1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe. 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 2: Getty, arm Strong and Getty and now he Armstrong and 4 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:16,959 Speaker 2: Getty Strong and. 5 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: Not live from studio. Seeing we're still not back at work. 6 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 3: You can't make us come back until the year twenty 7 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 3: twenty six. 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: So enjoy the Armstrong and Getty replay. So I love this. 9 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,160 Speaker 4: This is funny. I like words. 10 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: I think that's obvious, but they're fun to play with. 11 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: And I came across this article that's just terrific. The 12 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: guy starts with, go shopping online. Just about everything you 13 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: look at. We'll have a star rating based on you know, 14 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: previous customers, right, any of them phony, which makes shopping 15 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: online a bit difficult. But and he says it's less 16 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: easy to quantify things in such a way in day 17 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: to day life. For instance, if your friend was telling 18 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: you about a product or a restaurant or whatever, where 19 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: would their description fall on the star scale? Blah blah blah. Well, 20 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: he said, you're in the dark no longer. A new 21 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: Yugov study reveals exactly how positively and negatively the population 22 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: perceives various words or descriptions to be. 23 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,919 Speaker 4: They have a few dozen words, then. 24 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: Ask people to score them on a scale from zero 25 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: to ten, with zero being very negative to ten being 26 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: very positive. And as an explanation, I will tell you 27 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: that of the forty words tested. 28 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 4: Abysmal was seen as the most negative. 29 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 3: Okay, So this is like, so you asked me, how 30 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 3: how is that restaurant you went to? And I say great? 31 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 3: They figured out what great means to people. Yes, okay, 32 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 3: right where it fits on the scale. 33 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: So abysmal is seen as the most negative. 34 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 3: Well to you, So when you think of that restaurant 35 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 3: it was abysmal, I wouldn't try it. 36 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like I would. I think, Oh, 37 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: that's just his opinion. Would there be any doubt as 38 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: to what my opinion is using the word abysmal? No, 39 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: slightly less bad comes the closely clustered fighting it out 40 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: for second place. Awful, terrible and very bad. Now on 41 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: the other end of the scale, that's interesting. 42 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 3: So awful, terrible and very bad obviously a fairly negative 43 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 3: review and the. 44 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: Story of but measurably above abysmal. Yeah, abysmal is the 45 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: clear winner, clear winner. I'm trying to imagine that happened 46 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: at a restaurant before I would say that, I mean 47 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: the waiter would have to punch me in the face 48 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: and give me rancid meat, I think as I was 49 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: being attacked by rats. Yes, abysmal was my experience. At 50 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: the other end of the scale, perfect is the most 51 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: positively regarded word, with an average score at nine point 52 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: one six. Only one other word managed to break the 53 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: nine point barrier. Remember we're on a zero to ten scale, 54 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: which was outstanding, just edging out excellent for second place. 55 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 3: Perfect is similar to abysmo. It'd be hard to reach. Also, 56 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 3: they gave me Kobe's steak, didn't charge me, and I 57 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 3: had an orgasm. 58 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: I hope you excused yourself before that last one. Anyway, 59 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: I had one. I've had a couple dining experiences I 60 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: probably have described as perfect or something close to it. 61 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 4: But they also went with an enormous price tag. 62 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: Right, Yes, somebody like your anniversary and not like your 63 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: twenty first, only like your twentieth and twenty fist that 64 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: sort of place you go. Yeah, that is a good 65 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: point too. 66 00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, say that to the kids a lot because I 67 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 3: rarely complain about service, but like sometimes if we're in 68 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 3: a really, really fancy place. I don't expect to sit 69 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 3: around thirsty for very long if I'm gonna drop a 70 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 3: whole bunch of money, you know what I'm saying. And 71 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,119 Speaker 3: uh right, See, you have different standards. I met Denny's. 72 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 3: They don't come back to refilm my water. That's what 73 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 3: I expected. 