1
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty arm Strong and

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: Jetty and now he Armstrong and Yetty. I'm talking a

4
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: lot lately about how if you blow your credibility, it

5
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: takes a very very long time to build it back up,

6
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: if if you ever can. And like the CDC blew

7
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: all their credibility during COVID and so nowbody nobody believes them.

8
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: I have blown all my credibility on knowledge of big

9
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: cities in Brazil, and I don't know if I'll ever

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 1: be able to build my credibility back up again, as

11
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: I have been in my mind confusing Rio and St.

12
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: San Paulo clearly, which is sopolo.

13
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: Well, you're talking about credibility, and you're calling New York

14
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: New Mork, so credibility I got.

15
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: I got no credibility, and I don't ever plan to

16
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: have any credibility on the big cities of Brazil. So well,

17
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: I well, low bar, yes, low bar. Yes, this is

18
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: not my wheelhouse and I don't intend to ever be.

19
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: But the big giant statue is in Rio, yes, and

20
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: that's where Taylor Swift played, So I don't know anything

21
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: about the crime situation in saw Poulo, sal Polo, Sao.

22
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: Americans say, Sao, okay, but that's where the football game

23
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: is tonight, Chiefs Chargers, and it's well, they're both very,

24
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: very large cities, and they're probably similar crime wise, I

25
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: would guess.

26
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: Oh probably, yeah, roughly, Uh yeah, But did we ever

27
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 2: come up with a population for sal Polo? I remember

28
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: being shocked that it's one of the biggest cities on Earth, Sao.

29
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: And what's the population of sal Polo, Brazil? You know who?

30
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: I asked? Who do you ask? If you ask want

31
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: to know anything, you ask chat GPT and the answer is, uh,

32
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: twelve million people. That's big city, a very big city.

33
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: Damn big city, plus the beautiful suburbs. Oh no, but

34
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: they're doing the whole city limits thing. They should only

35
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: ever give your entire urban area or whatever you call it.

36
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: We metro area, metro area, we call it market size

37
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: and radio because that's what matters. What's within the city

38
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: limits makes no difference whatsoever. The metro area is twenty

39
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: two million.

40
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: Right, whoa mind boggling Yeah.

41
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: So this is funny.

42
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: A number of times through years we've been talking about polling,

43
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: and people say I've never been pulled. I have been

44
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 2: several times, mostly because if they ask, I say yes.

45
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: To the significant polling organizations, and the good folks at

46
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: Emerson University Polling have reached out to me and I

47
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: just clicked that yes, I would answer their poll. They

48
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: do it via text these days because it's practically impossible

49
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: to get somebody to pick up phone call.

50
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: And I'm stuck on the first question, like you can't answer.

51
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: It, I don't know how to answer it, and I

52
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: need help. I need counsel. Question number one, would you

53
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: say things in the United States today are generally headed

54
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 2: in the right direction or the wrong track?

55
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. I've always wondered about that.

56
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: Some are like super great, some are ultra disasters.

57
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: And where do you so anytime you go wrong track?

58
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: Right track with anything, whether it's your marriage, your weight,

59
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: your kids, you got what's my starting point? Is my

60
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: starting point? From birth? Is my starting point from you know,

61
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: when I'd say, compared to November of last year, right direction,

62
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: but overall, starting in January fourth, seventeen seventy six, I

63
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: think wrong.

64
00:03:53,400 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: Direction sociologically, people's happiness, education, well I economically.

65
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: What's my favorite saying, name one thing that's getting better?

66
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: I always say I can't think of anything. So I'm

67
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: a wrong direction, but probably for different reasons than a

68
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: lot of people would answer, which Trump of course, everything

69
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: to go in the wrong direction, everybody. That's the thing

70
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to be.

71
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: I don't want my check mark to be interpreted in

72
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: that way.

73
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 1: I'm agonizing over this. I'm uh, I'm a wrong direction.

74
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: I you know, maybe I'm a pessimist, but how would

75
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: you claim the United States is not going in the

76
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: wrong direction as opposed to the right direction.

77
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: Honestly, thank you for asking, doctor. It all goes back

78
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: to my childhood. Oh it's because I am.

