WEBVTT - All Of My Ideas Are Stupid

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arm Strong

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:12.480
<v Speaker 1>and Jakie. I know he.

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Yetty, So I'm gonna describe this the way

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:29.040
<v Speaker 2>it was described by Katie and then we'll listen to it.

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>This is a cop.

0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 3>Uh attacked by a turkey, quacks at it like a

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 3>duck and calls it a chicken.

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Here we go and chicken.

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 3>What is.

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Quick?

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:51.880
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Come on quick, hag hack hack up? Somebody beck, I'm

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>getting what ye back off? Okay, here's your stuff back.

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll be right back.

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 3>Man.

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving a second except for I'm getting. I feel

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>like it. I feel like I can for all the

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>places you can come. I feel like it lived up

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:14.680
<v Speaker 1>to its explanation.

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 3>That was a cop attacked by a turkey, quacking at

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:19.039
<v Speaker 3>it and calling it a chicken.

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Bro put the turkey back.

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 3>You need to spend a little more time in a

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:27.759
<v Speaker 3>navy are or something.

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, he's taunting the bird. That can't help you, know what.

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:38.040
<v Speaker 1>A good cop tries to de escalate. Our beloved newsmen

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.039
<v Speaker 1>of the past, Marshall Phillips would occasionally be confronted by

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>aggressive turkeys during hot, hot turkey lovin season, which we

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>are in, we have more turkeys in my neighborhood.

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 3>I gotta believe I got more turkeys around me than

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 3>anybody listening in America. It's shocking how many turkeys are

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 3>in my neighborhood. The big giant wild turkeys. They're huge

0:01:55.640 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 3>for one thing, absolutely gigantic and.

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Mean as hell. During hot, hot, sexy turkey time.

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 3>When I drive home today, there will be six of

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:10.239
<v Speaker 3>them sitting on my roof. Guaranteed eight more in the backyard.

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 3>They're all over the place. They don't cause any problems.

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes they're a little loud, they.

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Get into it.

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So I got to handle this very delicately. Okay,

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 3>I want to handle it delicately for this very nice

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:28.360
<v Speaker 3>mom who sent us a text.

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:32.920
<v Speaker 1>I will switch into delicate mode on your advice, combined

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 1>with harsh mode I think is necessary. So this, this, well,

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 1>this is why we can't have nice things. As the

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>cliche goes, this is why demagoguing issues in politics works.

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I guess so.

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 3>An hour three, if you didn't hear it, get the

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 3>podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. Joe got into the

0:02:52.639 --> 0:03:00.800
<v Speaker 3>whole big beautiful bill Medicaid thing. We're getting ripped off

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 3>like crazy with Medicaid. We're gonna get into more of

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 3>it tomorrow with Craig Gottwalas, who is an expert in this.

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 3>But we're getting ripped off like crazy all kinds of

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 3>healthy people. You're paying for their health care and other

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.640
<v Speaker 3>stuff for no good reason whatsoever other than then nobody

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 3>keeps track of this sort of thing.

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 1>And because it buys votes, that's like the entire reason

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>you're paying for it.

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 3>And Phil Graham, former senator from from Texas from back

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 3>in the day, tried to run for president once but

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.079
<v Speaker 3>he's way too smart to be president, has a PhD

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 3>in economics, wrote a piece about how, no, this is

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 3>where the money is. You talk about Social Security, you know,

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 3>and cutbacks and everything like, No, the money where we

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 3>need to do something is in Medicaid. So we get

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 3>this text, Hey, I have a daughter who's disabled and

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 3>on Medicaid and Social Security, and I get to you

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 3>guys who are trying to get people riled up and

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 3>listening to show and I'm a strong Republican. But what

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 3>you're missing is and then she lays out the story

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 3>of how her disabled daughter can't take care of herself

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 3>at all, never will be able to in her life.

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:15.680
<v Speaker 3>Unbelievable what you're dealing with. I can't even imagine, and

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.839
<v Speaker 3>how she needs that money, and we don't have the

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:20.839
<v Speaker 3>courage to call her back and talk to her and

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.840
<v Speaker 3>get the facts on this story about her disabled daughter

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:25.839
<v Speaker 3>and how much she needs mediciate.

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:31.159
<v Speaker 1>There will not be a single disabled person affected in

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 1>any way by the proposed cuts, not one.

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 3>And there isn't a single person us or anybody else

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:43.480
<v Speaker 3>arguing for someone like your daughter having their money cut.

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>You strenuously one hundred and eighty degrees in the other direction.

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.720
<v Speaker 3>This is why you demagogue these issues though, because he

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.840
<v Speaker 3>is it's sir that yes, her poor daughter and she

0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 3>will be left high and drive by the mean Republicans.

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 3>That is one hundred eighty degrees opposite of the truth

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:06.839
<v Speaker 3>you said. They've convinced her. We convinced her even with

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:08.960
<v Speaker 3>you only talking about.

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.479
<v Speaker 1>The scammers right.

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 3>Her takeaway was like you and I are in favor

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:18.800
<v Speaker 3>of cutting her daughter's money. I mean, if that's the

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 3>way it lands, no wonder politicians don't come with on

0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.720
<v Speaker 3>one hundred miles of even trying to stop the sky

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 3>scumbag liars.

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Right. Yeah, it's unfortunate, isn't it.

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 3>It is highly unfortunate. You could stand and we've seen this,

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 3>We've been doing this for a long time. You can,

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.479
<v Speaker 3>as a politician, stand up in front of a crowd

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 3>and say, look, nobody here currently getting Social Security that's

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.839
<v Speaker 3>over the age of sixty five will see any a

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.600
<v Speaker 3>dime of that cut in their lifetime. But and then

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 3>everything after the butt gets portrayed as you, as an

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 3>old person, are gonna starve, right, And it's just there's

0:05:56.520 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 3>just no getting around it, apparently, right, Right, man, I

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.680
<v Speaker 3>feel for you, ma'am. What a rough situation you're in

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 3>doing God's work trying to deal with that. But nobody

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:14.480
<v Speaker 3>us or anybody is suggesting cutting the program for people

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:19.239
<v Speaker 3>like your daughter. Nobody, right, We would have more money

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 3>for people like your daughter if the freaking healthy twenty

0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.600
<v Speaker 3>eight year old dude playing video games and laughing at

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 3>us wasn't getting all his stuff paid for, right. I

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.479
<v Speaker 3>don't know what you do with the reality of this.

