Speaker 2: the Washington Post?

Speaker 2: do that later. Okay, it's just if you were the
Speaker 2: head coach, what we you do kind of kind of questions. Okay,
Speaker 2: they're they're fun. I mean they're good, and they're they
Speaker 2: were real. The thing is they were actually happened in
Speaker 2: real games, so you may remember how they how they
Speaker 2: went down. What do you mean a Staaten.
Speaker 4: I get off the phone with my doctor this morning.
Speaker 1: I had my my I get my blood work done
Speaker 1: because I have no thyroid glands. So got to make
Speaker 1: sure that's working well, because we know what happens when
Speaker 1: it doesn't.
Speaker 4: Am I right A twenty nineteen anyway, Uh, dark times
Speaker 4: are some dark knights. So he says, today you're cholesterols high.
Speaker 1: I'm going to put you on a Statton, a Stetton
Speaker 1: like my grandfather's on statins and he's been dead for
Speaker 1: twelve years, right, what are we talking about here? And
Speaker 1: I said, isn't there something dietarily I can do, like
Speaker 1: a dietary situation, you know, cut out.
Speaker 4: X, Y or z H. He's like, yeah, that's not
Speaker 4: going to do anything.
Speaker 1: He's like, for me, I was vegetarian and it brought
Speaker 1: it down a little.
Speaker 4: But no, I don't.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't feel like I should be at
Speaker 1: the statin time of my life.
Speaker 2: Should I be there? I don't.
Speaker 4: Why cholesterol? What does that mean?
Speaker 2: A heart attack? Stroke?
Speaker 4: I'm fine.
Speaker 2: I don't believe. I don't believe that you should be.
Speaker 2: I am not a doctor. I do think that there
Speaker 2: are plenty of lifestyle things that could change, right, Like I.
Speaker 1: The bacon every morning. He doesn't know that, right, but
Speaker 1: he didn't ask.
Speaker 2: But also the definition of what what is the bad cholesterol?
Speaker 2: Good cholesterol? What does it do in your body? Why
Speaker 2: do people say that you don't you shouldn't have it?
Speaker 2: What does this hand stand the good and the bad?
Speaker 2: But I was just gonna pull up.
Speaker 1: My my little levels here and then shoot them to
Speaker 1: your wife and see what she has to say. My
Speaker 1: real doctor also not a doctor, right to be clear.
Speaker 1: But that was appreciate my doctors not being doctor.
Speaker 2: That was gonna be a question because I told you
Speaker 2: last week, I think I was doing an arm workout
Speaker 2: and I did something to my shoulder. Right, there's something
Speaker 2: in there that has been bothering me. So for a
Speaker 2: couple of days I was on as much advil as
Speaker 2: I could pour down my gullet, and it felt better.
Speaker 2: And then last night I thought, you know, I need
Speaker 2: to see how this goes without painkillers. So I went
Speaker 2: off the advil and I'm not This is not hydrocodone
Speaker 2: or roxy or anything like that. It's just enough to
Speaker 2: take the pain away. And this morning it hurts again,
Speaker 2: not as bad as it did, but it hurts again,
Speaker 2: and I'm thinking, I'm fifty two two When when when
Speaker 2: is that realization where you're like, I'm not four, I'm
Speaker 2: not third, I'm not twenty five.
Speaker 1: They they happen, These reminders of that happened periodically. One
Speaker 1: of them is you've been prescribed to statin. Another is
Speaker 1: you've got sciatica in your shoulder.
Speaker 2: Well that's thankfully not as high as my ssiatic nerve goes.
Speaker 2: It's way down here, but it is that thing where
Speaker 2: it's like, all I did was I did one thing
Speaker 2: and now I have to suffer for a week.
Speaker 4: Well, and it's the whole you know.
Speaker 2: He's like, oh, your.
Speaker 4: Your liver numbers.
Speaker 2: Look.
Speaker 1: Well what I'm like, Well, I gave up drinking, you know.
Speaker 1: And he's like, oh, I'm like, so now I get
Speaker 1: I have to quit smoking cigarettes, which I did, quit drinking,
Speaker 1: quit bacon, quit meat. For this whole cholesterol thing, a
Speaker 1: lot of Wow, what am I supposed to do with
Speaker 1: my life? To sit here and drink water and wheat bread?
