Speaker 1: places you can come. I feel like it lived up

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: to its explanation.

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 3: That was a cop attacked by a turkey, quacking at

22
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 3: it and calling it a chicken.

23
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: Bro put the turkey back.

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: You need to spend a little more time in a

00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 3: navy are or something.

26
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: Well, he's taunting the bird. That can't help you, know what.

27
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: A good cop tries to de escalate. Our beloved newsmen

28
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: of the past, Marshall Phillips would occasionally be confronted by

29
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: aggressive turkeys during hot, hot turkey lovin season, which we

30
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: are in, we have more turkeys in my neighborhood.

31
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: I gotta believe I got more turkeys around me than

32
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: anybody listening in America. It's shocking how many turkeys are

33
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 3: in my neighborhood. The big giant wild turkeys. They're huge

34
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: for one thing, absolutely gigantic and.

35
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: Mean as hell. During hot, hot, sexy turkey time.

36
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: When I drive home today, there will be six of

37
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 3: them sitting on my roof. Guaranteed eight more in the backyard.

38
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 3: They're all over the place. They don't cause any problems.

39
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: Sometimes they're a little loud, they.

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: Get into it.

41
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: Okay, So I got to handle this very delicately. Okay,

42
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: I want to handle it delicately for this very nice

43
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 3: mom who sent us a text.

44
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: I will switch into delicate mode on your advice, combined

45
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: with harsh mode I think is necessary. So this, this, well,

46
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: this is why we can't have nice things. As the

47
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: cliche goes, this is why demagoguing issues in politics works.

48
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: I guess so.

49
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 3: An hour three, if you didn't hear it, get the

50
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. Joe got into the

51
00:02:52,639 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 3: whole big beautiful bill Medicaid thing. We're getting ripped off

52
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: like crazy with Medicaid. We're gonna get into more of

53
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 3: it tomorrow with Craig Gottwalas, who is an expert in this.

54
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: But we're getting ripped off like crazy all kinds of

55
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: healthy people. You're paying for their health care and other

56
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 3: stuff for no good reason whatsoever other than then nobody

57
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: keeps track of this sort of thing.

58
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: And because it buys votes, that's like the entire reason

59
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: you're paying for it.

60
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 3: And Phil Graham, former senator from from Texas from back

61
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: in the day, tried to run for president once but

62
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 3: he's way too smart to be president, has a PhD

63
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: in economics, wrote a piece about how, no, this is

64
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: where the money is. You talk about Social Security, you know,

65
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: and cutbacks and everything like, No, the money where we

66
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 3: need to do something is in Medicaid. So we get

67
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: this text, Hey, I have a daughter who's disabled and

68
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: on Medicaid and Social Security, and I get to you

69
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 3: guys who are trying to get people riled up and

70
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: listening to show and I'm a strong Republican. But what

71
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: you're missing is and then she lays out the story

72
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 3: of how her disabled daughter can't take care of herself

73
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 3: at all, never will be able to in her life.

74
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: Unbelievable what you're dealing with. I can't even imagine, and

75
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 3: how she needs that money, and we don't have the

76
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 3: courage to call her back and talk to her and

77
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 3: get the facts on this story about her disabled daughter

78
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 3: and how much she needs mediciate.

79
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: There will not be a single disabled person affected in

80
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: any way by the proposed cuts, not one.

81
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 3: And there isn't a single person us or anybody else

82
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 3: arguing for someone like your daughter having their money cut.

83
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: You strenuously one hundred and eighty degrees in the other direction.

84
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 3: This is why you demagogue these issues though, because he

85
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 3: is it's sir that yes, her poor daughter and she

86
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: will be left high and drive by the mean Republicans.

87
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 3: That is one hundred eighty degrees opposite of the truth

88
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 3: you said. They've convinced her. We convinced her even with

89
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 3: you only talking about.

90
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: The scammers right.

91
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 3: Her takeaway was like you and I are in favor

92
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 3: of cutting her daughter's money. I mean, if that's the

93
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: way it lands, no wonder politicians don't come with on

94
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 3: one hundred miles of even trying to stop the sky

95
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: scumbag liars.

