Your local air traffic controllers? 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:49.560 Why is that our general manager? 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:55.400 Our nation's idiotic, antiquated, dysfunctional, dangerous air traffic control system 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:59.520 is under scrutiny, and by Gully, the Secretary of Transportation. 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.680 In contrast to the last one, it was useless. 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:05.000 He says he's gonna fix it. 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.800 We're gonna have a major all overall bring it into 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:08.760 the twenty first century. 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:09.160 Yeah. 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.920 Well, I'll believe that when I see it. I believe it. 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:13.080 I believe it firmly. 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.560 There is a guy in the White House, mister non believer, 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.360 who was willing to shake things up. I was reading 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.800 about the contrast between Pete boot Ed Jedge, who kept 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:26.240 trying to blame the airlines for the miserable state of 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:27.679 our air traffic control system. 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.960 And Trump's guy is saying, no, this is terrible. We've 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:32.800 got to rebuild it. That we've got to take on 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:33.600 that challenge. 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:37.520 It's great, that is good, but how has it been 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:41.400 this bad for this long? The stories yesterday of well, 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:43.680 fill us in on the headline story that got this 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:45.160 conversation started yesterday. 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:50.680 Well, there was a loss of radar availability for sixty 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:54.480 to ninety seconds at the incredibly busy, dysfunctional Newark Airport 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:58.360 right outside of New York City and forty thousand pass 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.240 It carries forty thousand passengers day, and it left the 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.760 control tower unable to communicate with any incoming aircraft, which 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.840 led to all sorts of chaos and fear and then 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:09.520 cascading delays. 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.760 And for just a minute and a half, they couldn't 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.200 talk to anybody, or couldn't hear anybody, didn't know anybody. 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.880 Was, and the pilots were just talking to each other saying, hey, 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.239 I just heard that they've got no radar contact. 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:20.720 Oh really, holy cow? 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.360 Well, okay, so everybody was just kind of improvising and 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.400 then trying to stay safe during that time. But it 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.200 is a beautiful example which was well, I guess so 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:34.440 animated and started literally pounding the table. It is a 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:39.440 perfect example of nobody in government willing to say this 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:42.280 needs to be fixed. Here's what needs to be fixed, 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.240 here's how we're going to fix it. Let's do this. 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:48.040 No, they just collect their paychecks and shuffle their paper. Well, right, 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.120 get into how long this has been going on. So 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.079 then the stories throughout the day of like they got 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.760 computers running floppy discs. Yeah, I mean so how many 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:56.760 decades ago is that? 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:57.440 The eighties? 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.320 Yeah, administration after minute stra has just kind of kicked 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.480 the can down the road, to cite the cliche. 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.600 So that's the frustrating thing, and everybody should be frustrated. 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.280 But even if you're a big government liberal, you should 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:11.440 be frustrated by that. 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:12.880 I'm not. 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:17.840 But we spend so much freaking money on so many 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:18.880 freaking things. 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:20.000 Yeah, and you. 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:23.520 Can't update a computer in air traffic control from something 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.440 that uses floppy disks along the way. 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:27.080 Yeah. 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.680 Well, if there were three competing companies and private companies 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:32.679 and one of them was run that poorly, it would 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.240 go away in the blink of an eye. It would 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.920 go out of business. And and good riddance to it, 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:43.360 because it's a government monopoly. It continues with its its awful, wasteful, 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:48.000 dangerous dysfunction, you know, year after a year, but not anymore. 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.360 I say, put him in alcatra. Whoever is in charge 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:54.560 of that, put him in Alcola drive. Yes, everything. Trump 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.440 doubled down. He said, you know who else will put 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.560 an alcatraz? Those judges who won't let us do our immigration. 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:01.960 Yes. I didn't hear that. 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.240 Yes, fill it up and then like go upward, make 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.400 it four or five stories high, whatever it takes. 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.720 They're gonna put the judges in alcatraz. I feel like 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:12.000 that's a controversial statement. 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.320 Yes, but he didn't mean it, Which brings me to 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.839 another thing I'm kind of anxious to talk about, excited 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:20.400 to talk about. 