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I think if you were to sit down with Carl

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Rove and James Carvill, I'm trying to be by party

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Charles Crouthammer, Jesus and John Wayne.

0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 1>They would that's quite a crowd, they would say, Jackie boy, Joseph,

0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 1>here's the story. That's what Paula is grow up. You

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.479
<v Speaker 1>always talk about trying to frighten or entice the herd

0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 1>in one direction or another, as if you're too good

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 1>and too smart for that. That's politics.

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 3>I understand what you're saying, that the politicians go out

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 3>there and try to frighten you on this stuff. What

0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:22.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm concerned about is we made it clear we weren't trying.

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 3>We weren't claiming they're coming for your to take your

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 3>disabled daughter's medic care. Politicians will say that sort of

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 3>stuff Medicaid.

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we weren't.

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.800
<v Speaker 3>We were saying the opposite, and it's still landed as

0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:36.560
<v Speaker 3>if we were.

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 1>That's what troubles me. Yeah, I think that's squarely in

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the department of things. I can't do anything about. It's

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>it's striking. I totally get your being troubled by that.

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 3>Like I said, if you're a politician, you get up

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 3>on stage and make it clear that I'm not interested

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 3>in cutting your social security. But people walk out of

0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 3>the room thinking they're going to take my social secure. Yeah,

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 3>well that we're done here then I.

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Guess yes, correct, as a as a country, you mean, yes,

0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>or as a system of government people, well right, self

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 1>governance doesn't work, that's my point. M uh yeah. Well

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 1>the great Scottish philosopher what's his face? Uh with the

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:22.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, the republic will last only until the populace

0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 1>realizes they can vote themselves money from the treasury. And

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>and what he didn't suspect is that, or maybe he did,

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:33.679
<v Speaker 1>was that there that politicians would be able to convince

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>virtually all of the population that any effort to rein

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that in was indeed an attack on them and their

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 1>well being. So uh yeah, it just it doesn't work. Uh.

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 1>The great you know, overarching Joe Getty principle, there are

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 1>actually several of them, many of them contradict each other,

0:08:55.240 --> 0:09:01.880
<v Speaker 1>is that all systems can last only until those who

0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:06.840
<v Speaker 1>had gained the system win over those who would protect

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:10.040
<v Speaker 1>a system. And it's like, you know, the constant battle

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 1>between hackers and cybersecurity experts. There comes a point in

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:20.959
<v Speaker 1>a like a governmental system where accommodation of manipulating the

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 1>voters and then manipulating the systems behind the scenes becomes

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 1>so sophisticated that the immune system of democracy is insufficient.

0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:36.040
<v Speaker 1>It's like a septic infection in the bloodstream. So monarchy now,

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I'm old. You all figured out. Good luck.

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:45.679
<v Speaker 3>If you're old already, nobody is going to touch your

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 3>social security period. Now, if you are actually disabled, nobody's

0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:52.760
<v Speaker 3>going to take your money.

0:09:52.920 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Period. Nobody wants to. Nobody's even suggested it, right, and

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.960
<v Speaker 1>yet it is the easiest cell in the world. If

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:07.080
<v Speaker 1>any Republicans say we're gonna rain in medicaid waste fraud abuse,

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.560
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna come take the money out of the mouths

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:13.600
<v Speaker 1>of your disabled children, and people believe them. So what

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:19.960
<v Speaker 1>are you gonna do. I'm in an accepting mood today.

0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I have accepted it, probably because I'm excited about my

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 1>new political party party. The F y'all it cans. You

0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:28.920
<v Speaker 1>gotta have.

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 3>AI design a logo, because that's a good I like

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:38.240
<v Speaker 3>the capital F capital y apostrophe, a L L.

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Dash I dash cans F y'all it cans. We need

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 1>an animal, though, maybe the turkey is the donkey and

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.840
<v Speaker 1>the elephant, or taken clearly, maybe we have the Turkey

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:55.880
<v Speaker 1>has heard in a.

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 3>Previous clip which Ben Franklin wanted to be our national bird.

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.720
<v Speaker 1>So enough politics. I've got a couple of stories about business,

0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 1>about you know, personal wealth, that sort of thing. Number one,

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:10.280
<v Speaker 1>so you're a crypto zillionaire, I'd start carrying a gun,

0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:15.240
<v Speaker 1>hiding a guard and keeping your fingers hidden. Secondly, pipes,

0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 1>who's making the real money? What's the way to wealth?

0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Become one of the stealthy wealthy the stealthy wealthy. It's

0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.719
<v Speaker 1>doable and better yet it rhymes.

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.320
<v Speaker 3>Also, I watched the Minecraft movie with Henry over the weekend.

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.680
<v Speaker 3>I want to talk, Yeah, I want to talk about

0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 3>a couple of notable things that I think might be

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:43.280
<v Speaker 3>the future of motion pictures. Jack Black is so fat

0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:47.680
<v Speaker 3>and greasy and doesn't care. That's what's interesting about him.

0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:50.960
<v Speaker 3>He's got to be one of the biggest movie stars

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:54.680
<v Speaker 3>in the world, very very big in terms.

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Of making moneyms to be unbathed. He does not.