79
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: I am so.

80
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 2: Adamant, dedicated, serious about the whole woke mind virus, decay

81
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 2: of American education, Haitian thing, the idea of indoctrinating our

82
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: young people to despise their own country. I am so

83
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: completely consumed by that fight, and it's starting to go

84
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: in the right direction, thanks in large due in large

85
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: part to uh Donald J who has been able to

86
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: implement what a lot of us have been yelling about

87
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: for a long time. So I'm very encouraged on that front,

88
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 2: although to quote Churchill, for the millions of time, it's

89
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: not the beginning of the end.

90
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: It might be the end of the beginning. But you know,

91
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: and that's perfectly reasonable to look at it that way.

92
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: But if I wanted to make the argument wrong direction

93
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: on national debt h and neither party even pretends to

94
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: care anymore, Nope, you win. Wrong track. I mean, now

95
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: he's going to add a couple more to that, but

96
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: I think I could just stop there.

97
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 2: Yeah you had me at debt? Yeah, wow, Okay, Well,

98
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: I'll plunge on. If anything else interesting comes up, I

99
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: will let you know.

100
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: But first, hey, we're probably worth pointing out that the

101
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: average person who answers polls does not put one one

102
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: thousandth of that much thought into their answer. They're lazy bastards.

103
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: Wrong track, got it all right, Let's take a fun

104
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: look back at the week that was.

105
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: It's cow clips of the Week and now clips of

106
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: the week. Chicago is a hellhole right now, the White

107
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: House sticking to its plans after a violent labor d

108
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: eight weekend in Chicago where eight people were killed.

109
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: I refuse to play a reality game show with Donald

110
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 3: Trump again.

111
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: No federal troops in the city of Chicago.

112
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 2: A new world order is forming the beaches of China, India,

113
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: and Russia tonight hand in hand.

114
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: A defiant show of force. China flexing its military might

115
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: with its largest ever parade and four legged robot wolves

116
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: designed to locate mines and hunt down soldiers. Human organs

117
00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: can be continuously transplant.

118
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 3: The longer you live, the younger you become, and can

119
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 3: even achieve immor talent. You accept the fact that a

120
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 3: million Americans died from COVID. I don't know how many died, Senator,

121
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: You've said in that chair for how long, twenty twenty

122
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 3: five years, while the chronic disease and our children went

123
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 3: up to seventy six percent, and you said nothing.

124
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: All we know is open to the residence upstairs, and

125
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: somebody has thrown a big bag out of the window.

126
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 4: Have you seen this.

127
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 5: If something happens, it's really bad, maybe I'll have to

128
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 5: just blame AI.

129
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: We all know that it was his administration throw it

130
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: a bag full of the Epstein files out of the

131
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: window at the orders of the Pope and the Jews, right.

132
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: But it's really a Democrat hoax for him to say

133
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: what he's saying is beyond me. We will confidentially compile

134
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: the names we all know who are right in the

135
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: Epstein world. Tonight's speculation mounting over whether Taylor Swift will

136
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: perform at the Super Bowl, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell saying

137
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: maybe his name is Zorn Mandanien. Counting all the way

138
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: to Amenian would literally take days. Oh my god, looks

139
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: says you quite male covered in mud and underwear. Was

140
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: Osborne who just died or he was all over the

141
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: TV for hundreds of years with his idiocy in nonsense,

142
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: He just wanted to sniff my feet, and I didn't

143
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with that costable. I don't want to.

144
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: Be seen as being critical of victims of sexual abuse exactly.

145
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: But that press conference by the gals on the Capitol

146
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: steps talking about the Epstein deal had a couple of

147
00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: very like uncomfortable minutes, moments like that one that we

148
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: are we will at some point in the future. I

149
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: guess compile confidentially a list. Okay, because people are talking

150
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 2: about a list of the abusers of people who were

151
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: regular in the Epstein world. What does that even mean?

152
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy knew everybody well and why are

153
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 2: you holding it back if you have, well, right, that's

154
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: another one. And and if it is a guy like

155
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: you know, Alan Dershowitz or something, hi, he says, yeah, yeah,

156
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: I was part of that social circle. I had no

157
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: idea he was sex and up young girls. And the

158
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: minute I found out, I disassociated myself from him.

