WEBVTT - Look At Your Ass 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.840 Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:24.599 Getty and know He Armstrong and Getty. A woman recently 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:27.160 won a video game tournament in Florida just five days 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:29.760 after giving birth, And frankly, I'm more impressed that someone 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:32.240 who's that good at video games had sex. 0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:40.040 It's interesting that that joke continues given the fact that, like, 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:45.000 practically every young man plays video games, the lowest number 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:48.360 of them are having sex ever, right, true, true, but 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.280 there's a lot of like. But anyway, don't want to 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.080 get off on that. Well, whose voice was that? I've 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:54.400 been working solo for several hours. Look at who's at 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:54.720 the door. 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:57.560 It's Joketty. 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.520 Cold Warriors be Cold Warrior. I love that so much. 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:08.560 He's a shiver and some level of arousal. So you 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.839 went to breakfast story, Why did you leave for several hours? 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.120 Yes, I had a hankering for eggs, Benedict, No, I 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.280 had to have some skin cancer cut off. It's the 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:21.199 non scary kind, the most common, the easiest to cure. 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:24.839 Your basil cell carcinoma right on the bridge of my nose. 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:30.080 So I went and got hacked, but it went fine. 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.000 It's one of those deals where they remove some tissue, 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.840 they excize it and send it to the lab real quick, 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.280 and they look at the margins and say, yep, you're clear, 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:40.759 or at you got to take more. 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.760 Tissue, and I know you've had the second answer. 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.560 It just got to be very dissappoint We've got to 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.320 go deeper. 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:52.920 Knock me out now, if it takes a hammer, do 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:53.600 it right. 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.280 But no, I actually, and I don't want to dispense 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:01.000 anything within one hundred miles of medical advice, but for 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.280 reasons of scheduling and traveling stuff like that, I ended 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.520 up at a plastic surgeon and not a quote unquote 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.320 Moe's surgeon, which is a certain procedure that they do. 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:11.799 Uh. 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.840 Really happy that happened. Oh interesting, really happy. 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.560 Yeah, But again that's not to impugne anyone in their 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:20.960 medical practice or blah blah blah. 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.520 So what's the kind that I'm always amazed when I 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:26.000 go to the doctor and say, look at this, doesn't 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:27.919 this look scary? And I'm like, no, that's nothing to 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:31.240 worry about. My ability to identify what's the scary one? 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:32.600 And what's not is not very good. 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:36.960 Apparently, especially as you past sixty years old. Yes, and 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:40.600 your skin thinks, why am I hanging around here? You've reproduced, 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.399 you've raised your kids, Get the hell out of the way. 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:46.160 The young people need to take over, and funky stuff 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:46.880 starts to happen. 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:48.440 But what are you going to do? I know a 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:53.320 woman who a shewed the sunlight for most of her 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:54.960 adult life? Would that be the right use of that. 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:59.360 Term, and now is really really happy about it, and 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.000 her friends are like, why didn't I do that? Because 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:02.960 they were they looked tan and good when they were younger, 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.160 and she did not. But man, you get older, it 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:06.120 makes it. 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.600 It pays off. I didn't do well. I've got way 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:09.760 too much sun when I was young. 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:14.320 And you're hyper tanning types.

Then they 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.520 run a simulation. All right, here's a simulation from eighteen sixty. 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:45.080 Here's it. 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:46.800 Well, I probably would have been killed in the Civil War. 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.880 But here's a simulation from nineteen hundred, nineteen fifty and 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.039 so on and so forth. I mean, they might say, hey, 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.560 do you remember, like I've got a couple of dental 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.040 implants because my teeth cracked or whatever. 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:58.520 They went, heywhere and I had to get him? 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.240 But they would look at that dad and run it like, 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.479 well a war game like they do on computers now, 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.680 and say, hey, do you remember when you had that 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.839 really bad toothache and they had to extract your tooth 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.440 or whatever. That would have been sepsis. You'd have died 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.280 from it at age twenty three or whatever it is. 