96
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, it's unfortunate, isn't it.

97
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 3: It is highly unfortunate. You could stand and we've seen this,

98
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 3: We've been doing this for a long time. You can,

99
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 3: as a politician, stand up in front of a crowd

100
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: and say, look, nobody here currently getting Social Security that's

101
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 3: over the age of sixty five will see any a

102
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 3: dime of that cut in their lifetime. But and then

103
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 3: everything after the butt gets portrayed as you, as an

104
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 3: old person, are gonna starve, right, And it's just there's

105
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: just no getting around it, apparently, right, Right, man, I

106
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 3: feel for you, ma'am. What a rough situation you're in

107
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 3: doing God's work trying to deal with that. But nobody

108
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 3: us or anybody is suggesting cutting the program for people

109
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 3: like your daughter. Nobody, right, We would have more money

110
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 3: for people like your daughter if the freaking healthy twenty

111
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 3: eight year old dude playing video games and laughing at

112
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: us wasn't getting all his stuff paid for, right. I

113
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 3: don't know what you do with the reality of this.

114
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: I think if you were to sit down with Carl

115
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: Rove and James Carvill, I'm trying to be by party

116
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: maybe Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Charles Crouthammer, Jesus and John Wayne.

117
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: They would that's quite a crowd, they would say, Jackie boy, Joseph,

118
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: here's the story. That's what Paula is grow up. You

119
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: always talk about trying to frighten or entice the herd

120
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: in one direction or another, as if you're too good

121
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: and too smart for that. That's politics.

122
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 3: I understand what you're saying, that the politicians go out

123
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: there and try to frighten you on this stuff. What

124
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 3: I'm concerned about is we made it clear we weren't trying.

125
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 3: We weren't claiming they're coming for your to take your

126
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 3: disabled daughter's medic care. Politicians will say that sort of

127
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: stuff Medicaid.

128
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, we weren't.

129
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: We were saying the opposite, and it's still landed as

130
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 3: if we were.

131
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: That's what troubles me. Yeah, I think that's squarely in

132
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: the department of things. I can't do anything about. It's

133
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: it's striking. I totally get your being troubled by that.

134
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 3: Like I said, if you're a politician, you get up

135
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 3: on stage and make it clear that I'm not interested

136
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: in cutting your social security. But people walk out of

137
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 3: the room thinking they're going to take my social secure. Yeah,

138
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: well that we're done here then I.

139
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: Guess yes, correct, as a as a country, you mean, yes,

140
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: or as a system of government people, well right, self

141
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: governance doesn't work, that's my point. M uh yeah. Well

142
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: the great Scottish philosopher what's his face? Uh with the

143
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, the republic will last only until the populace

144
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: realizes they can vote themselves money from the treasury. And

145
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: and what he didn't suspect is that, or maybe he did,

146
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: was that there that politicians would be able to convince

147
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: virtually all of the population that any effort to rein

148
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: that in was indeed an attack on them and their

149
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: well being. So uh yeah, it just it doesn't work. Uh.

150
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: The great you know, overarching Joe Getty principle, there are

151
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: actually several of them, many of them contradict each other,

152
00:08:55,240 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: is that all systems can last only until those who

153
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: had gained the system win over those who would protect

154
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: a system. And it's like, you know, the constant battle

155
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: between hackers and cybersecurity experts. There comes a point in

156
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: a like a governmental system where accommodation of manipulating the

157
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: voters and then manipulating the systems behind the scenes becomes

158
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: so sophisticated that the immune system of democracy is insufficient.

159
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: It's like a septic infection in the bloodstream. So monarchy now,

160
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm old. You all figured out. Good luck.

161
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 3: If you're old already, nobody is going to touch your

162
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 3: social security period. Now, if you are actually disabled, nobody's

163
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: going to take your money.

164
00:09:52,920 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: Period. Nobody wants to. Nobody's even suggested it, right, and

165
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: yet it is the easiest cell in the world. If

166
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: any Republicans say we're gonna rain in medicaid waste fraud abuse,

167
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna come take the money out of the mouths

168
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: of your disabled children, and people believe them. So what

169
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: are you gonna do. I'm in an accepting mood today.

