Speaker 1: We'll have to do that after clips of the week.

11
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: I want to hear about that. You know me, I'm

Speaker 1: Uh yeah, we are on the Gram. I just don't

Speaker 1: hour of the week. It's gonna be a frantic race

29
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: to the finish. But first, let's pause and take a

30
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: fond look back at the week that was. It's cow

33
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 4: The grand experiment has begun.

34
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: Because it is none. How about lunch?

35
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 5: No lunch?

36
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: Okay, how about later my place? You're married her.

37
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 6: Michelle Obama wish her husband Brock a happy sixty fourth

38
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 6: birthday and said he's quote the coolest guy I know,

39
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 6: right back.

40
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: At you, he said. A landmark moment for Major League Baseball.

41
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 5: For the first time in league history, there will be.

42
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: A woman umpire for a regular season game.

43
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 3: They understand that we have a Tim o' hitler in

44
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: the White House right now, and that's.

45
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 7: Just a way of trying to divert attention to something

46
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 7: that's total both.

47
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: I'm told the Trump Putin summit is tentatively scheduled for

48
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 3: the end of next week.

49
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, people here are highly skeptical that anything tangible is

50
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 5: really going to come out of this. The volcano Russian

51
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 5: signists say was dormant six hundred years erupted hours later,

52
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 5: an earthquake triggered tsunami. Warning Army officials say, twenty eight

53
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 5: year old Sergeant Cornelius Ranford opened fire at his logistics

54
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 5: job using his non military personal handgun.

55
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 4: The man who attacked me and might have permanently damaged

56
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 4: me forever should.

57
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: Never have been on the streets. Ever.

58
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 3: Do you agree that the heir apparent to Maga is

59
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: Jade vance Well?

60
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 5: I think most likely Former President Bill Clinton and former

61
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 5: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are facing congressional subpoenas.

62
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 3: They face a possibility of facing brobery charges, which is

63
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: a second degree felony in the state of Texas.

64
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: We will not let power go unchecked.

65
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 8: We have the opportunity to defect to de facto end

66
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 8: the Trump presidency.

67
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 3: Not only are we gonna punch back, but we about

68
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: to beat you down.

69
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 7: That's why, so I'd say to the Republicans, you're fighting

70
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 7: fire with fire.

71
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: That's okay. I want to thank Tim Cook.

72
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 7: He's a great, great man, a visionary, a businessman, just

73
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 7: about every quality you can have other than athleticism, I

74
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 7: don't know about.

75
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: Oh look out, something just came into the floor.

76
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 8: An object that look like i'd hit a player too.

77
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: Wait a second, I hadn't heard that. So when Tim

78
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: Cook shows up at the White House gives Donald Trump

79
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 3: a big chunk of gold, like a cheap looking trophy

80
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 3: or something like that in return for better terriffyrates, much

81
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 3: better terrorfrates.

82
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Yeah, it's a little troubling.

83
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: Then Trump had to throw in a you're a gay

84
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 3: dude kind of shot at the end.

85
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: Is that what that was? I don't necessarily I did.

86
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: It's funny. I didn't go there, but you're not necessarily wrong.

87
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: I guess we have a couple of clips of this.

88
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: Let's hear a little more.

89
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 8: US California and Fly come gone to the morning Law.

90
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: It's been great for the talk of one. They were

91
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: designed by us Maline or corporal.

92
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 9: A ball that works a whole, all which is done

93
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 9: well about the presenter and the base.

94
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: Comes from the Upaul and his twenty four carrot cold. Wow,

95
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: it's actually gold. The base expensive headphones. And that was

96
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: hard to understand, folks. I apologize, Yeah, yeah, I barely

97
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: could either.

98
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 3: But so that's Tim Cook giving him an actual twenty

99
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: four carrot gold chunk of we'll chunk of gold in

100
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 3: return for a break.

101
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: On the TIFFs. Is that what just happened there?