74 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, So let's I think it would 75 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: be better, more entertaining to go from the best to 76 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: the worst the words as rated by thousands of people. 77 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: All right, we'll start with perfect and ork our way 78 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: down perfect, included, orgasm. As we remember, each one gets 79 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: less and less appealing, perfect, outstanding, excellent, incredible. I would 80 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: have incredible ahead of excellent. But this is a poles 81 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: some of the crowns. Yeah, brilliant, superb. This is getting 82 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: less impressive as we go. I've never used I don't 83 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: think I've ever used the word superb, but oh I 84 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: do it constantly. I'm superb at using the word superb. 85 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: The differences between these various words very very I'd say, 86 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: do you use it seriously or sarcastic? No, I mean, 87 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: like the point total depends on my setting, on the setting. 88 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: He's been good at using super as a sarcastic comment. 89 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: For me, it's always made me laugh. Super oh super, 90 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: but this is super This is SUPERB with the B 91 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: shows sophistication. Anyway, moving along, fantastic, awesome, very good, really good, 92 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: which is not as good as very good, great good. 93 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: Oh that's right. I forgot to tell you. It's it's 94 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: actually bang in the middle is average? I mean that 95 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: is exactly in the middle of these descriptors. 96 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 4: Average. 97 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: Isn't that funny, you know? I mean, of course it is, 98 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: but it's funny that it is. 99 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 3: And I will go to a place if somebody tells 100 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 3: me it's average, if the price is low, probably and 101 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 3: it's convenient to me. 102 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's funny. There's a restaurant Judy and Delaney 103 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: and I went to the other day, and and a 104 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: lot of our friends go to it, and once again 105 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: we're like, it's okay. But the one word people use 106 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: constantly describe it as consistent. 107 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 4: Their food is really consistent. We have a place like 108 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 4: a B minus every time you go. 109 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, we have a place it's like a B minus. 110 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: But it's the charm that. 111 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 4: We go for. It's not like the food. 112 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, anyway, so remember these words are getting less 113 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: impressive great, good, pretty good, above average, decent, quite good, 114 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: somewhat good, fine, satisfactory. 115 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 5: Fine is yeah, okay, all right, fair, not bad, average, 116 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 5: And again that was the average score. 117 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 4: Weird, mediocre, below average. 118 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: We've definitely departed thumbs up folks, we're in thumbs down territory. 119 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: We're in probably not going back territory. Yeah, so all right, 120 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: so average, mediocre, below average, somewhat bad, pretty bad, quite bad, poor, 121 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: and then just bad, unsatisfactory, rubbish. The original version of 122 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: this poll was in Britain, then they did it in America. 123 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: Slight differences but not meaningful enough to mention rubbish. 124 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 4: Really bad, very bad, very bad. 125 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: Is seen as zero point nine percent worse than very bad. 126 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 4: There was really bad. 127 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 3: There was a hair in my soup, there was more 128 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 3: hair in my salad, and then once again hair in 129 00:07:53,880 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 3: my mentree. The experience went from really bad to very bad, terrible, awful, dreadful, appalling, 130 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 3: Can I get a razor to shave some of my food? 131 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: Everything has their in it? 132 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 4: Finally appalling, bismal, abysmal. 133 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: The wors although if somebody told me our experience was appalling, 134 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: I mean even clear enough, that's hilarious. 135 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 4: Who decided to rank these words? 136 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 3: Well, the great thing about appalling and abysmal experiences is 137 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 3: they make for a good story. 138 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: It's almost better than. 139 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 3: Slightly below average, because then you just you know, you 140 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 3: don't have a story. You wasted your money, you're not satisfied. 141 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 3: But something that's like abysmal, you're gonna be telling people 142 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 3: about it having laughs. 143 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: I tell that story way more than like a perfect dinner. 144 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like my kids and I have a coincidentally, 145 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 3: because I mentioned it, a Denny story from Arizona.