170
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: I have accepted it, probably because I'm excited about my

171
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: new political party party. The F y'all it cans. You

172
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: gotta have.

173
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 3: AI design a logo, because that's a good I like

174
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: the capital F capital y apostrophe, a L L.

175
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: Dash I dash cans F y'all it cans. We need

176
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: an animal, though, maybe the turkey is the donkey and

177
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: the elephant, or taken clearly, maybe we have the Turkey

178
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: has heard in a.

179
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: Previous clip which Ben Franklin wanted to be our national bird.

180
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: So enough politics. I've got a couple of stories about business,

181
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: about you know, personal wealth, that sort of thing. Number one,

182
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: so you're a crypto zillionaire, I'd start carrying a gun,

183
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: hiding a guard and keeping your fingers hidden. Secondly, pipes,

184
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: who's making the real money? What's the way to wealth?

185
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: Become one of the stealthy wealthy the stealthy wealthy. It's

186
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 1: doable and better yet it rhymes.

187
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 3: Also, I watched the Minecraft movie with Henry over the weekend.

188
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 3: I want to talk, Yeah, I want to talk about

189
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: a couple of notable things that I think might be

190
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 3: the future of motion pictures. Jack Black is so fat

191
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 3: and greasy and doesn't care. That's what's interesting about him.

192
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 3: He's got to be one of the biggest movie stars

193
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 3: in the world, very very big in terms.

194
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: Of making moneyms to be unbathed. He does not.

195
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 3: Care at all. I think he shows up to he

196
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 3: doesn't care how he looks at all. Didn't comb his hair,

197
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 3: he doesn't find a shirt that fits, he doesn't wash

198
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 3: his face. Yeah, it's weird anyway, more on that Later's

199
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 3: there the Minecraft movie. Over the weekend with my son

200
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 3: Henry and I was about to talk about it, and

201
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 3: I thought I should look up a little of how

202
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: successful this movie was to back up my premise, and

203
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 3: I googled it first. Then I remembered what you keep saying, No,

204
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 3: you got to use the chat gptwo, I'm trying to

205
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 3: get out of the habit.

206
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: Of googling and go to chat gpt.

207
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: The answer I got on chat GPT about I just

208
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 3: asked chat gpt, was the Minecraft movie a financial success?

209
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 3: It's answer so much better and thorough than googling it,

210
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 3: I mean, not even close. So I got to get

211
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 3: out of the habit of googling. Anyway, a Minecraft movie

212
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: has made almost a billion dollars worldwide after a budget

213
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 3: to make it of only one hundred and fifty million dollars,

214
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 3: which I gotta believe all of the filming of the

215
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 3: acting of that movie could have been done in an

216
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 3: afternoon probably. I mean, there wasn't much to it, and

217
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 3: it was all so much was green screen. It was

218
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 3: all CGI stuff and everything like that. And like I mentioned,

219
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 3: Jack Black, what an interesting dude. I don't know, is

220
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 3: he married or not. I've seen him in various interviews.

221
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 3: He's certainly not trying to impress chicks. He wears ill

222
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 3: fitting clothes, he doesn't wash his face or coma's hair.

223
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 3: He rolls in, does his lines brilliantly because he's really good,

224
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 3: and then collects his money and goes home. What an

225
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 3: interesting thing that is? What movie star has never wanted

226
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: to care how they look? Like Jack Black, he keeps

227
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 3: getting fatter and greasier anyway. I mean, you canna be

228
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 3: fat if you want. Maybe you think that's part of

229
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 3: your appeal. You can wash your face AnyWho. The Minecraft movie,

230
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 3: first of all, way better than I expected it to be.

231
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 1: I thought it was.

232
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 3: It was only an hour forty five, but I thought, uh,

233
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 3: I thought this is gonna be kind of tough to

234
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 3: sit through. And it was quite entertaining, pretty dang funny

235
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 3: by the end it had it reminded me of like

236
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 3: all your Lord of the Rings movies. Okay, another giant

237
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 3: fight sequence. I just I can't do fight sequences like

238
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 3: a lot of people can, apparently endlessly. I get it.