159
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: So what do you mean a list of people who

160
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: are regulars in that world? We're not.

161
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: We're talking about victimizers of child sex. It's just exhausting.

162
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: And then the beginning there, that stuff with China and

163
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: Russia meeting earlier this week. If you combine our national

164
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: debt with the changing world order, man, I don't want

165
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: to be, you know, a pessimist. I mean those those

166
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: are two Well, I don't know, I'm I am Debbie Downer.

167
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: I'll shut up now. Nobody wants a realist. Nobody wants.

168
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: But you don't have to be a realist on a Friday.

169
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: You can be a realist the other days of the week.

170
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: You don't have to face all the biggest problems in

171
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: your life on the weekend.

172
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: Always, right, when do you start being a realist again,

173
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 2: like Sunday evening?

174
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, we all do after dinner. What's that called

175
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: the Sunday scariest Sunday scaries?

176
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: Well, it's called that by people who say that sort

177
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: of thing. I would never let those words pass my

178
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: lips other than to mock them, But that is a feeling.

179
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: I remember saying that to my dad when I was young. God,

180
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: when Sunday night comes, I just look at the week

181
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 2: and then he said, I've been doing that.

182
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: My whole life. I am, It's just part of the deal. Man.

183
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: Jerry Seinfeld's bit about the weekend is so dang true

184
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: and always has been. Friday, you get off work, and

185
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: it seems the weekend seems like it's a year long.

186
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: It seems like summer vacation when you're a kid, and

187
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: even on Saturday you feel like you got so much

188
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: time to do whatever you want. Then Sunday it lands,

189
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: and where did it all go? Here the clock a ticket,

190
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: here the clock ticket. I didn't get done half the

191
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: things I wanted to do, fun or productive. Every weekend your.

192
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 2: Whole get the weekend, Willies, Right, it's the day off depression.

193
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: Uh, never mind, we'll just play music the rest of

194
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: the hour. I don't think we should talk about anything.

195
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: We're only going to do harm. We gotta have a

196
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: hipocratic oath on the show. First, do no harm. And

197
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: if we feel like we're going to talk about things

198
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: that make people unhappy, we'll play music.

199
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: Got this email from Cascade. Johnny calls himself. Just read

200
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: your national news link about the rabies increase in wild animals.

201
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: Now picture the chi coms infect the robot wolves with rabies.

202
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 2: Oh boy, rabid Chinese robot wolves.

203
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: Man, if you didn't see those Chinese robots, that's wrong

204
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: track for sure. Okay, we got more on the ways.

205
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: Here's one of your reality checks that we like to

206
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: do here on The Armstrong Ngetty Show. The world has

207
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: seen through mainstream media versus reality the news. You take

208
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: in an RFK Junior, you would assume he's got an

209
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: approval rating of about one percent. Oh, it's forty five.

210
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: According to the latest poll that came out yesterday, RFK

211
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: Junior as a forty five percent approval rating. Now he's

212
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: fifty five percent disapproved. But forty five percent is not

213
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: horrible these days. No, no, these days, you probably it's

214
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: about high as you're gonna get in any administration. So

215
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: you watched the media, you would think nobody likes him,

216
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: So power balls up to one point seven billion dollars,

217
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: Thank you some, and there is a drawing tomorrow night.

218
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: And I have long been fascinated by the psychology around

219
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: the whole thing. We've talked about it a whole bunch

220
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: of times. How if it's at four hundred million, you

221
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: don't buy a ticket, but it gets to one point

222
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: seven billion dollars and you do buy a ticket. I mean,

223
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: obviously that makes no that's correct, logical sense whatsoever. But

224
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: lots of says you, I.

225
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: Got to rush out and get a couple of tickets

226
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 2: that'll double my chances.

227
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's interesting how that happens. And then there's

228
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: also the phenomenon of stores that us Today. Day's got

229
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: a big article about it today. Stores that have sold

230
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: winning lottery tickets in the past have lines around the block. Again,

231
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: makes no sense at all, whatsoever.

