WEBVTT - No One Looks Like That!

0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Getty Armstrong and Jettie

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:24.159
<v Speaker 1>and He Armstrong and Yetty Yo yo yo, thanks for

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>joining us. Joe is in He's the Getty half of

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Getty. Joe is in England on vacation. I

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:33.160
<v Speaker 1>think he's gonna call in a little bit later, half

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:37.680
<v Speaker 1>in his cups, drunk on bass ale. But we're having

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>a variety of guests on today to keep me sane,

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:43.560
<v Speaker 1>including who we used to call Craig the Obamacare lawyer,

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 1>back when we're trying to work our way through what

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 1>the hell Obamacare was or is, which continues to be

0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the law of the land, right Craig. Welcome, Craig Gottwaals.

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Obamacare is. It's just just became status quo as we

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>all predicted it would be, and and all of our

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 1>deductibles went way, way, way, way up, and we all

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>just accepted that that's the way they're going to be

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of our lives. So that's the way

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>that turned out. Hey, I do have a quick health

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>related thing for you before we get into some other

0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>stuff that you and I were texting about last night.

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 1>I got a friend who's got a pretty bad health diagnosis,

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>and I suggested, man, you ought to get a second opinion.

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>But people throw around the whole get a second opinion

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>like it's easy to do. I've never actually done it.

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:33.479
<v Speaker 1>How do you even go about doing that? Does your

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 1>insurance like you do that? What do you do? Do

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>you go to a completely different doctor grouper?

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 2>What is that?

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:42.400
<v Speaker 1>What is the second opinion?

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, some of that's going to depend on what kind

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:46.680
<v Speaker 2>of plan you're on, whether it's a PPO or an

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 2>HMO or like what we call an open access plan.

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>But what are most people let's start there. What do

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>most people have? Who have? People wear a company healthcare

0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>for APO? Okay, yeah, that's what I thought. Most of

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 1>us have PPO. So if we have a PPO, how

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 1>do we get a second opinion?

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 2>The easiest way to get a second opinion in that

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.639
<v Speaker 2>case would be to pick a different primary care doctor

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 2>in a different medical group and just go through the

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 2>process again, because if you stay within this through.

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.640
<v Speaker 1>The whole process again, go through the whole process again,

0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>while you're probably not feeling very good, maybe feeling terrible.

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it at that point.

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.079
<v Speaker 2>So it's gonna come down to how much you trust

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 2>your doctor and the medical group, because if you stay

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>within the same medical group, they're going to have a

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 2>pretty strong bias to confirm what's.

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 3>Already been done. Well, that exactly, that's what I want

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 3>to second.

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's two things wrong with several things wrong with that,

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 1>And it's a tell me it's not a common phrase,

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Well you should get a second opinion. People throw that

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 1>around all the time like it's an easy thing to do.

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:49.639
<v Speaker 1>But so I'd have to go through the whole process.

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Am i am? I kind of like half firing my

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.919
<v Speaker 1>primary doctor I've had maybe for years, I'm probably friends

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>with at this point. How offended is he or she

0:02:58.320 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 1>going to be?

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, most plans will have a mechanism in there for

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 2>a second opinion so that it's not so that you're

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 2>not Now if it's an HMO, which a lot of

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 2>people are on in larger cities, then kind of are

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.799
<v Speaker 2>firing that doctor because you'd pick a different primary care

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:16.800
<v Speaker 2>doctor come back to them in a future month. But

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 2>most PPOs will have a mechanism. You can do it

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>the other way to do it if you have a

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 2>little bit of means at all is to go out

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 2>into the market and find a direct primary care doctor,

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 2>somebody who's left the system and sees you for like

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 2>one hundred or one hundred and twenty five dollars a

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 2>month fee. That way, you can keep doing what you're

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 2>doing with your system doctor on your planet work, for example,

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 2>But then you can spend a couple hundred dollars and

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 2>go off to the side and see one of these

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 2>direct primary care doctors who's left the system and will

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 2>then give you a truly independent analysis that if you

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 2>have some means at all, that's what I would recommend.

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's a little frustrating. I mean, they don't offer

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 1>that up to you, certainly after they give you a diagnosis.

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.839
<v Speaker 1>And the one thing I learned nil people all this time,

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>The main thing I learned from when I had cancer

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>is there's a lot of guessing. There's way more guessing

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>than I ever believed was the case. And you can

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 1>talk to a couple of different people and they have

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>completely different opinions.

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 2>So well, not just cancer, I mean all these complicated.

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, sure, if we just start looking at autoimmune diseases,

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 2>and then the way these the new the new drugs

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 2>are affecting that. It's it's you know, because of what

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I do. I have a lot of good friendships with doctors,

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 2>and it's shocking how you can talk to two very

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 2>well respected doctors that have been doing this for decades

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 2>and they'll have incredibly different opinions on how you should

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.919
<v Speaker 2>treat X, Y or Z, especially when we get to

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 2>like autoimmune or even cancer YEP.

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I have that exact situation with my son where they

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.719
<v Speaker 1>I have two PhD level, been around forever people with

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 1>almost one hundred and eighty degree apart opinions, And what

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 1>am I supposed to do with that information? Anyway? That's

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.480
<v Speaker 1>enough of that health stuff for now, So this is interesting.

0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.840
<v Speaker 1>So we talked to I know your friends Tim Sanderfer.

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 1>We had Tim the lawyer on Last Hour, and we

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>were talking about AI and all the different sort of stuff.

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.040
<v Speaker 1>And I'm fascinated by AI and I read lots of

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>books and listen to a lot of podcasts because I

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>think it's I think it's going to be a really

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>big deal. I don't know if it's going to be

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 1>as big as fire, Like the guy from Google says

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>to mankind, the invention of fire but I mean, if

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>if it's half that, it would be shockingly huge. A

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of people are worried about AI taken so many jobs.

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.160
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have to come up with some sort of

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.200
<v Speaker 1>guaranteed income thing to pay people to stay home and

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 1>play the flute because there just aren't going to be

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.679
<v Speaker 1>enough jobs. AI is going to take it over. Tim says,

0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be like every other technology that's

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 1>come along. It's going to develop all kinds of new

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.040
<v Speaker 1>jobs that you've never even thought of yet. It'll take

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 1>care of itself. The cotton gin didn't eliminate all farm workers.

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 1>It started all kinds of other different things, and you

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 1>end up with more jobs. Where are you on that question?

0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Because Tim Tim Tim thinks now that he's not worried

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>about it. I am. I think it's going to destroy

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>the entire world. Go ahead.

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:07.800
<v Speaker 3>I fall much closer to Tim it goes.

0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:09.160
<v Speaker 1>I hope you're both right.

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm using it. I'm using it every day at work.

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:13.920
<v Speaker 2>In fact, everybody in my office is. We're using it regularly.

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 2>And what it's done is it's allowed me to just

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 2>become so much more efficient with not wasting a lot

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 2>of time on some of the more menial tasks that

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to have to burn time on. I

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.279
<v Speaker 2>can use AI to standardize and templatize a lot of

0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.839
<v Speaker 2>the things that i'm doing quickly. I'll give you an example, Jack,

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 2>because you know I'm a lawyer and I'm reviewing healthcare contracts.