102
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 3: But then, so what Trump says is this next clipworth

103
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 3: paying because that one's really hard to understand.

104
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead. I want to thank Tim Cook.

105
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 7: He's a great, great man, a visionary, a businessman, just

106
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 7: about every quality he can have other than athleticism.

107
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm looking at him.

108
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 7: I'm not a hundred percent, but you're good athlete. I

109
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 7: bet you're pretty good. I think he's good at everything.

110
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 7: But I want to thank you very much.

111
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: Tim. Congratulations. I'm the CEO of the most valuable company

112
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: on earth. The hell doesn't matter, seriously what I can't

113
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: paint either, In case you're curious, I'm not a very

114
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: good painter. Oh boy, we live in weird times. Man.

115
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: Trump's a strange dude. That is. That is.

116
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 3: I learned about tariffs in the last six months from

117
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: listening to podcasts. I'd never thought about a tariff in

118
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 3: my entire life. But one of the knocks on tariffs

119
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 3: by conservatives historically is that it just it just begs

120
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 3: for corruption and special carve outs for people that get

121
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 3: favors for a variety of reasons.

122
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: It grows and enriches the swamp. In short, it's like

123
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: the best thing you could do for the swamp because

124
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: there's so much money at stake. Zillions of dollars have

125
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: flown into Washington, d C. To k straight to the lobbyists.

126
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 3: And really only the big guys can you know, bribe

127
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 3: their way to better tariff rates.

128
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: The mom and pop has no shot at that, right exactly,

129
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, getting their inputs for instance, that they get

130
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: from over the border exempted. Yeah, it's terrible. It's crony

131
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: capitalism at it's worst. That's one of the reasons I'm

132
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: against it. But it so discourages me that Trump doing

133
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: the crazy stuff gets in the way of doing the

134
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: good stuff.

135
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've got to isolate that the Grand Experiment has

136
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: begun for every time we talk about tariffs, because that

137
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: is true, the.

138
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 4: Grand Experiment has begun.

139
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 3: Grand How this all turns out?

140
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: I do not know, neither do you don't claim you quick.

141
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: Let's take a shot at a lefty. This is a

142
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: reporter asking Nancy Pelosi about gender affirming care number eighty. Michael,

143
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: how's your office responding to the pauses gender for me

144
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: here here in California?

145
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 10: Well, that is something I'm working for at the national level,

146
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 10: and we have, I said, are hoping that we can

147
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 10: have the gender for me.

148
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 2: Care.

149
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: For our trans kids.

150
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 3: Okay, she just didn't want to step in that story.

151
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 3: She's old as hell. She is old as hell. But

152
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: I think she realizes this is not a winner. This

153
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 3: is not a winner of a story. How do I

154
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 3: not anger the crazies while not also angering the vast

155
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 3: majority of people, including Democrats, who do not agree with

156
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 3: the crazies.

157
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: I have only a hint of it doing what we

158
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: do for a living, but the addictive quality of being

159
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: part of the national conversation slash in Nancy's case, the

160
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: power structure, very close to the center of the power

161
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: structure of the massive federal government. Obviously, people cannot give

162
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: that up. I'm a wealthy, seventy seven year old and

163
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm running for another term the Senator. Why. I don't know.

164
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: I think I get it.

165
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 3: I will I will really hate it when I no

166
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 3: longer feel like I have any role in the national conversation,

167
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: even though our role is pretty small as it is. Yeah,

168
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 3: I will not like it when I don't have a

169
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 3: voice for that.

170
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I know. We try to be your voice. Friends,

171
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: we actually do. Yeah, for some reason, you apologize for

172
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: my slightly jiv I'm putting you onto in a voice.

173
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: It was misplaced, it was inappropriate, it was disgusting, it

174
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: was regrettable.

175
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna do something serious here right before the commercials.

176
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 3: That's the best place to put the super serious stuff.