Speaker 1: Like what what is that?
Speaker 2: What is that?
Speaker 4: Is that? Is that our new life moving forward?
Speaker 2: That maybe our new life? But you didn't cry today,
Speaker 2: and I want to credit you for not crying.
Speaker 4: What would I be crying?
Speaker 2: Oh, it's a realization that you're not twenty five anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's a I mean, that's a that's a that's a lot,
Speaker 2: that could be a lot. Yeah. For a lot of people,
Speaker 2: that's a big, big deal. And they're you start going
Speaker 2: into this hole like, well, I'm not quite what I
Speaker 2: was and I don't know what I'm going to be next,
Speaker 2: and I'm in the middle zone of who am I?
Speaker 1: I do not want to be twenty five. Again, Let's
Speaker 1: be clear about that. Twenties were awful. I'm happy where
Speaker 1: I'm at in life. I really am, except for the
Speaker 1: stat thing, except for the body breaking down and I
Speaker 1: can't do anything fun anymore.
Speaker 2: Thing.
Speaker 1: But aside from that, I mean, twenty five is rough.
Speaker 1: Twenty five is a rough road to hoe.
Speaker 2: I loved it, you did, I loved it.
Speaker 4: I did not.
Speaker 1: Everything was up in the air. What am I gonna do?
Speaker 1: Where all the things? It was too many unknowns.
Speaker 2: I'm newly married. My wife was making three times as
Speaker 2: much money as I was. I was a kept man,
Speaker 2: That's what I was. We could move anywhere we wanted
Speaker 2: to for any reason.
Speaker 4: How come you decided to work for so much less.
Speaker 2: Because I worked in radio? What do you mean? How come?
Speaker 4: I I know?
Speaker 1: But why don't you just be the stay at home
Speaker 1: dad and have her bring home the bacon. I had
Speaker 1: to have a hobby until it was until it was
Speaker 1: too dangerous for you.
Speaker 2: Right until the doctor prescribed as staten. Well, there's a
Speaker 2: couple of things we're gonna do today. We'll do what
Speaker 2: you watch on Wednesday late in the show. So if
Speaker 2: you are watching the show or you want to convince
Speaker 2: us to watch your favorite show. You can leave us
Speaker 2: a talkback message on the iHeart app. Just hit that
Speaker 2: microphone and leave us a message. The other thing is,
Speaker 2: what was the one thing that happened when you realized
Speaker 2: you were getting old?
Speaker 4: Is that really what we're doing now? Was that plan?
Speaker 2: Was that a statin description? So what do you call it? Prescriptions? Subscription?
Speaker 2: Was it when you twisted your ankle getting out of bed?
Speaker 2: Was it your.
Speaker 1: Sciatic in my shoulder? Whatever it was, that's good, that's
Speaker 1: fun we're doing and getting old. We just did a
Speaker 1: segment on ailments, and now we're going to take it
Speaker 1: through the entire show.
Speaker 2: Sure, I love that for us.
Speaker 5: I can't wait to hear what my wife says to you.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, what time is plot? He's over nine thirty
Speaker 5: something like that should be out in a few minutes.
Speaker 5: Did you send her a text? No, I'm not going
Speaker 5: to bother her while she's on the reformer. I'm not
Speaker 5: going to get it until she's done. I can go
Speaker 5: and send her a text in the break, so she'll
Speaker 5: get to you right away, so we be.
Speaker 4: First in the queue.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's a lot of questions. The president once again
Speaker 2: says something that everybody thinks is a giant plan. It's
Speaker 2: not a plan, it's a negotiating tactic. We'll talk about
Speaker 2: his Gaza takeover. We'll talk more about that Hollywood producer
Speaker 2: found guilty in the drug overdose deaths of those couple
Speaker 2: of women, that egg price of eggs, and why waste
Speaker 2: time say a lot words when few words do trick?
Speaker 2: I wrote here thank you his ideas from the office.
Speaker 1: But that's very Mervyn block of you. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: we shorter, sharper, harder. What is it shorter?
Speaker 2: Dummy? I think is one of them. We have stopped
Speaker 2: using as many words as we used to over the
Speaker 2: course of the.
Speaker 1: Last we have well, like I said, we text in hieroglyphic.
Speaker 1: We're back to the caveman. We text in pictures instead
Speaker 1: of using our words.