0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 3>Care at all. I think he shows up to he

0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 3>doesn't care how he looks at all. Didn't comb his hair,

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 3>he doesn't find a shirt that fits, he doesn't wash

0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:12.199
<v Speaker 3>his face. Yeah, it's weird anyway, more on that Later's

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:24.960
<v Speaker 3>there the Minecraft movie. Over the weekend with my son

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:26.560
<v Speaker 3>Henry and I was about to talk about it, and

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 3>I thought I should look up a little of how

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 3>successful this movie was to back up my premise, and

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.439
<v Speaker 3>I googled it first. Then I remembered what you keep saying, No,

0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.440
<v Speaker 3>you got to use the chat gptwo, I'm trying to

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:38.320
<v Speaker 3>get out of the habit.

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Of googling and go to chat gpt.

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 3>The answer I got on chat GPT about I just

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 3>asked chat gpt, was the Minecraft movie a financial success?

0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 3>It's answer so much better and thorough than googling it,

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean, not even close. So I got to get

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:57.199
<v Speaker 3>out of the habit of googling. Anyway, a Minecraft movie

0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:01.240
<v Speaker 3>has made almost a billion dollars worldwide after a budget

0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.960
<v Speaker 3>to make it of only one hundred and fifty million dollars,

0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:10.960
<v Speaker 3>which I gotta believe all of the filming of the

0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:14.120
<v Speaker 3>acting of that movie could have been done in an

0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 3>afternoon probably. I mean, there wasn't much to it, and

0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:19.959
<v Speaker 3>it was all so much was green screen. It was

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.559
<v Speaker 3>all CGI stuff and everything like that. And like I mentioned,

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.360
<v Speaker 3>Jack Black, what an interesting dude. I don't know, is

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.560
<v Speaker 3>he married or not. I've seen him in various interviews.

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:32.319
<v Speaker 3>He's certainly not trying to impress chicks. He wears ill

0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.679
<v Speaker 3>fitting clothes, he doesn't wash his face or coma's hair.

0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:38.560
<v Speaker 3>He rolls in, does his lines brilliantly because he's really good,

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.680
<v Speaker 3>and then collects his money and goes home. What an

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 3>interesting thing that is? What movie star has never wanted

0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 3>to care how they look? Like Jack Black, he keeps

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:55.040
<v Speaker 3>getting fatter and greasier anyway. I mean, you canna be

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:56.559
<v Speaker 3>fat if you want. Maybe you think that's part of

0:13:56.600 --> 0:14:02.000
<v Speaker 3>your appeal. You can wash your face AnyWho. The Minecraft movie,

0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 3>first of all, way better than I expected it to be.

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:04.719
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was.

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 3>It was only an hour forty five, but I thought, uh,

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.079
<v Speaker 3>I thought this is gonna be kind of tough to

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.520
<v Speaker 3>sit through. And it was quite entertaining, pretty dang funny

0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.320
<v Speaker 3>by the end it had it reminded me of like

0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.679
<v Speaker 3>all your Lord of the Rings movies. Okay, another giant

0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 3>fight sequence. I just I can't do fight sequences like

0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people can, apparently endlessly. I get it.

0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 3>But my main takeaway was, and if I was rich,

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.000
<v Speaker 3>I would start for like really like Elon Rich I

0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:35.560
<v Speaker 3>would come up with this idea today. It was basically

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 3>a series of popular memes that young people get strung

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:46.920
<v Speaker 3>together so that everybody could laugh together about Hey, I

0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:52.240
<v Speaker 3>get this meme and feel part of something. That's what

0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 3>it seemed like to me. And I'll bet you could

0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:59.000
<v Speaker 3>put one of those out once a month of just

0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.920
<v Speaker 3>whatever the most re hot memes were, right, make it

0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.560
<v Speaker 3>like ninety minutes long. It's just a series of meme

0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:09.080
<v Speaker 3>jokes that every teenager gets and things so the hilarious

0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 3>and it would be super popular because that's basically what

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:13.440
<v Speaker 3>the Minecraft movie was.

0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:17.440
<v Speaker 1>So just a recognition slash belonging fest.

0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:22.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because other things aren't really working, but partially because

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 3>this is a reason to be together in the theater.

0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.480
<v Speaker 3>Is fun to recognize the memes together. It was clear

0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:30.360
<v Speaker 3>from my older son when he went and saw it

0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 3>in the theater that that was a lot of the

0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:35.520
<v Speaker 3>appeal was all these inside jokes that they get and

0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.600
<v Speaker 3>laugh at, and it's fun to see him in a group.

0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 3>I think this is a way to rescue movies. It's

0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.840
<v Speaker 3>gonna kill old time movies. But like just I don't know,

0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 3>the most popular memes put together ninety minutes with a

0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:45.640
<v Speaker 3>loose script.

0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that would right. Somebody steal that idea and

0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.840
<v Speaker 1>make it work. Well, it's either like irony or a

0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 1>perpetual motion machine or something that online memes. The enjoyment

0:15:56.400 --> 0:16:01.800
<v Speaker 1>of online memes together Yeah, in a room might convince kids,

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:04.280
<v Speaker 1>hey this is really fun. Wow, good point.

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.000
<v Speaker 3>Hello, But Mike constantly, my son was saying, I know

0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 3>you don't get that, but to various things that were happening,

0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.920
<v Speaker 3>characters and lines and stuff like that, because they're here today.

0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:16.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you could have had a movie where the

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 3>Hawktua girl was, you know, a co star there for

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.640
<v Speaker 3>a couple of coffee. Oh please don't, but you're and

0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.120
<v Speaker 3>people would have go fought with laughter though you know

0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:27.360
<v Speaker 3>they mean them studios.

0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Yes, oh yes, now you gotta start producing these. This

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 1>is your ten million dollar idea. It's fine. I thought,

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll get another co host. I thought of Friday Night.

0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:38.360
<v Speaker 3>I thought, this is actual brilliant idea. It would just

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:39.560
<v Speaker 3>take a lot of money to get a going.

