count, does not count as meat. A ruling has

145
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: come in from somebody. So if you're planning on, oh.

146
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: Thanks signed alligators. When I was a kid, I don't know.

147
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: They probably don't do this anymore.

148
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, even at our public school,

149
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: they always had fish sandwiches on Friday to accommodate the

150
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: people that didn't eat meat on Fridays. Yeah, yeah, which

151
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,119
Speaker 1: I didn't mind. I like a nice cod Sando didn't

152
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: matter to me. They're probably gonna have a fish sandwich

153
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: one of the days. The fact that he put it

154
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: on Friday.

155
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: Whatever. Does McDonald's even still have the fleo fish?

156
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:24,600

00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:58,760

250
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,200

254

255
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 5: It's the lead story with Katie Green Katie, Hey, you guys,

256
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 5: let's start with ABC. Schumer announces he'll vote to keep

257
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 5: the government open, likely avoiding a shutdown.

258
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 2: And I guess some Democrats.

259
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm gonna call my children and tell them the

260
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: national nightmares over. Yeah, you all enjoy gathering around the

261
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,160

00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,160

00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,119
Speaker 2: We watched that happen yesterday. It was all so performative.

265
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 2: They sang and danced and had snacks and then lined

266
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: up to be arrested by the police who were like

267
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: barely paying attention. Also, it was all just a dance.

268
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: You gotta send an eight foot barren with a big club,

269
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: and clearly that place out the old way.

270
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: This is why tower.

271
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: And if they're just arrested and not arrested and charged,

272
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: who cares. That's nothing, It's performative.

273
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: As you said from the.

274
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,840

Speaker 5: pro Palestinian protests.

276
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: So it looks like the Trump crowd pulled back four

277
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars of federal funding to Columbia because you're

278
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: outside of our rules. And then Columbia expelled a whole

279
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: bunch of those students, had closed down stuff, finding various people,

280
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: all kinds of the things that a lot of us

281
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: wanted to happen, and now they're going to get their

Speaker 1: four hundred million backs.

283
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:57,960

285
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,280

286
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: long fight, as I've said many times, but yeah, this

287
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: is absolutely progress.

288

Speaker 2: and Tiger Woods are a couple and have been for

314
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: quite a while. Which one's Vanessa. I don't know, I

315
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: don't know. I'm one of the hot ones. Yeah yeah.

316
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 5: And finally the Babylon b NBA to allow Lebron James

317
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 5: to play in Giant hamster Ball so other players can't

318
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 5: touch him.

319
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: That sounds about that. Oh wow, Yeah, I swear.

320
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: The Trump family raises hot little girls like piglets.

321
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: They have big.

322
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: Barns full of them, and they bring them upright and

323
00:16:58,480 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: turn them loose on the world. First of all, if

324
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: you only procreate with supermodels, that helps the genetics. And

325
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: then secondly, if you're not quite perfect, you start getting

326
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: operations even in your teams to fixity flaws.

327
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: So that's the way that works.

328
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: We got a whole bunch of stuff on the way,

329
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: including that fake Tesla ad which is pretty funny. Armstrong

330
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: and Getty.

331
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 9: Going on now with the White House Tesla Auto Mall.

332
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 9: It's the biggest sale of the year.

333
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 2: Very safe, it's very strong, heavy, it's all steel. Staler's.

334
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, come on down to Pennsylvania Avenue just off Route

335
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 9: twenty nine to get our best deal ever on a

336
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 9: brand new Tesla.

337
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 7: I want to make a good deal here if they

338
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 7: have one, which is.

339
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 2: Thirty five thousand dollars, which is pretty low.

340
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 9: Get a model one with a different panel, and everything's computer.

341
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 9: This is a different panel to Everything's computer. So don't

342
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 9: waste your time going to those other Tesla dealerships with

343
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 9: riots and flaming cyber trucks. You gotta come down to

344
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 9: white House Tesla Auto Mall.