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Just recently, I took six different Pharmacy Benefit Manager PBM contracts.

0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.280
<v Speaker 2>So it's the part of your health plan that deals

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.600
<v Speaker 2>with all the drugs. Six different contracts. All of them

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.480
<v Speaker 2>were between fifty and one hundred pages. I uploaded all

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 2>of them into chatch GPT, I said, and then I

0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 2>gave it like a whole page of instruction on what

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 2>I wanted. I wanted to compare and contrast this. I

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:56.719
<v Speaker 2>wanted to know the weaknesses and strengths. I wanted to

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 2>know where I could find a B and C and

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.720
<v Speaker 2>D in each contract, and I wanted it to put

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:02.039
<v Speaker 2>it all in a grid for me.

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:03.479
<v Speaker 1>So it did.

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:04.800
<v Speaker 3>Within like ten minutes.

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 2>I had this unbelievable chart that it spit back to me,

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 2>where then I could go back and just hit the

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 2>highlights of the contracts in my review. Now, where that

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 2>would be devastating is if you had zero idea what

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 2>you were doing if you weren't a healthcare attorney, for example,

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 2>and you didn't know where it was wrong. Because it's wrong,

0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 2>as you guys have reported, it's wrong a good clip

0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 2>of the time. It'll make things up or it'll have

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 2>something totally off. But when you're already an expert in

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 2>an area to take care. I mean, it saved me

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.360
<v Speaker 2>four hours doing what it did, and then I could

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 2>just spend one hour fine tuning it and making it

0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 2>exactly what I needed to see from my clients.

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.200
<v Speaker 1>But you do have the problems of hallucinations or whatever.

0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>It just makes stuff up.

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Now, then absolutely, yeah, you have to watch it. What

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.080
<v Speaker 2>I tell my coworkers is when it tells you something

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.960
<v Speaker 2>that you think is just maybe not quite right, you

0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 2>have to tell it give me a source for that,

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 2>and then you have to hit that source and you

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 2>have to go look at it because it will get.

0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 3>Things completely wrong.

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 2>I've read the stats that say fifty percent of the time.

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.520
<v Speaker 2>I think that's too high, but I see it getting

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 2>things wrong twenty percent of the time anyway.

0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Really, okay, that's interesting.

0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well, it sends you to a link that doesn't exist,

0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 2>or it just says something that's not right.

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So I asked a lot of questions that I

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 1>have no expertise in, and so it could maybe it's

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>lied to me way more often than I realize, and

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 1>then I probably repeated on the radio. But I'm I'm

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I've mentioned this a thousand times. I'm reading the book

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Ulysses by James Joyce. I'm trying to fight my way

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 1>through that book. And I've been using chat GBT when

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.199
<v Speaker 1>I get stuck on something. But I had one the

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 1>other day where it was just I knew it was

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.440
<v Speaker 1>completely wrong, like just as wrong as wrong could be,

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.320
<v Speaker 1>And I wonder how often that happens. I asked a

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>question yesterday about taking zinc when you got a cold,

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>and the information it spit out for me for different

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 1>ages and different studies and stuff like that, as far

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 1>as I know, was absolutely fascinating and so fast. So

0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>which you mentioned chat GPT several times. There's a whole

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.839
<v Speaker 1>bunch of AI apps or programs or whatever you can

0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.600
<v Speaker 1>call them chatbots out there. How many of them are

0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:01.079
<v Speaker 1>you using?

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I'm using I'm using an upgraded version of

0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 2>chat GPT that I've paid for and I've trained with

0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.160
<v Speaker 2>a lot of what I do for healthcare law.

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Do you think the paid for one is Do you

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.240
<v Speaker 1>think the paid one paid for one is worth it

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:16.200
<v Speaker 1>for the average person or only if you have an

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:17.160
<v Speaker 1>expertise in something.

0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I think if you're using it for work, the paid

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 2>for one is worth it. I mean if you're just

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 2>using it for for fun and for social you know,

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you need to pay for it, but

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 2>I lean on it pretty heavily at times and chat.

0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:30.199
<v Speaker 3>GPT seems to.

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Be the best one for like legal analysis and writing

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 2>and writing templates when I have to when I start

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.599
<v Speaker 2>working with Excel spreadsheets, for example, when I want to

0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.080
<v Speaker 2>compare large Excel spreadsheets and I want to I want

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 2>to have AI shortcut some of that for me, I

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 2>find that Gemini Google's seems to be the best one

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:49.480
<v Speaker 2>for me in that lane.

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 3>And then the other thing.

0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 2>That we use a lot at work because we do

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:54.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot of presentations for clients and a lot of

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:59.680
<v Speaker 2>visual stuff. Will use mid Journey to create art and imagery,

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.800
<v Speaker 2>which is I think the industry leader easily for you know,

0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.840
<v Speaker 2>creating those pictures in those and those slides that are.

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh so if you want to do it really you

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 1>want to do images and stuff you like mid Journey,

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 1>which I'd never even heard of.

0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Mid Journey.

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, mid Journey's amazing. And I actually learned that an

0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:16.360
<v Speaker 2>artist friend of mine in the Bay Area who said,

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.680
<v Speaker 2>that's the only one artists you're using is mid Journey?

0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Jar that, Katie, because I know you do a lot

0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.599
<v Speaker 1>of that. That's a good one. Mid Journey is that?

0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:24.120
<v Speaker 1>And is that just something like I can put on

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>my phone getting.

0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:29.600
<v Speaker 2>That, Yeah, it's just a weblink or there's probably an app,

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:30.880
<v Speaker 2>but I just I just hit it on a on a.

0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 3>On a web page browser.

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 2>And I actually do pay for the upgraded version of

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.320
<v Speaker 2>that one as well, because we we hit it a

0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 2>lot for creating. You know, you see a presentation at

0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 2>your job, right and you get so sick of seeing

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:44.640
<v Speaker 2>the same clip art over and over.

0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:46.959
<v Speaker 3>Well, we'll just use mid Journey to create unique art.

0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.120
<v Speaker 2>That way, I know that when I'm giving a presentation

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.800
<v Speaker 2>to a client, they've never seen this imagery before. It's

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 2>not you know, some stock imagery, but that Journey. We

0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.160
<v Speaker 2>hit it, but use a free version of it as well.

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Mid Journey. I'm looking for it, Okay, I haven't missed

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.720
<v Speaker 1>around with Google Gemini. I need to do that just

0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 1>because I know they're pouring so many billions of dollars

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 1>into that sort of thing, because there's a big belief

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:16.240
<v Speaker 1>among Eli and Eli, Elon and Google and you know

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>a couple of different people that whoever emerges as the leader,

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:27.080
<v Speaker 1>there's trillions of dollars involved in that, and it's worth

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:28.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to be the best. So I need to figure

0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.760
<v Speaker 1>out what Gemini is up to. We'll talk more with

0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Craig here in just a little bit about a bunch

0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.320
<v Speaker 1>of different things. He's got some strong opinions on the

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 1>war in Ukraine that I think are going to be

0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot closer to a lot of you our listeners

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 1>than I have been on Ukraine. So we'll get to

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:43.480
<v Speaker 1>that among other things coming up in just a little bit.