So they tried to get 148 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 3: these pancakes. It was at Christmas time, and they made 149 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 3: like a Santa out of the pancakes. Anyway, that's when 150 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 3: I we never got our food, and I went up 151 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 3: to the kitchen to try to figure out what was 152 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 3: going on, and the waitress was yelling at the cook, 153 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 3: and the cook quent and left right in front of me. 154 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: It was really quite the thing to see. 155 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 3: But I still talk about that because it was an 156 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 3: appalling experience, but it was entertaining. 157 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 4: Oh wow. 158 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: So all right, finally, final note, so if you've had 159 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: an experience that was just completely average but slightly better, 160 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: you'd say mediocre and just slightly worse, not bad. 161 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, that story, Katie quickly is.

And he 173 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: just kept looking straight ahead and kind of doing things slowly, 174 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: And then pretty soon he just walked out and I 175 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: assume he left. 176 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 4: Wow. 177 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: I don't know what happened, but that had been bruined 178 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: for a while. I have a feeling she couldn't get 179 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: a response. 180 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 4: Out of him. That's dreadful. 181 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: He kept me awful sandwich a turd sandwich. 182 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 3: But we didn't ask about that one. We still laugh 183 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 3: about that experience of Denny's. Oh so I got something 184 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 3: out of it. Again, I'd rather have appalling than below average. 185 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: What would be worse A ts I'm not going to 186 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: repeat the phrase, or a fuster cluck. 187 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 3: Mine was really more of a fuster cluck than the 188 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 3: food being bad. 189 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: Because we never got food. We had to go somewhere else. 190 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: That's a pretty good story. 191 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 2: It's the I'm Strong and Getty show. 192 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 4: Arm Strong. I thought he was just petting her for 193 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 4: a second. 194 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: I had to rewatch it a couple of times because 195 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: it is hard to see. 196 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 4: It's dark, and he doesn't carry her very nicely. I 197 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 4: see her little tail and I'm like, oh my god. 198 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 4: I couldn't believe what I was seeing. 199 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: So that's the story of an Amazon driver who took 200 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: somebody's cat. 201 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 4: So what happened? Cat rustlers? 202 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: So you deliver a packaging and think, well, that's a 203 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: particularly good looking cat. All cats are more or less 204 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: the same. I don't know. 205 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 4: You gotta you gotta hang cat rustlers. 206 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: There's a lot of cats around. You don't need to 207 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: steal that person's cat. 208 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 4: You're a nut. Wow. 209 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 3: I think Amazon throws a pretty wide net when it 210 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 3: comes to drivers this time of year, it is Michael. 211 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 4: That's a terrible way to put it. 212 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: They've identified the driver, but for some reason they can't 213 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: find him. Now I think if you can fog a mirror, 214 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: you probably qualify to drive for Amazon. 215 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 4: That would be my guest. Yes, yes, boy. 216 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 3: So I've talked a lot about how great being a 217 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 3: boy Scout has been for my son. It's maybe literally 218 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 3: the best thing that has happened in his life, and 219 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 3: it is for a lot of kids. And I've witnessed 220 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 3: to myself and then at the very beginning of scouting, 221 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 3: and it's what got me started on thinking of raising 222 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 3: money for the Scouts so we could get involved. Is 223 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 3: talking to one of the dads there, and one of 224 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 3: the dads saying, yeah, a lot of it's too bad. 225 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 3: A lot of families just can't afford to get their 226 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 3: kid into scouting because it is going to be several 227 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 3: hundred dollars to join, variety of fees and stuff like that. 228 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 3: So what we're trying to do is raise money so 229 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 3: that you can bypass that fee. He got a kid 230 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 3: that wants to be in scouting, boy or girl, But 231 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 3: it's mostly boys. 232 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: I mean, just in my experience. 233 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 3: That we can pick up the tab on the join 234 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 3: in the Scouts so that you can do that. And 235 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 3: like last night, I was observing some of the last 236 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 3: of the meeting they meet weekly, and they were celebrating 237 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 3: Henry's birthday because his birthday is next week, and he 238 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 3: brought some troops and the treats and they all saying 239 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 3: happy Birthday, and they did the flag ceremony and blah blah. 240 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: Blah, just all the stuff. 241 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 3: It's so freaking awesome and the just for me, just 242 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 3: seeing a whole bunch of in this case, it's all 243 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 3: young men saying the pledge of allegiance and saluting the flag. 244 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 3: Jesus fills me with the warmth I can't imagine because 245 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 3: it's just so not what you see in the year 246 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 3: twenty twenty. 247 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: Five, learning self reliance, taking the initiative becoming. 248 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 4: Men to help them learn how to become men. 249 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: Which is like taboo and a lot of our perverse society. 250 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 4: So yeah, I love it. I love the influence. 251 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 3: I went to a really big like award ceremony they 252 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 3: had for top level people that are involved in the 253 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 3: organization anyway.