177
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: So you can take a break in cleanse the palette

178
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 3: before we come back. Maybe we'll talk about the Instagram

179
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 3: thing when you come back. But Fox is running on

180
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 3: like a loop. Practically. That horrible beatdown that happened in Cincinnati,

181
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: is that where it happened. Yeah, And I had seen

182
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 3: the woman get knocked out. I hadn't seen the dude

183
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: and the finally, I hadn't seen that.

184
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't watch this stuff.

185
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 3: I feel like I can fully understand the story without

186
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 3: but they're just running over and over again, and I

187
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 3: can't decide is this a good thing or a bad thing? Honestly,

188
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 3: is it a good thing to point out, hey, look,

189
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 3: this sort of thing happens when the races are reversed

190
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 3: and nobody covers it. Or is it a bad thing

191
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 3: that it's making me like, really feel like society is

192
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: completely breaking down. It's broken down. My kids are going

193
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 3: out into this world. Holy crap. How do I prepa?

194
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean, so you know, make me pa? Well, I would.

195
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: It's funny because those are not like two opposing choices.

196
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: I would. You could certainly consider the racial angle of

197
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: it in the media angle of it, that's legitimate. I've

198
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: talked about it before, but you could absolutely make the

199
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: case that, look, this is the sort of thing that

200
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: happens in blue cities when you turn known criminals loose

201
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: again and again, with the the unspoken agreement that we

202
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: will just keep turning you loose until you kill somebody

203
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: or you heard them really bad on camera.

204
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: Okay, there's that angle of it, which is definitely worth reporting.

205
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 3: And then there's just the racial angle of it that

206
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 3: just the who's doing the beaten and who is getting beaten?

207
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 3: The Has the mainstream news covered this at all? No,

208
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: not at all, Like.

209
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. I have not seen it once.

210
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: And look, I'm not omnipresent. I may have missed it,

211
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: But speaking for myself, wouldn't it be a foracious consumer

212
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: of the news if you were omnipresent, wouldn't that be cool?

213
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: For who for me? Hell, my wife and I love

214
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: each other. She doesn't want me omnipresent. That's true.

215
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 3: And you know, if I'm having some sort of private moment,

216
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 3: I don't need you there.

217
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: Sorry, that's it. It's my business partner. He's omnipresent.

218
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got you know. There's upstirs down to the

219
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: downside is he's omnipresent.

220
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: Can you excuse us for like sake? Can't No, he's

221
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: it omnipresent. No, I can't leave. I'm sorry. I'd like

222
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: to you. Oh my god, Instagram's new rules should we

223
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: be afraid?

224
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 3: Among other things on the way, if we got this

225
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: text on the text line my favorite place to get texts,

226
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 3: Let Jack bring back fry Ya. I understand some listeners

227
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 3: didn't like it, but it was the irony that gave

228
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 3: me joy every Friday. A subtle jab at those who

229
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 3: actually say that kind of nonsense and mean it. That's

230
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 3: the problem with me saying, hey, it's frye is that

231
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 3: if you took it seriously, I look like a dB.

232
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 3: It's kind of like my mocking the Genes commercial thing

233
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 3: I did on the Twitter feed in the Genes, which

234
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: I thought was obviously mockery, but people thought it was

235
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 3: a Some people thought it was a serious attempt to

236
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: look sexy, which is hilarious.

237
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: That's funny. I was just thinking the other day about

238
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: when a big national radio show at the time. They're

239
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: now defunct and unemployed, but they got a hold of

240
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: an audio of our show in which I think I

241
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: was mockingly portraying a particular attitude, and they took it seriously.

242
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: And we're like, these guys a ray whole bl blah

243
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: blah blah. No, you're missing the joke there, But anyway,

244
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: bring back Frye if you must. It's stupid and jiv

245
00:13:52,960 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: and childish and annoying, but ironically clever. With Instagram, let's

246
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: hear it.