232
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, the first one is kind of a semi understandable

233
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: odd cork of human behavior. The second one is just stupid. Oh,

234
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: they've sold two winning tickets in the last twenty years.

235
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to that store.

236
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: You're right, I could see me buying a lottery ticket

237
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: today and I never buy lottery tickets from some weird

238
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: It's got to be an evolutionary thing, some weird I'm

239
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: missing out on an asset thing that gets you. But

240
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm not going to figure out.

241
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: There's just more awareness of it, so you think of

242
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: it more. So you think of what the all I

243
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: might as well.

244
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: If I do, I'll just buy it at whatever place

245
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: is handy on the way home. Noth someplace that sold

246
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: a winning the lottery ticket once.

247
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 2: That people who do that should not be allowed to vote.

248
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: No offense if that's you.

249
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: According to according to a Cambridge University study, players tend

250
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: to choose numbers that have a personal connection, like birthdays

251
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: of them and their kids. Very good. Yeah, I mean

252
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: you got to choose something. It doesn't make any difference

253
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: whether you base it on your birthdays or favorite NFL

254
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: players numbers or whatever. I mean, you're guessing no matter what.

255
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: So frequent players avoid winning numbers from recent draws, whereas

256
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: infrequent players choose the birthdays and everything like that. So

257
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: if you've played numbers before and didn't win, you stay

258
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: away from home numbers. Okay, again, that makes no sense.

259
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: I don't think you understand probability combinations.

260
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: For numbers, according to the study, are regularly formed with

261
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: an eye for esthetics, and players tend to spread their

262
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: numbers relatively evenly across the possible range. She'd have like

263
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: a single double, single double or something like that, just

264
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: because it looks more even.

265
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, if it's a random collection of numbers from

266
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: one to whatever it is, fifty, say, yeah, I've done

267
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: that because I used to play once in a while.

268
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, I would tend to like distribute them fairly.

269
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have one and two, even though those two

270
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: numbers are as likely to be chosen as any other two.

271
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: Uh sure, Yeah, that's like it's kind of like the

272
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: whole If you flip a coin a million times and

273
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: it's had a million times in a row, what's the

274
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: chance of it being heads or tails on the one

275
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: million to one time, it's still fifty to fifty, fifty

276
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: to fifty. So it's kind of like that. It never

277
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: points out in any of these articles. I'm not exactly

278
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: sure why that. I think it's true that most people

279
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: their lives get worse when they win these big giant

280
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: pots of money.

281
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: Do you think that's true or is it notability bias?

282
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 2: One of my favorite biases in the news media. God,

283
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: it's much more interesting when it goes wrong.

284
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: So hard for me to imagine most people winning a

285
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: billion dollars and not having it ruin their lives, where

286
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: you end up estranged from your kids or your your

287
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: siblings or your friends, whatever. It's just hard to imagine

288
00:16:58,640 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: that not happening.

289
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: Just give him each a million bucks and tell him

290
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: to go to hell, and then that's save the relationship.

291
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: Wait a million, he gave me a million. You want

292
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: a billion dollars and you give me a million? Thanks

293
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: a old flip your books of both what what would

294
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: you do? Text line four one KFTZ Armstrong and getty.

295
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: Joe claims it's a pressuredicial term. Joe claims he has

296
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: some interesting breaking news. Uh.

297
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, indeed, they had a big immigration raid on a

298
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 2: Hyundai plant in Georgia.

299
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: And uh and uh, let's see what's the official number.

300
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 2: Nearly five hundred people were arrested at this Hyundai motor

301
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 2: battery plant under construction.

302
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: Oh, it's under construction in Georgia.

303
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: It's part of a criminal investigation into employment practices at

304
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 2: the site. More than three hundred of the arrested were

305
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: South Korean nationals. According to an official from Thery, those

306
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 2: arrested it illegally across the border, entered through a visa

307
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 2: waiver program that prohibited them from working or had overstayed

308
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 2: their visas. And evidently the South Koreans are a little

309
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 2: bit unhappy about this or concerned or something.

310
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: But they were here illegally. Uh yeah, yeah.

311
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: But what's interesting and slightly uncomfortable is that the carmaker

312
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 2: had pledged twenty six billion dollars in US investments in

313
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: recent weeks at the behest of the Trump administration.