Speaker 2: Full circle.
Speaker 1: I love words, like I said, I love the flowery language.
Speaker 1: I love the idea of writing notes or letters to people.
Speaker 1: I love that a.
Speaker 2: Friend of mine started a calling on substack and it's
Speaker 2: it's incredible to see that someone loves the loves writing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I enjoy that. I like reading what he writes because
Speaker 2: he just enjoys what he does, right.
Speaker 1: I used to love writing just for the writing's sake,
Speaker 1: and now I miss it.
Speaker 4: It's like, well, what's stopping you?
Speaker 1: I wrote to your wife, I texted her I need
Speaker 1: medical advice, stat and then I wrote, I mean it's
Speaker 1: about a statin little fewer words use now makes sense.
Speaker 6: The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we
Speaker 6: will do a job with it too. We'll own it
Speaker 6: and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded
Speaker 6: bombs and other weapons on the site. Level the site
Speaker 6: and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out,
Speaker 6: create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of
Speaker 6: jobs and housing for the people of the area.
Speaker 1: He said, Palestinians have no alternative but to leave Gaza
Speaker 1: and find somewhere else to live. He met with Netanyahu
Speaker 1: in the Oval Office yesterday, saying the US is prepared
Speaker 1: to take over this territory, did not rule out the
Speaker 1: possibility of sending in troops to accomplish this vision.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because some of these people don't want to leave
Speaker 2: at all. Benjamin at Yah, who gave him credit for
Speaker 2: thinking outside the box.
Speaker 7: You see things others refuse to see. You say things
Speaker 7: others refuse to say. And on after the jaws drop,
Speaker 7: people scratch their heads and they say, you know he's right.
Speaker 1: Hamas called the remarks ridiculous, says that they run the
Speaker 1: risk of igniting the area. Negotiations are set to resume
Speaker 1: between Israel and Hamas to extend a ceasefire.
Speaker 2: We'll see what this does to that. I don't even
Speaker 2: understand how he thinks the United States somehow just takes
Speaker 2: control of an area like that.
Speaker 4: No, and I think Netanyahu is being cheeky.
Speaker 7: Oh.
Speaker 1: I love that he's thinking outside the box. Is a
Speaker 1: crazy ass guy. Well thinks he's going to have a
Speaker 1: say on what goes on in the Middle East.
Speaker 2: To give an idea perhaps of what it seems he's
Speaker 2: thinking about. He's discussing this as. This is the Mediterranean,
Speaker 2: This has the potential to be a beautiful vacation spot.
Speaker 6: We have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal.
Speaker 6: And I don't want to be cute, I don't want
Speaker 6: to be a wise guy. But the riviera of the
Speaker 6: Middle East, this could be something that could be so bad.
Speaker 6: This could be so magnificent.
Speaker 4: Bring on the operol sprits in the yachts.
Speaker 2: Let's go with this. The AP writes it up and
Speaker 2: says it was not immediately clear whether the idea of
Speaker 2: taking over the Gaza Strip was a well thought out
Speaker 2: plan or an opening gambit in negotiations. Well, let me see,
Speaker 2: how does he work, what is his past, what kind
Speaker 2: of track record does he have. Of course, this isn't
Speaker 2: a well thought out plan. He says things like this,
Speaker 2: to move the needle and to put the onus on
Speaker 2: whoever the other party happens to be in this case.
Speaker 2: He's talking about these other Arab states in the region
Speaker 2: who would be asked to take in two million displaced
Speaker 2: Palestinians members of the Gaza Strip. Now a bunch of
Speaker 2: them have already said that they are not interested in
Speaker 2: doing that. Saudi Arabia, obviously, the Kingdom of has said
Speaker 2: we won't recognize Israel unless there is a two state
Speaker 2: solution to the conflict, which would mean they have to
Speaker 2: rebuild Gaza, and Gaza has to be a place for
Speaker 2: Palestinians as opposed to a place owned by the United
Speaker 2: States and controlled by the United States.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm ready to read all the Elon Musk books
Speaker 1: of him running a shadow government the richest man in
Speaker 1: the world, slowly taking over the country behind the scenes,
Speaker 1: behind the curtain.
Speaker 4: This is going to be some good reading eventually, isn't it.
