WEBVTT - I'm More Rigid Than Your Average Person 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.240 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:21.799 Armstrong and Getty and he Armstrong and Geddy. Do you 0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:23.480 have that Hitler thing handy. 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:27.520 I just came across Bill Mlusian laying out the two 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:32.440 Portland people that got shot by DHS yesterday with their background. 0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:34.000 Is the married couple, uh. 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:36.200 Yeah, portrayed in the news as a young married couple 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:37.440 shot by DHS. 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:41.040 I'm like the Maryland father and little league coach. 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:43.960 Now, regardless of what you are, until you're proven guilty, 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:46.239 you know, or even when you are proven guilty, they 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:47.239 don't just get to shoot you. 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:49.680 But you know, he's still an idiot. 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:51.720 But but the media going out of their way to 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.240 give everything many to sympathetic. 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:57.400 Sheen whenever starting goes wrong. 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.320 Here's how ABC News would have reported the end of 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.960 World War Two. The American forces surrounded the home of 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:08.080 the vegetarian Austrian artist and his newlywed bride and so 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:10.800 terrorized them that they were forced to commit suicide. 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:14.080 Wow, and they had just gotten married. That is so sad. Well, 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:15.679 they men with guns. 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.679 They were running around the streets of Berlin, and this 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:23.319 poor vegetarian Austrian artist who is described as very, very gentle, 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:26.400 was terrorized into killing himself. 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:30.720 Loved dogs and children. He did, he actually did. Yeah. 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:35.640 So I try not to over sell things. I undersell them. 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.560 But I was reading through the list of band names 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.680 from last year that Mary and the Hoe has compiled, 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.440 and I had tears in my eyes, could couldn't stop giggling. 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.720 So stay tuned for that a little later on in 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:52.640 the hour, plus the lifelong farmer running as a Democrat 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:56.560 for the Senate in Arkansas, what her life has really been? 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.800 Stay with us first, though it's the Friday tradition, let's 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:01.040 take on look back at the week there was. 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:02.240 It's cowclipse of the week. 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:10.280 The United States Armed Forces conducted an extraordinary military operation 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:14.360 in the capital of Venezuela. 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:21.359 Operation Absolute Resolve. This was an audacious operation. And you 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:22.560 know he's a violent guy. 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.400 He gets up there and he tries to imitate my 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:26.399 dance a little bit. 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:31.920 Nicholas Muduro had his chance. He left around and he 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:33.440 found out. 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.400 Alone and protesters taking to the streets of their country. 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.840 And I have let them know that if they start 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.560 killing people, which they tend to do during their riots. 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.440 They have lots of riots. If they do it, we're 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:46.480 going to hit them very hard. 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.760 Nobody's going to fight the United States militarily over the 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:51.720 future of Greenlands. 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:58.480 One last question, see you make you son? It was 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.720 an active domestic terrorism. 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.920 I want to tell everybody directly that is both. 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.880 So it looked like she was impeding ice vehicles. Definitely, Yeah, 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:12.680 that was her goal. There are agents of law enforcement. 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:17.040 If you box them in with vehicles, it is reasonable 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:21.720 for them to believe that they are being ambushed. Note 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:26.600 that law enforcement professionals, real ones, not the fate made 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:31.959 of ice, probably trumps a new army to attack citizens 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:33.200 of the United States. 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:35.120 Did you hear what I said? 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.720 And I have a message for Ice to Ice, get 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.000 the fuck out of Minneapolis. 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:45.880 We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:47.280 warmth of collectivism. 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.440 Families, especially white families, but some pot family two her 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:55.080 homeowners as well, are going to have a different relationship 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.680 to property than the one that we currently have. 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:02.240 I want you to give me one example of socialism. 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:06.480 You think working well somewhere. I think of Cuba in particular. 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:18.239 What you get, what a great day it is going 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:23.240 to be it's clips of the week, man, I hope 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.720 we don't keep up this pace for fifty two weeks. 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:35.200 Yeah, that whole Philadelphia shareff lady saying that if Ice 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.599 tries to conduct operations in Philadelphia, she'll arrest them. 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:43.599 How about her calling Ice Trump's personal fake army army? 