0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, you'd have to pay for rights, but you'd

0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:47.080
<v Speaker 1>have lawyers to do that. That'd be easy. Uh yeah, wow,

0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:51.440
<v Speaker 1>that's a great idea. Just your monthly meme cinema.

0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, and all the teenagers get together and feel

0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 3>cooler and smarter than the rest.

0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Of us because they get all the jokes right. Yeah.

0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 3>We bought it though, cost twenty bucks. So minecraft's available

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:04.560
<v Speaker 3>at home now for streaming, but it was twenty bucks

0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:05.000
<v Speaker 3>to in it.

0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:08.919
<v Speaker 1>I think it's got about a six month run. Your idea,

0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh really, don't like. Don't invest too heavily thinking next

0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:18.160
<v Speaker 1>year will be even bigger. Trust me, Armstrong and getty.

0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:22.760
<v Speaker 3>Person in charge of CBS News just step down. So

0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:25.640
<v Speaker 3>first it was the producer of sixty Minutes a couple

0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:29.119
<v Speaker 3>of weeks ago, and now the leader of CBS News

0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.800
<v Speaker 3>saying it's become clear that the company I do not

0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:33.640
<v Speaker 3>agree on the path forward.

0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:36.479
<v Speaker 1>You know there's some stuff from sixty Minutes we were

0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:37.760
<v Speaker 1>hoping to squeeze in today.

0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.960
<v Speaker 3>We got to talk about tomorrow better now, Yes it is, Yeah,

0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:44.240
<v Speaker 3>let's hold all that stuff over. Sixty Minutes feels exactly

0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:45.679
<v Speaker 3>like it used to feel to me when I used

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 3>to watch it.

0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.560
<v Speaker 1>When I was younger. Now, so the guy who quit

0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.719
<v Speaker 1>in a huff, the head guy, because I'm getting too

0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:59.240
<v Speaker 1>much corporate pressure to twist the show into being watchable again, unbelievable.

0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.320
<v Speaker 1>That story how much which China is spying on us?

0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Last night?

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:04.480
<v Speaker 3>Man, watch it if you haven't seen it, we'll talk

0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:07.719
<v Speaker 3>about it tomorrow with sixty minutes feature. China is spying

0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:09.600
<v Speaker 3>on us in a way that no country has ever

0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:10.760
<v Speaker 3>spied on any country ever.

0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Probably uh yeah, yeah, absolutely true. Boy, I'm amazed. I'm

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:18.440
<v Speaker 1>working with chat GPT to try to create I gotta

0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 1>go to the paid version. I'm trying to create a

0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:27.480
<v Speaker 1>logo for the f Yolikin Party because f y'all, not

0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:32.119
<v Speaker 1>you good people, but just politicians and here's friends. I

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:34.360
<v Speaker 1>know what you're talking about in some of the texts.

0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 1>So I said, design me a logo for the political

0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.720
<v Speaker 1>for a political party called the f Yolikin Party. Our

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:45.919
<v Speaker 1>mascot is a bald eagle. The logo should use red,

0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:49.080
<v Speaker 1>white and blue, and it says I can generate a

0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:51.640
<v Speaker 1>logo for the f Yolikin Party featuring a bald eagle

0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:53.639
<v Speaker 1>in red, white and blue color scheme. Before I do,

0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:56.400
<v Speaker 1>could you clarify the tone you're aiming for, for example,

0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:01.400
<v Speaker 1>serious and patriotic like a traditional political logo, satirical or humorous,

0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.560
<v Speaker 1>leaning into the edgy name bold and rebellious in a

0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:08.640
<v Speaker 1>punk American rebel style, picked up on the edgy name. Yeah,

0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I know, I'm a little troubling. It's been a little

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:14.480
<v Speaker 1>frustrating to get it to do what I want it

0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:16.640
<v Speaker 1>to do. In some ways that are funny. I keep

0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:19.600
<v Speaker 1>telling it to have the effing eagle face to the right,

0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:23.320
<v Speaker 1>and it keeps having it face left. But other than that,

0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:24.640
<v Speaker 1>it's it's amazing.

0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:26.560
<v Speaker 3>How patriotic you I want it to be? Like if

0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:29.600
<v Speaker 3>Lee Greenwood ate a flag, what would come out of him?

0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:35.200
<v Speaker 3>That's what I want, right exactly, So totally different topic.

0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.600
<v Speaker 3>The screams echoed down the narrow street in a trendy

0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.600
<v Speaker 3>neighborhood in early morning Paris.

0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Help Help, Help Help. Three men in black masks had

0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:52.080
<v Speaker 1>jumped on a thirty four year old woman and her

0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:56.320
<v Speaker 1>toddler and tried to throw them into an idling white

0:19:56.440 --> 0:20:00.199
<v Speaker 1>van disguised as a delivery truck. Luckily, her husband threw

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:03.640
<v Speaker 1>himself between the attackers and his family. A neighbor hustled

0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:08.240
<v Speaker 1>the child away, screams yells. The husband was battered with

0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:12.280
<v Speaker 1>a wrench. Bloody blah blah blah. So all because this

0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:17.680
<v Speaker 1>chick's father runs a French cryptocurrency exchange, and she's got

0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:20.679
<v Speaker 1>a hell of a lot of it, apparently li bitcoin

0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:26.000
<v Speaker 1>around the world. This Braisen attack latest in the series

0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.719
<v Speaker 1>of violent abductions, including several in the US, targeting crypto

0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:32.840
<v Speaker 1>executives and their families. Victims have been pistol whipped to

0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:37.879
<v Speaker 1>abduct it and in two cases had fingers severed, actually

0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:41.240
<v Speaker 1>cut off their fingers. Yes, to use their fingerprints to

0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:46.800
<v Speaker 1>open accounts. Wow barbaric, I would agree, fans of Retina Scam.