I'm not used to that sort of 261 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: thing out of modern kids, and seeing it coming out 262 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: of Scouting, I just think is awesome. And I don't 263 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: want anybody to not be able to have their kid 264 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: joined Scouts because what it costs to join. And that's 265 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: why we're trying to raise money and go to Armstrong 266 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: and getty dot com.

It's not it's not 302 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 3: a full on blockade, like nothing nothing can come or go. 303 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 4: Correct. 304 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, just the sanctioned oil tankers, said Trump on truth 305 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: social which is again a bit of an odd way 306 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,239 Speaker 1: to make presidential proclamations. 307 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 4: Venezuela, is that what he said? Oh boy, that was yikes. 308 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest armada ever assembled 309 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: in the history of South America, Trump said, helpfully, using 310 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: a Spanish term for the giant assemblage of ships. Didn't 311 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: I didn't pick up on that. That's pretty help to 312 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: help understand what's going exactly, He threatened. The US military 313 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: presence would quote only get bigger, and the shock to 314 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: them will be like nothing they have ever seen before 315 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: unless Maduro's regime regime returned quote oil, land and other 316 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: assets that they previously stole from US, an apparent reference 317 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: to Venezuela's nationalization of US linked holdings in the country. Okay, Yeah, 318 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: I had to ask a question. 319 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 3: When he said they got to give back our oil 320 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 3: in our land, I thought, in what senses that are oil? 321 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 3: And I really wondered and what how did how did 322 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 3: Venezuela end up with some of our land? I didn't 323 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 3: understand that at all. 324 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: Half a Phoenix. Yeah, it's a scandal. It's amazing Venezuela 325 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: took half of Phoenix. How did I miss that? It's 326 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: occupying it seems like I could be a big news story. 327 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 1: No celebrities involved, so uh no. So yeah, it's it 328 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: has to do with nationalizing oil. Interestingly, Chevron, which has 329 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: been a presence in Venezuela for I think over one 330 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: hundred years, is excluded from any sort of blockading or 331 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: sanctioning or anything like that, and they're sailing in and 332 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: out of Venezuelan points of ports with oil as they have. 333 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 4: For many moons. 334 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: They have an agreement with the US and it's kind 335 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: of a carve out, which is interesting m because it's 336 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: obviously revenue for the Venezuela. It's a complicated relationship. I 337 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: started to read about it and thought, there's no way 338 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 1: I can accurately communicate this to the good people, but 339 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: just suffice it to say it's complicated, and well, say. 340 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 3: He keeps hinting that there will be land strikes. I 341 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 3: don't know why that hits people as an escalation, because 342 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 3: blasting a boat in the water is not much different 343 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 3: than hitting somebody walking down a dirt road. 344 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's something about on our land, our country, our 345 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: dirt that's especially offensive to human beings for some reason. 346 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 1: If we're out there on the water, we don't like it, 347 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: but just don't blow up our dirt. Yeah. I haven't 348 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: got even. 349 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 3: A slightly educated guess as to where this is going, 350 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 3: So I guess we'll sit back and watch. 