Speaker 2: That's the whole Doge issue in Washington, d C. Is
Speaker 2: pretty is pretty hot right.
Speaker 3: Now, Hey, Shannon. I reduce my cholesterol by twenty five
Speaker 3: percent from over to fifty two below two hundred by
Speaker 3: aggressively cutting out saturated fats.
Speaker 2: Is that bacon?
Speaker 3: That means no dairy, no, no cheese, oils and oil,
Speaker 3: staying away from those fatty products period.
Speaker 2: I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to stay away from meat and cheese.
Speaker 4: Are you serious?
Speaker 6: Hey? Gay?
Speaker 8: I'm also fifty two, and I've found that once I
Speaker 8: turned fifty the warranty expired, everything takes longer to feel
Speaker 8: better or to get well, the little aches and pains
Speaker 8: having tonsified, and I can't see, I can't hear, I
Speaker 8: lose my balance, let's see.
Speaker 2: So it's coming, man, it's coming. It's just being fifty. Yeah, welcome,
Speaker 2: I do. I do say this. So after I went
Speaker 2: to baseball camp for a week, I was I was
Speaker 2: pretty sore, I was pretty slow, and I felt great
Speaker 2: because I took everything very careful. The days after that,
Speaker 2: any exercise I did was pretty low intensity, just to
Speaker 2: get back and onto the horse. I realized that if
Speaker 2: I sit around and don't do anything and I don't
Speaker 2: I don't strain the muscles or whatever, I don't run
Speaker 2: and I feel okay, that's almost the that's the bad part.
Speaker 2: If I feel like, gosh, there's nothing that hurts on
Speaker 2: me right now because you're not using it right, that's
Speaker 2: the thing. Now, I know, if I feel sore or something,
Speaker 2: at least I did something right. Anyway.
Speaker 1: Elon, are we done with our ailments? Mary and Joseph?
Speaker 1: Where's the Bengo? Where's the bingo today? Is it in
Speaker 1: the memory care wing?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe we'll have to get wheeled in there, see
Speaker 2: how it goes.
Speaker 1: Oh, Jacob, could you hey, you need to transport bedsword
Speaker 1: treatment in one hour.
Speaker 2: Don't forget wound care comes this afternoon. This is not funny,
Speaker 2: I know. Anti immigration policy protests over the last few
Speaker 2: days here in LA and now a movement to oppose
Speaker 2: some of the early action is of the Trump administration
Speaker 2: are planned for around the country. Fifty protests fifty states.
Speaker 2: The movement was organized under the hashtags. Are we still
Speaker 2: doing hashtags? I thought we didn't need to use hashtags.
Speaker 4: I thought that that was kind of pass.
Speaker 2: Hashtag build the Resistance and hashtag fifty fifty one five
Speaker 2: OHO five oh one, which stands for the fifty protests
Speaker 2: fifty states when many of them are planned at state capitals.
Speaker 2: The flyers that have been circulating online say they're targeting
Speaker 2: Project twenty twenty five, which again I also thought that anyway.
Speaker 2: California US Attorney Rob BoNT Attorney General Rob Bonta says
Speaker 2: he's not going to run for governor. He said if
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris runs, he would support former Vice president. She
Speaker 2: has not said she wants to get into this, but
Speaker 2: you have a bunch of other people who have already said.
Speaker 2: Antonio Viragosa is one of them. The current the current
Speaker 2: not vice governor, lieutenant governor. Why I think vice governor
Speaker 2: Lieutenant governor Landy Kunalakas has said that she would be running.
Speaker 2: Tony Thurman a couple other people as well so well.
Speaker 1: In a little more than two weeks since Trump took office,
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, the world's richest man, has created an alternative
Speaker 1: power structure inside the federal government. His purpose is to
Speaker 1: cut spending and push out employees. None of this is
Speaker 1: happening with congressional approval, which invites a constitutional question over
Speaker 1: limits of presidential authority. It seems like Musk is doing
Speaker 1: Trump's bidding. Been named as a special government employee, which
Speaker 1: means less stringent rules when it comes to ethics financial
Speaker 1: disclosures than other workers. Trump has given Musk office space
Speaker 1: in the White House. He oversees the team of people
Speaker 1: at the DOZE the government, Department of Government Government, the
Speaker 1: Department of Government Efficiency. This team has been dispersed throughout
Speaker 1: federal agencies to gather information, deliver edicts. This whole what
Speaker 1: is it USAID situation that's going to look like a
Speaker 1: tea party compared to the uprising that happens when they
Speaker 1: start digging in their teeth into other departments.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And one of the issues that has come up
Speaker 2: that I've heard the question asked, why are these agencies
Speaker 2: so up in arms about somebody coming in and checking
Speaker 2: out what's going on with the books. Why are they
Speaker 2: so afraid of publication of where the money is going.
