And 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:41.639 if you say no, I think we both know that's 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.040 not true. Hey, are they shaped by is that? 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:44.240 It is? 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:49.440 Are they coordinating with the Israeli government? Are they talking?

Yes? 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:08.760 Tucker Carlson in one of his less unfair grillings of 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:13.080 Ted Cruz, there an interview we discussion we featured yesterday 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:13.559 on the show. 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.640 Yeah, we played a lot of it. Yeah. Interesting. 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.480 As much as we've admired Tucker through the years, he's 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:23.920 he's become a forceful advocate for something I'm sure exactly what. 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.039 He's one of the most unfair arguers in the history 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:31.920 of arguing. And Jack discussing that yesterday offered to argue 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.920 like Tucker Carlson and it was a tour to force 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:42.320 nineteen Michael. He senses when you are at all a 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.800 rhetorical threat to you, and that's when he employs his 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:47.040 various trickeries. 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:51.120 What do you mean by threat if you're just threatening me? 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.480 Is that what you're doing? No, No, is that what 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:55.800 you're doing? Threat? Well, you just said threat? Would you 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:57.800 like to rewind the tape? And by the way, why 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.360 are you being so defensive all of a sudden, gotten 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.920 very very defensive? And I just wonder it must I 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:05.800 must have hit a hot spot with you or something 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:07.640 to be so defensive and then to threaten me. 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.240 Jack arguing like Tucker Carlson. 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:18.120 Yeah, it's it's a Tangents are the key. You want 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.720 to drive someone crazy. You're trying to have a conversation 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.760 about a particular topic, and Tucker takes it off into 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.840 left field and he bates people into like defending something 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:31.880 that they weren't even wanting to talk about. 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:37.720 Important, Right, he bates them into defending his twisted version 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:38.600 of what they're saying. 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:42.119 Right, Yeah, we just called a fleazy feline. 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.320 Oh that's out of bounds. Right there, we're told this 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.200 is very amusing. Let's find out together. It's a comedian 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:57.680 Ami Kozak Tucker Carlson versus Tucker Carlson, which number twelve? 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.400 Michael, didn't you support Donald Trump? Of course I did, Yes, 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:01.880 I can't paign for him. And you know he's been 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.960 very pro Israel. He supports Israel. Doesn't that mean by 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:06.360 extension you support his role? 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:07.960 Why does that? It doesn't mean that at all? Like 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.000 at all? Why don't you support Donald Trump if he 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:11.360 supported his roll? Why would you do that? 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:12.880 I don't see why you would do that if it's 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:14.640 against your values as an American? 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.519 I mean, well, what do you what do you want? 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.160 I mean, you support your candidate who probably supports is Roe. 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:21.080 I would think you was supported his roll. 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.000 Why would you support a candidate's supports is Roel If 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.840 you don't support his wrong, why would you contradict yourself? Well, 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:26.520 not as much as you're contradicting yourself. I mean, it's 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:28.160 speaking on both sides of your mouth. I mean, do 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:28.760 you have two moules? 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.560 I don't. Well, there's two miles you're talking. But once 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:39.760 I's being consistent one size now and then they explode. 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.880 Like the clip we played yesterday where Ted Cruz mentions 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:47.960 a Bible verse that like is one of his guiding 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.080 principles and Tucker says, you know, where where is it 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.680 in the Bible? Ted's a I don't remember, But you 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.440 don't know what you're so you're guiding philosophy. You don't 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.960 know where in the Bible that is. I mean, so 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.760 like that sort of thing. Yeah, right, I we're through here. 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:06.160 But I see what you're doing. No, no, no, yeah. 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.960 You can't even cite the chapter. What's the context it's in? 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:12.480 What the chapter of the Bible? 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:16.880 The Bible? I don't know. You don't even know the context. 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.680 So you take a random verse from the Bible out 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.800 of context, and you based your entire world view on it. 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.400 My entire world view it you just said it? What Wait, 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.680 you don't know the population of Iran? How could you 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:33.119 possibly want to stop them from getting a nuclear weapon? 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:37.719 When you don't know the population. Yeah, yep, yep. Well. 