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.320 I mean, if they could do that signed a kind 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:22.160 of computer model, and I think if you ran those 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.240 models for people a few times, they'd be like, yeah, 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.400 I'm staying in the twenty first century, thank you. 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:28.160 Absolutely. 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.640 Remember when I snagged myself on the barbed wire fence 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.560 when I was drunk trying to climb over it. Oh, yeah, 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:35.680 that would have killed me if I had couldn't have 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:37.240 got went and got a tennis shot. 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:38.160 Yeah. 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.320 Wow, Well, and I have it on pretty good authority. 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.560 My wife and first child probably would have died in childbirth. 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:49.800 They were the classic died in childbirth, impossible labor and 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:50.760 difficult delivery and. 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:51.360 Stuff like that. 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:55.320 So yeah, I'm here, I'm queer, and I have no 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:56.839 time machine or something. 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:03.960 I was at a NASCAR race. A friend of mine 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.400 was working one of the beer booths and could get 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:10.200 me free beer. Oh so you add those two things 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:15.040 together and you are inebriated age place. I was thirty one, 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.400 good enough, so then walking, not twenty five, but it's 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:23.640 good enough. Walking to the car. I was a passenger. 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:28.800 It was parked in a field and I had to crawl. 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:31.880 I took a shortcut to crawl through this barb wire 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:35.119 fence in a field, and it was really hammered drunk, 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.599 and I lost my balance and I slipped and my 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:39.760 leg got caught up on the barbed wire fence with 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.640 one of the barbs jammed into my leg and it 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:47.720 just kind of sliding down my leg. Oh, bar separating 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.200 me open, And I couldn't feel it because I was 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.200 so hammered and I was actually thinking to myself, this 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:52.800 is not good. 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:53.800 I shouldn't be feeling this. 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.400 And then when I got into the car with the passenger, 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.640 me and a couple other people, we convince the driver 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.680 to pick up aig. 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:09.920 Gets better and better. I remember that story. This holeless 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:14.760 dude in the back seat with me bleed. That's a 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.920 good time. Huh. It was quite a crue you were 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:19.400 running back in those days. 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:22.120 Jeez. 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:23.760 It happened to me once. 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:27.080 I was fairly inebriated and reached behind a guy's couch 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.600 because I dropped something or whatever and pulled it back 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.440 and felt just kind of a scratching on my arm, 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:34.560 but didn't pay attention to it. And we went back 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.119 to doing what we were doing. And at some point 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.240 he said, where's all that blood color from? 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.679 Oh? Oh, yeah, I'd rake. 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.880 Like a nail all the way down by Oh yes, beautiful. 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.560 Oh but I was up on my Titanu's shot. And 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.440 that's a tip for you folks that you take away 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.040 from this segment. Get up to date on your Teennis. 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:54.520 Shot unless RFK Junior says it gives you autism or something. 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:58.040 Oh boy, speaking of the twenty first century, we got 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:02.640 this great email in which Diane kind of summarized an article. 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.080 Do you remember seeing that headline, I don't. 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:07.320 Know, a couple of weeks, a couple of months ago, 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:11.760 Western executives who visit China are coming back terrified. There 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:13.600 are a couple of different versions of that story. I 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.320 think it may have been the Big Auto executives. But 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:20.760 she sent along a little commentary. And the first thing 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:25.320 this guy says is, and this is an interesting angle. 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.120 He's talking about how badly the left has lied for 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:32.240 decades about how China took over manufacturing. And I've never 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.280 thought of this as a left right thing. But anyway, 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.160 just to read what he says, how liberals swore it 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.680 was just because China has cheaper labor, all those rice 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:40.640 farmers willing to work for slave wages. 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:42.000 Well, see, I told you so. 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:46.480 Yesterday the Telegraph ran an illuminating story headline, Western executives 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.199 who visited China are coming back terrified. If you guessed 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.640 what terrified Western executives were legions of cheap Chinese workers, 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:57.560 think again. And this guy has traveled to China, but 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:02.400 he says, I, in the past have suggested the only 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:05.440 real advantage that I ever had was that its factories. 