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:48.000 Yeah, yeah, that's nice. That's nice. Oh we got a 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:49.680 minute here, so why don't I go ahead and pay 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:53.920 this off? Hallie Sheofner is running for Senate in Arkansas. 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.080 US Senate. Yeah, US Senate. Yeah. 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.720 She's a lifelong farmer who didn't have plan for run 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.120 for office. She my whole life, I've been a ris 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.360 and soybean farmer, she says in her campaign video. She's 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.640 not a politician. She's not much for political parties. She 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.680 never run for office in her life. The only thing 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:15.280 Hallie ever wanted to do was farm. We campaign farm, 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:20.080 that's right mit Her campaign site read well. She did 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.719 grow up in her family's farm in eastern Arkansas, but 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:26.599 at the first possible minute, she headed off to grad 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:30.160 school at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service, 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:31.479 where she was. 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:33.640 Drawn to activism. Left wing activism. 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:38.400 She developed fundraising strategies for prom Sex, a Soros funded 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:42.960 social justice nonprofit in Peru, and a since deleted blog 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.080 posts she touted marching in front of Lima's ninth annual 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:53.760 gay Pride Parade, which the nonprofit funded. What's celebrating being gay, lesbian, transsexual, bisexual, 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:54.200 et cetera. 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:55.960 What's the prom sex thing? 0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:00.760 That's probably Spanish has like yeah right. She went on 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.360 to serve as executive director of sace Point is, an 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:07.480 Arkansas nonprofit that helps illegal immigrants navigate US government systems. 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:08.560 Get some lawyers at Center. 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.360 After a stint as the deputy campaign manager of a 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:16.360 Democratic state legislature's unsuccessful campaign from Ayrea Littl a Little Rock, 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:20.480 she joined an advertising in public public relations agency in 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:24.280 twenty thirteen and has been doing that for the past 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.240 a dozen years. 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:28.800 But around that time. 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.200 She started working with a local marketing firm to build 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:36.040 a new personal brand, farm her Halle and they're portraying 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.839 her as a lifelong farmer. There she is in her workshirt. 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:44.359 She never wanted to do anything but farm. Her blogs, meanwhile, 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.320 featured headlines like what to do about climate anxiety and 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.400 I'm a big agg farmer and I advocate for climate 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:54.919 action all right, okay, fine, that's the state of politics 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.120 these days. But you know that's what you're doing. You're 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.279 selling a TV character. 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:01.800 One of the best things you could do for climate 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.360 we've been saying for some time is nuclear power. Well, 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.400 Mark Zuckerberg's Meta just made the biggest private purchase of 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:13.120 nuclear power ever. They think he signed these contracts to 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.480 buy a whole bunch of nuclear power from a couple 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:20.119 of different power companies in the country, nuclear plants, because 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:24.440 he needs to be able to fuel his AI ambitions. Yes, nukes, Yes, 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.800 that's interesting. How are you doing on Quitter's Day? That's 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.600 what they call January ninth. That is the typical day 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.720 that people have given up their. 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:34.480 New Year's resolution. 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:38.200 By January ninth, I have not had a dessert or 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.440 a suite, and I've been in the gym every day. 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.600 So so far, so good. Although it is every day, 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:49.920 look at you, very early going model for mankind. It 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:51.880 helps that I can walk to the gym quite easily. 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:57.280 That makes a huge difference. That hasn't helped me. Quitter's Day, 0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.360 January ninth. People don't make it very long then with 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:03.680 their New Year's resolutions. I mean a week and two 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:08.000 days is not very long. She didn't natch longer than that. 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.240 We committed to two weeks of a dry January, and 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.640 anyway in sea elgoes after that, see what we think. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.040 But I said to her yesterday, I said, you know, 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:19.600 today's the first day. It was kind of a long, 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.520 crappy day. I said, you know, today's first day. I thought, 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:23.840 you know, a nice scotch S would be good to 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.360 unwined with. She said, well, we made it a week 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.400 we could. And I'm like, wait about it. Now, you're 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:32.080 the disciplined one. No, you're not allowed to say that. 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:33.280 I'm the winer. 