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to tell you about Webroot. If you're into

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 1>tech stuff at all and you spend any time on

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:51.080
<v Speaker 1>your phone, you should probably have webroot. If you ever

0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.480
<v Speaker 1>know anybody who had their bank account hacked and the

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 1>nightmare it was to try to untangle that mess and

0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 1>maybe get your credit rating back and all those different

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 1>sort of things. That's why we trust webroot Total Protection.

<v Speaker 1>at webroot dot com slash Armstrong. A whole bunch of

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:44.440
<v Speaker 1>different things we're going to talk about that are interesting

0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:50.760
<v Speaker 1>coming up. Stay here Armstrong, Heydy. The FDA is warning

0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.680
<v Speaker 1>consumers not to eat frozen shrimp from Walmart because it

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.679
<v Speaker 1>may contain radioactive material.

0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 4>Also because it's frozen shrimp from Walmart.

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Aren't you an elitist? You don't eat shrimp? From homart.

0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't need it. We're talking with Craig Gottwalls, who

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 1>is a healthcare expert. I actually we're talking about other things.

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 1>But if people want to get a hold of you,

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:12.800
<v Speaker 1>like for some healthcare advice, how do they get.

0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:13.080
<v Speaker 3>A hold of you?

0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.320
<v Speaker 2>The easiest way probably Gottwalls dot substack dot com.

0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, cool, we're just talking about AI and want to

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.240
<v Speaker 1>finish up that conversation. Uh, because I'm fascinated by it,

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 1>and man, if you're not brushing up against it yet,

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:30.439
<v Speaker 1>you will be. So I suggest get on the front

0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.360
<v Speaker 1>end of checking some of this stuff out. But I

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.560
<v Speaker 1>was talking to a teacher, my next door neighbor. She

0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>teaches ninth grade English, and I asked her about AI,

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 1>and I can tell her eyes lit up and she

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:43.319
<v Speaker 1>kind of rolled her eyes, like, oh, yeah, it's really

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 1>hard now to figure out if a kid wrote his

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 1>paper and all this different sort of stuff. I know

0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.280
<v Speaker 1>you've taught college classes in the past working with people.

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 1>How do you is there is there a way to

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.679
<v Speaker 1>tell if something's AI or if some it's actually a

0:13:57.760 --> 0:13:58.560
<v Speaker 1>human beings work.

0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's becoming it's becoming increasingly easy to tell honestly,

0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 2>because I use it so much. I can see how

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:05.960
<v Speaker 2>it writes, and I see how it works.

0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 3>It does things.

0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Katie mentioned one earlier in the week, or maybe it

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:13.439
<v Speaker 2>was last week, the long dash, the ridiculously long dash

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.560
<v Speaker 2>that none of us ever grew up using.

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.240
<v Speaker 3>But AI uses like it's going out of style.

0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 2>True, And it's not just like I'm typing, I put

0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 2>a dash, and I keep typing and it puts a

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 2>little dash in there. No, it's a it's a dash

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 2>that goes all the way from one word to the next.

0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 2>If you see that in a response that you get,

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 2>you know that was written by AI.

0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.720
<v Speaker 1>That's true. I'm looking at Yeah, I'm looking at my

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 1>chat GPT question about I was getting getting seasick on

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.440
<v Speaker 1>my sailing lessons and asking about what medicine is the

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.680
<v Speaker 1>best for that. Yeah, and all the answers really long

0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 1>dashes in there.

0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.880
<v Speaker 3>Okay, a ton of them too.

0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.080
<v Speaker 2>And I've even I've even gone into AI. Remember, I've

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.200
<v Speaker 2>got the upgraded version that I've trained, and I've said

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.040
<v Speaker 2>stop using that. I don't write that way. I've routed

0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 2>it back to all of my articles that I've written

0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 2>and said, this is how I write write this way,

0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:01.080
<v Speaker 2>don't use those dashes, and for whatever reason, I can't

0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 2>get it to stop doing that. So I don't know

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 2>how how smart AI is when when that's our reality

0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:13.480
<v Speaker 2>right right. The other one is emojis gone wild. It

0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.440
<v Speaker 2>will it will put so many emojis in a response

0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:18.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot of times, especially people that are using it

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.280
<v Speaker 2>to put up posts on like LinkedIn or Instagram or whatever.

0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 2>You'll see just way too many emojis and all these

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:26.920
<v Speaker 2>like crazy emojis that humans don't ever use.

0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 3>It's just it's a total tell that it's a hi.

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh.

0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 2>And then the last one and this is a simple one.

0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 2>But if you have it write memo or if you

0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 2>have it write like a formal letter, it puts lines,

0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 2>like actual lines between the sections. And so sometimes I'll

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.440
<v Speaker 2>get something from somebody that's got the lines in it still,

0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.960
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, dude, you didn't even bother to delete

0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.520
<v Speaker 2>the lines out of this pure AI that you just

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:51.160
<v Speaker 2>regurgitated back at me.

0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.680
<v Speaker 1>So a lot and then.

0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:57.160
<v Speaker 2>A lot of LinkedIn is AI you tell me, yeah,

0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 2>fifty And this was according to a studied I'm back

0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:00.920
<v Speaker 2>in October.

0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:02.440
<v Speaker 3>I swear to god, it's higher now.

0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Fifty four percent of everything on LinkedIn is AI generated. Wow,

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 2>even this is my favorite. There's a few attorneys that

0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.760
<v Speaker 2>I like and I follow on LinkedIn that we share ideas.

0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 2>One of them has in their bio one hundred percent

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.440
<v Speaker 2>non AI generated. So I'm reading one of I won't

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.560
<v Speaker 2>even say the gender. I'm reading one of their posts

0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 2>the other day and it says and I'm reading it,

0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:28.160
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going, this is AI. I can tell by

0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.440
<v Speaker 2>the the all the little catchphrases it uses all the

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.440
<v Speaker 2>all the you know, here's the deal, and all the

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:35.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of almost like the bidenisms that it throws us

0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 2>out there, and I'm like, this is AI.

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:39.400
<v Speaker 3>So then here's another trick you can use.

0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Go to Google and just type in AI detection tool

0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 2>and you'll be able to pull up, you know, dozens

0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.560
<v Speaker 2>of different websites where you copy the text, paste it in,

0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.640
<v Speaker 2>and then it'll tell you, with pretty good likelihood what

0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.800
<v Speaker 2>percentage of that text generated was AI. So this is

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.440
<v Speaker 2>what university professors are using and high school teachers are

0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.680
<v Speaker 2>using to detect it because it has all these tells

0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 2>in it that you just get used to over time.

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's really interesting.

0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:04.399
<v Speaker 3>One.