247
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 5: The huge update to the Instagram app, the company unveiling

248
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 5: a new feature that lets you share your real time

249
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 5: location with friends on a map. You can see it

250
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 5: in the direct message part of the app when someone

251
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 5: slides into your DMS. Some critics of the move are

252
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 5: raising privacy concerns about tracking, but Instagram's parent company Meta

253
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 5: says that sharing your location is optional and that the

254
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 5: feature is off unless you opt in.

255
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 3: Well, okay, then it's fine. If it's optional. It's fine

256
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 3: if you want to share your location with friends. I

257
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 3: know people who do this, like I don't. I don't

258
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 3: have a social life, but back when I did, if

259
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 3: me and all my friends could have looked at our

260
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 3: phone and seen where everybody was in town at any

261
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 3: given time, that'd have been cool.

262
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: Especially my wife and I do it. My wife and

263
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: I do it. Our daughter shares her location with us

264
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: and a number of her friends for safety reasons. I

265
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: think it's perfectly reasonable.

266
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think of just the social stuff, like

267
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: you're out in front now, oh, look they're over They're

268
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 3: right across the street at that bar.

269
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: Let's walk over there. It'd be awesome. Yes, Katie, No,

270
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: it's definite. Joe's nailed it. It's a huge safety thing

271
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: as well among women.

272
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: That was an attempt to portray the feature is something nefarious.

273
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 3: The fact that you can opt in or out is

274
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 3: you know nothing to worry about.

275
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg is satan and spreading electro addiction to our children,

276
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: which will ruin their souls. But this one seems fine

277
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: to me.

278
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 3: So I'm not really on Instagram or Facebook. I use them,

279
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 3: but I'm not really on there. And I noticed on

280
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: the Facebook. When I'm on there, it feeds me people

281
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 3: I know sometimes and whenever I click on their account,

282
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 3: like ninety percent of the time, they haven't.

283
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: Posted in a decade.

284
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 3: It's so interesting to me that so many people have

285
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 3: just given up on Facebook.

286
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. Does it just not have the.

287
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 3: It's the younger generation thinks it's for old people, right,

288
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 3: But Instagram is all the young people are on Instagram right.

289
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: And Instagram is popular and also because offers the cross

290
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: platform posting as well, so you could put a picture

291
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: on Instagram and it'll pop up Facebook.

292
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: Uh. Our last Instagram post was December tenth of last year.

293
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: I would post weekly or if not daily, if I

294
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: knew how. But I don't know how. So you know what,

295
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: I think it's a list that you not know how. Well,

00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 6: The job was to watch Fox News. She was She

316
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 6: would watch Fox News and tell me what was going

317
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 6: on during the day. You know, when you're growing up,

318
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 6: you don't want your friends to meet your parents. Whore

319
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 6: always embarrassed about it. I brought friends over and they

320
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 6: loved her. And then there were times when I would

321
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 6: come home and my friends would already be there. Yes,

322
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 6: they'd be in the back in the backyard with my mom.

323
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: I had that too. Yeah, my friends loved my parents, yes.

324
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 6: And so they dumped me for my mom. She was

325
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 6: a supporter of everything I did, which is like your

326
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 6: mom and that's like it's a big deal.

327
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 5: You know.

328
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: Cool.

329
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 3: Greg Guttfelder's had a very popular late night show. I'm

330
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 3: Jimmy Fallon last night. It was fun to see those

331
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 3: two coming together. I get the idea they're both pretty

332
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 3: decent guys. God felt as mean as hell. No is

333
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 3: it challenge doesn't seem to be but funny. So a

334
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 3: couple of things.

335
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: Oh that's one. I had one that flitted out of

336
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: my mind. Oh that's right, Michael, play us clip number eleven.

337
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: Would you This is rotund country sensation Jelly Roll talking

338
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: to the Tennessee Titans before their road trip today.