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.560 In other news, an appeals court has let Trump keep 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.880 control of the California National Guard troops in LA, quickly 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:49.159 overturning the San Francisco hippie judges in defensible decision the 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.680 other day saying, we conclude it as likely that the 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.720 President lawfully exercise statutory authority. 0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:00.240 And have had it. Does that doesn't the whole LA 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:04.400 riots thing. So it was last Saturday that I drove 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.760 through Los Angeles to take my son to the boy 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.719 Scout camp and I'm picking him up tomorrow, and it 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.039 was all the talk and I was like, what is 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:12.440 it going to be like at the protests and the 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.680 no kings? That seems like that was six years ago. Yeah, 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.760 it was six days ago. Yeah, their ace of news 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.520 and what's important is just it's too much to handle, right, 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:23.080 no kidding. 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:26.560 And there's still unrest and there will be more demonstrations 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.400 and violence, you know at some point. 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:28.760 I don't know. 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.080 I'm not in the mood today, but some of the 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:35.799 poll numbers coming out about Americans' willingness to see law 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:39.680 abiding illegal immigrants rounded up and set out sent out 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:40.880 is not high. 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:42.760 Okay, Well, then you better change the law because the 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:44.080 losses that they need to go. 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.440 Yeah, what I called earlier the Armstrong doctrine, which is 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:54.960 logically absolutely correct, but there's not the will to make 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:55.440 it happen. 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.160 Okay, you can't get far enough down that road. Hey 0:05:58.240 --> 0:05:59.960 find that. I want a list of the other federal 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.120 laws we get to ignore. Oh yeah, yeah, I agree 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:04.760 with you completely. All right. 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:08.560 I'm just politics is the art of the possible jack, 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.200 and I'm telling you, judging by what I see, it's 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.800 not going to be possible to push it as far 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.359 as you're talking about, even though that's a great idea. 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:21.640 Want to hear my favorite headline from today? Yeah, there 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.040 are many good ones, but I like this one. Pope 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:29.160 Leo the fourteenth has many famous cousins, including Madonna, Justin Bieber, 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:33.039 and Moore. Why does why is the pope cousins with 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.240 the Madonna, Justin Bieber and Moore? What why is that? 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.760 I'm not cousins with anybody famous that you know of. 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.599 It's probably a distant cousin thing. 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.800 Oh yeah, I'll bet you're right. Somebody did some sort 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:46.240 of twenty three and me thing. And like, if you 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.720 go far enough out We're all related to Madonna at. 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.040 Some point, right, yeah, God help us. So getting back 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.359 to the unrest in LA. Uh, this is a great 0:06:56.360 --> 0:07:01.080 piece by Heather McDonald. She's talking about, well, the headline 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:05.599 is rioting acceptable? If so, how much a judge shrugged 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.839 off some stray, isolent incidents LA Police sources still a 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:12.520 very different story. We don't have s under control. An 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:16.400 LAPD commander told me on Sunday, it's a godsend that 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:20.120 the National Guard and the Marines are here. Officers on 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.840 the street felt the same way, though the LAPD forbids 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:24.480 them to express that view in public. 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:29.960 The commander said, I must say that an inside source 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:34.080 told me someone with a great deal of knowledge about 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:39.360 this for a very long time, that LAPD is pretty 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.840 unhappy with the lack of funny than beginning. We had 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.560 an ex LAPD guy on I don't remember the guest's 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:48.880 name day after the riots started talking about how many 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:52.240 people they're down from their peak a few years ago. 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:56.080 I mean, like thousands fewer police officers on the street 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.680 than they had a few years ago, and this we're overwhelmed. 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.880 We need the National Guard. We don't have it under control. 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:07.160 Is really a political plea for see, we need more officers, 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:11.120 we need more funding. Is what's driving that, which doesn't 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:15.080 make it phony in any way whatsoever. But that could 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.640 be the willingness to say to people we don't have 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.680 s under control or we're overwhelmed. We want as many 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:22.800 officers as we used. 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:26.280 To have, right, right, And that could just be the 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.360 union talking sure, because they want the payroll and the 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.120 rest of it. You know what it reminds me of, 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:35.960 in a funny way is whenever any like US military 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:39.120 action is discussed, you have a certain segment of the 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:44.160 chattering classes that say, oh so, Ray Theon and McDonald, 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.440 douglas and all, look at the military industrial complex can 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:52.000 get more money, right as if that's a reaction or 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:56.320 a rejection for every possible military action. 