0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy. The assaults are often called wrench attacks because

0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:53.879
<v Speaker 1>they rely on simple tools for inflicting pain to course

0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:57.440
<v Speaker 1>victims rather than sophisticated tools for hacking them. Can the

0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:01.560
<v Speaker 1>guy hit me with the Wrinch's why I called it that? Yes? Yes, essentially. Yes.

0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Hacking has long been the primary risk for the crypto rich.

0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:09.320
<v Speaker 1>But to thwart hackers, savvy cryptocurrency investors have increasingly taken

0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:13.959
<v Speaker 1>their digital wallets offline in favor of physical devices a

0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:18.400
<v Speaker 1>thumb drive in a safe, making remote theft more difficult.

0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:22.720
<v Speaker 1>But real world bash over the head crypto crime bypasses

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:24.119
<v Speaker 1>those those safeguards.

0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:28.959
<v Speaker 3>Obviously, do I get the option like put your thumb

0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:31.879
<v Speaker 3>on this, or we're gonna cut your thumb off, or

0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:32.960
<v Speaker 3>do they just take my thumb?

0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I think this is probably a period of negotiation, but

0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:40.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. These concerns intensified this week with a

0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:44.639
<v Speaker 1>cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase disclosing that as many as ninety seven

0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:49.920
<v Speaker 1>thousand customers had their personal information stolen, including addresses and

0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:54.960
<v Speaker 1>snapshots of their balance. Oh, Joe Jones of one two

0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:59.119
<v Speaker 1>three Main Street has eleven million dollars in crypto. Why

0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:01.920
<v Speaker 1>that's just on the other side of town. Perhaps we'll

0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:04.000
<v Speaker 1>bash him in the head with a wrench, cut off

0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:12.840
<v Speaker 1>his finger and take his money. Say the scumbags, Wow wow,

0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously, if you're smart and savvy, you keep

0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:20.240
<v Speaker 1>your crazy wealth to yourself. Do you have any crypto?

0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I do not at this point. No, I do not either.

0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I've kicked myself for that a number of times. I

0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:30.199
<v Speaker 1>have a friend who is a savvy financial guy, and

0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:34.080
<v Speaker 1>a guy, for reasons of the way his marriage was

0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:38.800
<v Speaker 1>set up, could do more or less whatever he wanted quickly.

0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:41.720
<v Speaker 1>He didn't have the sort of setup where hey, sweetheart,

0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking of doing this and this for these reasons,

0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Should we free up enough money? No? He would just

0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:49.320
<v Speaker 1>do it, and he literally paid for his kids college

0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:52.880
<v Speaker 1>education with crypto profits. Wow, got in and got out

0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:55.360
<v Speaker 1>at the right time, because it can all of it. Yes,

0:22:56.000 --> 0:22:57.679
<v Speaker 1>you can definitely go the other way. You make too

0:22:57.720 --> 0:23:01.080
<v Speaker 1>much money. You got to four fingers on each hand,

0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:04.720
<v Speaker 1>oh boy. In September of Florida man was sentenced to

0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:06.879
<v Speaker 1>forty seven years in prison for leading a ring that

0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:10.399
<v Speaker 1>carried out a string of home invasions across multiple states

0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:13.160
<v Speaker 1>in search of crypto riches, and one of the attacks,

0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:15.440
<v Speaker 1>the men held a pink revolver I'm not sure why

0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:18.240
<v Speaker 1>the color of the revolver is important to the head

0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:20.960
<v Speaker 1>of a seventy six year old Durham, North Carolina man

0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:26.879
<v Speaker 1>and threatened to cut off his genitals. The victim to

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:33.040
<v Speaker 1>your pink revolver, is yours a revolver, mine's not. The

0:23:33.119 --> 0:23:35.800
<v Speaker 1>victim eventually transferred one hundred and fifty grand worth of

0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:38.120
<v Speaker 1>crypto to the attacker, who was later ordered to pay

0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:40.159
<v Speaker 1>a great deal more than that restitution to his victims

0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:42.280
<v Speaker 1>as part of the sentencing. Blah blah blah, it's happened

0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:46.440
<v Speaker 1>in France a bunch of different places. Just crazy. So anyway,

0:23:47.240 --> 0:23:51.440
<v Speaker 1>guard your crypto your fingers and your genitals. Folks, it's

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:54.760
<v Speaker 1>crazy times. You know, I'm going to skip over. Will

0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:57.760
<v Speaker 1>anyone take the factory jobs Trump wants to bring back

0:23:57.800 --> 0:24:00.639
<v Speaker 1>to America? The answer is no, no, oh they won't.

0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:03.240
<v Speaker 1>But we can talk about that more later. Because I

0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:06.200
<v Speaker 1>wanted to get to this meet the stealthy wealthy who

0:24:06.200 --> 0:24:09.439
<v Speaker 1>make their money the boring way, and I found it

0:24:09.560 --> 0:24:12.680
<v Speaker 1>really interesting and inspiring in an American dream kind of way.

0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:15.440
<v Speaker 1>The Wall Street Journal with an article the subhead is

0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:18.200
<v Speaker 1>the road to Riches is paved with cup holders, burgers

0:24:18.240 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 1>and miles of elementary school carpeting. And these are people

0:24:22.760 --> 0:24:26.960
<v Speaker 1>who discovered a Nietche business like this. One guy who

0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:33.200
<v Speaker 1>points out his name is Derek Derek Olsen. He's made

0:24:33.240 --> 0:24:37.000
<v Speaker 1>a fortune making machines that rip up flooring like carpeting

0:24:37.080 --> 0:24:40.320
<v Speaker 1>in elementary schools. This is how sexy it is, He says.

0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:43.240
<v Speaker 1>The average elementary school in the US has seven miles

0:24:43.240 --> 0:24:47.920
<v Speaker 1>of carpet, and children are disgusting. So elementary schools basically

0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:51.760
<v Speaker 1>need their floors redone almost every summer. It's this Nietzsche

0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:56.399
<v Speaker 1>industry that nobody knows about and everybody needs. So he

0:24:56.480 --> 0:25:00.760
<v Speaker 1>made his fortune on tearing up the floor machines every

0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:02.920
<v Speaker 1>elementary school in America needs every couple of years.