345
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:56,959
Speaker 2: I love Tesler.

346
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 9: You gotta come down to white House Tesla Auto Mall.

347
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 2: Everything's computer. That is funny.

348
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: I was on a Tesla Reddit thread last night doing

349
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: research on something, and the number of people that have

350
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: to throw in a caveat apology for I bought my

351
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: Tesla before and knew who Elon was, but I was

352
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: wondering if you could you know that sort of thing

353
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: have to throw in a little disclaimer because they're so ashamed. Yeah,

354
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: I don't care what tribe you're in. I'm just asking

355
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: about how to get more trouble out of the stereo,

356
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: you know exactly.

357
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 2: It's so tiresome. Ah. Speaking of business, I am struggling.

358
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: To find someone of heft in the business community or

359
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: an analyst who says, hey, this tariff thing, it's gonna

360
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: work out great. Everybody's gonna really appreciate it. I'm not

361
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: saying there's nobody, but I'm struggling to find that. Well,

362
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: we got word jd Vance, He of the articulate tongue,

363
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,959
Speaker 1: has more or less explained from strategy, and we are

364
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: going to play that for you in a moment or two.

365
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: But first let's start with Jackie Heunrick in forty Michael.

366
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: I didn't say we're not concerned. I'm not concerned about

367
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 2: a little bit of volatility.

368
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: Over three weeks, another day of market turbulence.

369
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 10: Investors unnerved as twenty five percent tariffs and foreign aluminum.

370
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: And steel went into effect, prompting protest from the European Union.

371
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: We call them the US to immediately revoke.

372
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 10: The terraces and retaliation, the EU imposing its own charges

373
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 10: on American imports, including bourbon.

374
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: Here's Senator and noted lawn debris scatterers, Rand Paul in

375
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: forty one.

376
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 7: The tariff wars are a big mistake and not good

377
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 7: for my state. From bourbon distillers to car manufacturers, to

378
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 7: the maker's of fences, to the builders of homes, to

379
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 7: our farmers, Nobody in Kentucky's coming up to me and say,

380
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 7: please put tariffs on things.

381
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: Horse meat, exporters in Kentucky. I'm assuming, right, But so

382
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: you've got it. As always with any issue, it's tough

383
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: to find a a fair broker on their thoughts because

384
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: politicians have to show they're reacting to people's immediate needs.

385
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 1: Wall Street or the stock market reacts to business's quarterly needs.

386
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: And Trump's play is very long term, like decades. Maybe,

387
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: so that's the way it needs to be discussed, but

388
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: it's hard to find anybody wants to discuss it that way, right,

389
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: And it's difficult to find a political analyst. And I'm

390
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: one hundred percent open to this notion because I love

391
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: the idea of thinking beyond the next election, actually planning

392
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: for the future in a way that benefits America. But

393
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: I can't find many, if any political analysts who say

394
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: yes in spite of Trump's extremely short runway because it'll

395
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: be out office in you know, three and a half

396
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: years roughly. A super long term play will work for

397
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: these reasons, because the problem is, as much as I

398
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: might want them to work, it won't bear enough fruit

399
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: to gain public support in the time he has, or

400
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: perhaps even the time he and his successor have. But again,

401
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: I've got a completely open mind about this stuff. I'm

402
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: just I'm not I'm not finding that answer. Well, and

403
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: help if the Trump White House stopped saying things that

404
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: are completely ridiculous, like we're going to pay off the

405
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: deficit with this or things.

406
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: Like that that laughable.

407
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Well, and then there's the circul circular logic

408
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: of well, you've pointed out the fentanyl thing is just

409
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: a pretext. This really doesn't have anything to do with

410
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: punishing people for fentanyl. It's country specifically. It's just about

411
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: restructuring trade. One more forty four. This is Vickynwinn on NBC.

412
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 10: Between new steel and aluminum tariffs and twenty five percent

413
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 10: tariffs on auto imports from Mexico and Canada set to

414
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 10: start in April. One estimate says car prices could soon

415
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 10: increase by as much as twelve thousand dollars.