339
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 9: I want to talk to you all about road life. Buses, planes, trains, automobiles, walking,

340
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 9: you name it.

341
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: We've done it.

342
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 9: We've slept in vans. And I learned early that's where

343
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 9: the magic was. See what was happening on that road

344
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 9: between me and the boys started translating to the stage,

345
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 9: finding a partner, finding a friend, building relationship.

346
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: That stuff with transfer to the field. That's something else

347
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: I learned.

348
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 9: I started becoming a better songwriter when I started becoming

349
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 9: a better husband. I started becoming a better performer, when

350
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 9: I started becoming a better human. Think about them relationships

351
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 9: outside of here.

352
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: Man, that's good stuff, And take off your damn headphones.

353
00:18:59,359 --> 00:18:59,479
Speaker 5: Uh.

354
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: I wonder if that was the subtext. You're not going

355
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: to be able to do that talk to each other,

356
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: you know what that As a musician, the first part

357
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: was absolutely rings true, one hundred percent. Yeah. Yeah, I'm

358
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: just talking to connection you have with people you're close with.

359
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 3: I've talked to my sons about that, particularly, my oldest

360
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 3: will start working here pretty soon. About you work at

361
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 3: some place where there's a whole bunch of other people

362
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 3: your age and everything like that, you have the best

363
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 3: freaking time, even if the job sucks. You get to

364
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 3: know them and you become friends and you hang out

365
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 3: afterwards and stuff.

366
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: It's awesome. Yeah. Yeah, don't close yourself off to that. Kids.

367
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, unless they unless they'll all get whatever job. But

368
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 3: he's going to get and they all have EarPods in

369
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 3: and they never talk to each other. Like I keep

370
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 3: talking about going to the gym. I've been going to

371
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 3: the gym. I go every single day for months now.

372
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 3: I've never said to word to anybody. Nobody said a

373
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 3: word to me. Everybody has an earbut in Yeah.

374
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: We got an email after you said that, and somebody said,

375
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: and I do the same thing too. Now anyway, but

376
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: they said, yeah, I don't, and there are other guys

377
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: who don't. We're friends. Now I may try that once

378
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: or twice. Yeah, huh interesting. Oh, part of the reason

379
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to hear that, and that was a much

380
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: more impressive and an insightful clip than I expected. Oh no,

381
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: then you don't know him. His act is.

382
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 3: Everybody loves his motivational stuff, just love it about his

383
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 3: experience of being in jail and the various things he's

384
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 3: overcoming his life.

385
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: He's like hugely popular for that. Yeah, I thought it

386
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: would be more of a rah rah thing, But I'm impressed.

387
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: That's great stuff and I'm inspired to go look into

388
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: more of it. Part of the reason I was attracted

389
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: to that he was talking to a professional the NFL team,

390
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, is weasel Communist Jackass. David Muir's newscast

391
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: last night.

392
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 3: Weesel Communist Jackass did.

393
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: End with a little featurette about to make a wish

394
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: kid who dreamed of being the quarterback for his beloved

395
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers and the day they had And I'm getting

396
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: choked up even talking about it and the way the Panthers,

397
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: God bless him, rolled out the red carpet and did

398
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: it right, and Custom did him a helmet, and he

399
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: actually ran a play during their big in front of

400
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: the stadium fans under the lights inner squad scrimmage, the

401
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: big scrimmage before the preseason begins. And it was beautiful, cool,

402
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: it was beautiful. Yeah, yeah, needs to be more of that,

403
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: not less. Anyway, moving along to suit.

404
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 3: How touching that story was? You still call the host

405
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 3: of the show a weasel communist jackass.

406
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: Okay, oh yeah, I stand by those words. Yes. Indeed,

407
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: if he was a twelve year old boy, I would not.