239
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 3: But my main takeaway was, and if I was rich,

240
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 3: I would start for like really like Elon Rich I

241
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 3: would come up with this idea today. It was basically

242
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 3: a series of popular memes that young people get strung

243
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 3: together so that everybody could laugh together about Hey, I

244
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: get this meme and feel part of something. That's what

245
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 3: it seemed like to me. And I'll bet you could

246
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: put one of those out once a month of just

247
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 3: whatever the most re hot memes were, right, make it

248
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 3: like ninety minutes long. It's just a series of meme

249
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 3: jokes that every teenager gets and things so the hilarious

250
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 3: and it would be super popular because that's basically what

251
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 3: the Minecraft movie was.

252
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: So just a recognition slash belonging fest.

253
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, because other things aren't really working, but partially because

254
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 3: this is a reason to be together in the theater.

255
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 3: Is fun to recognize the memes together. It was clear

256
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 3: from my older son when he went and saw it

257
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 3: in the theater that that was a lot of the

258
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: appeal was all these inside jokes that they get and

259
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: laugh at, and it's fun to see him in a group.

260
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 3: I think this is a way to rescue movies. It's

261
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 3: gonna kill old time movies. But like just I don't know,

262
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 3: the most popular memes put together ninety minutes with a

263
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 3: loose script.

264
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: I think that would right. Somebody steal that idea and

265
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: make it work. Well, it's either like irony or a

266
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: perpetual motion machine or something that online memes. The enjoyment

267
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: of online memes together Yeah, in a room might convince kids,

268
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: hey this is really fun. Wow, good point.

269
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 3: Hello, But Mike constantly, my son was saying, I know

270
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 3: you don't get that, but to various things that were happening,

271
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 3: characters and lines and stuff like that, because they're here today.

272
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: I mean, you could have had a movie where the

273
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 3: Hawktua girl was, you know, a co star there for

274
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 3: a couple of coffee. Oh please don't, but you're and

275
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 3: people would have go fought with laughter though you know

276
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 3: they mean them studios.

277
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: Yes, oh yes, now you gotta start producing these. This

278
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: is your ten million dollar idea. It's fine. I thought,

279
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: I'll get another co host. I thought of Friday Night.

280
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 3: I thought, this is actual brilliant idea. It would just

281
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 3: take a lot of money to get a going.

282
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: You know, you'd have to pay for rights, but you'd

283
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: have lawyers to do that. That'd be easy. Uh yeah, wow,

284
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: that's a great idea. Just your monthly meme cinema.

285
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and all the teenagers get together and feel

286
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 3: cooler and smarter than the rest.

287
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: Of us because they get all the jokes right. Yeah.

288
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 3: We bought it though, cost twenty bucks. So minecraft's available

289
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 3: at home now for streaming, but it was twenty bucks

290
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: to in it.

291
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: I think it's got about a six month run. Your idea,

292
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: Oh really, don't like. Don't invest too heavily thinking next

293
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: year will be even bigger. Trust me, Armstrong and getty.

294
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 3: Person in charge of CBS News just step down. So

295
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 3: first it was the producer of sixty Minutes a couple

296
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 3: of weeks ago, and now the leader of CBS News

297
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 3: saying it's become clear that the company I do not

298
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 3: agree on the path forward.

299
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 1: You know there's some stuff from sixty Minutes we were

300
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: hoping to squeeze in today.

301
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 3: We got to talk about tomorrow better now, Yes it is, Yeah,

302
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 3: let's hold all that stuff over. Sixty Minutes feels exactly

303
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 3: like it used to feel to me when I used

304
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 3: to watch it.

305
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: When I was younger. Now, so the guy who quit

306
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 1: in a huff, the head guy, because I'm getting too

307
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: much corporate pressure to twist the show into being watchable again, unbelievable.

308
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: That story how much which China is spying on us?

309
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: Last night?

310
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 3: Man, watch it if you haven't seen it, we'll talk

311
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,719
Speaker 3: about it tomorrow with sixty minutes feature. China is spying

312
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 3: on us in a way that no country has ever

313
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 3: spied on any country ever.