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.479 Nobody paid attention other than a couple of. 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:29.600 Snippets to Trump's commencement speech at University of Alabama. Matthew 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:33.520 Countinetti did. He watched the whole thing, and he said 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:38.200 it was really an amazing distillation of Trump's life philosophy, 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.000 and it struck me in reading it. Essentially, Trump goes 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.080 through the ten points he thinks are most important for 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:45.600 being successful in life. 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:47.880 And number one get a hot wife. 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.880 It struck me, and then Trader in when you know 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:54.120 you get tired of her. It struck me that the 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.680 media especially spends a lot of time talking about stuff 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:03.400 Trump clearly doesn't mean, and then ignores when he says, 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.839 all right, here's what I really believe. And he's clearly 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.040 being sincere because it's not as exciting. But we'll go 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.320 through that speech. I think you'll find it interesting. 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:14.080 Okay, that's cool. 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.719 It won't be nearly as fascinating as the incritasies of 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:20.919 air traffic control, but it'll be good. 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:22.719 I am. 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:24.680 I think today's my last day. I think today's the 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.400 day I finally die from this disease I've got. So 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.440 I suppose anything I've got to say I should say today. 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:31.359 Since I'm probably gonna die. 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.960 How does it work with your last words? I mean, 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.599 at doing what we do for a living. You could say, okay, 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.680 these are my last words. The only thing that matters 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:45.320 is family and God. But then by contract, we have 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.600 to keep talking. So and you'd hate for your last 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:53.200 words to be We'll talk about Trump's commencement speech in 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:53.720 just a minute. 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:57.120 Stay with us. You know that would be dumb trouble 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.479 with the royal family. Those are my last words. That'd 0:05:59.480 --> 0:05:59.960 be horrible. 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.080 The conclave stretches on, will bring you an update. Yeah, 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:07.640 that would that would be terrible. So let's just designate 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.200 your last words then I will I will agree to 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:13.240 promote them as quote unquote your last words, right, that 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:13.640 is it. 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:17.520 Yes, historians, because historians have obviously would be writing about me, 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:21.039 would say his last words were highlights from the Diddy trial. 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:28.599 Nobody knows why my last words are my last words? 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.200 Will be a list of the people I hate the most. 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.440 That'll be That's what I'm going to go with.

So yeah, I 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:51.920 got the idea that, yeah, he's kind of a perv 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:53.880 and may have done these things, but now the government 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:55.920 has to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. That's an 0:10:55.960 --> 0:11:00.320 easy proposition to internalize for me anyway. And what did 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.520 our reporter just say there? It's just some adults engaging 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.400 in conceptual sex. Quit being such a prude. 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:09.679 So it's funny. A couple of things just clicked into 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:13.960 my head. One of the themes of the Cane Mutiny, 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.000 which I just read, the classic World War two novel, 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.320 which is just you think you're reading a great book. 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:25.000 Then you get to the end and you realize you've 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.439 been reading a really, really great book. 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:28.480 Cool, I've never read it. 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:33.439 Just it's again, it's an incredibly compelling narrative. And then 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.640 the theme kind of gets flipped on its head at 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.040 the end and the author I'm not going to give 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:45.120 away too much here, but the author essentially says, yeah, 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.199 how do I I don't want to spoil this even 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:53.440 though it's a many several generations old novel, because you're 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:57.360 taking on an emotional intellectual journey, very much like the 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:01.560 characters in the novel, and then at the end you 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:05.280 learn something as they're learning something. I will just say that, 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:10.280 and I found it absolutely fascinating and just an author 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.520 that brilliant ought have the reputation does Anyway, the. 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.679 Book is three quarters of a century old. 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:17.760 I think you get a pass for spoilers on books 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:18.600 that old, but it's up to you. 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:19.600 I don't know. 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.200 I'm thinking about our relationship with the good folks in 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:22.679 the audience. 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:24.559 They're thinking the Cane Mutiny. I've never read that I'm 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.079 gonna read. I don't want to ruin it for them. 