416
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: WHOA, that's a good example of how the media operates.

417
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 2: One estimate, right.

418
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: I estimate it'll pick them up by fourteen thousand dollars.

419
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: Really quote me now, right, So they're going for the

420
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: most exciting number they can. It's like weather forecasts. They

421
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,719
Speaker 1: never underestimate how bad storms are going to be. But

422
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: there's a damn good chances you've been saying now for

423
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks that these new prices set in

424
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: and everybody's like, holy crap.

425
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well absolutely gone here.

426
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,719
Speaker 1: Well and particularly if the trade war endoors for more

427
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: than a couple of weeks, right, Yeah, exporters and manufacturers.

428
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 2: Are going to get murdered in the short term.

429
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: But again Trump's saying long term, and I'm not pooh

430
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: poohing the idea of a horizon price of car car

431
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: prices because aluminum steel are incredibly important to manufacturing cars,

432
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: and we get most of it from or a lot

433
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: of it from over six cars there could wow wow,

434
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: bring back it's the woodie surf in USA. Man, good

435
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: times anyway. Ah, but it will have an effect, no doubt.

436
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: So setting the scene by describing all of the angst

437
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: here he is the eloquent, the educated, the articulate JD.

438
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 2: Vans.

439
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 8: First of all, I think the President's been very clear

440
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 8: he wants to impose tariffs on foreign importers because he

441
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 8: wants to bring investment and jobs back to the United

442
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 8: States of America. So what I'd say to those business

443
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 8: leaders is, I think the President has actually been quite

444
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 8: clear about what he wants to accomplish. Build more in

445
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 8: the United States of America, invest more in the United

446
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 8: States of America, raised wages for workers in the United

447
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 8: States of America, and you don't have to pay these

448
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 8: tariffs at all. There is, as the President has said,

449
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 8: a recognition that we have to accept, which is that, Look,

450
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 8: Joe Biden left this economy in a disaster. He ran

451
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 8: the highest peacetime deficits we've ever had in this country.

452
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 8: He left us with a significant debt crisis. And the

453
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 8: President has come in and said, look, we have to

454
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 8: accomplish a lot of things simultaneously. We have to bring

455
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 8: down inflation, which I think we're making some good progress on.

456
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 8: We have to actually ensure critical government services like social

457
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 8: Security and the military function for the American people. And

458
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 8: we also have to force businesses to invest more, not overseas,

459
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 8: not in Chinese workers, but in American workers.

460
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 1: So Mark Alpern wrote in his newsletter today that was

461
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: one of Vance's best moments as a vice president so far.

462
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: Trying to explain the tariffs to Maga, Wall Street and

463
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: the suburbs. He doesn't, you know, maybe politically you just

464
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: can't get into the long term pain.

465
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 2: It would take yeah, to accomplish this. Yeah, he threw in.

466
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: You know, we're doing a good job battling inflation. There

467
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: is nobody, but nobody who doesn't say, even if this

468
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: is a good idea and it works, it will drive

469
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: up prices significantly for a very long time.

470
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 2: Wow. You know, the.

471
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: The persuadables, as they call him, the chunk of the country.

472
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: However big it is that kind of goes by gas

473
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 1: prices and grocery prices and that sort of stuff, and

474
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: that's how they vote. They don't have any other ideology. Man,

475
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: they could turn fast. Yeah, yeah, and again. As a

476
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: guy with an open mind on this stuff, and I

477
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: understand how globalization has failed American workers, and you've gotten

478
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: us intertwined with the evil Chinese in a way that

479
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: is completely unhealthy. So I would like this stuff to

480
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: work in a good way. But there's just no arguing

481
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: with the idea that globalization as we knew it for

482
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: the last fifty years has brought us cheap goods, and

483
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: uncoupling from that, even in a smart way, even partially,

484
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: will raise the price of goods. It will make life

485
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: more expensive, It will raise inflation, it will cause some

486
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: pain in the pocket book, and I just wonder. I

487
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: wonder a if it'll work at all, and b if

488
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: the American people will put up with the it's like

489
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: a version of an austerity plane that's necessary to get

490
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: it up and going.