408
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: He's a grown ass man to quit being such a

409
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: c WJ. So I thought I would mention that. Do

410
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: I even want to mention this? I don't know. It's

411
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: kind of negative ish. Rather, I'd rather build Jack build

412
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 1: and tear down man's triumphs, not his failures exactly. All right,

413
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: here's a story for you, and it's from the Miami

414
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: New Times, as in Miami, Florida, where you were just

415
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: vacationing recently till it was so freaking hot in summertime

416
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: you fled for your life. But it went viral. This

417
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: visitor who showed up to the Lakita in there at

418
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: Miami and checked in, and there wasn't a plucky youngster

419
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: or surly old ster half asleep near to well behind

420
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: the counter. There was a kiosk with some third world

421
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: or on the video screen to check them in. Wow,

422
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: and a credit card slot and wow is that the future?

423
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 3: So it makes me so angry when I try to

424
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 3: call a hotel and you can't get the actual place

425
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 3: you're going to. You can just get their one eight

426
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 3: hundred number and talk to somebody, you know, and wherever.

427
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: It drives me nut.

428
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 3: No, I want to talk to somebody there, like actually

429
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 3: there at the hotel and ask them, uh is does

430
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 3: the pool work?

431
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: And what time does it close?

432
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 3: Or whatever my question is. So now we're gonna take

433
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: it the next step. There'll be one really busy person

434
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 3: in the Caribbean checking people into superheats all across.

435
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: The country, right right. A couple of good points. First

436
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: of all, the laziest sort of journalism repeating a single

437
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: online comment. Damn, that's wild, got to keep it local,

438
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: fam One user wrote, good, that's beyond ridiculous, wrote another.

439
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: But then this point, this is a pretty good one.

440
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: The reason for a desk is like having a doorman

441
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: apartment building. It's security. I wouldn't feel safe in a

442
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: hotel with staff this lean. There's no authority. It's like

443
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: a bus stop. Never mind authority. There isn't even an observer.

444
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: I guarantee, there'd just be lots of cameras and I'll

445
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: just keep an eye on you that way, being watched

446
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,239
Speaker 1: by whom I don't know.

447
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 3: If something happens, then they'll go back to the camera.

448
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 3: But it's not going to help you in the moment.

449
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: So, speaking of labor issues, I thought this was interesting,

450
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: and we'd talked about this a couple of times, the

451
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: fact that the United Auto Workers Union is now mostly

452
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: not auto workers at all. In fact, the biggest fastest

453
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: growing group is academics, a hodgepodge of white, colored defense attorneys, librarians,

454
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: and roughly one hundred thousand people who work in higher education.

455
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 3: I remember we talked about this when the autoworker strike

456
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 3: was going on, and it was news to me, but

457
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 3: I don't remember. How how do you end up part

458
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: of the Auto Workers Union as a librarian?

459
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: You just a desperation. Well, the UAW is desperate to

460
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: organize any group. But so if they needed people in

461
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: their dues.

462
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: But so if I agree with their politics and pay

463
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 3: their dues, I can be a member of the Auto

464
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 3: Workers Union.

465
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, essentially. I mean, if you've got like a dozen

466
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 1: cucumber picklers working in eastern Washington with a labor gripe,

467
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: and Sean mcpain is that his name, Sean Fayin, If

468
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: he gets a word of it, he's going to say, hey,

469
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: you auta organize and come under the UAW umbrella as

470
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 1: a you know, cucumber pickler. And it worked for a

471
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: while because they're desperate for people that the smallest percentage

472
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: of Americans are in unions. That has been true in

473
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: a century or whatever it is. But but now there

474
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: is a growing chasm between the union's traditional auto workers,

475
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: who are any of you know, any auto workers or

476
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: people who might as well be auto workers. They are

477
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: moving quickly toward the political right. They are generally speaking,

478
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: patriotic Americans. They're realists, they value family, they like to

479
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: have a couple of beers on the weekend, they go

480
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: to hockey games. You know, you get the idea. But

481
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: the union is being taken over by a bunch of

482
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: woke twenty something academics and pushing the union hard to

483
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: the left. In fact, recent advocacy by the UAW includes

484
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: campaign ads supporting Mamdani the Kami in New York, advocating

485
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: for the release of pro Palestinian activist macmoodkahlil Uh, and

486
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: calling for a ceasefire and an end to the siege

487
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: of Gaza. And the actual UAWUAW guys are like, what

488
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: the hell is this? What are you doing in my name?

