Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Jetty arm Strong and.
Speaker 2: Jettie and he arms Rong.
Speaker 1: Hey we're Armstrong and Getty. We're featuring our podcast One
Speaker 1: more Thing. Find out wherever you find all your podcasts.
Speaker 3: Hold my calls. I got to work in a couple
Speaker 3: of sets of squats. It's one more thing, one more thing.
Speaker 2: I can't I can't imagine where there's this going.
Speaker 3: So even the radio ranch, full of slackers and fatties
Speaker 3: and stoned in its has a gym, an office gym.
Speaker 2: That's right. I've never I've been in it. I've never
Speaker 2: used it, you know.
Speaker 3: I I was seriously about to use it when COVID hit,
Speaker 3: and then of course they had to lock it up
Speaker 3: so nobody would exercise this or something. Right, Oh the
Speaker 3: freaking idiocy. Anyway, This from the Journal of Wall Street.
Speaker 3: Forget the office, Jim, Welcome to the gym. Office, working
Speaker 3: out or just working more. Gyms are encouraging remote working
Speaker 3: members to stay all day and do both. It's like
Speaker 3: a Starbucks with a bunch of weight equipment and ellipticals
Speaker 3: and then.
Speaker 2: Treadmills and stuff.
Speaker 3: So you stay all day, you work a little bit,
Speaker 3: then you do a couple of sets of squats, and.
Speaker 2: You come back.
Speaker 3: You make a call, then you throw the iron, you
Speaker 3: bench press three hundred and fifty pounds ten times, like
Speaker 3: I like to relax in the afternoon.
Speaker 2: I stand on that thing with the band around you
Speaker 2: that shakes you. That's what I mean. Beautiful.
Speaker 4: You guys doing the show from a gym. I wouldn't
Speaker 4: work for this profession.
Speaker 1: Have you ever worked anywhere? This was very popular around
Speaker 1: here for a while. Have you ever worked anywhere, Katie
Speaker 1: where people sat on the ball to h yeah, just
Speaker 1: strengthen their core.
Speaker 4: I'm surprised you guys didn't see me doing that in
Speaker 4: the San Francisco building.
Speaker 2: Hmmm, may have. I just didn't want to do. You
Speaker 2: feel like it works? Yeah? And it keeps you moving. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it seems like a good idea.
Speaker 4: And all the rage on the internet right now. Are
Speaker 4: these treadmills that go under your desk?
Speaker 2: Uh no? Yeah, well wait a second.
Speaker 1: They go under your desk, so you're sitting and you
Speaker 1: move your feet yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Really yeah, or or you're standing.
Speaker 4: You can do both if you have one of the
Speaker 4: standing desks, like you can walk on it, and then
Speaker 4: they have a feature where you put it under the
Speaker 4: desk and you just keep your legs moving at a
Speaker 4: sense of see that.
Speaker 1: It seems like really uncomfortable and weird to me. I
Speaker 1: understand the walking on a treadmill while I work, but
Speaker 1: the sitting with my legs moving and like.
Speaker 2: Passively having your legs pushed along by the treadmill. What
Speaker 2: good would that do? Keep your knees let I don't know.
Speaker 4: The idea is you're supposed to move with the treadmill,
Speaker 4: not just drag your.
Speaker 1: Labs, but but just moving anything. I suppose better is
Speaker 1: better than sitting still.
Speaker 3: Whoa, whoa, whoah, breaking news, breaking news. I just got
Speaker 3: a text from Don Donald Trump Junior. It was a
Speaker 3: long text.
Speaker 2: Well, it includes a picture of his bearded countenance. Look
Speaker 2: at that.
Speaker 3: Hi, Joseph Don Junior here as a loyal supporter of
Speaker 3: my father. I'm reaching out on the behalf of Senate
Speaker 3: Republicans because they desperately need your help. After reviewing your
Speaker 3: donor profile, I believe you're the right person for this job.
Speaker 1: Your donor profile is you have money ah, and I'm
Speaker 1: certainly a crazed right winger.
Speaker 3: So he's trying to raise money allegedly for the Senate Republicans.
Speaker 3: That's not super on brand for the Trump family.
Speaker 1: I don't get these fundraising emails at a lot of courts.
Speaker 1: This might be completely a scammed, right, alright, right right,
Speaker 1: you have to watch out for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Hey, back to the working out at work thing. Ah, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: so ka, do you've actually seen people with the treadmills
Speaker 1: under the desk.
Speaker 4: Not the treadmills. I saw a woman who had a
Speaker 4: bike like the pedals under her desk.
Speaker 2: She used to have that all so intisco, but I
Speaker 2: could see doing that that. Oh.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a habit that once you got
Speaker 1: into you could just you could work regularly and it'd be.
Speaker 2: Great for you. I think that's a terrific idea.
Speaker 3: I'm I got to try the ball maybe at home
Speaker 3: because the desks are too high in the studio. But
Speaker 3: I have I haven't talked about this on the air
Speaker 3: at all, but just sitting on the exercise ball thing.