491
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 2: I just don't know.

492
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: And this is more this is still somewhat theoretical as

493
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: opposed to like I was listening to a podcast yesterday,

494
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,719
Speaker 1: were talking about Reagan gave a big speech in the

495
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: early eighties when he came in and they just jacked

496
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: up interest rates like crazy because inflation was so high.

497
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: And he gave a speech about how this is the

498
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: way to kill off inflation. It's going to be brutal

499
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: for a while, you know, hang with it and it'll

500
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: bring down inflation. And his approval rating went way down

501
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: there in his first term, but it worked. It killed

502
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 1: off inflation, and then the economy roared, and you know,

503
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: he won forty nine states a couple of years later.

504
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: But killing off inflation you can do pretty fast raising

505
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: interest rates the way they did restructuring the global economy

506
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: versus China, Can you do it at all?

507
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 2: And how long would it take? Is it well?

508
00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: And versus Canada and Mexico and France and England. I mean,

509
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: it's not all the evildoers. It's a lot of our

510
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: best buddies. And yeah, I just And if it's the

511
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: idea is moving toward reciprocal tariffs or no tariffs, which

512
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: is sometimes the reasoning the White House gives, then we'd

513
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: be negotiating that as opposed to just putting huge tariffs

514
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: on and explaining how that's going to balance the budget

515
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: and bring manufacturing back. Which of those goals is it?

516
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: Because those are two very different goals. I need to

517
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: talk to my dad about this. He follows economics a

518
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: lot more than I do. Dad, I'm gonna call you

519
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: today and talk to you about tariffs, so be prepared.

520
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: That'll be you know, and the grandkids TIFFs are mostly tariffs.

521
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 6: Just you know.

522
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out, are are there magas in

523
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: the stock market who are willing to feel like, yeah,

524
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: this is a good long term play. I don't know

525
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: if you make long term plays when you're eighty seven, Dad,

526
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: but are there people out there, you know that are

527
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: super maga that uh.

528
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: Think I'm in? I'm in.

529
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: I understand the long term restructuring of the world economy.

530
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: It's going to take a while, right right, right? Uh,

531
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,719
Speaker 1: you know it, man, I don't because I don't want

532
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: to be knee jerk negative for a number of reasons here,

533
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: because I like the idea of on shoring a lot

534
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: of critical industries, and we need to recognize the restructuring

535
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: of the world, because it's just happening, whether you like,

536
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: whether you recognize.

537
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 2: It or not. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

538
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: The concern I have, which I have not fully articulated

539
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: until this moment, is that we will go through a

540
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: process of enduring the short term pain disruption and and

541
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: you know however bad that pain is, and then abandon

542
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: the plan and not get the long term benefit from it. Right,

543
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: undergo the painful procedure and die anyway, right, I'm trying

544
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: to think of some examples. Doesn't really need one, because

545
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: that that spells out pretty good. Because there's lots of

546
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: things you do in life, like you you know, yeah,

547
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: you take maybe you're taking ozimpic and trying to lose

548
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: weight or something like that. But if you don't, you know,

549
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: follow through on various things, it doesn't make any difference.

550
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: Thinking about people who take legal or illegal ways to

551
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: like grow muscle, but don't work out. So they take

552
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: this stuff, but they don't actually work out, and so

553
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: you get all the way downside with this shrunken testicles.

554
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you get all the downside with none of the upside.