489
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. I'd say, yeah,

490
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: that's an unholy and unnatural marriage. And then finally, this

491
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: really and particularly and this is kind of a criticism

492
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: of Trump, I guess, but it's funny. There are some

493
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: topics that I think Trump doesn't care about, like constitutional

494
00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: limits or the institutions or traditions because he just doesn't care.

495
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: There are other times, there are other areas that I think,

496
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, he gets it, but he's going to get elected,

497
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: because you got to get elected first, and he'll figure

498
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: out how to hash it out once he gets in office.

499
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: To wit, the no tax on overtime policy, which combined

500
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: with the no tax on tips policy, is extremely complicated.

501
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: It has added layers upon layers to the already bizarre

502
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: tax code when we ought to be going in the

503
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 1: other direction, but he felt like he had to win

504
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: the election, so he promised no tax on overtime, but

505
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: the laws full of fine print and potential confusion over

506
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: who's eligible for the new savings. Under the law, the

507
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 1: only overtime compensation that qualifies is the extra wages the

508
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: half of time and a half, for instance, required under

509
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. That definition excludes overtime

510
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: paid to airline employees, railroad workers, and other transportation workers

511
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: covered by separate overtime laws. It does not include some

512
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: payments under agreements outside the FULSA law or workers specifically

513
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: exempted from FULSA, and it excludes payments required under state

514
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: laws like California's where overtime starts after eight hours daily

515
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: instead of forty hours weekly. The upshot the break will

516
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: cut taxes by thousands of dollars from many overtime workers,

517
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: but some might not necessarily get the tax break, and

518
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: figuring out who qualifies will be tricky and expensive because

519
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: you probably have to hire an accountant to figure it out,

520
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: or a tax attorney.

521
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 3: Which you might do if you're a person that regularly

522
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 3: gets overtime but on tips.

523
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: Probably not.

524
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 3: You're probably not a person that's hiring someone to do

525
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 3: your taxes, right, it probably doing ten to forty easy.

526
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: And now you've got to get an accountant to deal

527
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 3: with your how do I get my the whole tips thing?

528
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: Well? And not to be labor the point, but want

529
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: thirty more seconds on this. The overtime paid deduction is

530
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: capped at twelve thy five hundred for individuals and for

531
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand for mary cup. That could lower some

532
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: households tax bills by six thousand dollars. And it's available

533
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: whether or not tax players itemize deductions. The break starts

534
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: shrinking on income once income reaches one hundred and fifty

535
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for individual blah blah blah. And because it

536
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: is an income tax deduction, workers still ow payroll taxes

537
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: for Social Security and Medicare on overtime pay I freaking

538
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: corumba flat tax now or the fair tax one or

539
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: the other. Either way, just get it done. No more

540
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: complexity to the tax code.

541
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 3: We will finish strong next. Oh my gosh, I just

542
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 3: saw something that is shocking. It turns out that in

543
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 3: a lot of companies that have decided to have return

544
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 3: to work policies after COVID, some employees just show up

545
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 3: long enough to be seen and then leave. And is

546
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,479
Speaker 3: shocking to find out. I would have never guessed that

547
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 3: that would occur. About to play a clip, let me

548
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 3: set the scene for you. There's a patient in a

549
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 3: doctor's office sitting on the butcher's block paper and a

550
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 3: doctor talking to that an unfortunate metaphor, right, and then

551
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 3: the doctor talking to the person sitting there.