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:06.040 Were newer than ours. 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.240 They invested in state of the art, they came along 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.400 a lot later than we did, etc. You know, if 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.120 I buy a car this year and you bought a 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:14.679 car five years ago, I'm going to have a more 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:15.520 up to date car. 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.280 But he says no, no, No. 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:22.480 CEO Ford CEO Jim Farley said, it's the most humbling 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:26.720 thing I've ever seen after a recent trip touring Chinese 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:30.280 manufacturing plants. It wasn't the slave labor conditions, it was 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:35.000 the robots. Quote, you're walking along this alongside this conveyor 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.680 and after about eight hundred nine hundred meters a truck 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:39.520 drives out. 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.559 There are no people. Everything is robotic. 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:47.560 Wow, added another Australian billionaire who took a similar tour, 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:51.280 and the executives described these vast dark factories where the 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:52.120 robots do so. 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.040 Much of the work. They don't even have lights on 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.719 for the humans. They don't need them. 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:01.880 Well, that's telegraphing that that is cost effective given the 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.439 fact that they do have basically slave labor or people 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.760 that can force into working very low wages. But it's 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.800 still apparently the best bet to have a robot. 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.719 Yes, both, I'm sure, it's both, depending on the sophistication 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:15.160 of the plant. 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:16.640 But listen to this here. 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:23.680 This is how many new industrial robots were added last 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.400 year in the UK. 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:27.320 It was a pitiful twenty five hundred. 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.520 Back to our stat yesterday, was it zero of the 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.320 top fifty companies in the world are in Europe or 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:34.960 was it twenty five? It might have been twenty five, 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:39.400 but zero anyway, So how many robots last year? Industrial robots? 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:43.040 Twenty five hundred in the UK, thirty four thousand in 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:49.400 the US, twenty seven thousand in Germany so again, thirty 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.000 four grand in the US, two hundred and ninety five 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:53.840 thousand in China. 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.920 Wow, So they are way ahead of US and robots 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:03.960 and investing like maniacs in automated labor. That's something. Yeah, 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:07.559 that's something they don't have, you. 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.000 Know, when we had the big doc strike thing going on. 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.880 They don't have unions that are going to try to 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:18.079 fight any advancement in technology. No, no, no, we still 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.959 need human beings to stand here and read the license plate. 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.000 China ain't gonna do that right now. 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:29.000 This guy then jumps to the defense of tariffs, which 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.920 he says change the calculus, spurring a generation of executives 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.200 to try to figure out how to build cheaper stuff here. 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:35.560 There has been a fair amount of that. 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.840 Tariffs are now the only answer since China's ten or 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:42.240 twenty years ahead in factory buildouts. Had someone stood up 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.720 twenty years ago and said the reason production is moving 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:47.800 to Asia is only because they have newer, more efficient 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.320 factories than all of this might have been avoided. But 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.280 we heard, I heard, I bought. No, it's their labor's cheaper. 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:58.559 There's labor's cheaper, over and over and over again. For 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:04.240 one hundred thousand new industrial robots last freaking years. We 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:08.400 have in the United States last year thirty four thousand. 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:15.319 Wow, that is something. Dang it, dang it is right 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.960 tarn to speak Mandarin. Yeah, it's my suggestion. 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.040 No no, no, no. 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:24.680 No, no, no to easily Okay. 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.719 No, we gotta we gotta fire up our industrial capacity. 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:31.280 We gotta get off, get your sweet lips off the 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.360 Chinese sugar teat man. 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.080 Got to rely on ourselves more on our allies. 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:40.240 Every robot probably replaces what a couple people because they 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:44.040 can work around the clock holidays. 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:48.080 That's an interesting question. I would guess it's more than that. Yeah, 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.480 that's really plus they're they're speedy. Yeah, you tell it, 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.760 work faster, you tweak the little dial in its back. 