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:04.639
<v Speaker 3>Reminds me of that guy that used to call her

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:07.280
<v Speaker 3>emails all the time, who was a cleaned up crime

0:25:07.400 --> 0:25:11.000
<v Speaker 3>scenes and made lots of money. Yeah, because when there's

0:25:11.040 --> 0:25:13.120
<v Speaker 3>a crime, somebody's got to clean it up.

0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:17.280
<v Speaker 1>He did it. Yeah. So's here's another great example that

0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I really liked. It's uh and this is a business

0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:24.400
<v Speaker 1>that a lot of people are familiar with. MOBA. They

0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:26.680
<v Speaker 1>talk about a guy who has studied this and how

0:25:26.720 --> 0:25:29.000
<v Speaker 1>it's absolutely legit. That's the way to get rich.

0:25:29.200 --> 0:25:29.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh.

0:25:29.440 --> 0:25:32.399
<v Speaker 1>The story of David McNeil, who's the founder of weather Tech,

0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:38.399
<v Speaker 1>the car accessories, the super durable floor mats and everything.

0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:41.840
<v Speaker 1>He was working as a tool and die maker he

0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:44.600
<v Speaker 1>dropped out of college. He sold cars. He rented a

0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:46.960
<v Speaker 1>car on a trip to Scotland in nineteen eighty nine

0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:51.800
<v Speaker 1>and immediately noticed its thick rubber floor mats that had

0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:55.080
<v Speaker 1>a border to prevent water and mud from running off.

0:25:55.960 --> 0:25:58.160
<v Speaker 1>And they're like the best he'd ever seen. So when

0:25:58.160 --> 0:26:00.399
<v Speaker 1>he got back home to Chicago, he called the English

0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:03.159
<v Speaker 1>manufacturer and eventually worked out a deal to buy a

0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:06.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty foot shipping container of the black mats to sell

0:26:06.760 --> 0:26:08.679
<v Speaker 1>in the US. He took out a second mortgage on

0:26:08.720 --> 0:26:11.200
<v Speaker 1>his home to do this. Wow. By the end of

0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:14.239
<v Speaker 1>ninety one, I made forty thousand dollars. By the end

0:26:14.240 --> 0:26:16.679
<v Speaker 1>of ninety two, I made one hundred and sixty thousand.

0:26:16.880 --> 0:26:19.560
<v Speaker 1>By the end of ninety three, I made four hundred thousand.

0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:22.080
<v Speaker 1>While all of this was going on. If you called

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:24.480
<v Speaker 1>my eight hundred number at three o'clock in the morning,

0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:27.960
<v Speaker 1>you know who would answer it. I would Wow. Yeah,

0:26:28.040 --> 0:26:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I love stories like that. Yeah. He now employs eighteen

0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:36.080
<v Speaker 1>hundred people in Bowling Brook, Illinois, makes nearly its entire

0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:38.680
<v Speaker 1>range of car accessories and other products in the US.

0:26:39.440 --> 0:26:43.280
<v Speaker 1>His company expects to bring in eight hundred million dollars

0:26:43.359 --> 0:26:44.359
<v Speaker 1>in revenue this year.

0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:49.280
<v Speaker 3>Wow. Yeah, yeah, Well they're having good ideas. I only

0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:51.800
<v Speaker 3>have dumb ideas. Why all my ideas are stupid?

0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I know, Homer Simpson, you and me both all three.

0:26:57.480 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Larry Fleming eighty years old. He'd bought Wendy's franchise, then

0:27:01.320 --> 0:27:08.320
<v Speaker 1>another one, and then he he had a beer distributorship,

0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:11.200
<v Speaker 1>a small one, but he noticed that it was really

0:27:11.200 --> 0:27:13.320
<v Speaker 1>making more money than the other stuff and was less work.

0:27:13.359 --> 0:27:16.159
<v Speaker 1>So he just started, you know, saving his money, buying

0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:20.680
<v Speaker 1>a little more territory and a little more territory, and

0:27:21.400 --> 0:27:25.040
<v Speaker 1>his blah blah blah bah bah. His beer distributorship, which

0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:31.240
<v Speaker 1>sells to the eastern halves of Oklahoma and Kansas, has

0:27:31.280 --> 0:27:34.159
<v Speaker 1>a sixty four percent market share in Oklahoma is annual

0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:36.720
<v Speaker 1>sales approach two hundred and fifty million dollars. I don't

0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:40.600
<v Speaker 1>know how much he clears on that, but it's just

0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:43.240
<v Speaker 1>that's that's the way you get rich in America because

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the tech guys who have, you know, specialized skills, and

0:27:47.880 --> 0:27:50.320
<v Speaker 1>they get a lot of press these days. And I

0:27:50.359 --> 0:27:52.480
<v Speaker 1>know a handful of guys who've done very well in tech.

0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't have what they have, but the ability to say, hey,

0:27:56.119 --> 0:28:00.399
<v Speaker 1>I really like this product. I'll bet other people will too.

0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:02.639
<v Speaker 1>I think I can borrow enough money to get started

0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:06.080
<v Speaker 1>and then work like a maniac. That's what this country

0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:09.160
<v Speaker 1>is all about. Awesome, Yeah, I thought that was cool.

0:28:09.240 --> 0:28:14.280
<v Speaker 1>The stealthy, wealthy jack and it rhymes. What was the story?

0:28:14.320 --> 0:28:17.480
<v Speaker 1>You skipped out a question about that? Who will take

0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:20.120
<v Speaker 1>the factory jobs that Donald Trump wants to bring back

0:28:20.119 --> 0:28:21.560
<v Speaker 1>to America? Right?