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.320 I haven't heard as much about dry January this year 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.480 as I normally do. I wonder if it's because drinking's 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.680 down among certain crowds, so that you don't need to 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.120 do dry January if you're not drinking well. And I 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:47.640 remember that, you know, Dry January last year was joined 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:51.840 by sober October after dry January, and I have no 0:08:52.040 --> 0:09:01.280 brewery and then dryerch then Lamebril. How about no fun 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:06.840 June or something like that name no drinking. Yeah, so 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.040 you're doing two weeks again. I haven't heard as much 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.080 about it this year. I thought, a dry January has 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.439 been really big for quite a few years. 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.359 Now, I would degree. 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.760 Yeah, A handful of my friends have mentioned that they 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.440 too are. 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:22.480 Doing it, earliest part of it. 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.280 You know, as a guy who drinks, it's good to 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.160 reset every so often for a number of reasons. 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:28.400 Number one, is good for your body. 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:33.360 Number two, I am bad at relaxing unless I have 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:38.480 a drink. I'm also aware that it is the greatest 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:44.080 boredom reliever on earth. And instead of maybe reaching for 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:47.440 the sketch, maybe I do something worth doing. Is the 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.920 conversation I've had with myself, particularly in the evenings. 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.479 So it's good reset for me speaking for myself. 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.720 Well, and for average normal drinkers. Though you go through 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:59.520 that couple period there Thanksgiving through Christmas, there's just so 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:05.840 many more opportunities to drink. It's definitely easy to same 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.400 with with calories or anything else. Just get off your 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.840 norm right right that those. 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:17.040 People, I don't know what their lives are like, people 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:20.240 who like only drink it occasions and stuff. 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:24.319 But as supposed to home alone muttering to yourself angrily 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:24.800 in the dark. 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:29.440 Yes. According to The New York Times, the top stuff 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.880 at the Consumer Electronics Show they're actually pretty interesting. I've 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:34.440 read it over already, and then we've got our end 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.200 of the year list that we should have done on 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:37.439 the last show of the year but did not. 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:40.319 We're going to do them today, so stay tuned. 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:46.600 I was looking over the stuff they like at the 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:48.760 Consumer Electronics Show and they're just showing a couple of 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.760 speakers they like, and reminded me yesterday my son and 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:55.559 I were driving around in his truck, his old truck 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:57.640 that he's got that the radio doesn't work in it, 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:00.040 so he brings his little portable speaker and say that 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:01.600 sit on the seat and plays it off his phone, 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.400 and that thing sounds better than any car stereo I 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:05.840 ever had in any car. 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:07.520 For like until I was like forty. 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:13.000 The technology of little speakers has gotten so good it's amazing, 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:14.880 and they don't have to be expensive. 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.400 I got one at Target last year, this tiny little one. 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.720 It was like twenty eight bucks. Sounds amazing. 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.280 I don't know how they've done this, but that's one 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.240 of the great leap forwards in technology, no doubt. Algorithms 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.960 must must be. The Consumer Electronics Show is going on 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.120 right now. We talked a little bit ago about the 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.679 new York Times said twenty twenty six is a year 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.960 of the bad robot at the ceeshich is all kinds 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.559 of robots not quite doing what they claim they're going 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.200 to be able to do, or doing things you can 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.600 you know, why do you need them? Like the one 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:48.400 that plays table tennis with you? But I'm sure they're 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.800 going to get better, but we're not there yet. One 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:54.760 of the things they really really liked something called clicks Communicator. 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.520 It looks like a BlackBerry with a slightly bigger screen 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.680 than blackberries used to have for people who miss the 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.720 physical keyboard and would like to have a screen that 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.240 isn't actively trying to waste your time. 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.720 I find that interesting. So you feel. 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.559 Like, like the same reason I don't want to keep 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.559 cookies in the house because I'll eat them. You think 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.200 if you got a smaller screen where it's not that 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:23.280 enjoyable to look at it, you'll look at it less, right. 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.720 I get it all the communication function when you need 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:30.040 to communicate without the hey hey, but a little entertainment, 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.199 a little distraction, a little indoor for the little entertainment. 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.560 Come on, come on, come on, wonder what's going on 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:35.920 over YouTube? Anyway? 