351 00:18:55,160 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: Is there anything Maduro can promise concede to Trump without 352 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: leaving power that will ratchet this down? Who was I 353 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: watching the other day? Is somebody I really like saying 354 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: this is obviously a regime regime change policy, right? For 355 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: whatever reason, they don't want to say it out loud, 356 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 1: or maybe just because it's got such a nasty hangover 357 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: from a couple of regime changes that haven't exactly gone 358 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: our way, and lots of them don't, because once you 359 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: change regimes, you have no idea what's going to replace it, 360 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: and it's often not something better. Sometimes it's something worse 361 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: or just as bad. In fact, frequently power vacuums reward 362 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: the most vicious, most auspicious. 363 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 4: I'm rapping a little bit. 364 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 3: Part of it is you get rid of whoever's in charge, 365 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 3: and you have a lot of disorder. And when you 366 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 3: have a lot of disorder, thank god, I've never lived 367 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 3: through in Americans. We haven't had to. But you have 368 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 3: a lot of disorder. People welcome anybody. I don't care. 369 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 3: IS's fine, come in. If you can stop the crime 370 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 3: in the streets and get somebody to pick up the garbage, fine. 371 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 3: And that's how Hamas or or whoever. The bath party 372 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 3: in Iraq they get over because people want order. At 373 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 3: some point, you're willing to put up with pretty much 374 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 3: anything for order. One of the most interesting things I've 375 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 3: heard read in the last couple of years has been 376 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 3: the British commentators comedian I guess I just think of 377 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 3: him as a thinker, honestly, Constantine Kissen, who is talking 378 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 3: about the history of Russian how it differs so starkly 379 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 3: from the history of the United States. And I talked 380 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 3: about this when I first read it but that in 381 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 3: the last you know, few hundred years of Russian history, 382 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 3: there have been strong leaders, then periods of unrest, and 383 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 3: during those periods of unrest, the slaughter has been unimaginable, 384 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 3: and then a strong leader will come in and bring 385 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 3: order and stop the killing. 386 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 4: Now that strong leader might do a fair amount of killing. 387 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 1: Too, but so the Russian people, their whole history yearns 388 00:20:53,400 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: for a strong leader to just quash the conflict. And anyway, 389 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, how do we get into that conversation? I 390 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: remember how regime change can to something worse. So yeah, yeah, 391 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: a lack of stability is one of the worst things 392 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: you can have. And you know who doesn't appreciate that 393 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: or never thinks about it. A country that's been extremely 394 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: stable for a very long time, and you have your 395 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: college kids in the streets screaming for revolution because they're 396 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: freaking morons. But what do you think is our main 397 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: reason for wanting regime change in Venezuela. I mean, that 398 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: is not an issue that President Trump ran on or 399 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: anybody talked about ever we were at the Republican Convention. 400 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 4: Don't remember it coming up a lot. 401 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 1: No, I suspect it has something to do with the uh, 402 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: the quasi, well, the whole we want to control our neighborhood. 403 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, the quasi Monroe doctor, that's a big picture like, Okay, China, 404 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 3: you're gonna run that part of the world. We're going 405 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 3: to run this part of the world. 