Speaker 3: But I am suffering terribly from sciatica at this point. Ooh,
Speaker 3: it's it's it's like crazy painful. I know what it is,
Speaker 3: and I know it can be dealt with. So I
Speaker 3: observed many years ago, just to myself, that fear is
Speaker 3: the worst component of pain. Now, pain itself is bad,
Speaker 3: but like as a kid, things that that hurt also
Speaker 3: terrified you because you know you're supposed to be terrified,
Speaker 3: so you avoid them, so you survived. But as an adult,
Speaker 3: like getting a shot, getting dental work done, you know,
Speaker 3: there are a hundred things that are they hurt.
Speaker 1: None of it hurts as much as stubbing your toe
Speaker 1: really hard. Oh right, that, yeah, that's true, that's that's brutal.
Speaker 1: But anyway, sevent fet all the time, and you don't
Speaker 1: fall apart over it when you stub your toe or
Speaker 1: hit your head and getting on the cabinet or what
Speaker 1: all that stuff hurts more than getting a shot.
Speaker 4: And are your time to psych yourself out with those? Yeah,
Speaker 4: but it is the fear. It's the fear part that
Speaker 4: makes it so right.
Speaker 3: You know you're gonna be okay in thirty seconds to
Speaker 3: two minutes, right, so you don't freak out in the
Speaker 3: same way. And it's the same with me. I know
Speaker 3: what sciatic it is, I know how to treat it.
Speaker 3: I know eventually it'll be fine. But it's brutally painful.
Speaker 3: But so I'm trying to work on my core.
Speaker 1: Is that a disease or a back thing? I mean,
Speaker 1: I know it's a back thing, but is it? It's
Speaker 1: pressure on the sciatic nerve general. You know a number
Speaker 1: of things can cause it. Most commonly, it's that like
Speaker 1: you're getting older and you aren't flexible enough and your
Speaker 1: muscles are so tight they're in effect pulling your spine
Speaker 1: in a way.
Speaker 3: That's bad. That puts pressure on the sciatic nerve. It
Speaker 3: can also be like a serious slip disc or a
Speaker 3: tumor or something like that. But with the vast majority
Speaker 3: of people, you just need to work on fitness and flexibility.
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm doing. It's fine, but I think
Speaker 2: sitting on the ball might help.
Speaker 1: I bought a motorcycle from a guy who got sciatica
Speaker 1: and he couldn't ride it anymore.
Speaker 2: Mmm. Wow, So I I really bet him over. I
Speaker 2: mean because he had no choice.
Speaker 3: He had to sell it because he was in so
Speaker 3: much pain. Yeah, that's just smart business, jees.
Speaker 2: I didn't literally bend him over because that'd have been
Speaker 2: too painful. Yes, yeah, because he's got siatic thing. Anyway,
Speaker 2: back to the gym. So the idea is you go and.
Speaker 3: You hang out all day long and you do work
Speaker 3: as necessary, but during your breaks you pump iron or
Speaker 3: get on the treadmill or whatever, like the people who
Speaker 3: hang out in the Starbucks all damn day long.
Speaker 1: Remember we had the two guys in the newsroom Michael
Speaker 1: throw around the medicine.
Speaker 4: Ball, medicine ball, and they brought donuts every day, do
Speaker 4: you remember that?
Speaker 1: And that was just a mocking all the rest of us.
Speaker 1: That was that was that was a level beyond Katie.
Speaker 1: This was before your time. So these guys, they were
Speaker 1: super workout fiends and like really buff and everything like that.
Speaker 2: Nice guys.
Speaker 1: But they would have a medicine ball and while they
Speaker 1: were working in the like newspit, they'd throw the medicine
Speaker 1: ball back and forth while they were talking, kind of
Speaker 1: like what Joe was talking about. But they also would
Speaker 1: buy donuts and they wouldn't eat any of them themselves,
Speaker 1: just to like prey upon the weakness of the rest
Speaker 1: of us who weren't as fit as them.
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't like that at all.
Speaker 3: That's that's satanic, Yeah, I mean literally, like Satan being
Speaker 3: the great Temp Tour.
Speaker 4: You know, the the gym Planet Fitness. Yeah, sure so
Speaker 4: I I this was years ago. I'm hoping they don't
Speaker 4: still do this, but I I dropped my membership there
Speaker 4: because I went in and I found out that on
Speaker 4: Friday nights they have.
Speaker 1: Pizza, Yes, and pizza the fitness play.
Speaker 4: And then there was a bowl of TUTSI rolls on
Speaker 4: the way out by the register and I'm going, what
Speaker 4: are we doing?
Speaker 2: I don't know what that is.
Speaker 3: This is exactly like politicians who want to have the problem,
Speaker 3: not solve the problem.
Speaker 2: Because if you're super.
Speaker 3: Fit and healthy and all, you might think, you know,
Speaker 3: do I need to go belong to a gym?
Speaker 2: I'll just say in reasonable shape? No, they got to
Speaker 2: keep you fat. I'm into fitness, fitness. Pizza into my mouth, yem.