0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm not smart enough or I haven't spent enough time

0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 1>with it to pick it up in print. But I

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:12.880
<v Speaker 1>feel like I can tell an AI image immediately. They're

0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:18.280
<v Speaker 1>just too something, They're too something, they're too perfect. There's

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:19.480
<v Speaker 1>no human being that looks like that.

0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:22.440
<v Speaker 3>The other tell this is fascinating.

0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.159
<v Speaker 2>So we had a college intern working with us this

0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.560
<v Speaker 2>summer and she was shadowing me for a couple of weeks.

0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.959
<v Speaker 2>She told me it's so prevalent in her university that

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:35.080
<v Speaker 2>she will purposefully submit papers with five or six grammatical

0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:38.160
<v Speaker 2>errors in them because she does not want to even

0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.520
<v Speaker 2>come close to getting accused of using AI to write

0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:41.040
<v Speaker 2>her papers.

0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Ah wow, So you get AI to write a paper

0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:46.520
<v Speaker 1>for you, then you go back in and put in

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:51.920
<v Speaker 1>some grammatical errors, and that's who you trick, your teacher. Okay,

0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I do want to get to that Russia Ukraine stuff

0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:56.160
<v Speaker 1>in just a second. There was I think a fair

0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.200
<v Speaker 1>amount of movement that on that on Sunday with Lavrov

0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.040
<v Speaker 1>on one of the talk we'll play you what he

0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:04.760
<v Speaker 1>had to say and then discuss how much we should

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.280
<v Speaker 1>get into this war or not. If you miss the

0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.399
<v Speaker 1>segment Orn Hour, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:12.360
<v Speaker 1>demand Armstrong and Getty.

0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:20.040
<v Speaker 5>No should know by now that never ever Russia deliberately

0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:26.960
<v Speaker 5>targeted any sites which are not linked to military abilities

0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:27.800
<v Speaker 5>of Ukraine.

0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:32.800
<v Speaker 1>So that's Sergei Lavrov. He's the spokeshole for Vladimir Putin,

0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.359
<v Speaker 1>has been for many, many years. He's a well, I

0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 1>was going to say he's a paid liar. He is.

0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:40.440
<v Speaker 1>He is also in the situation that if he didn't

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.000
<v Speaker 1>lie properly for Putin, he would get he would fall

0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.200
<v Speaker 1>out of a window all of a sudden, and his

0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:47.200
<v Speaker 1>whole family would probably be killed. So that's a pretty

0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.360
<v Speaker 1>big motivator to get out there and lie too. He's

0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:51.600
<v Speaker 1>pretty good at it anyway. He was on Meet the

0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Press on Sunday. Kristen Welker, the host, brought up the

0:18:56.119 --> 0:19:01.560
<v Speaker 1>fact that Russia regularly targets civilians. He says they did not,

0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:04.399
<v Speaker 1>and they went further with that conversation.

0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:10.040
<v Speaker 4>Russia has hit maternity wards, churches, schools, hospitals at kindergarten

0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:13.480
<v Speaker 4>just this past week. So either the Russian military has

0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:17.480
<v Speaker 4>terrible aim or you are targeting civilians, which is it.

0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:24.679
<v Speaker 5>Look NBC is a very respectful structure, and I hope

0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:30.200
<v Speaker 5>you are responsible for the words which you broadcast. I

0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:34.960
<v Speaker 5>asked you to send us or to publicize the information

0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:39.879
<v Speaker 5>to which you just referred, because we never targeted the

0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:42.919
<v Speaker 5>civilian targets of the kind you.

0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Cited, So obviously that's a load of crap. But he's

0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:53.960
<v Speaker 1>able to say, look, NBC is a very respected news organization.

0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:55.919
<v Speaker 1>If you have the proof, send it to me. There

0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:57.439
<v Speaker 1>would be no proof you could send to him that

0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:01.120
<v Speaker 1>would satisfy him. And it's not like Putin just emerged

0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:03.480
<v Speaker 1>on the scene. Not only is he doing it in Ukraine,

0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:07.800
<v Speaker 1>he helped Bashar al Asad do it in Syria, you know,

0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:10.080
<v Speaker 1>bombing the hell out of civilians, Carolyn one, hundreds of

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:12.720
<v Speaker 1>thousands of their own people to try and stay in

0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:16.359
<v Speaker 1>power there. He blew up all those people in his

0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:20.320
<v Speaker 1>own country, in his own hotel, his own Russian citizens.

0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:22.320
<v Speaker 1>He blew up in a hotel to make it look

0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:25.840
<v Speaker 1>like the Chechens had attacked, so he had a reason

0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 1>to go into Chechnya. I mean, he's an evil guy.

0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:31.000
<v Speaker 1>He's willing to do anything which leads us to this.

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:34.600
<v Speaker 1>So we have Craig Gottwalds joining us today 'SU lyon

0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:37.080
<v Speaker 1>talking about healthcare. But I wanted to talk to Craig

0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:43.000
<v Speaker 1>about the Russia Ukraine situation, because he's closer to where

0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:47.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of you are on your opinions about US

0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:50.879
<v Speaker 1>involvement in Ukraine. Joe and I are pretty big cheerleaders

0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:55.000
<v Speaker 1>for arming the Ukrainians and pushing back hard and all

0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:57.680
<v Speaker 1>that sort of stuff. Craig is not so. I don't

0:20:57.680 --> 0:20:59.440
<v Speaker 1>know if you were listening earlier, Craig when we had

0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:03.560
<v Speaker 1>justin logo on from Cato. He is closer to you

0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:07.600
<v Speaker 1>with a pretty cold eyed reality look at the whole thing.

0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:10.199
<v Speaker 1>What is your position on Russia Ukraine?

0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is one I I just I haven't changed

0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:16.880
<v Speaker 2>my opinion on this since day one of the war.

0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:19.359
<v Speaker 2>And I just look at this and think, well, this

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:22.800
<v Speaker 2>is unfortunate. I don't like it, I don't support it.

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:26.240
<v Speaker 2>But the reality is you've got a giant nuclear power,

0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:29.960
<v Speaker 2>one of the three largest powers on the planet, that's

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:32.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna that's gonna do whatever they want to do, and

0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna they're gonna take over U one of their

0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:38.960
<v Speaker 2>former client states, and we're not gonna do anything about it,

0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 2>whether it's China, whether it's America, if if, if might

0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:46.959
<v Speaker 2>makes right and if in and then the world of

0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:49.320
<v Speaker 2>war if we have the might and we have the

0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:52.359
<v Speaker 2>manpower and we're willing to do whatever it takes. Like

0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:56.080
<v Speaker 2>for I think about it this way, Like imagine Northern

0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Mexico got so out of control with cartel behavior flowing

0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 2>into us, and we just decided, look, we got to

0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:02.360
<v Speaker 2>go in and fix it.