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.479 Money and war are in separable. 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:05.480 And what you have to figure out is okay, is 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:09.199 that the defense contractors talking through their mouthpieces on Capitol 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:13.080 Hill or is there actually a legitimate national defense need 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:17.720 here just to say, oh so the military industrial complex 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:22.319 can make more money. That's that's that's not a good argument, yeah, 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:28.040 because that's a constant. There are multiple big city police 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:32.640 forces that are way way down in personnel and completely demoralized. 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.280 I believe that to my bone. Sure. 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.960 And do the unions also have an interest in beefing 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:42.080 up the roles for financial reason? 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.880 Of course? Yeah? Would they be to have more than 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.920 they need? You damn right, they would, right exactly. 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:49.760 That's why you have to look at it as an 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.880 outside of observer or a civilian in charge of those 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:55.600 things and make those judgments. 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.679 Combining the military cost thing with Tucker Tuck. One of 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.640 the things Tucker said to Ted Cruz on that two 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:06.360 hour long thing that I watch was talking about the 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.640 amount of money. You don't know how much money we've 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:12.200 already spent in sending aircraft carriers. I mean, it's got 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.080 to be millions of dollars, and I thought, I'm sure 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.559 somebody could come up with that number. But our aircraft 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.920 carriers are cruising around the sea somewhere, so now they're 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.040 there instead of there. I don't understand how that's an 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:23.720 extra cost. 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.600 Did they burn x amount of extra fuel getting over 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.360 there instead of saying over here? Yeah, but it's like 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.800 you see that all the time. To make things over dramatic, 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:38.760 that it cost five million dollars in firefighting time and equipment, 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.680 which would have just been at the station house earning 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:44.880 that same amount of money if that hadn't happened. So, 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.000 you know, yeah, gotta be careful with that stuff. 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.959 Got a new poll the latest numbers on where people 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:56.440 are meeting in the dating world, going back to nineteen thirty. 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:58.960 We talked about this last year, but there are new 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.520 numbers out now. It turns out in nineteen thirty nobody 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:07.720 met online. Nobody. Wow, it's changed that much. It's changed 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:15.240 that much. Yes, we have that other stuff on the way.

Meanwhile, the Utah 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.680 Jazz are on eBay and nobody's bid anything. 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:32.440 Still waiting for the opening bid was that I can't 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:35.560 imagine why the well, how did jazz come in for 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:36.240 a kicking there? 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:40.800 Well, and small market teams look at Indiana and Oklahoma 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:46.400 City here you're a little rated NBA Finals. So it 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:47.120 finally happened. 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.679 I've I've read these I brought these articles to the 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:53.160 show a couple of times about how young hipsters use 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:57.200 emojis differently than old folks and that the old people 0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.920 need to get hip to it because you're freaking out 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.880 your your young workers by giving him a thumbs up. 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:10.400 Thumbs up means that's terrible. It's the equivalent of oh great, apparently, yeah, I. 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.680 Remember we talked about this before, but thumbs up is 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:17.200 like sarcastic. Well that's great, yes, because my son sends 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:21.800 me completely inappropriately based on my like a grown up 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:25.680 friend set the emoji of the tears streaming down the 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.600 face yes, which usually when adults send it to me, 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:30.520 it's like, you know, I'm really touched by that or 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:34.000 sad about that or whatever. He sends it, like when 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:37.680 he's he sends it when something's funny. He's laughing so hard, 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:38.960 he's crying, and it's. 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:43.040 So it's beyond the tears, just the tears are streaming out. 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.400 He's laughing so hard. Yes, exactly. Well, it's finally happened 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.800 to me. In my real life, my daughter got some 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:56.840 very good news academically and then included the snorting with 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:03.840 anger emoji, and I said, isn't that an angry emoji? 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:08.120 Because that's cool news, and she said, yeah, in this context, it's. 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:12.960 F Yeah, I don't know the snorting with anger emoji, 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.840 what's it look like? I'll send it to the group. 