406 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and a feeling like, all right, we've got this 407 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: incredibly beautiful, ought to be incredibly bitch country right across 408 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: the Gulf of America, and they'd be a great ally 409 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: and all, but they got this tin horned jackass dictator 410 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: run of the place, doing nobody any good? And why 411 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: are we putting up with that? What's the point of 412 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: power if we permit that right in our backyard? I 413 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 1: think that's the thing here. 414 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 3: Trump's given a primetime live speech tonight. I have no 415 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 3: idea how many networks are planning to take it. Fox 416 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 3: is taking but I don't know if like ABC, CBSNBC, R. 417 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 3: Can you look into that, Katie, see if the big 418 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 3: networks are taking Trump's speech tonight because. 419 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 4: We have a theme. 420 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 3: Well, the theme is supposed to be We're back baby, 421 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 3: the economy is roaring. It's the same theme he's taken 422 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,199 Speaker 3: on the road to his rallies across the country. And 423 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 3: I'm not sure if I'm a network president, I consider 424 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 3: that news. It seems like more of a campaign speech. 425 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 3: But we'll see if they take it. And I just 426 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 3: wondered if you would touch on Venezuela. That'd be a 427 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 3: good way to get the networks to take your speech, 428 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 3: as if you promised some information to the American people 429 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 3: on what the hell we're doing. But as way, when 430 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 3: why because we haven't had a lot of that. But 431 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 3: the other thing, we do have a hell of a force. 432 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I was just reading about it. It's staged. 433 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's impressive and lethal. It is absolutely incredible. 434 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 3: You know anything about this, Katie, Let's take all the 435 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 3: major networks, okayry, Okay, So they said his newsworthy. 436 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: I'm kind of surprised. I thought I thought some of 437 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: your networks would say, we're not going to let him 438 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: do a campaign speech on our channel. 439 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 4: But there so cool. You want to hear what they're thinking. 440 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: It's not charitable for better ratings there, they're thinking, A, 441 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: it'll get a lot of attention and V Trump always 442 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: on schools, plenty of rope to hang himself with. Oh, 443 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: they think it'll be more arm the risk for our 444 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: commentators to criticize the crap out of them for the 445 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: next three days. Well, I don't know, I don't know. 446 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 3: I don't know if I think you're right about that, 447 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,719 Speaker 3: because they often don't take Trump stuff. And I've and 448 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 3: I've thought for years that I think if I'm running MSNBC, 449 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 3: I put Trump on all the time for my audience. Anyway, 450 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 3: speaking of Venezuela, remember we hit that boat and there 451 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 3: are a couple of scumbags left in the water ready 452 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 3: to attack the United States again, and so we blasted 453 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 3: them real good, make sure they were dead. 454 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: Uh, that video is not going to be released. 455 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 3: The Secretary of War Pete Haggs that announced there's too 456 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 3: much national security at stake, so we will not see 457 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 3: the second video, which to me means that he feels 458 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 3: like this particular little scandal has died down enough that 459 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 3: he could make that announcement And isn't even nobody's really 460 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 3: even talking about it, and on we go with our 461 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 3: lives and nobody will everythink about it. 462 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: Or my cynical, cynical friend he might be thinking, no, 463 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: this would threaten our national security. I don't believe that 464 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: changed my mind about Oh, really, DIDs somebody smart explain 465 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 1: that to you? I know, I figured it out for myself. Okay. 466 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 6: Never before published Doctor Seuss book has now been discovered 467 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 6: Singing to fifty United States.