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.120 At least that's what I'm imagining, because probably. 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:58.040 Work faster a hole they see. I don't say that, 0:12:58.160 --> 0:12:58.959 and I gonna say that. 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.160 Yeah, I'm where fast enough already, I'm on strike. 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.079 No, your mother was working faster last night. 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.720 You don't have this or my sweaty Wait a minute 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:15.439 of pushback from robots. Okay, we got moral, stay here, strong, hetty. 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:20.360 I liked you. 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:21.160 I like this. 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:25.080 Some people say, very nice, but go ahead, I'm just 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.840 speaking fact. Yeah. 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.400 So Kamala Harris was doing an interview somewhere. She's still 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.440 promoting that stupid book. Some people say I was the 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.679 most qualified person ever run for president? How I mean? 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:41.360 I realized politicians say amazingly over the top things all 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.160 the time, But that is how do you get those 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:45.320 words to come out of your mouth? 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.319 Well, hubris and lack of self awareness, I get, But 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.720 what about all the folks in the crowd are just 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:56.360 shrieked with delight, Yeah, and happiness when she said that, 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:02.360 Good lord, you know, when when when my guy's a 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.200 bit of a you know, half assed candidate, but he's 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:06.359 better than the alternative. 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:08.520 I'm not gonna if he's doing his. 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.600 Book tour, which has been widely mocked after he loses 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.080 the election. So, you know, some people think I would 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.160 have been the greatest president in the history of the world. 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:21.600 I'm not going to yell and cheer. I'm like, yeah, well, you're. 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:25.200 The best we could vomit up the last election cycle. 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.320 I'm not going to pretend you're a saint. What sort 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.920 of cultists through out there yelling and screaming and delights 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:32.320 Kamala Harris. 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:36.000 I mean, well, some people say a lot of crazy crap, 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:37.240 but that's near the top. 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.080 But when Trump says they say, I'm the healthiest person 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.400 that's ever been president, I laugh, I don't cheer. 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:48.000 Oh right right, yeah, oh, speaking of the last election cycle, 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:50.880 we just got hold of this or were reacquainted with 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.800 it. It happened, you know, a few weeks ago, several weeks ago. 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:57.800 But it's Democratic strategist Liz Smith and Scott Jennings on 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:03.960 CNN talking about the trials, literally the trials of Trump 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:05.120 sixty three. 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.920 Michael, I think democrats are learning and I'm going to 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.480 agree with you that Democrats cannot only be the party 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.840 of resistance. We cannot like we resisted so hard between 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.400 twenty seventeen and twenty twenty four, we impeached the guy, 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:20.160 like if we've prosecuted him, convicted him of thirty four 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.520 felony accounts, and guess what, he still got elected. 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.520 So I don't know how much harder we can resist, right? 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.600 Are you admitting that the case against Trump in New 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:28.840 York was part of the organized Democratic Party resistance? 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.520 It was a Democratic prosecutor and at the time, okay, 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.040 at the time I thought it was unwise. I went 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:36.960 on Fox News and said this at. 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:38.320 The time, there were a lot just to be clear, 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:38.840 this wasn't. 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:40.800 Just to be clear, everybody who now touts the thirty 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:42.360 four felonies, take it from Liz. 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:43.360 This was not a real case. 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.000 This was a plot to up in the presidential campaign, 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:46.960 which I just think it was. 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:48.400 A boneheaded moved by Alvin Bragd. 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:49.960 Wow, that's interesting. 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:56.040 Yeah, yeah, I didn't need confirmation from Liz Smith. I 0:15:56.080 --> 0:16:02.840 already knew it one percent. But the cynicism in politics, 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:07.040 actually inside politics, I don't think it's possible for the 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:08.360 layman to picture it. 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:12.400 Now, No normal people, and I mean normal, normal people 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:13.000 couldn't do it. 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:14.840 Yeah. 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:18.960 One of the most you know, communicative and devastating lines 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.040 of all time from Mark Liebovich's This Town is two 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.520 of those consultant hacks. We're on a talk show in 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:29.760 the green room laughing about Uh, they don't the viewers 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:32.000 don't get the joke. They're not in on the joke, 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.440 And Leibovich had to ask him a couple of times, 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.080 what's the joke, Come on, what's the joke? 