314
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: Well wait, Hyundai's a South Korean car right, oh, okay? In company? Interesting,

315
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: So what kind of deal was being made there? Well, see,

316
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 1: that's the thing.

317
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 2: They obviously brought in a bunch of their own people.

318
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: To get the work done.

319
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 2: What was the I read a really interesting piece about Oh,

320
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 2: I can't remember if it was South Koreans. I think

321
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: it was a South Korean company that had pledged a

322
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: huge investment in the United States, in the Phoenix area,

323
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 2: I want to say, say, and they ran into enormous

324
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: cultural problems with trying to manage the construction and running

325
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 2: of the facility because of the difference in norms between

326
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 2: South Korea and workers and how they approach work and

327
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 2: rest and their rights and their time off and the

328
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 2: rest of it. And it was breaking down because they

329
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: would bring in South Korean managers who could not relate

330
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 2: it all to the American workers and couldn't find out why.

331
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 2: They couldn't figure out why they weren't working like South Koreans.

332
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: But this happens occasionally, and I've always wondered how exactly

333
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: it comes together. So where a specific nationality ends up

334
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: in large numbers with some new business or some business

335
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: a particular part of the country, and they must be

336
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: working out something at the top level of the business,

337
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 1: and is it I'll use this example. When I was

338
00:19:53,160 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: young in Western Kansas, a what was the business that

339
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: opened up, I don't remember what it was, rendering plants

340
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: something like it. Some unpleasant manual labor work opened up

341
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,239
Speaker 1: in this tiny little town in western Kansas, and it

342
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: was all Vietnamese workers. Now, this is a part of

343
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: the country where there were lots of illegal Mexicans, but

344
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, for this plan, it was all

345
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: people from Vietnam. So it had to be they had

346
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: to work out something right that the business must have

347
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: worked out something with Vietnam or I don't know how

348
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: house that would happen. And I've seen this happen. Clearly

349
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: something is going on, right, And I've seen this happen

350
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: with like Russians or in this case here is South

351
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: Koreans or whatever. So some deal is made and part

352
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: of it might be well, we need to have people

353
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: of one language is our only shot at making this work.

354
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: So we can have managers who speak Vietnamese, not Vietnamese,

355
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: and Spanish and Russian and you know whatever else right,

356
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: just randomly, and.

357
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 2: In this case, I could picture I'm saying, and we're

358
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: going to bring in the people who built our last

359
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 2: three plants because they know what they're doing. That's if

360
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 2: you can do it in half the time and half

361
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 2: the expense. If we do that, here's an interesting nugget.

362
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 2: The raid and arrests come after months of tense negotiations

363
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: between the US and South Korea over tariffs and investments.

364
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: Wow, and this is the hiring end of illegal immigration

365
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: that we've always been soft on, and the Republican Party

366
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: doesn't want to deal with this. You could snuff out

367
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: illegals working in hotels and restaurants all got really easy

368
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: if you went after the businesses, but there's never been

369
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: much political will do that. Yeah, I wonder, and I'm

370
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 1: just wondering.

371
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 2: I don't have any specific information, it's just circumstantial, but

372
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 2: I wonder if there was a wink and a nod

373
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 2: from the Trump administration about building this giant new investment

374
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 2: in Georgia, but then when the tariff negotiations got a little.

375
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: Ugly, forget it.

376
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 2: Then there's a little hardball being played, no push back pitch.

377
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's good foreign policy or economic policy,

378
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 2: but it could be what was happening.

379
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: Speaking of Russians. So I mentioned part of this earlier.

380
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: European countries got together yesterday. Macrome came out of the

381
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: meeting and said, there are twenty six European countries that

382
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: have pledged troops boots on the ground for Ukraine, as

383
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, a trigger mechanism. Basically, it's a and Putin

384
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: came out and said, any European troops, any NATO troops

385
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: in Ukraine, I will consider legitimate targets. That's some pretty

386
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: hardball right there. I mean, I don't know where this

387
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: is going to go, because either you back down to

388
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: that or you don't, and then then and you're hoping

389
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: assuming that he'll back down. No way, He's going to

390
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: fire on French and British troops and start a war

391
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: with NATO. But I mean, that's I don't know why

392
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: this hasn't gotten more news in the last twenty four hours.