314
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: Probably uh yeah, yeah, absolutely true. Boy, I'm amazed. I'm

315
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: working with chat GPT to try to create I gotta

316
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: go to the paid version. I'm trying to create a

317
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: logo for the f Yolikin Party because f y'all, not

318
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: you good people, but just politicians and here's friends. I

319
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about in some of the texts.

320
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: So I said, design me a logo for the political

321
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: for a political party called the f Yolikin Party. Our

322
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: mascot is a bald eagle. The logo should use red,

323
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: white and blue, and it says I can generate a

324
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: logo for the f Yolikin Party featuring a bald eagle

325
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: in red, white and blue color scheme. Before I do,

326
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: could you clarify the tone you're aiming for, for example,

327
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: serious and patriotic like a traditional political logo, satirical or humorous,

328
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: leaning into the edgy name bold and rebellious in a

329
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: punk American rebel style, picked up on the edgy name. Yeah,

330
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: I know, I'm a little troubling. It's been a little

331
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: frustrating to get it to do what I want it

332
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: to do. In some ways that are funny. I keep

333
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: telling it to have the effing eagle face to the right,

334
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: and it keeps having it face left. But other than that,

335
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: it's it's amazing.

336
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 3: How patriotic you I want it to be? Like if

337
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 3: Lee Greenwood ate a flag, what would come out of him?

338
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 3: That's what I want, right exactly, So totally different topic.

339
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 3: The screams echoed down the narrow street in a trendy

340
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 3: neighborhood in early morning Paris.

341
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: Help Help, Help Help. Three men in black masks had

342
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: jumped on a thirty four year old woman and her

343
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: toddler and tried to throw them into an idling white

344
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: van disguised as a delivery truck. Luckily, her husband threw

345
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: himself between the attackers and his family. A neighbor hustled

346
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: the child away, screams yells. The husband was battered with

347
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: a wrench. Bloody blah blah blah. So all because this

348
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: chick's father runs a French cryptocurrency exchange, and she's got

349
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: a hell of a lot of it, apparently li bitcoin

350
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: around the world. This Braisen attack latest in the series

351
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,719
Speaker 1: of violent abductions, including several in the US, targeting crypto

352
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: executives and their families. Victims have been pistol whipped to

353
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: abduct it and in two cases had fingers severed, actually

354
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: cut off their fingers. Yes, to use their fingerprints to

355
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: open accounts. Wow barbaric, I would agree, fans of Retina Scam.

356
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: Oh boy. The assaults are often called wrench attacks because

357
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: they rely on simple tools for inflicting pain to course

358
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: victims rather than sophisticated tools for hacking them. Can the

359
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: guy hit me with the Wrinch's why I called it that? Yes? Yes, essentially. Yes.

360
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: Hacking has long been the primary risk for the crypto rich.

361
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: But to thwart hackers, savvy cryptocurrency investors have increasingly taken

362
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,959
Speaker 1: their digital wallets offline in favor of physical devices a

363
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 1: thumb drive in a safe, making remote theft more difficult.

364
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: But real world bash over the head crypto crime bypasses

365
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: those those safeguards.

366
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,959
Speaker 3: Obviously, do I get the option like put your thumb

367
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 3: on this, or we're gonna cut your thumb off, or

368
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 3: do they just take my thumb?

369
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: I think this is probably a period of negotiation, but

370
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. These concerns intensified this week with a

371
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase disclosing that as many as ninety seven

372
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: thousand customers had their personal information stolen, including addresses and

373
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: snapshots of their balance. Oh, Joe Jones of one two

374
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: three Main Street has eleven million dollars in crypto. Why

375
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: that's just on the other side of town. Perhaps we'll

376
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: bash him in the head with a wrench, cut off

377
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: his finger and take his money. Say the scumbags, Wow wow,

378
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, if you're smart and savvy, you keep

379
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: your crazy wealth to yourself. Do you have any crypto?

380
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: I do not at this point. No, I do not either.

381
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: I've kicked myself for that a number of times. I

382
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 1: have a friend who is a savvy financial guy, and

383
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: a guy, for reasons of the way his marriage was

384
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: set up, could do more or less whatever he wanted quickly.