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:31.839 Ahab never catches the whale. What you know, I tell 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:32.040 you what. 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:33.160 I will. 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:40.200 Reveal the odd parallel between the Cane Mutiny and our 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:45.679 jury system. Right after this, okay, we got news of 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.600 the headlines mail bag, all the stuff Trump's serious about, 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.000 the whole pay and illegals to get out of the 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.439 buying a plane ticket and giving them some cash to 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.960 have him get out. Christi Noma says, one person has 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:59.360 taken advantage of that program so far, one like the 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:00.120 number one. 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.959 Hey, it's a start, an acorn, oak tree, et cetera. 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.080 Longest journey, one step, et cetera. Yes, right, all on 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:07.360 the way. 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:20.800 Say here, Mark Alprin writing that really there are two stories, 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:25.440 really only. I mean, if you're following politics, how this 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.439 tariff thing turns out and everything else, those are the 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:32.000 two stories. That's how big the tariff thing is. It's 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.440 that and everything else. I mean, this is going to 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:41.640 be insanely disruptive if it goes the way most people predict. 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:44.880 Yes, and it's going to start landing soon. 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:48.400 And nobody's sure exactly how it's gonna go though, who 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.120 means what how long it's gonna last? It's just question marks, 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:55.079 pylon question marks. So a couple of things. First of all, 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:56.840 one of the one of the themes, one of the 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:00.439 interesting things said in the King Mutiny is by one 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.680 of the officers who was explaining to another guy. Look, 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:08.640 the United States Navy is a system designed by geniuses 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:14.360 to be run by idiots. In other words, it's designed 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.160 so that even if there's an idiot in a position, 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:21.520 it continues to function and minimizes the damage done by 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:25.000 the idiot. I go further down that road because it's 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:29.200 really interesting. But that's what was said. The jury system, 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:34.200 and I've had the privilege and the really interesting experience 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.280 of serving on a handful of juries and being in 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:41.400 a couple more jury pools. It is a system designed 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.240 by geniuses. 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:45.960 To be implemented by idiots. 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:50.520 Every single jury I have been part of, and it's 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.760 just been two or three, have had people on there 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:59.360 who scared me. They were incapable of rational thought. So 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:05.400 I understand, Yeah, I assume you have to assume that 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:09.840 that's always the case. I more often than not, I 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:14.720 would guess. You know, the multiple of anecdote does not 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:19.000 equal data. But the more I saw, the more disturbed 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.320 I was. There are some people who react completely emotionally. 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.720 They can't think critically. They're easily swayed by their own 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:29.040 prejudices to the point that you think this person is 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:36.080 an idiot. And prosecutors know this, and so that's why 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.640 jury selection is so important, and they're looking for things 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:42.440 you wouldn't even guess. They just want people who can 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:43.440 listen to evidence. 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:45.400 Anyway. 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:47.840 I'd go into detail, but we're pressed for time. Can't 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:49.880 wait for Katie to get back tomorrow so she can 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.600 handle the news headlines during this segment Number one, because 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.440 it's fun. Number two, it's less work for us, but 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:58.520 a handful of things going on, big stories. First of all, 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:02.560 we've got one guess per hour for our four hours 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:04.920 to talk about the MET gala and the fashions, the 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:06.600 incredible outfits we saw there. 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:10.160 God, that is. The coverage that that gets is just incredible. 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.720 It is so for those familiar with our reference it's 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.800 a reenactment of the Capital from the Hunger Games movies. 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:18.760 Well, I've never seen. 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:24.520 A super rich adorned in bizarro fashions completely drowning in 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.040 their own self regard, living in a world that's so 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:30.280 foreign from the rest of ours, and it's unrecognizable from 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.120 either side. Well, right, And it fits in with a 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:33.960 theme I've mentioned, like in the last week or so, 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.560 about the number of people in America that don't want 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.080 to live that lifestyle and the people who live that 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.560 lifestyle don't believe it. Trust me, I don't want to 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:44.080 be at the gal at the MET. It's not because 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:48.200 I'm jealous or anything like that. I sincerely actually don't 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:51.200 want to be part of that crowd and not out 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:51.920 of any sort. 