Speaker 2: It's the government, It should be available to us on
Speaker 2: a regular basis.
Speaker 4: I understand.
Speaker 1: I don't understand because I'm not in your shoes, but
Speaker 1: I can begin to understand. I think the hell that
Speaker 1: this is causing federal employees who don't know the fate
Speaker 1: of their job status. Sure that have no role in
Speaker 1: creating the bloated government that has been created throughout the decades,
Speaker 1: that have no role in saying that they're charging too
Speaker 1: much for every pencil and every chair.
Speaker 2: There are the job who just actually work for the.
Speaker 1: Federal government, whether it be remotely or in DC or
Speaker 1: locally or whatever, who do their jobs every day, and
Speaker 1: now we're on the chopping block because of how badly
Speaker 1: managed it is at the top. And I feel for
Speaker 1: people like that sucks. That would suck if I came
Speaker 1: in every day and if I just did a really
Speaker 1: good job at my job, but the people above me
Speaker 1: had just been fat cows and just been completely screwing
Speaker 1: it all up and mucking it up and having these
Speaker 1: inflated unnecessarily so budgets. I get it, but be frustrated
Speaker 1: at the system at all of it, you know. But
Speaker 1: I guess it's an easy thing for me to say
Speaker 1: when my job that I know of is not on
Speaker 1: the chopping block right now.
Speaker 4: But that I.
Speaker 1: Mean, I understand it really sucks for hundreds of thousands
Speaker 1: of people who don't know if they're just going to
Speaker 1: be slashed because of how mismanaged it is at the top.
Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't make sense to me to demonize Elon
Speaker 2: Musk because he's the rich guy. Like that's the one
Speaker 2: thing that keeps being said. When everybody talks about Elon Musk,
Speaker 2: they say, well, he's the richest guy in the world.
Speaker 2: There's a reason why he's a rich man. There's a
Speaker 2: real there's there's got to be something about the fact
Speaker 2: that he's able to make billions of dollars with the
Speaker 2: ideas that he has.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if people who are worried about
Speaker 1: their jobs give a crap about Elon Musk at this point,
Speaker 1: because that is so far from being able to provide
Speaker 1: for your family.
Speaker 2: Democrats took to the steps of the Capitol yesterday to
Speaker 2: yell into an overmodulate microphone, we're.
Speaker 6: Here today because an unelected billionaire and his team had
Speaker 6: been given full and unfettered access to our taxpayer money
Speaker 6: and our government.
Speaker 2: We know that we work for the American people, and
Speaker 2: what we not don't do is stand around when I
Speaker 2: pulled this book, we.
Speaker 6: Have got to tell Elon must nobody elected your Uh here's.
Speaker 2: The fun I maxing waters for that last one.
Speaker 1: Here's an idea that maybe something Elon Musk could take
Speaker 1: into consideration. Why not deputize the very people that work
Speaker 1: in these agencies to cut.
Speaker 4: Out the fat instead of your job being on the
Speaker 4: chopping from the outside.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why not have like a listening tour where you
Speaker 1: go in and people that are the line workers can say, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're doing our jobs. We are essential because of X,
Speaker 1: Y and z. It's like when the bobs come in
Speaker 1: an office space, what is.
Speaker 2: It you do here?
Speaker 1: You explain what you do here, and then it's it's
Speaker 1: the people inside that can tell you what fat needs
Speaker 1: to be cut.
Speaker 4: You know, I can.
Speaker 1: Understand the frustration of whoever it is, a pauper, homeless
Speaker 1: or the billionaire Elon Musk coming in and trying to
Speaker 1: tell you how your operation is run and what should
Speaker 1: be cut and not or not. It's frustrated no matter
Speaker 1: who it is. But it's the people inside that really
Speaker 1: should be asked, where can we cut?