Speaker 3: So here's one GALLO does this By going into this
Speaker 3: space and not coming back home. I'm going through these
Speaker 3: movements of the day more intentionally. There's less distraction, and
Speaker 3: I'm able to set up work more efficient. That's what
Speaker 3: I'm not doing, going through my movements intentionally.
Speaker 2: I knew it.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to say anything, but right, Yes, gym's
Speaker 3: were once wary of letting the remote work vases zoom
Speaker 3: from their lobbies and locker rooms. Now they see an
Speaker 3: opportunity and offering extra desks, offices, and outlets.
Speaker 2: Some are creating.
Speaker 3: Coworking spaces to separate the extension court wielders from the crowd.
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't have to be that clever.
Speaker 3: Other gyms are charging extra and offering entire floors for
Speaker 3: clients to stay in work all day.
Speaker 1: A lot of what this is pointing out, though, is
Speaker 1: the fact that we all could exercise a lot more
Speaker 1: than we want. The excuse that I make, I'll just
Speaker 1: focus on myself of being too busy or whatever. It's
Speaker 1: just it's just a lie. I mean, there's all kinds
Speaker 1: of things I could.
Speaker 2: I could.
Speaker 1: I could be doing curls while I'm watching the news,
Speaker 1: or on the treadmill more often like you do, or whatever.
Speaker 2: I just don't. I mean, there's lots of stuff we
Speaker 2: could all do. We just don't.
Speaker 1: You know why, because I don't want to. Because it's
Speaker 1: easier not to. That's why.
Speaker 2: That's fair, that's remarkable honesty. Yeah. My My only tip is.
Speaker 1: Start with a little yeah. Yeah, that's that is the key.
Speaker 1: Doing something is so much better than doing nothing.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: Like every level of doing something makes you healthier, live longer,
Speaker 3: and happier. And so if all you can muster up
Speaker 3: is kind of me do men.
Speaker 1: I did this to myself, and I've been preaching this
Speaker 1: for years, but I did this to myself recently when
Speaker 1: I came out with this workout thing, because I got
Speaker 1: a bench and dumbbells and all this sort of stuff,
Speaker 1: and there's like three exercises I was doing every day.
Speaker 1: Well it took like a half an hour, and so
Speaker 1: I did that routinely for like nine months.
Speaker 2: Or something like that.
Speaker 1: But then in the half an hour ever a time
Speaker 1: and the kids got out of school in his business something, Well,
Speaker 1: how about instead of doing the whole half hour, you
Speaker 1: just do one of those things for ten minutes.
Speaker 2: I could do that. Yeah, it's the if you got.
Speaker 1: To change clothes, drive to the gym, work out for
Speaker 1: an hour and a half, take a shour, change clothes,
Speaker 1: drive back, and you got like this two hour commitment.
Speaker 2: No, you can't fit that into your life, right right.
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan, And partly it's the nature of
Speaker 3: my job, so maybe easier for me than others but
Speaker 3: I never exercised that. I'm not taking in news or
Speaker 3: information or a podcasts.
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't.
Speaker 1: I just I don't have the I know plenty of
Speaker 1: meattheads worked out of gym's all the time. Maybe they're
Speaker 1: healthier than me mentally. They probably are, but could just
Speaker 1: lift weights and do all that sort of stuff, just
Speaker 1: staring at the ceiling all day long.
Speaker 2: I can't do that. No, it makes me insane. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now, I do like to strip shirtless and look at
Speaker 3: my shaved, oiled body taking I do a lot.
Speaker 2: Of poison in the mirror. One of these. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: oh that's a good one. One of those. Oh look
Speaker 2: at that one. Yeah, don't ever do that again. This
Speaker 2: is fantastic. I took a turn, folks. You know, I
Speaker 2: resent those two guys that we used to work with.
Speaker 2: They get themselves strong and they'd fatten the rest of
Speaker 2: us up. Suck.
Speaker 3: It's the Armstrong and Getdy Show, featuring our podcast One
Speaker 3: more Thing. Download it, subscribe to it wherever you like
Speaker 3: to get podcasts.
Speaker 1: Anyway, as we learned in the hearing yesterday, we have
Speaker 1: been visited by aliens, and one actually came down and
Speaker 1: met with a bunch of Earth leaders about the whole
Speaker 1: human gender situation. So this alien comes to planet Earth,
Speaker 1: particularly in the United States, and finds out that we
Speaker 1: have a thing about genders and more than one gender
Speaker 1: that they hadn't encountered on their planet. That's the setup
Speaker 1: to this Babylon Bee comedy bit. So you're gonna hear
Speaker 1: kind of a weird voice. That's the alien sitting at
Speaker 1: the hall, at the head of a boardroom table. I
Speaker 1: don't know how this occurs, but they're like in the
Speaker 1: board's kind of the take me to your leader thing.
Speaker 3: He's come into the you know, the halls of power
Speaker 3: and said, all right, I'm in charge.