0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:03.080
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying what Russia's saying is right. I'm just saying,

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:08.840
<v Speaker 2>if we decided we needed to go into northern Mexico,

0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:13.240
<v Speaker 2>how would we like it if all of a sudden,

0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:17.720
<v Speaker 2>China and Russia we're funding the Mexicans with arms and

0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:20.520
<v Speaker 2>with munitions. We wouldn't like it at all. We'd say,

0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:22.639
<v Speaker 2>stay out of our neighborhood. This is our world, this

0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:25.400
<v Speaker 2>is what we do. We're the world power. Back off

0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:27.159
<v Speaker 2>unless you're willing to come here and fight us one

0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:30.119
<v Speaker 2>on one. And I just feel like all we're doing

0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:34.399
<v Speaker 2>in Ukraine is prolonging the blood bath. We're making it

0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:37.240
<v Speaker 2>so that they lose a little more slowly and that

0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:40.359
<v Speaker 2>more people die. And the quote from Marco Rubio you

0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:42.440
<v Speaker 2>guys had a week or so ago, I thought was phenomenal.

0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:46.399
<v Speaker 2>It's a meat grinder, and all we're doing is making

0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:48.720
<v Speaker 2>it so that we can prolong the meat grinding, and

0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:50.879
<v Speaker 2>Russia's going to win because they have what it was

0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:54.520
<v Speaker 2>like a seven or a ten to one advantage in manpower.

0:22:55.240 --> 0:22:57.720
<v Speaker 2>And then on top of all that, even if somehow,

0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:00.919
<v Speaker 2>some way we were to arm Ukraine enough that Ukraine

0:23:00.920 --> 0:23:03.879
<v Speaker 2>could push him back a little, I think Putin's actually

0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:07.000
<v Speaker 2>shown restraint by not using a tactical nuke or really

0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:10.119
<v Speaker 2>even waving that flag around, because you know what he

0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:14.720
<v Speaker 2>has it and ultimately I view war as might makes right.

0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:17.280
<v Speaker 2>So unless we're willing to go stand there and fight

0:23:17.359 --> 0:23:21.120
<v Speaker 2>against them, I just think all we're doing is playing games.

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:25.960
<v Speaker 2>We're depleting our own weaponry, and we're not doing any

0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:29.400
<v Speaker 2>favors to the world. Now I realize your comeback, Jack

0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 2>is going to be so you just let Putin take it.

0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:33.760
<v Speaker 2>And the answer is yep. You let him take as

0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:35.440
<v Speaker 2>much as he's going to take. And once he's taken

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:37.600
<v Speaker 2>enough that we say we're willing to go send our

0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:39.840
<v Speaker 2>kids over to fight, that's when it'll stop.

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. That was my response to Justin logan from Cato

0:23:45.280 --> 0:23:48.360
<v Speaker 1>earlier this morning, And if you didn't hear that, that

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:51.760
<v Speaker 1>was our one and you can find the podcast Armstrong

0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:55.840
<v Speaker 1>and Getty on demand. But I said, so, won't this

0:23:55.960 --> 0:23:58.199
<v Speaker 1>set up a situation if Putin gets away with it,

0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:00.920
<v Speaker 1>using my finger quotes, get us away with that where

0:24:01.080 --> 0:24:03.119
<v Speaker 1>China will decide, well we get to take Taiwana or

0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:05.800
<v Speaker 1>any other bigger country gets to take it. And he said, well,

0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:08.240
<v Speaker 1>that's the history of the world. It's always been that way.

0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:10.400
<v Speaker 1>It's only this tiny it's going to happen.

0:24:11.840 --> 0:24:12.679
<v Speaker 3>Anything about it.

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:15.520
<v Speaker 1>It's only this tiny blip of recent history where that

0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:20.000
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been going on because the United States and the

0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Soviet Union at the time were so big and powerful

0:24:22.320 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 1>they stot and nobody did anything without their approval really

0:24:26.040 --> 0:24:29.720
<v Speaker 1>in their own spheres. But and then the Cold War ended,

0:24:29.840 --> 0:24:33.440
<v Speaker 1>and we were the lone superpower for really the blink

0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:36.600
<v Speaker 1>of an eye. And now we're back to, you know,

0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:40.199
<v Speaker 1>a uni unit more than a unipower world. There are

0:24:40.200 --> 0:24:42.400
<v Speaker 1>a couple of different powers in the world. And that's

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:44.879
<v Speaker 1>just the way it's always been and it's always going

0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:47.080
<v Speaker 1>to be and there's really not much you can do

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:52.920
<v Speaker 1>about it. That's hard to argue with that. I don't

0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:53.360
<v Speaker 1>like it.

0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:55.840
<v Speaker 2>I just I think the phrase I used with you

0:24:55.840 --> 0:24:59.080
<v Speaker 2>and Joe the other day was just radical pragmatism, Like

0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:03.040
<v Speaker 2>what's I've ever since this thing started, I never was

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:06.160
<v Speaker 2>emotional about it. I've always just thought, well, what's the end. Well,

0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:08.280
<v Speaker 2>the end is Putin's gonna take whatever he wants because

0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:10.280
<v Speaker 2>we're not going to go fight, and if we're not

0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:12.280
<v Speaker 2>going to go fight, he's going to win. I mean

0:25:12.280 --> 0:25:15.159
<v Speaker 2>that's just the I just don't know anyway around that.

0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's hard to not be emotional about it, obviously,

0:25:17.920 --> 0:25:19.720
<v Speaker 1>if you, you know, you watch the news and you

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:22.040
<v Speaker 1>hear from some of these Ukrainians who are who are

0:25:22.320 --> 0:25:25.560
<v Speaker 1>literally fighting to save their families. I mean, because their

0:25:25.640 --> 0:25:28.359
<v Speaker 1>children might be rounded up and taken away from mom

0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:31.320
<v Speaker 1>to Russia, never to be seen again. Mom might be

0:25:31.440 --> 0:25:33.560
<v Speaker 1>raped or killed. I mean, it's it's a pretty hard

0:25:33.600 --> 0:25:37.080
<v Speaker 1>not to get emotional about it. But uh, you get

0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:38.960
<v Speaker 1>as emotional as you want. But if you're not going

0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:41.080
<v Speaker 1>to give him the arms or the troops or whatever

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:44.119
<v Speaker 1>it would take to win, there's no stopping them.

0:25:45.000 --> 0:25:46.639
<v Speaker 3>And I don't think I don't think the arm. I

0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:47.919
<v Speaker 3>think the arms is a red herring.

0:25:47.920 --> 0:25:49.920
<v Speaker 2>I think all we're doing with the arms is prolonging

0:25:49.920 --> 0:25:51.480
<v Speaker 2>the pain in the agony because we're not going to

0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:55.679
<v Speaker 2>give them nukes, right, So, ultimately Putin has nukes and

0:25:55.720 --> 0:25:57.639
<v Speaker 2>he'd be willing to use them because he's that crazy,

0:25:57.680 --> 0:26:00.320
<v Speaker 2>I think, So what the hell are we doing? Like

0:26:00.680 --> 0:26:02.919
<v Speaker 2>this is to me, what we're doing is dangerous and

0:26:02.960 --> 0:26:06.720
<v Speaker 2>scary because ultimately he has nukes and he would be

0:26:06.720 --> 0:26:10.040
<v Speaker 2>willing to use him. Yeah, so what are we even

0:26:10.040 --> 0:26:10.920
<v Speaker 2>doing giving him arms?