393
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: It seems like a big deal to me. Yeah, I

394
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: would agree.

395
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 2: I don't think if he says, yeah, well, then I'll

396
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: shoot at you and you say okay, never mind.

397
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: Uh.

398
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: That is ah, that is a gesture that will be

399
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 2: heard throughout history.

400
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: It will echo through history. Also, Putin said he's willing

401
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: to meet with Zelensky one on one, but only in Moscow,

402
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: to which Zelensky said, what are you kidding? And I

403
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: didn't like the way Peter Doosey put it on Fox

404
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: last night, He said, Zelensky. Now the hold up to

405
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: having a meeting between Putin and Zelensky as he says

406
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: he will not meet in Moscow, Well, of course he's

407
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: not going to. The guy has spent every day of

408
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: the last three years, actually longer than that, trying to

409
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: kill him on is he gonna show up in Moscow?

410
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: He would be arrested as an illegitimate at the least,

411
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: he'd be arrested as an illegitimate president and a Nazi

412
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: if not. Just snuffed right there, well right, and.

413
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 2: Oh, for gosh sake, sorry, my computer is doing something weird.

414
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: So oh they did a very poor job. Just threw

415
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 2: it in as an after thought of translating Zelensky saying, yeah,

416
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 2: he's he said we can have the meeting in Moscow

417
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 2: to make sure the meeting doesn't take place, because he

418
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: knows I can't do.

419
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: That right, right, right, But obviously that's the key. Yeah,

420
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: of course, Lee's Hitler invited FDR to the bunker. I

421
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: want to come over here.

422
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 2: We'll talk, right, yeah, huh, all right, so uh, Jack,

423
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 2: and know you love New York City.

424
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: I do. I really like New York.

425
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 2: I don't love it quite like you do, but I

426
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 2: don't know it as well as you do. Have you

427
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 2: taken one of the rat tours? I have not, though

428
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 2: this is the hot new thing the rat tourism industry.

429
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: And it's funny just hear that phrase.

430
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 2: It's not clear to me whether you have like rats

431
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 2: lugging sorretcases, or were going on vacations or or what

432
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 2: but oh.

433
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: Rats, it's okay, I get it. There's a rat tourism

434
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: industry market.

435
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 2: It is ideal if you like to dig beneath the surface,

436
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 2: wild traveling. How many times can you go to the

437
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 2: damn Empire State Building?

438
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: After all? Right, this is a new twist? Can I

439
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: tell my son up there? When we were there a

440
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: couple months ago? He enjoyed that so much. We went

441
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: at night. I'd never been at night before. Wow, what

442
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: of you that is? From up there? Holy crap.

443
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 2: I went to the top of the Sears Tower in

444
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 2: Chicago handful of times at night with friends. We would

445
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: just be in Chicago and thinks that'd be fun. Often

446
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: fueled by the grape and or the leaf and and

447
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 2: that's it's pretty spectacular at night. Yeah, and New York

448
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 2: has such an amazing skyline. Anyway, Uh, multiple, that's the tower.

449
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the tower that now has the glass that

450
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: you you can it's all glass and you can lean

451
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: up against it and then it like falls forward, so

452
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: you're kind of laying out over the city street. I

453
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: didn't really, I didn't do that. That looked horrifying to me.

454
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: You're leaning up against glass and then it just like,

455
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: not not real steep, but enough that you're like lean

456
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: out over the street looking like you're falling. Yeah, that

457
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: that would weird me. Yeah, I'm not doing that now.

458
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 2: And you know it's funny the London Eye, which is

459
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 2: not a ferris wheel, it is a cantilever something or other.

460
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 2: But I was afraid in London I would freak out

461
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 2: because I got to think about heights and precipices and

462
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 2: stuff on the London Eye.

463
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: But no, it's just pure in wonder. Its like you're

464
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: in a room or something.

465
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 2: Yes, like somebody described it as the size of a

466
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 2: train car, which is a slight exaggeration, but yeah, it's

467
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 2: as secure as can be.

468
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: And just the views breathtaking anyway.