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:37.960 They really liked this phone. I thought that was a 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:42.559 good idea. A stair climbing robot vacuum that is basically, 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:44.280 you know, like a roomba sort of thing, but it 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:47.400 can go up and downstairs and clean the stairs, which, 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.920 as it points out, is one of the most annoying 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.679 things you ever do in life, is vacuuming stairs. 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.880 I have two questions, how much and where do I 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.120 buy one? And I don't care about the first question. 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:02.760 Released and priced to be announced. But it's the robot 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:08.600 now robo back, no kidding. When I used to do this, 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:12.960 like for my mom, the vacuuming stairs. Why is that 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.200 so hard? You gotta carry it up and down. It's 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:16.800 too wide to fit on the stair. 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:20.080 It's just weird. You gotta go horizontal, and then you 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:21.200 turn it vertical. 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.640 To do the edges, and then you've got the never 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:26.959 mind the rise, the vertical thing between the stairs. If 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.079 you've got carpet on there, it gets nasty. Yeah, you gotta. 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.080 Then you gotta twist the thing sideways and it's time consumed. 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:34.920 Anyway, this thing looks pretty cool. It's got legs on 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:36.840 it and it just fits on your stairs. I like 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:40.760 the sound of this LG has debuted their wallpaper TV. 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.800 They've had this for several years, but this is the 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:48.960 first year. Like it's actual usable, good quality. It's a 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:50.760 third of an inch thick, that's what they call it. 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.880 Why they call it wallpaper? I mean that's hardly anything. 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:58.400 And it's four k old TV that sits flush against 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.040 the wall and he looks fantastic. 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:04.959 So that's pretty cool, like the sound of that. Again. 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:09.080 Price and release date to be announced. A number of 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.360 different lamps that are supposed to be good for you. 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:14.920 Is or the thing that kind of looks like a 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.439 small version of the sun and changes the kind of 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.960 light it has throughout the day. It's got blue light 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:21.840 in the morning to help wake you up, and then 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:23.520 it switches to the kind of light that will help 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:25.680 you get to sleep later in the day. Sounds kind 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:29.000 of cool, not super expensive. A lot of people have 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.240 talking about Legos for the first time ever. Have made 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.640 a major change and now they have little smart blocks 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.400 that light up and stuff. If your kids dig that, 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:38.680 they dig that well. 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:40.760 I think that's probably every bit as much for your 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:44.880 twenty somethings and the expensive adult Legos. 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.920 All right to you weirdos who are still doing Legos 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.480 when you're doing eight years old. Listen to Judging Je 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.160 damn right, I'm Judge Jo Johnson. 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.600 I calm down activity nice hobby. 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:57.600 Yeah, hey, ladies, you walk into the house and he's 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:01.680 got a giant eight hundred dollars Lego Starship Enterprise. 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:07.760 You ain't having kids with this, dude, Turn around, walk out. Yeah, 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:12.400 you're right. Kind of like this sound less, I'm splintering. 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:13.560 It's funny. 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.160 There are several products on here that are basically trying 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.000 to get you away from your smartphone. So here's a 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:25.160 sleep tracking podcast playing sunrise alarm clock that isn't your phone, 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.640 so it does all the things your phone does for 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.880 you in bed. Why you keep it near you? My 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:33.680 iPhone's my alarm clock, My iPhone is my podcast. My 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:35.720 iPhone is a number of different things letting me know 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.560 the weather. This thing does all those things but doesn't 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:41.400 have the screen. So you can keep your iPhone, keep 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.120 your phone plugged into the kitchen, have this thing in 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.520 your bedroom. You won't be tempted to look at the screen. 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:53.640 It's interesting that people are making devices that make it 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:56.360 somewhat more difficult to use your favorite device. You waste 0:15:56.400 --> 0:16:00.360 the most time on Yeah, because we all kind of 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.480 want the discipline but can't do it ourselves. 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:07.080 I find that unique. I wonder if that's ever happened before. 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.440 Well, and I think, and I'm heartened to hear the 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:15.200 awareness of the downside of smartphones and social media are 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:16.760 becoming more and more obvious to people. 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:17.200 That's good. 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:22.280 The best robot lawnmower that has ever been debuted was debuted. 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.200 We've talked about this a little bit, The robo Rock 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.640 once again coming through as a company.