0:26:11.040 --> 0:26:13.400
<v Speaker 1>When we were talking to Mike Lyons, our favorite military

0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 1>guy yesterday, he seemed to think he wouldn't be very

0:26:18.600 --> 0:26:21.879
<v Speaker 1>surprised if Putin somepoint uses a tactical nuke on one

0:26:21.920 --> 0:26:24.960
<v Speaker 1>of those cities, kills like ten thousand people in one

0:26:25.800 --> 0:26:28.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, a little shot of a small nuke, just

0:26:28.320 --> 0:26:30.159
<v Speaker 1>to let everybody know, Hey, I'm serious about this. And

0:26:30.200 --> 0:26:32.680
<v Speaker 1>he thinks the world would probably back off, the world

0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:34.639
<v Speaker 1>would not say, Okay, we're at war now, NATO's not

0:26:34.680 --> 0:26:35.560
<v Speaker 1>going to go to war to.

0:26:35.560 --> 0:26:36.320
<v Speaker 3>Nuclear war over that.

0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:39.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's and that's now today. And I respect

0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Mike Lyons's opinion a lot on these matters, obviously, And

0:26:42.000 --> 0:26:44.760
<v Speaker 2>that's today. That's what Putin basically winning and getting everything

0:26:44.760 --> 0:26:47.440
<v Speaker 2>he wants right now. Imagine if somehow, someway we gave

0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:51.000
<v Speaker 2>enough that somehow Putin got pushed back, and we had

0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Ukrainians moving into Moscow. Come on, what's going to happen?

0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:57.159
<v Speaker 2>Then then he's really going to use a nuke, and

0:26:57.200 --> 0:27:01.359
<v Speaker 2>then we've really done it. I just I've never understood

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:04.040
<v Speaker 2>the idea that we can prolong this war enough that Ukrainian,

0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:05.920
<v Speaker 2>the Ukrainian people can somehow win.

0:27:06.400 --> 0:27:07.680
<v Speaker 3>I just I've just never gotten it.

0:27:08.960 --> 0:27:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, So I always think about China and Taiwan whenever

0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:14.560
<v Speaker 1>we're having this conversation, and there's there's a quote that

0:27:14.680 --> 0:27:16.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's been verified or not, but

0:27:16.480 --> 0:27:21.680
<v Speaker 1>apparently Trump said at some point to someone, if China

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:24.920
<v Speaker 1>decides they're gonna take Taiwan, They're gonna take Taiwan. Because

0:27:24.960 --> 0:27:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a similar situation. Are we gonna go

0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:28.720
<v Speaker 1>to war with China over that?

0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:29.080
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:27:29.320 --> 0:27:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Or not?

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:32.119
<v Speaker 3>No? No it.

0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:35.160
<v Speaker 2>I think if we tried to take Mexico, we would

0:27:35.160 --> 0:27:37.280
<v Speaker 2>take Mexico. I just think it's the same, like, no

0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:39.560
<v Speaker 2>one's gonna stop us. If we wanted to take Mexico, Yeah,

0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:41.399
<v Speaker 2>we would take a black eye. The liberals would scream

0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:45.800
<v Speaker 2>about it, but it's it's not gonna stop it. I just, yeah,

0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:48.520
<v Speaker 2>I feel the same way I just I have family

0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:51.160
<v Speaker 2>friends that just the grandparents just moved back to Taiwan,

0:27:51.200 --> 0:27:54.000
<v Speaker 2>and I said, man, aren't they worried? And the response was,

0:27:54.200 --> 0:27:56.040
<v Speaker 2>they're eighty five, they're not too You know, if they

0:27:56.040 --> 0:27:57.680
<v Speaker 2>get taken over by China at this point, you know

0:27:57.680 --> 0:28:00.560
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna ride it out that way. But I feel

0:28:00.600 --> 0:28:03.320
<v Speaker 2>the same way. I just think Taiwan is there. We're

0:28:03.320 --> 0:28:04.640
<v Speaker 2>not going to go to war over Taiwan.

0:28:05.280 --> 0:28:05.760
<v Speaker 3>We're just not.

0:28:06.800 --> 0:28:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's gonna be a much different world in the

0:28:08.880 --> 0:28:11.840
<v Speaker 1>near future because of China controls that entire chunk of

0:28:11.840 --> 0:28:15.760
<v Speaker 1>the ocean, the free sea lanes of the world that

0:28:15.800 --> 0:28:20.920
<v Speaker 1>we have uh kept for eighty years. That'll be the

0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:23.520
<v Speaker 1>end of that. But like the guy from Cato said,

0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 1>this was a blip in time. The history of the

0:28:26.000 --> 0:28:29.040
<v Speaker 1>world is more like what's coming and what has been.

0:28:30.320 --> 0:28:31.760
<v Speaker 1>That's really interesting stuff.

0:28:32.119 --> 0:28:37.080
<v Speaker 3>Warfare has always been about. Miight makes right. It's just yeah,

0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:37.720
<v Speaker 3>that is.

0:28:37.600 --> 0:28:38.400
<v Speaker 2>That is, you know.

0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't have a I don't have a

0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:43.000
<v Speaker 1>counter to that. At this point, I could see where

0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Europe might decide it's there and there. They didn't and

0:28:46.720 --> 0:28:48.640
<v Speaker 1>they're not going to I mean, if they were going

0:28:48.640 --> 0:28:50.320
<v Speaker 1>to you would have thought they would have earlier. I

0:28:50.320 --> 0:28:52.800
<v Speaker 1>could see how Europe, since it's their own damn backyard,

0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:55.080
<v Speaker 1>would decide we're gonna put up quite a fight here.

0:28:55.080 --> 0:28:57.560
<v Speaker 1>But they didn't. I mean, I mean, and they were

0:28:57.600 --> 0:29:01.400
<v Speaker 1>willing to continue to I mean, we canceled the nord

0:29:01.440 --> 0:29:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Stream pipeline.

0:29:02.400 --> 0:29:04.920
<v Speaker 5>The uh.

0:29:06.640 --> 0:29:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Germany was all for continuing to buy natural gas from

0:29:10.480 --> 0:29:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Russia after the war started. So yeah, that's just the

0:29:16.960 --> 0:29:19.520
<v Speaker 1>reality of the world. I may have moved on this topic,

0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:23.360
<v Speaker 1>it took me three years to get shocking. It's I

0:29:23.360 --> 0:29:25.320
<v Speaker 1>can't I can't believe how long it's gone on again.

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:25.840
<v Speaker 3>Again.