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.560 It's a round yellow faces, Katie, if you could. Yeah, 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:19.439 I'll send it to the group. 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:21.960 I haven't heard that one yet, though, I've only known 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:23.560 that to be like, augh. 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.719 No, yeah, that's that's it. You're just so exasperated, you're 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.400 snorting with anger. Yeah, apparently. 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:34.080 Not like I said, I sent an egg plant to 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.120 Linda in accounting because I thought her. 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:42.920 Report was good, god, accurate. That's how I denote good work. 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:47.400 There's the emoji in question. O, Katie just sent it 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:47.840 to the group. 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.559 I wondered why my phone just went off. I'm quickly 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.199 for that. I had never seen that exactly. I had 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.200 never seen that one before. Ever. 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:58.880 That's the first time I've ever seen that emoji. Yeah, 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.400 oh really, you're an anti emojis. 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:05.040 Yeah, emojis apparently, I remember I don't send emojis and 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.920 I don't text very much, so I guess that's the outside. 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:10.959 But so what do you use that one for? If 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.160 somebody had sent that to me, I. 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:15.160 Thought, what the hell is that? Yeah, to me, it's 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:18.959 I'm really pissed off. But no, it's a LFG. As 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:20.480 the kids say, let's a blanket go. 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:25.440 I'm fired up, you go out on a lemon, just 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.720 say no, it's not that's not what it's for. 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.760 Well, we can't have if we're gonna use the cartoons 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.120 like we're children to communicate, we have to have an 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:39.920 agreed upon meaning, just like we do with words.

That's not the way it works around here, exactly. 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.320 Well said you want money to eat a Cane's chicken 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:18.000 from now on. The tears streaming down means you're sad, 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:21.280 all right, thumbs up means it's good. The thumbs down 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:25.280 means it's bad. All right, ps, get off my lawn 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:27.080 right right. 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.240 Tell your friends to here's the sidewalk, Look at the lawn, 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:31.320 look at it. 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.800 I have really entered the teenagers coming to me for 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:40.400 money phase of my life, which I knew what happened 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.000 because I I've seen it portrayed on television my whole life. 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.160 But oh boy, me and my friends are gonna go eat. 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:47.000 Is there any chance you. 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:53.320 Could coming up later? Guess who's urging Congress to defund 0:15:54.280 --> 0:16:01.080 the National Museum of the American Latino Latino scholars who 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:02.800 say it's ridiculous and insulting. 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:06.480 Okay, cool, I like the sound of that. There is 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:10.520 a new The latest data is out on how people 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:13.360 meet in the dating world, which I'm not exactly sure 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:17.280 what that even means, giving the factors up. People don't 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.480 date or couple or have kids, so that that factors 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.720 into the whole thing too. But the latest, the latest 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.760 stats on there, and then my anecdotal evidence from people 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:27.840 I know who do that sort of thing. So that'd 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.200 be good on a Friday if you're if you're lonely 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:34.520 and sad. Wow, Wow, that ruined it. That brought me down. 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:36.200 I ruined it. I wish I hadn't said. I didn't 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:38.440 have to say sad. I could have just said, well, lonely, 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:42.640 it's kind of sad, alone and happy. I don't send 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.800 you an emoji right now, sad face emoji. But what 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:50.080 just a second, then there's a cute duck emoji. Why 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:51.400 did you send me an egg plant? 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:55.040 Because that means I don't appreciate what you just said 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.480 because it's the least think it's the least popular vegetable, 0:16:58.640 --> 0:16:59.400 So it means I. 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:04.840 Don't like that. That's why understanding. Yes, So get into 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:07.000 those statistics and a bunch of other stuff on the way. 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:08.879 If you miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:15.560 Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty, We listen to this. 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.000 Tinder just added a new feature that let's use this 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.920 coordinate double dates. 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:26.639 You meet three people you don't like. Well, that's interesting 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:33.040 is negative joke about tender and online dating app and 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.280 then people laughing and everything like that. I don't know 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.840 anything like I don't have I have no practical knowledge 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.760 of online dating because I've never done it or seen 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.280 a website or I mean, I only know what I've 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:49.000 heard people talk about. But I've I've heard almost entirely 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:52.000 negative stuff, at least in the last couple of years 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:56.920 about how awful it is, and and and the number 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:58.919 of people I've heard who deleted all their apps and 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.360 have given up on it because it's it's a it's 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:04.200 a it's only you know a handful of guys trying 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:08.600 to have sex and the end. Yes, Katie, UH drama 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:10.000 makes the stories. 