469
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 2: Speaking of breathtaking views, multiple tours now lead visitors to

470
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: rat infested hotspots, with tickets going as much as fifty

471
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: dollars a pop. One two and a half hour tour

472
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: takes visitors through grimy Lower Manhattan. Five star reviews online

473
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: saw lots of rats, big juicy rats. Really good rat

474
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 2: tour Highly recommend. You know what they promised? I'd they

475
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 2: did not lie?

476
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: What what did I get out of that?

477
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 2: I got to admit I have a grim fascination with

478
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 2: big urban rats. Oh God, speaking of my youth in Chicago.

479
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: I saw rats one time in Chicago that I swear

480
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: to God were the size of tabby cats.

481
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: I mean they were impressive.

482
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: They were If they somebody told me, look raccoons, I

483
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 2: just said, oh, but no, they were rats, with their

484
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 2: bald tails and their gleaming eyes and their teeth that

485
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 2: bite you. Kenny Bolwark, who's the founder of a viral

486
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 2: TikTok series called rat Talc, heads up another tour. The

487
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 2: rat tour is the new trendy thing, he says, is it?

488
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: Uh?

489
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 2: He actually moved to New York from Missouri in twenty nineteen,

490
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: and he grew frustrated, frustrated by the lack of anybody

491
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 2: giving it damn in the city, so he began live

492
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 2: streaming the vermin problem to get attention for it. The

493
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 2: followers came quickly, and soon he began charging for tours

494
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 2: and selling merchandise.

495
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: That's the most American thing I've ever heard, it really is.

496
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 1: I love that.

497
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 2: So he arms himself with a reflective vest, peppermint spray

498
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 2: to repel the rats, and a headlamp to spotlight them

499
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 2: in the dark.

500
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 1: And if that's what rats are like in the year

501
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, with all the modern traps, poisons, city restrictions,

502
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, you got to get to be up to

503
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: code of your restaurants and building and stuff like that.

504
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: If the rats are still like that, imagine what it

505
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: was like in like nineteen twenty five, one hundred years ago. Yeah, God,

506
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: it must have just been incredible. Yeah.

507
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: Although they make the point that the city infrastructure, like

508
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: the subway tunnels and other things are old and a

509
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 2: little crumbly, and there are a million nooks and crannies

510
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: for rats to hide in, and so nobody even knows

511
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 2: what the population is. It's in the millions, and it's

512
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: just it's a total Eradication has been deemed impossible by

513
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 2: most rat experts because the rodents reproduced too quickly and

514
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 2: thrive on the abundant food and shelter. They've tried everything

515
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 2: they can think of. Also, now the big push is

516
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 2: rat birth control, getting them to put on the condoms.

517
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: As top this thing, I can't get the package open,

518
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: ruins a sensation. Okay, we will finish strong. Next.

519
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 4: I read that uber eats is now offering delivery. Is

520
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 4: from Best Buy. Yeah, it's perfect if you want to

521
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 4: do a little shopping in two thousand and six. Now

522
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 4: instead of a few French fiser driver takes a bite.

523
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: Of your HDMI cable. So is Best Spike seen as

524
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: like old Tiny? I didn't know.

525
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: I think their hate day has past them. But I've

526
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 2: been in the Best Buy once a month last several months.

527
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: If I need a quarter. I go there fairly regularly

528
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: me and for stuff with me and my kids. But

529
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: I did see a delivery thing the other day. I

530
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,719
Speaker 1: didn't watch the whole story, but I saw the tease

531
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: of a drone delivering a Chipotle meal like their burritos

532
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: and chips and salsa. Dropped the bag and it floated

533
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: down to where they were something. I still can't imagine

534
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: how that's gonna work, But maybe we'll talk about that

535
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: next week. What I wanted to talk about is Nike's

536
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: new slogan. So they've had the same slogan since the

537
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: late eighties. It's a very long time, almost forty years.