555
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. It's gonna be fun to watch. And no, no,

556
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be fun to watch. You gonna be

557
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: miserb No, on a strictly academic level. Yes, uh, if

558
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: you're like crazy independently wealthy, yeah, it'll be interesting. Well

559
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: for the rest of us, well, imagine the way the

560
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: media is going to handle it. If cars go up

561
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: six thousand dollars a car on average or more, imagine

562
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: the way the media is gonna hammer that well. Yeah,

563
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: and that's why I'm so painstakingly trying to sound neutral

564
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: on this, and I am neutral on this, is because

565
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: they will stoke up fear they're already doing it as

566
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: fast and as hot as they can downplay any benefits completely,

567
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: they'll be completely dishonest.

568
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 2: At every moment. March madness is in full sway.

569
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: Brackets get to set up on Sunday just to came

570
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: across some information about legal gambling all across the country,

571
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: which is a fairly new thing in the gazillions of

572
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: dollars we all spend on it, and what all that means.

573
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll talk about that a little bit later as

574
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: you head into March Madness weekend.

575
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: We've got mail bag on the way. Stay here. So

576
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 2: it's Friday.

577
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: I drove to work on Friday, like I always do

578
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: on Friday's jam and music instead of listening news. I

579
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: had Tom Petty blaston and was really enjoying myself everything

580
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: like that. So it's surprising to me that I'm saying this,

581
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: but I just read an article in the Wall Street

582
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,959
Speaker 1: Journal about a department in the US government that is

583
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: probably one you don't know anything about and I don't

584
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: know anything about, and it's probably what has made you

585
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: miserable more than practically anything else in your life. And

586
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: the Trump the crowd is trying to reform. And it's

587
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: really interesting. We all, I mean, even those of us

588
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: who pay close attention, understand so little about what is

589
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: going on in our contrillion dollar government. I would agree.

590
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: I've got another example of that we can squeeze in

591
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: Next Hour. I hope you can get next Hour if

592
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,560

634
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,000

639
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: you Tim. A note from Zach here, Valerian sucks. We've

640
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: been talking about Valerian root this week. Two of the

641
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: greatest nights of sleep I've ever had. But then it's

642
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: like being drugged all day long. Katie almost died her

643
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: heart racing. We don't know if it's the Valarian root,

644
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: but we suspected. Yeah, let's see, he writes, and apologies

645
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: for the mild obscenities here. It gives you weird ass

646
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: dreams and can be liver toxic, and additionally all the

647
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: weird side effects like giving Katie's heart a panic attack.

648
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 2: My recommenation works pretty well for me. Is a terrible sleeper?

649
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: Is magnesium, glysonate, kast and nine and melatonin. You can

650
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: find supplements that have all of them. Apparently I took

651
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: magniqium last time. But the melatonin I worry because then

652
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: then does your brain stop producing the amount of melatone

653
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: and he used to, and you end up always having

654
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 1: to take melatonin.

655
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 2: That's what I'm concerned about. I do not know.

656
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: Let's see, do we have time for this? Oh, Okay,

657
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: Greg writes, guys about the guy who was shot by

658
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: his dog. Can't believe you haven't figured out the real story.

659
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: The girl in his bed shot him. Then they blamed

660
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: it on the dog, like people do after passing gas.

661
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 2: So why would he go along with that story?

662
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: Well, obviously because he is a guy, and I can't

663
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: read that because you know it's the girl in his bed.

664
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,959
Speaker 1: He wants her to come back, even though she shot

665
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: him in the leg.

666
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:52,919
Speaker 6: Yeah.

667
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: Well, I kind of suspected that that there's something along

668
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: those lines at the beginning, and they they had to

669
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: avoid some sort of federal gun charges. Blame it on

670
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: the dog. Yeah, then two great emails we don't have

671
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: time for. Have to squeeze them in next hour. I

672
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: lost my head, You lost your head, we'd been drinking.

673
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 2: You shot me.

674
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: Let's blame it on the dog, right exactly. Hey you're hot,

675
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm kinda hot. Let's let's see if we can patch

676
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: this thing up, or at least someone willing to have

677
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: sex with meh. If you miss a segment of the podcast,