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:40.760 And the guy finally answered that we're patriots. That's rough. 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:44.880 I think we're all better off knowing it. 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.760 Ma'm Danny is in a debate tonight that I'm sure 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.360 we'll have some highlights from tomorrow, as they're going to 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.880 grill him on his communist anti Jew tendencies. 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.600 Disarm the police, release all the prisoners, and all the 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:01.760 program for the bright kids in schools. 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.000 Sounds great government run grocery stores. 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:08.239 I assume it'll be pressed on all these things. 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:09.840 Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.879 Brewers at Dodgers tonight with the Dodgers leading to nothing, 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:21.200 Blue Jays at Mariners with Seattle leading to one likely 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.159 headed toward a Dodgers. 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:27.800 Mariners world series. So there you go, West Coast Special. 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.080 We talked about this a little bit earlier, but I 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:32.760 want to get into more of the specifics because I 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:34.240 find this really interesting. 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.440 The headline sort of. 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:41.520 Hides a lot of the really good stuff, the headline 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:49.720 being that you reach your functional peak as a human 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:54.919 later than they had previously thought. Now functional functional is 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:57.119 what we're going to get into defining here that word 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:00.760 as they use sixteen different dimensions. This is a serious, 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:05.679 like university study. This is not I don't know, so 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.280 many studies and you should look out for this. It's 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.679 fun to talk about him. So many studies that you 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:14.760 hear that are you know it turns out, you know, 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:19.040 it's paid for by the pudding corporation, and it turns 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:20.960 out you'd be better off eating more pudding in your 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.920 life or whatever, right exactly, Yeah, yeah, just dumb stuff 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.919 like that. But it turns out that people reach their 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.280 functional peak in their late fifties early sixties, decades later 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:34.000 than most people assume when you figure in all these 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:38.679 different things. So physical strength obviously, and certain cognitive abilities 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:42.879 like processing speed decline steadily after your mid twenties. 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:43.840 And I think we. 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:47.760 All canna test Yes, oh, if you're past your mid twenties, 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:50.320 you're aware of that, But a whole bunch of other 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:55.639 things you get stronger at for quite some time, but 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:56.040 they all. 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:57.000 Diminish it eventually. 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:03.440 Intelligence, personality, emotional eligence, decision making, overall functioning continues developing 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:08.560 through midlife, reaching its apex at around sixty years old. 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:13.399 A twenty five year old can process information faster, hold 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:17.520 more items in their working memory, and solve abstract reasoning 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:21.120 problems more quickly than someone decades older. So that stuff, 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:24.320 you're better at twenty five than you are later. And 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.239 that's who was I talking to the other day. They 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:30.439 were younger than me, and they're talking about how they 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:32.280 forget stuff now, and I said, yeah, I finally had 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:34.680 to give in and start like leaving myself notes because 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:36.760 I used to just I used to be very proud 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:38.919 of I just I could remember everything I needed to 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.960 do and how I was going to do it, this 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:43.960 and that I just knew I was going to remember. 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:46.480 That worked for a while and then it until it didn't. 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.800 Fluid intelligence, because we were talking about working memory there, 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:53.000 holding information. 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:54.760 In your head and all that sort of stuff peaks. 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:58.719 Around twenty five fluid intelligence, the ability to think on 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:04.000 your feet and solve novel program problems, peaks at twenty 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:09.159 and declines after that. Wow, isn't that something? Oh huh, Okay, 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:12.080 that's probably good for uh, you know a lot of 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:16.040 your military age people and the kind of decisions they 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:18.040 got to make really quickly on their feet and they're 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:19.040 around twenty years old. 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.960 Yeah. Man, there's a lot to this. Yeah, other terms 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:25.320 to understand and subtleties and the rest of Yeah. 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:29.600