Speaker 1: Now, and he's talking to a whole bunch of business
Speaker 1: people or Americans or.
Speaker 4: Something like that. Government officials, government officials. Okay, well here's
Speaker 4: how it goes.
Speaker 1: General Floyd, thank you for agreeing to meet.
Speaker 2: With us today.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm giving you a chance to beg and pleat.
Speaker 5: I say, before we destroy your planet is my favorite partner.
Speaker 5: The job they've destroyers way don't deserve it. The looks
Speaker 5: on their faces, it's a hoot.
Speaker 2: Perhaps we should start out by introducing ourselves.
Speaker 6: I'm Chief of Space Operation General Foreman, he him, Under
Speaker 6: Secretary of State Angus Miller, he him.
Speaker 7: Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Amanda Williams she her?
Speaker 5: And what exactly is a chief Diversity and Inclusion officer.
Speaker 2: It's my job to be a black woman. Well, good
Speaker 2: job then, And what is this? He? Him, she her?
Speaker 2: Which you are all speaking?
Speaker 7: Those are our gender pronouns, so you know which gender
Speaker 7: we identify as.
Speaker 5: I appreciate that, but I am pretty good at telling
Speaker 5: the difference between the two genders.
Speaker 2: A man, man woman. Now that I was a lucky guess.
Speaker 2: But there are way more than just two genders. Fascinating.
Speaker 5: We've been probing humans for years and I have only
Speaker 5: discovered the two.
Speaker 2: How many genders are there too? It's hard to know. Really,
Speaker 2: it's changing all the time.
Speaker 5: So your species is evolving that rapidly remarkable. Perhaps while
Speaker 5: you are sitting here you will grow additional limbs or
Speaker 5: developed the ability to breathe underwater.
Speaker 2: No, that's not what we meant. It's too bad.
Speaker 5: I breathe on no water. It's a lot of fun.
Speaker 5: If you threw twenty pennies into a pool, I could
Speaker 5: dive down and pick them all up without everyone's reservicing pool.
Speaker 2: What no applause?
Speaker 5: So what are these genders and how do they function?
Speaker 2: Function? I don't understand. Oh yes, on.
Speaker 5: My planets, the female gender is the giver of life,
Speaker 5: raising and nurturing our young, preserving our civilization for eons to.
Speaker 2: Come, while the males mostly just mow our.
Speaker 5: Space lawns and make multiple trips to space on depot.
Speaker 7: What you're talking about is sex. Gender is something different exactly.
Speaker 8: People can identify with genders different than their natal sex
Speaker 8: or with none at all.
Speaker 2: But why it's just the way we feel. No, it
Speaker 2: was the way we're born. Well, a lot of.
Speaker 8: Times they don't realize how they were born until someone
Speaker 8: tells them, someone like a teacher, social media influencer.
Speaker 5: And what exactly are these various genders? You have me
Speaker 5: very curious.
Speaker 8: Well, there's non binary, which is someone who identifies as
Speaker 8: both genders.
Speaker 5: Doesn't saying I identify as both genders imply that there
Speaker 5: are only two genders?
Speaker 2: No, it's shut up. Actually, it's gender queer.
Speaker 7: That is the term that refers to people who identify
Speaker 7: as both genders.
Speaker 9: You know, like my nephew.
Speaker 6: I thought that was gender fluid, like my niece now no,
Speaker 6: that shifts around.
Speaker 2: No, by gender shifts around like my steps on. They can.
Speaker 6: Well, oh, unless you're Native American, which case it's too
Speaker 6: spirit like my cousin who got into Harvard because they's
Speaker 6: one sixteenth Native Americans.
Speaker 2: Oh, I understand.
Speaker 5: On this planet there are people who are men, and
Speaker 5: people who are women, and people who are mentally ill.
Speaker 7: I can understand, and that it's confusing.
Speaker 9: It can be difficult to keep track.
Speaker 2: Of all the different genders.
Speaker 7: There's so many of them. There's there's gender vague, there's
Speaker 7: gray gender, demigender, audi gender, omnigender, polygender, and about ten
Speaker 7: different kinds of trands. And those are just the ones
Speaker 7: that my nephew has identified as in the last month.
Speaker 7: I was also by gender, which is two genders, those
Speaker 7: genders being male and female, or a combination of all genders,
Speaker 7: including a gender which is no gender at all, actually
Speaker 7: simultaneously be no gender at all plus a gender.
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool. Huh.
Speaker 5: The planet has no sign of intelligent life. Official recommendation destroyed.
Speaker 2: Well, please don't destroy it. We don't deserve it. Stuff.
Speaker 1: Look, my favorite part of that whole thing is when
Speaker 1: they're laying out on that stuff and he says, why.
Speaker 2: The question no one can answer? Oh, I can answer it.
Speaker 3: It's so young adolescents feel special and get praised by
Speaker 3: their mentors. I'm not just a regular dude anymore. I'm
Speaker 3: I don't know, gender fluid. Oh, Joe, that's so wonderful,
Speaker 3: will support you. You're so brave?