385
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: He didn't have the sort of setup where hey, sweetheart,

386
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of doing this and this for these reasons,

387
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: Should we free up enough money? No? He would just

388
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: do it, and he literally paid for his kids college

389
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: education with crypto profits. Wow, got in and got out

390
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: at the right time, because it can all of it. Yes,

391
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: you can definitely go the other way. You make too

392
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: much money. You got to four fingers on each hand,

393
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: oh boy. In September of Florida man was sentenced to

394
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: forty seven years in prison for leading a ring that

395
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: carried out a string of home invasions across multiple states

396
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: in search of crypto riches, and one of the attacks,

397
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: the men held a pink revolver I'm not sure why

398
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: the color of the revolver is important to the head

399
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: of a seventy six year old Durham, North Carolina man

400
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: and threatened to cut off his genitals. The victim to

401
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: your pink revolver, is yours a revolver, mine's not. The

402
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: victim eventually transferred one hundred and fifty grand worth of

403
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: crypto to the attacker, who was later ordered to pay

404
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: a great deal more than that restitution to his victims

405
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: as part of the sentencing. Blah blah blah, it's happened

406
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: in France a bunch of different places. Just crazy. So anyway,

407
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: guard your crypto your fingers and your genitals. Folks, it's

408
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: crazy times. You know, I'm going to skip over. Will

409
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: anyone take the factory jobs Trump wants to bring back

410
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: to America? The answer is no, no, oh they won't.

411
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: But we can talk about that more later. Because I

412
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: wanted to get to this meet the stealthy wealthy who

413
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: make their money the boring way, and I found it

414
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: really interesting and inspiring in an American dream kind of way.

415
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal with an article the subhead is

416
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: the road to Riches is paved with cup holders, burgers

417
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: and miles of elementary school carpeting. And these are people

418
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: who discovered a Nietche business like this. One guy who

419
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: points out his name is Derek Derek Olsen. He's made

420
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: a fortune making machines that rip up flooring like carpeting

421
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: in elementary schools. This is how sexy it is, He says.

422
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: The average elementary school in the US has seven miles

423
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: of carpet, and children are disgusting. So elementary schools basically

424
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: need their floors redone almost every summer. It's this Nietzsche

425
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: industry that nobody knows about and everybody needs. So he

426
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: made his fortune on tearing up the floor machines every

427
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: elementary school in America needs every couple of years.

428
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 3: Reminds me of that guy that used to call her

429
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 3: emails all the time, who was a cleaned up crime

430
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 3: scenes and made lots of money. Yeah, because when there's

431
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 3: a crime, somebody's got to clean it up.

432
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: He did it. Yeah. So's here's another great example that

433
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: I really liked. It's uh and this is a business

434
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: that a lot of people are familiar with. MOBA. They

435
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: talk about a guy who has studied this and how

436
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: it's absolutely legit. That's the way to get rich.

437
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 3: Oh.

438
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: The story of David McNeil, who's the founder of weather Tech,

439
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: the car accessories, the super durable floor mats and everything.

440
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: He was working as a tool and die maker he

441
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: dropped out of college. He sold cars. He rented a

442
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: car on a trip to Scotland in nineteen eighty nine

443
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: and immediately noticed its thick rubber floor mats that had

444
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: a border to prevent water and mud from running off.

445
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: And they're like the best he'd ever seen. So when

446
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: he got back home to Chicago, he called the English

447
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: manufacturer and eventually worked out a deal to buy a

448
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 1: twenty foot shipping container of the black mats to sell

449
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: in the US. He took out a second mortgage on

450
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: his home to do this. Wow. By the end of

451
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,239
Speaker 1: ninety one, I made forty thousand dollars. By the end

452
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: of ninety two, I made one hundred and sixty thousand.

453
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: By the end of ninety three, I made four hundred thousand.

454
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: While all of this was going on. If you called

455
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: my eight hundred number at three o'clock in the morning,

456
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: you know who would answer it. I would Wow. Yeah,

457
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: I love stories like that. Yeah. He now employs eighteen

458
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: hundred people in Bowling Brook, Illinois, makes nearly its entire

459
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: range of car accessories and other products in the US.