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:12.680 I have several friends that have met the loves of 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:14.840 their lives and been gotten married thanks. 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.199 To quite a few listeners who've commented, you know what, 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:20.400 Jacket's what you described the big story, this is hot, 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.480 this is hot. You see the story everywhere it's hot, 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:24.560 and then backlash against what's hot. 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:27.720 It's actually terrible, It's terrible, over and over. But I 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.000 only know my own personal experience with just people I know, 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.800 and it's anecdotal, one hundred percent anecdotal, and the plural 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:38.359 anecdote is not data, but anecdotally. I know lots of 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:42.520 people who say and and it's all it was good. 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:46.240 What happened? Well, I can tell you one thing that 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:49.720 did happen that you might not know. Of match dot com, 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:55.160 but every single one of the other UH forums they own, 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:59.240 like practically all of them now. Match dot Com owns Tender, 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.439 and I've I've heard of these in the news, okay, 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:05.560 cubid and and I think Hinge and a bunch of 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:09.320 other stuff, maybe e harmony, but they own almost all 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:13.720 of them now, And there's some belief that they have 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:17.840 a reason to not have you match because if you 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:21.080 match with somebody you stay with, you're done as a customer. 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:24.920 Oh my gosh, costs purposes, So there is well, yeah, 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:28.600 there is some reason to you know, just string you along, 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.640 get you kind of close or not give you many 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:33.320 and you stay desperate and you stay on the. 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:36.960 I mean, of course there's an incentive for that. Yeah, yeah, 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:40.440 that's funny. I'm surprised the SEC hasn't stepped in and say, 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:45.200 you've got a monopoly uncoupling. We can't have this. Of course, 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:47.480 you could just meet somebody at the library or something 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:49.840 like that. Right the library, it's likely to be a junkie. 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:54.359 But anyway, depending where you live, you meet somebody at 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:58.400 the library is a particularly bad choice in the modern world. 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:01.240 Who's sleep upped in my head? Who meeting someone at 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:07.480 the library? People who read books, sir. The library is 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:09.720 for washing your feet in the sink, and we all 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:14.960 know that, or looking at porn on a taxpayer funded computer, 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:17.080 I guess. 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:20.400 Researching how do I hide a body? Not on your 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:21.160 own computer? 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:25.640 Right, But looking at the charts through the years, back 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:28.400 in the nineteen thirties, nobody met online. I think that's 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:33.640 an interesting piece of trivia, so revealing. But for all 0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:37.080 of mankind time, it was the ice cream social and 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:39.000 friends and then church and that. So that was big 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:41.960 enough to think like. But the way online has exploded, 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:45.679 it dwarfs every other way of people meeting currently, at 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:50.720 least according to all these studies. So you know that 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:54.280 contradicts my anecdotal evidence, although it could have gotten a 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.479 lot worse just in the last couple of years, and 0:20:56.520 --> 0:21:00.200 these charts would still be true, especially if Match dot 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:03.000 Com bought all the companies and has some reason to 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:10.560 you have zero reason to like perfect your algorithm, you know, 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:16.600 like TikTok perfected the algorithm to keep you engaged. I 0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:19.120 don't know if Match dot com or well, they're all 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:21.800 match dot com now, but if Match dot com could 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:25.320 do that, even if somebody came in boss, I've done it. 0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:28.920 I've figured out the algorithm that uh, nine times out 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:31.320 of ten will put people together that they'll be happy 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:34.199 the rest of their lives. Would you use that. I 0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:35.600 think you probably wouldn't. 0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:38.880 No, not only would you fire them, you'd shoot them 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:42.399 so they and hide their corpse, having researched it at 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:45.680 the library online, of course, to make sure that that 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:46.720 did not get out. 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:49.119 No, at the very least, change them radiator in the basement. 0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:51.400 There are many options to keep this from coming out, 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:53.719 but we don't have to go through the various macob 0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:55.200