0:28:21.600 --> 0:28:25.240
<v Speaker 3>That's an interesting one illegal immigrants if you can get

0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:31.560
<v Speaker 3>them otherwise nobody, right. I've heard a number of people

0:28:31.720 --> 0:28:34.800
<v Speaker 3>number there's something like that, there's one hundred and forty

0:28:35.000 --> 0:28:39.600
<v Speaker 3>thousand empty manufacturing jobs right now, right before we even

0:28:39.640 --> 0:28:43.080
<v Speaker 3>bring back more manufacturing jobs. But there is I've heard

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:44.880
<v Speaker 3>a couple of people say this. This is an original

0:28:44.920 --> 0:28:46.040
<v Speaker 3>idea on my part.

0:28:46.080 --> 0:28:46.800
<v Speaker 1>There is this.

0:28:49.400 --> 0:28:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Kind of belief out there that it would be really

0:28:53.360 --> 0:28:57.680
<v Speaker 3>great to have more manufacturing jobs for like some imaginary

0:28:57.760 --> 0:29:01.480
<v Speaker 3>person you're kind of picturing that wants it and would

0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 3>take it. But you're not thinking of yourself, right, You're

0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:07.280
<v Speaker 3>not thinking of like you were your kids. Probably you're

0:29:07.320 --> 0:29:08.920
<v Speaker 3>thinking there's some other people.

0:29:08.640 --> 0:29:09.480
<v Speaker 1>That would really like it.

0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:11.560
<v Speaker 3>If there's a big factory at the edge of town,

0:29:11.720 --> 0:29:14.440
<v Speaker 3>they could go. You know, I don't know, put something

0:29:14.440 --> 0:29:17.200
<v Speaker 3>in a box all day long for decent wage. I

0:29:17.200 --> 0:29:18.320
<v Speaker 3>don't want to do it, and I don't want my

0:29:18.360 --> 0:29:19.720
<v Speaker 3>kids to do it. But I'm sure there are plenty

0:29:19.760 --> 0:29:21.680
<v Speaker 3>of people that would like to. And it's just kind

0:29:21.720 --> 0:29:24.840
<v Speaker 3>of not true. Yeah.

0:29:24.880 --> 0:29:28.640
<v Speaker 1>This article actually opens with a description of Quaker City

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:34.160
<v Speaker 1>castings in Salem, Ohio. Six am every weekday, a group

0:29:34.200 --> 0:29:36.720
<v Speaker 1>of sturdy framed men and steel toed boots. Clock into

0:29:36.760 --> 0:29:41.360
<v Speaker 1>the factory to build sand moles molds rather pour molten

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:48.959
<v Speaker 1>metal and grind iron and steel castings. Tiring, hazardous, dirty job.

0:29:49.880 --> 0:29:52.440
<v Speaker 1>This is the work politicians lie in eyes, but Americans

0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:56.880
<v Speaker 1>often don't want. You know though, I do have this story.

0:29:57.040 --> 0:29:59.200
<v Speaker 3>Maybe it's just anecdotal and doesn't mean anything, but I

0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:03.720
<v Speaker 3>had a friend in college married my college roommate, and

0:30:03.760 --> 0:30:06.480
<v Speaker 3>they went off and started their lives. And she got

0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 3>a job working at a factory that put the little

0:30:11.080 --> 0:30:14.800
<v Speaker 3>explosive thing in air bags for cars. That's what she did,

0:30:14.880 --> 0:30:17.440
<v Speaker 3>stood on a conveyor belt that went by. But she

0:30:17.640 --> 0:30:20.200
<v Speaker 3>was a good, hard working person, showed up and did

0:30:20.200 --> 0:30:21.920
<v Speaker 3>what she told her anything like that, and moved up

0:30:22.080 --> 0:30:25.080
<v Speaker 3>very quickly. And before he knew it was like flying

0:30:25.120 --> 0:30:27.720
<v Speaker 3>around on a plane going to the other factories, talking

0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:30.720
<v Speaker 3>to people that did incredibly well for herself.

0:30:31.080 --> 0:30:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Wow. And they retired early and just had a great life.

0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Show up and work hard. Amazing. Yeah. Yeah, now, final

0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:41.960
<v Speaker 1>note on this, then we can move on. But there

0:30:42.000 --> 0:30:45.160
<v Speaker 1>are huge swaths of America where this sort of job

0:30:45.360 --> 0:30:50.440
<v Speaker 1>used to be available. The pay is actually declined, inflation

0:30:50.720 --> 0:30:52.680
<v Speaker 1>justted for a couple of reasons we could talk about

0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:55.200
<v Speaker 1>in manufacturing. But there are a hell of a lot

0:30:55.200 --> 0:30:59.840
<v Speaker 1>of people on fake disability, for instance, on the government.

0:31:00.600 --> 0:31:03.200
<v Speaker 1>But you win votes by keeping them on the dole.

0:31:03.400 --> 0:31:06.680
<v Speaker 1>You win no votes by telling them get to work.

0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:11.320
<v Speaker 1>There's a Quaker City Castings plant opening at the edge

0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:15.080
<v Speaker 1>of town, right, what are you gonna do?

0:31:15.320 --> 0:31:17.880
<v Speaker 3>There's hardly anything more annoying to me than maybe it's

0:31:17.880 --> 0:31:19.920
<v Speaker 3>gonna because I've done a lot of hard physical jobs

0:31:19.960 --> 0:31:23.080
<v Speaker 3>in my life. But the idea of being a physically

0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:27.080
<v Speaker 3>okay dude in his twenties who's living off of my money,

0:31:27.400 --> 0:31:30.960
<v Speaker 3>my taxes because you refuse to work at Quaker City

0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:35.200
<v Speaker 3>Castings or anything else, or yeah, that really really annoys me.

0:31:35.400 --> 0:31:45.720
<v Speaker 3>We will finish strong. Next, this is Crown Prince.