460
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: His company expects to bring in eight hundred million dollars

461
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: in revenue this year.

462
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, yeah, Well they're having good ideas. I only

463
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 3: have dumb ideas. Why all my ideas are stupid?

464
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: Yeah? I know, Homer Simpson, you and me both all three.

465
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: Larry Fleming eighty years old. He'd bought Wendy's franchise, then

466
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: another one, and then he he had a beer distributorship,

467
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: a small one, but he noticed that it was really

468
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: making more money than the other stuff and was less work.

469
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: So he just started, you know, saving his money, buying

470
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: a little more territory and a little more territory, and

471
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: his blah blah blah bah bah. His beer distributorship, which

472
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: sells to the eastern halves of Oklahoma and Kansas, has

473
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: a sixty four percent market share in Oklahoma is annual

474
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: sales approach two hundred and fifty million dollars. I don't

475
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: know how much he clears on that, but it's just

476
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: that's that's the way you get rich in America because

477
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: the tech guys who have, you know, specialized skills, and

478
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: they get a lot of press these days. And I

479
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: know a handful of guys who've done very well in tech.

480
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: I don't have what they have, but the ability to say, hey,

481
00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: I really like this product. I'll bet other people will too.

482
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: I think I can borrow enough money to get started

483
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: and then work like a maniac. That's what this country

484
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: is all about. Awesome, Yeah, I thought that was cool.

485
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: The stealthy, wealthy jack and it rhymes. What was the story?

486
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: You skipped out a question about that? Who will take

487
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: the factory jobs that Donald Trump wants to bring back

488
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: to America? Right?

489
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 3: That's an interesting one illegal immigrants if you can get

490
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 3: them otherwise nobody, right. I've heard a number of people

491
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 3: number there's something like that, there's one hundred and forty

492
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 3: thousand empty manufacturing jobs right now, right before we even

493
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 3: bring back more manufacturing jobs. But there is I've heard

494
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 3: a couple of people say this. This is an original

495
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 3: idea on my part.

496
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: There is this.

497
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 3: Kind of belief out there that it would be really

498
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 3: great to have more manufacturing jobs for like some imaginary

499
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 3: person you're kind of picturing that wants it and would

500
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 3: take it. But you're not thinking of yourself, right, You're

501
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 3: not thinking of like you were your kids. Probably you're

502
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 3: thinking there's some other people.

503
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: That would really like it.

504
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 3: If there's a big factory at the edge of town,

505
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 3: they could go. You know, I don't know, put something

506
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 3: in a box all day long for decent wage. I

507
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 3: don't want to do it, and I don't want my

508
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 3: kids to do it. But I'm sure there are plenty

509
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 3: of people that would like to. And it's just kind

510
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 3: of not true. Yeah.

511
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: This article actually opens with a description of Quaker City

512
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: castings in Salem, Ohio. Six am every weekday, a group

513
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: of sturdy framed men and steel toed boots. Clock into

514
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: the factory to build sand moles molds rather pour molten

515
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 1: metal and grind iron and steel castings. Tiring, hazardous, dirty job.

516
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: This is the work politicians lie in eyes, but Americans

517
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: often don't want. You know though, I do have this story.

518
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 3: Maybe it's just anecdotal and doesn't mean anything, but I

519
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 3: had a friend in college married my college roommate, and

520
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 3: they went off and started their lives. And she got

521
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 3: a job working at a factory that put the little

522
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 3: explosive thing in air bags for cars. That's what she did,

523
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 3: stood on a conveyor belt that went by. But she

524
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 3: was a good, hard working person, showed up and did

525
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 3: what she told her anything like that, and moved up

526
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 3: very quickly. And before he knew it was like flying

527
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 3: around on a plane going to the other factories, talking

528
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 3: to people that did incredibly well for herself.

529
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: Wow. And they retired early and just had a great life.