Speaker 2: Because that's who those are, the people who know Apparently
Speaker 2: this morning, Democrats put forward on the Oversight Committee in
Speaker 2: the House a plan to call Elon Musk before the
Speaker 2: committee to help answer some of the questions that we've
Speaker 2: been asking. James Comer is the Republican chair of the
Speaker 2: Oversight Committee.
Speaker 9: Democrats are hyperventilating and sensationalizing it. Over the past few days,
Speaker 9: we've heard wild claims from Democrats that we are quote
Speaker 9: at the beginning of a dictatorship end quote, and we
Speaker 9: are in a constitutional crisis. This kind of theatrical rhetoric
Speaker 9: is exactly what the American people rejected in November. Americans
Speaker 9: know that Washington needs reform, and Doe just taking invotory
Speaker 9: you bring about change in Stewart taxpayer dollars and trusted
Speaker 9: to the federal government.
Speaker 2: Wired magazine has come out and identified six young men
Speaker 2: who have little to no government experience that are now
Speaker 2: playing a pretty important role in the DOGE project. They
Speaker 2: have been tasked by Executive order with modernizing federal technology
Speaker 2: and software to maximize government efficiency and productivity. There's questions
Speaker 2: about do they have access to do they have read
Speaker 2: only access to these highly sensitive programs, whether it's the
Speaker 2: Treasury departments pay out a program, if it's issues about
Speaker 2: personal tax information about all of the America, everybody who
Speaker 2: pays taxes in the United States. There's questions about whether
Speaker 2: or not they have actual access to that kind of
Speaker 2: information or if they're just looking at the system. These
Speaker 2: young men, all between the ages of nineteen and twenty four,
Speaker 2: are arguably six of the smartest young men that we
Speaker 2: have programming computers in this country, maybe the world. Now,
Speaker 2: those are exactly the kind of people that I would
Speaker 2: love to be able to go through and fix some
Speaker 2: of the basic problems that exist in government computer systems,
Speaker 2: which we know all of them, all of them are outdated.
Speaker 2: Just to use last weekend, sorry last week as an example,
Speaker 2: the air traffic control system in this country is probably
Speaker 2: forty years old at best. I mean, you've seen some
Speaker 2: of the graphics that are used to determine flight radar
Speaker 2: positioning on some of the they all look like they're
Speaker 2: an old Atari twenty six hundred game, if even that. So,
Speaker 2: if that exists in one of the world's most important
Speaker 2: industries in air travel, you know it exists in all
Speaker 2: of these other government agencies. So these guys getting their
Speaker 2: fingers in there, as long as they're not tampering with
Speaker 2: private information or programs that could potentially hamstring the way
Speaker 2: we spend money.
Speaker 1: I'm okay with I'm just gonna throw this out there too.
Speaker 1: Maybe they should be making some babies. Let's get these
Speaker 1: people to donate their sperm.
Speaker 4: Am I right?
Speaker 2: You're going to harvest the sperm of smart computer programmers. Yeah, okay, I'm.
Speaker 1: Going to act like China. That's how you get ahead. Okay,
Speaker 1: beat them at their own.
Speaker 2: Game by collecting smart people, smart smart people.
Speaker 1: Would you rather have them donate their sperm or would
Speaker 1: you rather have right? Okay, don't make me play the
Speaker 1: choose your sperm game, because I'll do it.
Speaker 2: Guys. The thing that made me think about becoming old
Speaker 2: was when my doctor ride Yah Meta musical, Oh thanks.
Speaker 1: My parents took meta musal in their like thirties. I
Speaker 1: want to say, like it was a very big thing
Speaker 1: in the eighties, wasn't it Meta musals it? I don't
Speaker 1: want to go. I'd like to pull the plug on
Speaker 1: this idea you had about it. When did you know
Speaker 1: you were old? That's going to be depressing all day,
Speaker 1: and I don't want it on.
Speaker 7: Gary Shannon's the Course, like King Curly.
Speaker 4: He sounds sad.
Speaker 6: Two examples of the whole.
Speaker 2: Thing, but he's usually full of joy. One.
Speaker 7: I threw my back at once when I cut the cheese.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that really get I'll get you, and too.
Speaker 7: I fell asleep in the middle of the sexy time
Speaker 7: with the old lady when I was married once.