Speaker 2: Come on, why.
Speaker 3: Please do not use gendered language to address everyone?
Speaker 9: You get the hell out of here.
Speaker 2: The Armstrong and Getty Show, more John, your Joe, podcasts
Speaker 2: and our hot links.
Speaker 3: This is The Armstrong and Getty Show, featuring our podcast
Speaker 3: one more Thing, get it wherever you like to get podcasts.
Speaker 1: This story out of California. I guess this is a
Speaker 1: problem in a number of different states, but this particular
Speaker 1: lawsuit is in California. If you're a nurse, or you
Speaker 1: work at a hospital, for instance, in any capacity, really,
Speaker 1: but you have your PhD, do you get to call
Speaker 1: yourself doctor so and so? If I have a PhD
Speaker 1: in history but I work at a hospital, yes, do
Speaker 1: I get to call myself doctor Jack Armstrong? Yes, Well,
Speaker 1: apparently you can't in a lot of states. That's against
Speaker 1: the law. It's not as clear in California. And this
Speaker 1: woman who is told not to call herself doctor anymore.
Speaker 1: She's a nurse, but she introduces herself as doctor so
Speaker 1: and so and has that on our little tag and
Speaker 1: signs things that way. It confuses the patient, obviously, and
Speaker 1: she is told not to do that. She is suing, saying,
Speaker 1: you know, I worked really hard to spend a lot
Speaker 1: of money. I got this degree. This is the title
Speaker 1: I get to call myself this.
Speaker 3: So they're trying to I would suggest that the further
Speaker 3: it is from medical science or science at all, the
Speaker 3: more enthusiastic I am about this idea. You have a
Speaker 3: PhD in women's studies, you ought to call yourself doctor
Speaker 3: in the hospital and walk into patients rooms and they say, doctor,
Speaker 3: I don't know if this drug is working.
Speaker 2: You say, well, I wouldn't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know anything about medicine, and then walk out
Speaker 3: again and leave them wondering what the hell is going
Speaker 3: on here?
Speaker 1: But I can tell you about Napoleon's loss at Waterloo
Speaker 1: because that's what I have my PhD.
Speaker 2: Wow, the whole I got a PhD. So I you
Speaker 2: got to call me doctor.
Speaker 1: You know I've known a few, uh, well, I've known
Speaker 1: quite a few people with PhDs. But uh, I've only
Speaker 1: known a few that really trotted out a lot. Usually
Speaker 1: it's only when it's contextually makes sense, like if, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're if you're having a meeting about
Speaker 1: business and you got somebody there who's got a PhD
Speaker 1: in business, to introduce them as doctor so and so
Speaker 1: went to Stanford, that's think, that's perfectly fine. That's a
Speaker 1: stretch man, but that's not even necessary. But they're just
Speaker 1: like regularly casual. You're out for dinner and you introduce
Speaker 1: yourself as doctor so and so.
Speaker 3: Come on, well, how about freaking doctor Jill Biden exactly
Speaker 3: what I was thinking. She's got a PhD in library
Speaker 3: or something, library science or whatever it is English.
Speaker 1: I've had more acquaintances or friends that actually kind of
Speaker 1: hide the fact that they have a PhD unless it
Speaker 1: like really comes up in conversation and you would kind
Speaker 1: of get into a weird territory to not mention it.
Speaker 2: They don't mention it because of the way it comes off.
Speaker 1: So this particular woman who's suing California to be able
Speaker 1: to call herself doctor says she always tells patients as
Speaker 1: a nurse when she goes in there and they say,
Speaker 1: uh oh, hi, doctor Janine. I have her name here,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter, And she says, I'm not a
Speaker 1: medical doctor. Have my PhD in something else? My first
Speaker 1: thought would be, then, why do you call yourself doctor
Speaker 1: in a freaking hospital?
Speaker 4: Wouldn't that be your first thought? Yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Seem pretty you know what you're doing, pretending you don't
Speaker 1: know what you're doing, walking around a hospital with a
Speaker 1: bad just's doctor, so and so on it.
Speaker 3: I can't remember did you tell us what her PhD
Speaker 3: is in? I'm only mildly interested.
Speaker 2: I just had that in front of you, and I
Speaker 2: don't remember. I'm just curious how ridiculous it is.
Speaker 4: What about DJs who refer to themselves as doctors.
Speaker 3: May be allowed to identify themselves thusly in a hospital?
Speaker 2: Doctor Johnny Fever.
Speaker 3: I have spinned or spun many platters to get this nickname.
Speaker 2: I deserve credit for it.
Speaker 1: She has a doctorate of nursing practice, whatever that is.
Speaker 2: Well, that's funny. I'm a doctor of nursing. That's weird.
Speaker 2: I'm a nursing of doctor. You want to go out
Speaker 2: sometime anyway? Wow?
Speaker 1: I would just say this if you have a PhD.
Speaker 1: And you probably know this. Most people, I think the
Speaker 1: vast majority of people kind of roll their eyes if
Speaker 1: you introduce yourself as doctor so and so, or your
Speaker 1: wife does, her husband does or whatever.