538
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: It's been just do it. It's been pretty successful. They

539
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: are in a hot competition with all the other shoemakers

540
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: to have the most popular show shoe among kids, and

541
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: now they've changed their slogan or they're still gonna have

542
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: just do it, But they're also have a big new

543
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: ad campaign emphasizing why do it? And according to Nike's

544
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: Chief marketing Officer, Nicole Graham, explains that young athletes today

545
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: face an intense pressure cooker of comparison, trying to be perfect,

546
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: fear of failing, and fear of even trying in many cases,

547
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,239
Speaker 1: So we decided to come up with why do it?

548
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: Why should you even try to do something? Also, they

549
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: said that the ad campaign combats cringe culture, where earnest

550
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: effort is often seen as uncool. You know what? I

551
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: like that?

552
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 2: I like that while I'm locking somebody for trying, look

553
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: at that fat guy running, who's he kidding?

554
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: That's just rotten. Well, I like trying to turn the

555
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: tide on that the fact that the tide needs to

556
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: be turned is disturbing. It's so commonplace the whole It's

557
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: uncool to be seen trying. That's awful. What have we become?

558
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't know where does? How does that develop? And

559
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: often that is because I've done this myself with various things.

560
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: Often it's a I'm worried about I'm not going to

561
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: do very well if I try, so I'll pretend it's

562
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: uncol to try, right, right. Yeah, I've gosh, how many

563
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: times did I talk to my kids about that it's

564
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: okay to be bad at something. In fact, it's necessary.

565
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: Embrace it. It's it's fine, you gotta get through it.

566
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: We all do it. Don't be embarrassed, give it a try.

567
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: It's terrible to me that they need to have the

568
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: slogan why do it?

569
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 2: Speaking of terrible, As soon as you said it was

570
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 2: a woman who is the chief marketing officer, I thought,

571
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 2: uh oh, And I don't think it's sexism. It's because

572
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 2: every single one of the recent like Woke horrible missteps

573
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,719
Speaker 2: in marketing and PR has been just a gal at

574
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 2: the helm. But the women are much more likely to be,

575
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 2: you know, far lefties than men. So I just think

576
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 2: it's a matter of numbers. Obviously, there are plenty of

577
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 2: brilliant conservative women in the world.

578
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 5: You know.

579
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: And I'll have to see the ads if they're crafted

580
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: kind of the way you're thinking, I could. I could

581
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: end up really liking this as a message. Yeah. I

582
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: love the spirit of it, the way it's described the

583
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: athletes that'll be involved in the ads include Sequon Barkley,

584
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: who ran for over two thousand yards last year, Lebron James,

585
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark, who announced last night she's out for the season.

586
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: She will not come back this year from her injury.

587
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 2: So boy, the rest of the season. So that's another

588
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 2: week or six months or something I have.

589
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: For No season's over and they had their championship last

590
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: night and we don't know it right, Yeah I don't.

591
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That's very dismissive. But see that was sexism

592
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: and I resent it. Hey, kids, it's that time again

593
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: with Armstrong and Getty. Here's your host for final thoughts,

594
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: Joel Getty.

595
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 2: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew

596
00:33:59,000 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 2: to wrap things up for the day.

597
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: There he is our technical director, Michael Angelo. Michael laid

598
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: us off which title.

599
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 5: I'm just looking over my list here to start the

600
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 5: NFL season. I want to make sure I got my

601
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 5: letter D I've got my little fence, I've got a

602
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 5: foam finger, and I've got my NFL Copyright Enforcement eight

603
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 5: hundred number I always keep at, you.

604
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: Know, just a base excellent idea sounds good. I think

605
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: I've set for the season. There you go, Katie Green

606
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: is off. We'll be back sooner. Ish Jack has a

607
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: final thought for us. Yeah, So I'm in a Newish neighborhood.

608
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: I've been there a year, but they're having their yearly

609
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: I guess culled the sack neighbor lee barbecue at five

610
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: o'clock this afternoon. And I'm actually gonna go me and

611
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: my kids with all my neighbors and their kids, and

612
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this and I'm gonna get to know

613
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: them and They're going to get to know me. And

614
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: I don't do this very often, and I think it's

615
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: a good idea. And here we go. Yes, take a

616
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: deep breath and jump at the pool. You'll be glad

617
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: you did it.

618
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 2: I am almost every time I do that sort of thing.

619
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 2: My final thought is a very silly one. But a