552
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: So, how much do you drink? I see, I'm good

553
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: for about ten or twelve, Okay, ten or twelve a week.

554
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: That's not bad, but a week, But you drink ten

555
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: or twelve beers a day? You counting beers too, So

556
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty funny.

557
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 3: He starts counting his drinks with his fingers, like one, two.

558
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: He said, I'd be faster to do this. They need

559
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: to buy five's five.

560
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 3: Test Anyway, on the heels of me talking yesterday about

561
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 3: how I haven't had a drink in nineteen years and

562
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:02,479
Speaker 3: one day, Joe Rogan announced the other day on his

563
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 3: show that he'd quit drinking, and he hasn't had a

564
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 3: drink in two months, and he says he's not an alcoholic,

565
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 3: but he just decided.

566
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: What good is this doing me?

567
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 3: He just said, it's stupid to continue doing this. I

568
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 3: feel horrible afterwards. It costs a lot of money. I

569
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: stay up later than I want to. I just decided

570
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 3: this is stupid, so I'm not going to do it

571
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 3: anymore ever. Again, he said, I don't know if you'll

572
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 3: stick with it or not, but I thought that was interesting.

573
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,239
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, well I get it. I get even if

574
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: you're not quote unquote an alcoholic, it can become a habit.

575
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 3: And just the general there's I don't know if the

576
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 3: amount of booze consumption has has gone down or not.

577
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 3: I haven't seen the numbers on that, but it has definitely.

578
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 3: Has it gone down since the pan Is it just

579
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 3: since the pandemic or is it lower than it was

580
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 3: pre pandemic? Because I think weren't most people who drink

581
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 3: drinking more during the pandemic.

582
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: I had heard that. Yeah, but the younger generations are

583
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: drinking significantly less.

584
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 3: Are they smoking or pot though, or taking ventanyl or

585
00:31:58,840 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 3: whatever they're doing?

586
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: Oh maybe, I don't know. We're definitely smoking more pot

587
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: than previous generations. Why is that it's available?

588
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 3: No, no, no, why are they drinking with I don't know.

589
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: That's an excellent question. Uh, and we don't have nearly

590
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: the time to even scratch the surface. Yeah, I know

591
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: if anybody knows. Hey, kids, it's that time again with

592
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty. I thought that was funny. Though. Oh

593
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: we're counting beers too. So it's uh commonly thought by

594
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: some of my favorite thinkers that part of it is

595
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: the younger generations have desperate need not to lose any control.

596
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: No is that good? Maybe have not lived adventurous lives

597
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: and they're afraid I'll be darned.

598
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 3: Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

599
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew,

600
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: beginning with our technical director Michael hit It. Michael.

601
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 8: My favorite clip of the day was Trump pointing out

602
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 8: to Tim Cook, very smart guy, but he's not athletic.

603
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 8: I just I like the trend of you invite the

604
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 8: Ford CEO and say he's very smart, but not good

605
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 8: at sit ups and probably could floss more.

606
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: It's good. Wow, brown teeth. Katie Green has a final thought. Katie.

607
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: My favorite clip of the day was the Grand experiment.

608
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna start talking like that, right, you

609
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: gotta roll your arms. Though the Grand.

610
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 4: Speediment has begun.

611
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 3: Jack a final thought for us, I would say, though

612
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 3: I prefer people who drink or did drink, people that

613
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 3: have never drank.

614
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: I still don't quite get on with very often. How

615
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: interesting man. My final thought earlier in the show, I

616
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: did a big thing on the Scopes monkey trial. Grab

617
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: it via podcast. If you want one thing we didn't

618
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: have time to get to is that the eugenics that

619
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: the progressives of the time in the nineteen twenties were

620
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: so into directly influenced the Nazis in Germany, and in fact,

621
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: some of the US progressive leaders got awards from the

622
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: Nazi universities. Before the war proper began.

623
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,240