Speaker 2: All right, I think most people do. They make fun
Speaker 2: of you after you leave. Certainly, I like what Joe said.
Speaker 2: She basically has this.
Speaker 4: She has a doctor ate and it's the highest level
Speaker 4: of nurse training, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So she's doctor nurse.
Speaker 1: Yeah, are you someone who can fix my knee or
Speaker 1: take out my gall bladder?
Speaker 2: No, well, then shot at I agree with you, Katie.
Speaker 2: Woman sounds annoying.
Speaker 3: I'm a doctor of nursing. That's so funny. I'm trying
Speaker 3: to think, is there anything like, uh, anything similar to that.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It is a pretty uni doctor of nursing.
Speaker 3: It'd be like I'm an engineer of Now, there's nothing analogous.
Speaker 3: I don't think so, because a nurse is kind of
Speaker 3: sort of an assistant to doctors.
Speaker 2: I'm the president of vice presidents. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm the president of the vice President's Association.
Speaker 4: I don't know that that's something I would walk around
Speaker 4: pointing out every day.
Speaker 2: That's why I think she's obnoxious.
Speaker 4: What is you know, what good is she doing herself
Speaker 4: or anyone else she encounters.
Speaker 3: So you're super well educated in your profession, good for you.
Speaker 3: Go out and prove it. That's fine.
Speaker 1: I'm the captain of the second Mate's division. So moving
Speaker 1: on to Disney. I haven't heard what this is, but
Speaker 1: it's labeled as the Secrets of Disney World. I've never
Speaker 1: been to Disney World. Maybe i'll learn something here.
Speaker 9: One a magic Kingdom.
Speaker 10: All cast members are in powered to create magical moments.
Speaker 9: These are designed for If you see a kid lose.
Speaker 10: Their turkey leg to a seagull, you can go get
Speaker 10: them a brand new one for free. Have you ever
Speaker 10: seen a janitor move stash through the park. The answer
Speaker 10: is no, that would destroy the magic. Every trash can
Speaker 10: that you see is not actually a trash can, but
Speaker 10: a shoot that goes directly into Disney's trash compactor system
Speaker 10: called Utilidor nobody throws up at Disney World, that's gross.
Speaker 9: They have protein spills and.
Speaker 10: Every cast member has protein spill powder.
Speaker 9: You throw it on top of the throw up, it drives.
Speaker 10: It up and the janitor will come and clean it
Speaker 10: up a few minutes later. I would have to call
Speaker 10: Chop Protective Services, the police, and Disney management at least
Speaker 10: once a month while working at Space Mountain. Why their
Speaker 10: parents thought it would be a great idea to wait
Speaker 10: a two and a half hour line to get onto
Speaker 10: Space Mountain and leave their kid out front. Well, by
Speaker 10: the time they get off that ride, the police greet
Speaker 10: them and no one meves happy.
Speaker 9: And it's not very magical.
Speaker 2: Wow. So a couple of things.
Speaker 1: One, I think we need to start editing TikTok clips
Speaker 1: to put space between thoughts. I understand why they do
Speaker 1: it on TikTok, but for me my mind, I get
Speaker 1: interested in something and then you hit with me with
Speaker 1: something else, and.
Speaker 2: Okay, I get to do that for me just like
Speaker 2: a beat.
Speaker 1: So you've got boomer brain. Maybe I have boomer brain. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean because TikTok's the most successful thing and ever.
Speaker 1: I guess young people can handle that. But I get
Speaker 1: I hear it and like, well that's and then they're
Speaker 1: on to the next thing. AnyWho.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: So you don't see janitors going to empty the garbage bins,
Speaker 1: which is kind of gross because it goes down into
Speaker 1: a shoot.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 1: Interesting, they call vomiting protein spills.
Speaker 3: And every cast member has the powder, got a utility
Speaker 3: built like Batman.
Speaker 1: Right ready to throw a little powder on the protein
Speaker 1: spill immediately, a little puke powder.
Speaker 2: And then there were a couple other things in there.
Speaker 1: I wanted to comment them, but my boomer brain couldn't
Speaker 1: comprehend them because it was coming at me so fast.
Speaker 3: Well, you have the people leaving their kid to fend
Speaker 3: for themselves, their little kid as they wait two and
Speaker 3: a half hours for ride. Just sit there on the bench, Jenny,
Speaker 3: I'll be back.
Speaker 1: I did wait with my kids for I think two
Speaker 1: and a half hours for the Mario Ride at Nintendo
Speaker 1: Land or whatever that thing is called.
Speaker 4: Is that what it's called, Nintendo Land. I don't even
Speaker 4: know what, no clue, Universal Studios, Nintendo World. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: in the Mario Ride, which it had just opened, and
Speaker 4: it was like the hottest thing going and it goes
Speaker 4: half your day, right, yeah, it's a lot of your day.