0:31:45.560 --> 0:31:50.000
<v Speaker 4>Mahava ben Selden, and we're together now getting of course,

0:31:50.520 --> 0:31:51.520
<v Speaker 4>but we are vibing.

0:31:52.120 --> 0:31:53.000
<v Speaker 1>You are too kind.

0:31:54.120 --> 0:31:55.920
<v Speaker 4>But We've been having a lot of fun in the

0:31:55.960 --> 0:31:56.480
<v Speaker 4>Middle East.

0:31:56.600 --> 0:31:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I've been having a great time. We've been eating a

0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:00.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of meals.

0:32:00.120 --> 0:32:04.440
<v Speaker 4>Sitting on the floor, dipping our fingers straight into various

0:32:04.440 --> 0:32:08.520
<v Speaker 4>goops and spreads that I politely scrape under the rug

0:32:08.520 --> 0:32:10.800
<v Speaker 4>and go eat it at mobile McDonald's that you've built

0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:11.040
<v Speaker 4>for me?

0:32:11.160 --> 0:32:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that on bab bah bah bah bah? He's loving it.

0:32:16.240 --> 0:32:18.880
<v Speaker 3>That guy who does trump on Satura nib is so funny.

0:32:18.920 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean we had him before he was on SNL,

0:32:22.080 --> 0:32:22.520
<v Speaker 3>Is that right?

0:32:23.280 --> 0:32:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? He did us a video Instagram style in his

0:32:27.240 --> 0:32:30.960
<v Speaker 1>car that had a torn like ceiling liner.

0:32:31.520 --> 0:32:34.240
<v Speaker 3>It looked like he was on foot stamps, like he

0:32:34.320 --> 0:32:35.760
<v Speaker 3>was living in his car, and he may have been.

0:32:36.120 --> 0:32:38.880
<v Speaker 3>And he ad libbed some hilarious stuff. We should do

0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:40.720
<v Speaker 3>that for the podcast because I'm sure Katie has never

0:32:40.720 --> 0:32:42.240
<v Speaker 3>heard of it, and a lot of us our listeners

0:32:42.280 --> 0:32:43.560
<v Speaker 3>have never heard of It's pretty funny.

0:32:43.760 --> 0:32:47.480
<v Speaker 1>But Dulla was I gonna say, Oh.

0:32:47.480 --> 0:32:49.200
<v Speaker 3>I wonder how much of that he had libs, because

0:32:49.240 --> 0:32:51.480
<v Speaker 3>we know because we hired him to do some stuff

0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:54.320
<v Speaker 3>that he had libbed and was freaking hilarious. And when

0:32:54.320 --> 0:32:56.040
<v Speaker 3>I was watching Sarah Olive, I thought, I'll bet he

0:32:56.080 --> 0:32:57.680
<v Speaker 3>had libbed a lot. When he went and sat in

0:32:57.720 --> 0:33:01.480
<v Speaker 3>the audience there right before the uh uh introduced the show,

0:33:01.520 --> 0:33:03.200
<v Speaker 3>I thought that looked all ad lib to me.

0:33:04.360 --> 0:33:07.040
<v Speaker 1>He's a funny guy. Again. My favorite line from that

0:33:07.080 --> 0:33:08.560
<v Speaker 1>whole thing was I said I was.

0:33:08.520 --> 0:33:12.400
<v Speaker 3>In abba dabi abi abba dabi doo a aba dabado

0:33:12.680 --> 0:33:15.160
<v Speaker 3>Like the great, late great Fred Flintstone.

0:33:16.000 --> 0:33:27.080
<v Speaker 1>What final? Here's the thoughts, Final Final. Here's your host

0:33:27.080 --> 0:33:29.959
<v Speaker 1>for final thoughts, Joe Getty. Let's get a finals up

0:33:30.000 --> 0:33:31.800
<v Speaker 1>from everybody on the crew to wrap things up to

0:33:31.800 --> 0:33:33.680
<v Speaker 1>the day. There he is our technical director of Michael

0:33:33.720 --> 0:33:36.239
<v Speaker 1>Angelow pressing the buttons. Michael, what's your final thoughts? I

0:33:36.240 --> 0:33:39.320
<v Speaker 1>love Jack's idea about having a movie based on memes,

0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:41.280
<v Speaker 1>but what you need is something at the beginning of

0:33:41.320 --> 0:33:44.080
<v Speaker 1>each film that explains the memes to older people like

0:33:44.120 --> 0:33:45.320
<v Speaker 1>me because I can't keep up.

0:33:45.440 --> 0:33:48.040
<v Speaker 3>That's the appeal to the teenagers though, That's what I

0:33:48.160 --> 0:33:50.640
<v Speaker 3>noticed both my sons like, it's the fact that we

0:33:50.680 --> 0:33:53.480
<v Speaker 3>don't get it, that it's an inside joke for them.

0:33:53.640 --> 0:33:56.200
<v Speaker 1>That's what they lost. In fact. Michael o'fellow like, you

0:33:56.240 --> 0:34:00.280
<v Speaker 1>would be banned from the theater when our new brainstorm, Jack,

0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:03.160
<v Speaker 1>so I'm gonna rip it off hits the screen. Katie

0:34:03.160 --> 0:34:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Green is an assignment covering the Mexican Navy crashing into bridges. Jack,

0:34:07.680 --> 0:34:09.200
<v Speaker 1>do you have a final thought now?

0:34:09.239 --> 0:34:12.080
<v Speaker 3>Basically going to tease a story for tomorrow that just

0:34:12.160 --> 0:34:16.520
<v Speaker 3>broke from the Washington Post. An exclusive police secretly monitored

0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:22.240
<v Speaker 3>New Orleans with facial recognition cameras after that terrorist attack.

0:34:22.400 --> 0:34:26.120
<v Speaker 3>It's the first known use of this widespread in America,

0:34:26.400 --> 0:34:27.960
<v Speaker 3>and it happened secretly.

0:34:30.120 --> 0:34:35.000