0:29:26.160 --> 0:29:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I think it's restraint of Putin that's allowed to even

0:29:28.680 --> 0:29:31.840
<v Speaker 1>go on this long, because I think he probably could

0:29:31.840 --> 0:29:33.880
<v Speaker 1>have won this thing earlier had he been even more

0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:36.760
<v Speaker 1>brutal and violent. And you know, the guy, the guy

0:29:36.880 --> 0:29:39.880
<v Speaker 1>is a he's a lizard, he's a shark. He I

0:29:39.880 --> 0:29:42.040
<v Speaker 1>think he's played this thing just about perfectly. And I

0:29:42.080 --> 0:29:44.520
<v Speaker 1>can't I can't even fathom when we get these hot

0:29:44.560 --> 0:29:47.880
<v Speaker 1>mic moments of Trump saying to Macrone, I think he

0:29:47.920 --> 0:29:50.040
<v Speaker 1>wants to do a deal for me. I mean, come on,

0:29:53.160 --> 0:29:55.400
<v Speaker 1>it's Trump dealing with this is better than Biden, but

0:29:55.440 --> 0:29:57.160
<v Speaker 1>not a whole hell of a lot better. After I

0:29:57.200 --> 0:30:00.680
<v Speaker 1>hear things like that, well, well that's one of the

0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:02.400
<v Speaker 1>reasons I wanted to have you on was talk about

0:30:02.400 --> 0:30:03.720
<v Speaker 1>that to get that point of view on and I

0:30:03.760 --> 0:30:06.400
<v Speaker 1>may I may be convinced at this point. Hey, Craig, Gotwalls.

0:30:06.440 --> 0:30:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Appreciate your time today on all these different topics. You're

0:30:08.760 --> 0:30:10.480
<v Speaker 1>a smart guy and like hearing what you have to

0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:12.960
<v Speaker 1>talk about. And again, if somebody has healthcare questions, you

0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:15.000
<v Speaker 1>run a business, you need advice, how do they get

0:30:15.000 --> 0:30:16.800
<v Speaker 1>a hold of you?

0:30:16.840 --> 0:30:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Got Walls, two t's one l dot substack dot com.

0:30:20.440 --> 0:30:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, thanks, Greg, appreciate it. I want to tell you

0:30:23.200 --> 0:30:25.040
<v Speaker 1>about Simply Safe because I just think it's a really

0:30:25.080 --> 0:30:27.880
<v Speaker 1>really good idea to have home security of some sort,

0:30:27.880 --> 0:30:29.360
<v Speaker 1>and you might as well have the best and one

0:30:29.360 --> 0:30:31.400
<v Speaker 1>where you're not locked into a contract. A lot of

0:30:31.400 --> 0:30:33.360
<v Speaker 1>those companies they lock you into a contract because they

0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:35.480
<v Speaker 1>are afraid you're not going to like it or use

0:30:35.520 --> 0:30:38.200
<v Speaker 1>it and decide you want out. Simply Safe doesn't have

0:30:38.320 --> 0:30:40.040
<v Speaker 1>to do that because they know you're gonna like it

0:30:40.080 --> 0:30:41.720
<v Speaker 1>and you are going to use it. No contracts, no

0:30:41.800 --> 0:30:44.560

<v Speaker 1>Ukraine war? If you do, I'd like to hear it

0:31:19.120 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 1>on the text line at four one five two nine

0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:25.920
<v Speaker 1>five KFTC. Otherwise, we got some other stuff to move into.

0:31:26.320 --> 0:31:29.520
<v Speaker 1>So the Cracker Barrel remodeled, getting so much damn attention.

0:31:29.600 --> 0:31:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Of course, Hooters is trying to make a big push

0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:36.360
<v Speaker 1>for a comeback with like a new vibe Hooters of

0:31:36.400 --> 0:31:40.600
<v Speaker 1>all places, but a lot of the way stay here arms.

0:31:43.800 --> 0:31:49.400
<v Speaker 1>The Oakland A's baseball team now plays in Sacramento, California.

0:31:49.440 --> 0:31:52.440
<v Speaker 1>That's where this radio show is based. Actually they play

0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:56.600
<v Speaker 1>in Westsak, which is its own individual town West Sacramento anyway,

0:31:56.640 --> 0:31:59.320
<v Speaker 1>So it's been very exciting that this major league baseball

0:31:59.360 --> 0:32:02.720
<v Speaker 1>team is playing this tiny minor league park, and so

0:32:02.960 --> 0:32:05.840
<v Speaker 1>you can go to these major League baseball games and

0:32:06.960 --> 0:32:11.120
<v Speaker 1>the worst seat there is quite possibly the best seat

0:32:11.160 --> 0:32:13.920
<v Speaker 1>you've ever had in a major League baseball game. I mean,

0:32:13.960 --> 0:32:16.760
<v Speaker 1>it's that much smaller than a major league baseball parkt

0:32:16.760 --> 0:32:19.120
<v Speaker 1>what does it seat, like eleven thousand or nine thousand

0:32:19.200 --> 0:32:22.200
<v Speaker 1>or stuff like that as opposed to fifty five thousand

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:26.360
<v Speaker 1>if you go to a regular But they beat Detroit

0:32:26.440 --> 0:32:30.360
<v Speaker 1>last night. Yeah, it's on one game, doesn't really matter.

0:32:30.400 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 1>The A's are in last place. But so it made

0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:36.640
<v Speaker 1>me look up the where the baseball season is currently.

0:32:36.640 --> 0:32:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a hardcore fan. I will watch when the

0:32:38.600 --> 0:32:41.080
<v Speaker 1>playoffs start. They're about one hundred and thirty games in.

0:32:41.600 --> 0:32:43.760
<v Speaker 1>They play one hundred and sixty two per year, so

0:32:43.800 --> 0:32:46.320
<v Speaker 1>we've got about thirty games left. Do you know what

0:32:46.360 --> 0:32:49.080
<v Speaker 1>team has the best record in all of Major League Baseball?

0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:52.960
<v Speaker 1>It's the Milwaukee Brewers with eighty two wins in the

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:57.200
<v Speaker 1>National League. They've won seven more games than the LA Dodgers,

0:32:57.360 --> 0:33:00.360
<v Speaker 1>who have a payroll of about nine Quinn trillion dollars

0:33:00.560 --> 0:33:02.680
<v Speaker 1>and have tried to buy every All Star that exists

0:33:02.720 --> 0:33:05.760
<v Speaker 1>in the entire sport. So the Brewers are way ahead

0:33:05.760 --> 0:33:08.280
<v Speaker 1>of the Dodgers in terms of a record. So that

0:33:08.440 --> 0:33:09.840
<v Speaker 1>is going to be a fun one to watch. They

0:33:09.920 --> 0:33:12.720
<v Speaker 1>might be on a collision course, the Dodgers and the Brewers,

0:33:12.840 --> 0:33:15.640
<v Speaker 1>and perhaps the pottery is also in the Phillies. But

0:33:16.040 --> 0:33:18.480
<v Speaker 1>would love to see the Dodgers Brewers man. You talk

0:33:18.480 --> 0:33:22.480
<v Speaker 1>about a tiny market against the biggest of big dogs. Yeah,

0:33:22.520 --> 0:33:25.840
<v Speaker 1>that would be pretty fun. Different story. We've been a

0:33:25.840 --> 0:33:30.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of talk about Cracker Barrel in their remodel, which

0:33:30.640 --> 0:33:32.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't like, the looks of the new insides, if

0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:35.000
<v Speaker 1>that's actually going to happen, and whether or not it's

0:33:35.000 --> 0:33:36.960
<v Speaker 1>woke or not, and all that different sort of stuff.