The manuscript was found 470 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 6: earlier this year at the Guys of Library at uc 471 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 6: San Diego. 472 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 4: What crazy is that. 473 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 3: They found a new Doctor Seuss book and the USA 474 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 3: related for the So that's cool. Yeah, So you came 475 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 3: across more information that Bill Gates has had a major 476 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 3: change of heart about climate change. 477 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 4: Yeah. 478 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: I mean back in the day he was one of 479 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 1: the leading cheerleaders of climate alarmism. 480 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 4: This could be. 481 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 3: Important for those of us who think it's been overblown 482 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 3: for a long time. 483 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 4: Yeah. 484 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, he said way back in the day that blah 485 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: blah blah, the climate change will be one of the 486 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: greatest challenges humans have ever taken on. Greater than landing 487 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: on the moon, greater than eradicating smallpox, even greater than 488 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: putting a computer on every desk, and then the enormous 489 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: loss of life. And now he says that never mind. 490 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: Well no, he essentially he said, look, poverty and disease 491 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: are the biggest problems, as they've always been understanding this, 492 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: lets us focus our limited resources on interventions that will 493 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: have the greatest impact for the most vulnerable people. In 494 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: other words, don't spend all your time and money and 495 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: effort on climate change. Help people where they are. Yeah, 496 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: we know, Bill, we know, so he's come around. I 497 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: wonder if will this be reported in the New York 498 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: Times and who will criticize him bitterly for it? 499 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 3: How many people do we have who wear any of 500 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 3: the metaglasses. Our agent, the greatest agent in the world, 501 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 3: Eric wears them. There ray bands, but they you can 502 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 3: make phone calls, you can listen to music, you can 503 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 3: do a variety of things. And the reason I mentioned 504 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 3: this is they got the new version out, generation two 505 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 3: that has a little screen that shows up in one 506 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 3: of the lens and you can see it like a 507 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 3: little computer screen and other people looking at you. Other 508 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 3: versions like Google, what was the one that wants Yeah, 509 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 3: people could see it and it was a little off putting. 510 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 3: Everything like these. It looks like you're just wearing glasses. 511 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 3: They can't see on their side that you're looking at 512 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 3: screen that just shows on your side. And I saw 513 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 3: it demonstrated, and the couple of reviewers talking about how 514 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 3: it's amazing it is. For instance, directions they were just 515 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 3: walking around the town and they put up the directions 516 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 3: of like, hey, you walk up to this corner and 517 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 3: you turn left and you're following your way to get 518 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 3: someplace wherever. 519 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: Just one example. 520 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 3: Or they had somebody they were cooking in the kitchen 521 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 3: and they had in their lens. Instead of regularly look 522 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 3: at your phone or whatever, the recipe for whatever you're 523 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 3: making was right there. While you can also be looking 524 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 3: at whatever you're doing anyway, reading something that closed your eyeball. 525 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 4: How does that work? 526 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: It must work. They all say it was great. 527 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 3: But and these weren't people working for the company selling it. 528 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 3: These were independent reviewers who have said they haven't liked 529 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 3: past versions and that they think this is finally crossed 530 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 3: over into that this might be something that people start 531 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 3: to use. But one of the reviewers I said this said, 532 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 3: she said, this is gonna divide us even more into 533 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 3: not paying attention to each other, or listening to each other, 534 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 3: or living in our own worlds. As you can sit 535 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 3: there with your glasses on and you know, reading something 536 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 3: else or watching a video or whatever the hell you're 537 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 3: doing instead of paying attention to your friend. 538 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 4: That's funny. 539 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: The Journal just had a big article about CEOs and 540 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: executives dealing with people texting and checking their feeds and 541 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: whatever during meetings, and they can tell that they're not 542 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: really present, and you won't be able to tell. Now 543 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: you'll be checking your text in a little thing in 544 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: your eye, your lens. 545 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 4: Until somebody says, Jack, what do you think? 546 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: And you say, oh, I agree with most of what's 547 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: been said. 548 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 4: I mean to study it further. Let's not be hasty. 549 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 3: There's nuance, though, and so that it requires a second look. 550 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 3: I think we should put a pin on it and 551 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 3: circle back. But I realized a long time ago with texting. 552 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 3: I told this story a bunch of times. The first 553 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 3: time I heard about texting, I thought that that's stupid. 554 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you just call them? And then you know, 555 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 3: finding out it takes over my life like it did 556 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 3: everybody else. So I realized I don't have the ability 557 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 3: to predict even what I am interested in doing or 558 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 3: not doing, let alone the rest of humanity. I don't 559 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 3: see like a need or use for these glasses, but 560 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 3: for all I know, everybody will be wearing them in 561 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 3: two years. 562 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 4: The Armstrong and Getty Show