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.480 Of reverse makes me cool. I just think it's. 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.040 Ridiculous because you don't know what designer to go with, 0:16:58.520 --> 0:16:59.800 Armani or Gavinci. 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.080 So all your talk about it, you're not making me 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:03.560 feel like I'm left out or anything. 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:04.119 Trust me. 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.280 So Israel proved plans to seize all of the Gaza strip, 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:12.200 Germany's in chaos because their newly formed government just got 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:15.399 voted out. Essentially, it's really pretty interesting and some really 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:19.239 fun conclave history. If you're into the Pope coming up, 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:19.960 stay with us. 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:26.879 More to come, Armstrong and Getty games off to Brown 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:36.800 Bridges there they want to come back. You're gonna game 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:40.960 one when for New York. A couple of upsets last night. 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:45.679 Denver upset okay See and the Knicks upset the Celtics 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:49.159 game one of the semi finals. Great games. Knicks were 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.879 down by twenty. But here's the interesting thing. I'm watching 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:55.240 more basketball because I'm sick. I'm seeing more. But the 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:58.560 sport has changed so much. There was a record set 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:01.240 last week in three pointers. Celtics beat it. Last night 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:06.640 they lost by one basket in overtime, missing forty. 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.800 Five three pointers the game is just so different. 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.679 People come flying down the court on a fast break, 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:16.199 doesn't matter. If there's no defense under the basket, you 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.640 could get wide open shots of any length. Everybody takes 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.320 a three pointer as if that's the only option. That's 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:25.280 just the way the game is now. And I don't 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:28.000 know why they've all decided that's a good idea. Why 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.280 there isn't a team that has said, hey, you know, 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:33.159 for the last eighty years of the sport, you throw 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:34.879 it to a guy who makes a twelve footer. 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:36.560 And it's a gimme every single time. 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:41.199 But they data, they don't data. They've all done the 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:44.320 cybermetrics thing. They've analyzed if we take a. 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.560 Certain number of three point shots so we're more likely 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:47.880 to win. 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:50.120 Well, I to. 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:51.520 Assume they know more about it than I do. But 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.640 they missed forty five three pointers. 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:55.920 That's amazing. 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:59.040 Well, Jack, as a student of warfare, you'd be certainly 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:04.080 familiar with this concept. If the defenses evolve to, you know, 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:07.880 defend against that philosophy, that's when you shake it up. 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:09.280 I would think, So, you know, maybe. 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:10.960 You're right, you're actually ahead of your time. 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:14.640 I just came across this. I thought this was. 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:19.440 Really good or writing about again. And then I was 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:21.640 reading this piece today about how there are really only 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.920 two political stories out there, the tariff story and everything else. 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:26.919 That's how big the whole tariff thing is, because if 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.600 it goes the direction most people are predicting, it'll be 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:33.879 the only story maybe on the planet, the loan in 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:35.320 the United States, and. 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:39.480 Then we'll be dealing with shortages of both pencils and dolls. 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.640 President right, hey, do you have that Coldbert joke? Play 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:46.440 that Coldbert joke about the dolls? It's just too good. 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:49.719 The crazy continued on Air Force One when Trump doubled 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:50.720 down on the dollies. 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:55.640 Fifteen year old does indeed thirty seven dollars, she can 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:57.760 be very happy with two or three or. 0:19:57.680 --> 0:19:58.320 Four or five. 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:01.520 Buddy, teen year old girl is not going to be 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:05.120 happy with two or three or four or five dolls, 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:08.639 because a fifteen year old girl isn't happy with anything. 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:14.560 And if you, like me, are a parent of a 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:17.000 teenager and I have, that's what dad, I have. 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:20.520 Boys, It makes me feel better to hear that, because it's. 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:22.920 Just like, how am I failing so badly that he's 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:24.120 constantly miserable? 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:26.520 Boy? 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:31.439 And it's notably different with girls too. There's a special Oh. 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.800 My god, if it's another level of that, I can't 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:35.480 even imagine. 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:40.800