Speaker 1: But that's why we went. The reason we went was
Speaker 1: to ride that ride. So and it was all thirty
Speaker 1: year olds, right, A lot of thirty year olds in
Speaker 1: costume a lot of thirty year olds by themselves in costume.
Speaker 2: Oh that I don't get. No, it makes me sad.
Speaker 1: But I would say that it was the quickest moving
Speaker 1: two and a half hours I've ever done in my life.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think I stood for more than
Speaker 1: a few seconds. You're kind of constantly shuffling or walking.
Speaker 2: And usually in the Disney style, and this was their genius.
Speaker 3: You come across something interesting and entertaining as you're waiting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you walk through the castle, so you go up
Speaker 1: these stairs around a corner, and then you're in a
Speaker 1: room and there's a couple of things to look at,
Speaker 1: and then you go down this stair and corner there's
Speaker 1: something interesting. So I went by fairly quickly. I don't
Speaker 1: know whoever invented that. That was very cleverly. I understood
Speaker 1: psychology in an amazing way.
Speaker 2: But I don't know that i'd ever do it again.
Speaker 1: My one kid said it was absolutely worth it, and
Speaker 1: my other kid said he was a teenager. Of course,
Speaker 1: nothing's worth it to him. Right, My definition is a teenager,
Speaker 1: nothing's cool, nothing's worth it.

Speaker 3: more thing, download it, subscribe to it wherever you like
Speaker 3: to get podcasts.
Speaker 1: I angered some people by not taking Nicki Haley seriously
Speaker 1: enough or something.
Speaker 2: I feel like I've taken it fairly seriously from the beginning.
Speaker 2: But I can vouch for that he has yes.
Speaker 1: But I guess if you don't do it every single time,
Speaker 1: and somebody only hears one comment, like me commenting on
Speaker 1: her dress today, I feel like that's the only thing
Speaker 1: I've ever thought about her. She was wearing a red dress,
Speaker 1: and I said, man, it's some nice dress. In defense
Speaker 1: of Jack, red is a bold color for a politician
Speaker 1: to wear. It is if you wear a bright red dress,
Speaker 1: I assume you're trying to do some attention to yourself.
Speaker 2: But isn't there some.
Speaker 3: Uh forbidding of doing that in the Book of Leviticus
Speaker 3: or something like that.
Speaker 2: Wearing a red dress.
Speaker 1: But this person went on to say, if a man
Speaker 1: made a speech wearing a red suit, I'll bet you
Speaker 1: would have mentioned that first as well. And then the
Speaker 1: women get that you have all the options for all
Speaker 1: these different clothes you can wear. If Mitt Romney came
Speaker 1: out in a bright red suit, I mean, the first
Speaker 1: thing anybody said, holy crap, like.
Speaker 3: He's Sinbad or something, yes, for instance, or a professional
Speaker 3: pool player or something other.
Speaker 2: It's always struck me.
Speaker 3: You see the Senate Chamber or the House chamber and
Speaker 3: you have every single guy in a dark suit, a
Speaker 3: white or light blue shirt, and a red or blue tie,
Speaker 3: every single damn one of them. And then you've got
Speaker 3: the many colors of the rainbow of the coals. They're
Speaker 3: wearing white and yellow and red and blue and whatever.
Speaker 1: They want, dresses, pants, suits, brooches, no brooches. You got
Speaker 1: all the options to you if you're a woman, Katie.
Speaker 1: But only of course, the downside is, I know I've
Speaker 1: heard women say this before, is I got to come
Speaker 1: up with something to wear where you get to just
Speaker 1: throw on a suit and always call yourself dressed up correct,
Speaker 1: which is handy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely well, especially because it's also simpler. You have
Speaker 4: your your pants, your shirt, your jacket, which is what
Speaker 4: you guys wear usually. Anyway, I wear a suit to
Speaker 4: work most every day, and it is it is.
Speaker 2: It is easier than dressing casual to wear a suit.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely true. If you have two suits, you've
Speaker 3: covered it. If you have three, you're trying too hard.
Speaker 3: And the other thing is about suits is you can
Speaker 3: gain five pounds lose five pounds.
Speaker 2: They fit fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got four suits. I rotate a bunch of
Speaker 1: dress shirts. It's super easy to dress. But if I
Speaker 1: was trying to dress up without a suit, I'd take
Speaker 1: a lot of money in time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, dresses are not forgiving, guys. I'll tell you that
Speaker 4: those things do not give.
Speaker 1: Either it fits the way it did when you bought
Speaker 1: it or not.
Speaker 2: Yes, or and it'll never fit that way again. Yeah. Interesting,
Speaker 2: I've not had that situation. I haven't tried on many dresses. Huh.
Speaker 1: So the CIA has done a lot of wacky things
Speaker 1: throughout the years, and a whole bunch of it has
Speaker 1: been to classified because after twenty five years or thirty
Speaker 1: years or fifty years or different rules for different levels
Speaker 1: of stuff, some of this stuff comes out some of
Speaker 1: this I've heard before.
Speaker 2: Some of this I'd never like.