530
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: Show up and work hard. Amazing. Yeah. Yeah, now, final

531
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: note on this, then we can move on. But there

532
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: are huge swaths of America where this sort of job

533
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: used to be available. The pay is actually declined, inflation

534
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: justted for a couple of reasons we could talk about

535
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: in manufacturing. But there are a hell of a lot

536
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: of people on fake disability, for instance, on the government.

537
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: But you win votes by keeping them on the dole.

538
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: You win no votes by telling them get to work.

539
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: There's a Quaker City Castings plant opening at the edge

540
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: of town, right, what are you gonna do?

541
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 3: There's hardly anything more annoying to me than maybe it's

542
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 3: gonna because I've done a lot of hard physical jobs

543
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 3: in my life. But the idea of being a physically

544
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 3: okay dude in his twenties who's living off of my money,

545
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 3: my taxes because you refuse to work at Quaker City

546
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 3: Castings or anything else, or yeah, that really really annoys me.

547
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 3: We will finish strong. Next, this is Crown Prince.

548
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 4: Mahava ben Selden, and we're together now getting of course,

549
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 4: but we are vibing.

550
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: You are too kind.

551
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 4: But We've been having a lot of fun in the

552
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 4: Middle East.

553
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: I've been having a great time. We've been eating a

554
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: lot of meals.

555
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 4: Sitting on the floor, dipping our fingers straight into various

556
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 4: goops and spreads that I politely scrape under the rug

557
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 4: and go eat it at mobile McDonald's that you've built

558
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 4: for me?

559
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: Isn't that on bab bah bah bah bah? He's loving it.

560
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 3: That guy who does trump on Satura nib is so funny.

561
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 3: I mean we had him before he was on SNL,

562
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 3: Is that right?

563
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: Yeah? He did us a video Instagram style in his

564
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: car that had a torn like ceiling liner.

565
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: It looked like he was on foot stamps, like he

566
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 3: was living in his car, and he may have been.

567
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 3: And he ad libbed some hilarious stuff. We should do

568
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 3: that for the podcast because I'm sure Katie has never

569
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 3: heard of it, and a lot of us our listeners

570
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 3: have never heard of It's pretty funny.

571
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: But Dulla was I gonna say, Oh.

572
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 3: I wonder how much of that he had libs, because

573
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 3: we know because we hired him to do some stuff

574
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 3: that he had libbed and was freaking hilarious. And when

575
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 3: I was watching Sarah Olive, I thought, I'll bet he

576
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 3: had libbed a lot. When he went and sat in

577
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 3: the audience there right before the uh uh introduced the show,

578
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 3: I thought that looked all ad lib to me.

579
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: He's a funny guy. Again. My favorite line from that

580
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: whole thing was I said I was.

581
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 3: In abba dabi abi abba dabi doo a aba dabado

582
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 3: Like the great, late great Fred Flintstone.

583
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: What final? Here's the thoughts, Final Final. Here's your host

584
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 1: for final thoughts, Joe Getty. Let's get a finals up

585
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: from everybody on the crew to wrap things up to

586
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: the day. There he is our technical director of Michael

587
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,239
Speaker 1: Angelow pressing the buttons. Michael, what's your final thoughts? I

588
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: love Jack's idea about having a movie based on memes,

589
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: but what you need is something at the beginning of

590
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: each film that explains the memes to older people like

591
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: me because I can't keep up.

592
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 3: That's the appeal to the teenagers though, That's what I

593
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 3: noticed both my sons like, it's the fact that we

594
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 3: don't get it, that it's an inside joke for them.

595
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: That's what they lost. In fact. Michael o'fellow like, you

596
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: would be banned from the theater when our new brainstorm, Jack,

597
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna rip it off hits the screen. Katie

598
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: Green is an assignment covering the Mexican Navy crashing into bridges. Jack,

599
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: do you have a final thought now?

600
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 3: Basically going to tease a story for tomorrow that just

601
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 3: broke from the Washington Post. An exclusive police secretly monitored

602
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 3: New Orleans with facial recognition cameras after that terrorist attack.

603
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 3: It's the first known use of this widespread in America,

604
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 3: and it happened secretly.

605
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: Interesting. All right, that's a topic for another day. So

606
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: my logo for the f Y'allikan's party is coming along.

607