0:33:37.400 --> 0:33:40.480
<v Speaker 1>What do you call that kind of dining? There's a

0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:45.080
<v Speaker 1>name for it. Is it comfort food or I don't know,

0:33:45.120 --> 0:33:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why you call the place like your Applebee's,

0:33:47.840 --> 0:33:53.600
<v Speaker 1>your Chili's, your cracker barrels. They're not fast food. There's

0:33:53.640 --> 0:33:56.640
<v Speaker 1>a name for it. This is chain restaurants. Yeah, they're chains,

0:33:56.720 --> 0:33:58.959
<v Speaker 1>but there's a name for that kind of dining anyway,

0:33:59.000 --> 0:34:01.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's it's obviously a way a step ahead

0:34:02.400 --> 0:34:07.240
<v Speaker 1>above fast food, but it's certainly not fancy by any means.

0:34:07.600 --> 0:34:09.759
<v Speaker 1>Is Hooters? I think Hooters is one of those too,

0:34:10.000 --> 0:34:13.360
<v Speaker 1>But yeahs obviously had its own brand for the chicks

0:34:13.400 --> 0:34:18.120
<v Speaker 1>wearing those ridiculous outfits. I mean, they're just stupid looking outfits.

0:34:18.200 --> 0:34:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't care how hot you are, it's still a

0:34:20.280 --> 0:34:21.520
<v Speaker 1>stupid looking outfit.

0:34:21.640 --> 0:34:23.600
<v Speaker 6>Apparently it's referred to as casual dining.

0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:27.359
<v Speaker 1>I think it's casual fast or some people call it

0:34:27.400 --> 0:34:28.399
<v Speaker 1>brass and glass, but.

0:34:28.520 --> 0:34:32.120
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, Hooters totally falls into that with their raunchy outfits.

0:34:32.600 --> 0:34:37.840
<v Speaker 6>So they were calling it a breastrant by the way.

0:34:38.360 --> 0:34:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and we've never quite understood the hubbub over Hooters

0:34:43.760 --> 0:34:48.920
<v Speaker 1>because it's a sports bar with young attractive women wearing

0:34:49.120 --> 0:34:51.719
<v Speaker 1>shorts and tank tops. You know what other sports bars

0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:54.680
<v Speaker 1>are out like that? Every single one of them in

0:34:54.760 --> 0:34:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the country is like that. Young attractive women usually barked

0:34:58.080 --> 0:34:59.959
<v Speaker 1>in there because they make good tips and they wear

0:35:00.160 --> 0:35:02.360
<v Speaker 1>shorts and tak tops. So I know Hooters is nothing

0:35:02.480 --> 0:35:05.279
<v Speaker 1>different than that. But anyway, apparently there's a I don't

0:35:05.280 --> 0:35:07.680
<v Speaker 1>know anything about the Hooters business model, don't quote me

0:35:07.680 --> 0:35:10.040
<v Speaker 1>onto this, I don't care, but they were going out

0:35:10.040 --> 0:35:12.640
<v Speaker 1>of business, or one section of them was going out

0:35:12.680 --> 0:35:15.840
<v Speaker 1>of business, or fifty locations I know were bankrupt. And

0:35:15.880 --> 0:35:18.840
<v Speaker 1>they're so they're trying to come up with a rebrand

0:35:18.960 --> 0:35:23.719
<v Speaker 1>where perhaps the girls wear longer orange shorts but still

0:35:23.760 --> 0:35:29.560
<v Speaker 1>the tank tops. But according to their website, they're still

0:35:29.600 --> 0:35:34.520
<v Speaker 1>looking for servers who will maintain a glamorous hairstyle and

0:35:34.600 --> 0:35:38.840
<v Speaker 1>have the ability to maintain attractive an attractive fit image.

0:35:39.239 --> 0:35:42.960
<v Speaker 6>Oh oh, there's the problem right there.

0:35:43.360 --> 0:35:45.239
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know. We were talking with Tim the

0:35:45.320 --> 0:35:48.719
<v Speaker 1>lawyer about this earlier where this moving company might be

0:35:48.840 --> 0:35:52.440
<v Speaker 1>in trouble because they only hire young, strong men to

0:35:52.520 --> 0:35:55.960
<v Speaker 1>move furniture. They're not hiring a lot of sixty three

0:35:56.040 --> 0:35:58.719
<v Speaker 1>year olds with a bad back. And whether or not

0:35:58.800 --> 0:36:01.160
<v Speaker 1>that you know, is an equal employment problem or whatever,

0:36:01.440 --> 0:36:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what Hooter, what situation Hooters is in

0:36:03.920 --> 0:36:08.319
<v Speaker 1>If you have to have a glamorous hairstyling according to

0:36:08.360 --> 0:36:11.640
<v Speaker 1>who them, and maintain an attractive and fit image.

0:36:11.760 --> 0:36:14.359
<v Speaker 6>See, that's where all of my red flags are going up,

0:36:14.400 --> 0:36:18.600
<v Speaker 6>because here comes the body positivity people going well, technically,

0:36:18.600 --> 0:36:20.800
<v Speaker 6>according to my doctor, I'm perfectly healthy.

0:36:22.040 --> 0:36:23.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how you get around that stuff. I mean,

0:36:23.960 --> 0:36:28.479
<v Speaker 1>I've known people who ran sportscar bars. I've known owners

0:36:28.520 --> 0:36:32.239
<v Speaker 1>who owned sports bars, and all the chicks at work

0:36:32.320 --> 0:36:35.960
<v Speaker 1>there were attractive and wear shorts and taktops. But I

0:36:36.000 --> 0:36:38.320
<v Speaker 1>don't think anybody said anything. I don't think it was

0:36:38.360 --> 0:36:42.040
<v Speaker 1>a rule. It's just he hired people that he thought

0:36:42.120 --> 0:36:44.520
<v Speaker 1>would look good and they knew what they were supposed

0:36:44.520 --> 0:36:47.200
<v Speaker 1>to wear or were perfectly happy wearing that, because that

0:36:47.280 --> 0:36:49.040
<v Speaker 1>was what's going to make the most tips. I don't

0:36:49.080 --> 0:36:52.080
<v Speaker 1>know that it had to be in writing. Hmmm, well,

0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:54.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll see if Hooter does away with those ridiculous shorts

0:36:55.120 --> 0:36:57.360
<v Speaker 1>and having them wear them. Do they still wear the Nylons?

0:36:57.360 --> 0:36:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I haven't. I think I've been in a Hooters once

0:36:59.480 --> 0:37:00.960
<v Speaker 1>in my life and I thought this is not my

0:37:01.080 --> 0:37:04.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of place. Yeah, they were the Nylons with the

0:37:04.480 --> 0:37:08.000
<v Speaker 1>stupid little I have not been since high school. I'm

0:37:08.080 --> 0:37:10.320
<v Speaker 1>next to a Hooters. As a drunk, I lived the

0:37:10.360 --> 0:37:12.440
<v Speaker 1>block away from a Hooters. I never went in there.