Speaker 1: All this stuff about the way these ways we tried
Speaker 1: to kill fidela Castro I've heard many many times. Oh,
Speaker 1: a classic, We actually did try to poisonous cigar or
Speaker 1: have exploding cigars and kill him, or at least considered it.
Speaker 1: And a bunch of other stuff. But some of this
Speaker 1: new stuff I had not heard. The Osama bin Laden
Speaker 1: demon toy. The plan after nine eleven was going to
Speaker 1: make figurines that look like Osama bin Laden and give
Speaker 1: them to kids in South Asia. After being left in
Speaker 1: the sun for a certain amount of time, its face
Speaker 1: would peel off to reveal a demon like vision with
Speaker 1: red skin, green eyes, and black markings. The objective was
Speaker 1: to scare kids on their parents, so Ben Laden al
Speaker 1: Qaida would lose.
Speaker 3: Support points for creativity. Geese, how about a stick with me?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 3: How about a melting faced demon figurine?
Speaker 4: Sounds like they were on some bad acid. Yeah, wow,
Speaker 4: there are no bad ideas, Joe. Let's go with the
Speaker 4: Osama bin Laden demon face. This one's from the Cold War,
Speaker 4: but I don't think i'd heard this one before. The
Speaker 4: Cold War Condom drop plan CIA operatives drew up a
Speaker 4: plan to have packets of extra large condoms labeled a
Speaker 4: small on the USSR. The idea was to lower their morale.
Speaker 1: Wow, I can't is this small condoms still way too
Speaker 1: big for me?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 2: My must be tiny compared to the West.
Speaker 1: You know what, this tiny, I see no reason to
Speaker 1: fight for the Motherland. If I had a giant, I
Speaker 1: would lay down my life gladly for this correct till
Speaker 1: the end. But with this minuscule I'm just going home right.
Speaker 2: This is a devilish plan.
Speaker 1: That's hilarious.
Speaker 2: Wow. The acoustic Kitty.
Speaker 1: They basically put a microphone in a radio and a
Speaker 1: cat and released it in the Soviet embassy to wander
Speaker 1: around eavesdropping since nobody suspects a wandering cat.
Speaker 2: Wow, wow, poor cat.
Speaker 4: All of these ideas just sound like somebody was really high.
Speaker 2: To me, they really do.
Speaker 3: Dude, What if you're to like, put a microphone up
Speaker 3: a cat and then turn it loose because nobody's going
Speaker 3: to think of.
Speaker 2: Cats a spy? Most what if the cat spy pooped
Speaker 2: out the mic d then it totally be busted. What
Speaker 2: are they gonna do? Question the cat man?
Speaker 1: Most cats for Earth, Most places of work I've been in.
Speaker 1: You just don't ignore wandering straight cats in all ways.
Speaker 2: Oh it's a different time, another straight cat.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Jim as I was saying, the place to attack
Speaker 1: the United States is boy, but this is the one
Speaker 1: I wanted to get on because it backs up. I
Speaker 1: believe Hitler and I agree on one thing, and that
Speaker 1: is modern art is bogus. Wow, but modern art as
Speaker 1: a CIA weapon. Back during the sixties, the CIA noticed
Speaker 1: that artists tend to lean towards socialism communism. They realized
Speaker 1: the best way to prevent this or discredit these political
Speaker 1: positions was to make them wealthy so that they would
Speaker 1: be more invested in capitalism. To do this, the CAA
Speaker 1: anonymously bought modern art pieces, no matter how nonsensical, for
Speaker 1: very high prices, making a whole bunch of modern artists
Speaker 1: rich so they would embrace capitalism. So a lot of
Speaker 1: that modern art that got successful and sold was a
Speaker 1: CIA plot, not some discerning art collector.
Speaker 3: Hmmm, that makes the cat like sounds like a really
Speaker 3: good idea.
Speaker 2: I mean, good lord, really, what the wow? It was
Speaker 2: like a massive waste of money.
Speaker 3: I know it will do. I mean, what if they
Speaker 3: just like donated to the Communist Party.
Speaker 2: I don't like. That's just that is weak.
Speaker 1: She liked the Cat Microphone store better than the big fan.
Speaker 4: Of that one by Modern Art, huge fan.
Speaker 2: I'm not a cat.
Speaker 3: Did they give any any specific examples? I mean, like,
Speaker 3: is Andy Warhol entirely a product of the CIA's right,
Speaker 3: you know, writing checks?
Speaker 1: Nobody had any interest in those soup cans except for
Speaker 1: the CIA.
Speaker 2: Could be I don't know, doesn't say wow, wow, how
Speaker 2: interesting cat microphone that's your favorite idea?
Speaker 3: Yea, for a number of reasons, exactly the way they
Speaker 3: walk around with their tails up in the air. You
Speaker 3: could a camera, you know.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, when he turns at Orde, that's the camera
Speaker 4: at the wide angle.
Speaker 2: Well it has to be. I'm here a love. I'm
Speaker 2: not a cat, says the cat wandering around the embassy