Speaker 2: That's bad.
Speaker 4: That's bad.
Speaker 9: I'm old.
Speaker 7: Who cares?
Speaker 1: That's really bad. That happened to one of my friends
Speaker 1: in college. That happened with my girlfriends in college. The
Speaker 1: dude fell.
Speaker 2: Asleep cause issues.
Speaker 1: Now I remember because I had so many follow up
Speaker 1: questions about that.
Speaker 4: But we don't need to get into it. Obviously, that's weird.
Speaker 4: But uh is going to be no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: But I really don't want to hear anymore about that's
Speaker 1: freaking depressed.
Speaker 4: I don't want to hear cors like king send that
Speaker 4: down ever again.
Speaker 1: Ever, he threw out his back, that must have been
Speaker 1: one hell of a fart. Like, I need to know
Speaker 1: what went into his stomach before that? What does it
Speaker 1: That's more of a fun question for the day.
Speaker 4: What kind of food.
Speaker 1: Would make you throw out your back if you expelled
Speaker 1: it in a gaseous form.
Speaker 2: Cracking ass in front of people, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: you're own.
Speaker 4: I've seen you put down some meals that I think
Speaker 4: could do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't stick around for you to find
Speaker 2: the act don't. And I appreciate that. President Trump has
Speaker 2: proposed the United States take a long term ownership position
Speaker 2: over the Gaza Strip, moving its residence to a good, fresh,
Speaker 2: beautiful piece of land in some other country, and then
Speaker 2: developing Gaza into under US control. Gazen residents generally have
Speaker 2: said they want to stay on their land. Trump didn't
Speaker 2: specify where the new land for the Gosins might be found,
Speaker 2: although he made his comments after he repeated it to
Speaker 2: his desire for Egypt and Jordan, among others, to take
Speaker 2: in some of Gaza's residence. The CIA has offered buyouts
Speaker 2: its entire workforce, WHO officials have said this is a
Speaker 2: bid to bring the agency in line with Trump's priorities,
Speaker 2: which include targeting drug cartels. The CIA appeared to be
Speaker 2: the first intelligence agency to tell its employees they could
Speaker 2: quit their jobs and get about eight months of pay
Speaker 2: and benefits as part of the president's push to downsize
Speaker 2: the government. And mornings are the happiest time of day,
Speaker 2: I agree, scientists have found that people are more happy,
Speaker 2: more satisfied, and less downbeat in the very first few
Speaker 2: minutes of their day compared to the rest of it.
Speaker 1: I agree, but I think part of that is like
Speaker 1: the blood sugar dropage in the afternoon.
Speaker 2: I think it's just that you have to deal with
Speaker 2: other people for a while.
Speaker 1: There's that, and also coffee in the morning, little shot
Speaker 1: of meth there get you going.
Speaker 2: The findings showed that irrespective of the day, like the
Speaker 2: day of the week, a person wakes up in a
Speaker 2: good mood that can fluctuate throughout the day before it
Speaker 2: reaches its lowest levels at about midnight. If you stay
Speaker 2: out that late, oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, then you start worrying that you're not sleep
Speaker 1: and then you worry about what the next day is
Speaker 1: going to be like because you don't have enough sleep.
Speaker 2: They did say that people are happier on weekend mornings
Speaker 2: than when they get up in the weekdays.
Speaker 1: Got nothing to do, you can just sit there and
Speaker 1: waste away the day.
Speaker 2: But here's the deal. They say, the highs are higher,
Speaker 2: the lows are also lower on the weekends because you
Speaker 2: tend to feel worse on a weekend night than you
Speaker 2: do on a weekday night. This is kind of strange.
Speaker 1: You're just an angel of death today here. What makes
Speaker 1: you feel old? You get lower on the weekends. Put
Speaker 1: a little joy into this day.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's about the statins. I think there's
Speaker 2: something else going on.
Speaker 1: Well, it also is seasonal defective, defective disorder.
Speaker 2: He's a little effective story.
Speaker 4: It's been cloudy for an hour and a half. What
Speaker 4: am I supposed to do?
Speaker 2: A quick good story born out of tragedy? Okay, I know,
Speaker 2: of course the plane crash in Washington, d C. There
Speaker 2: was also a plane crash on Friday in Philly, that
Speaker 2: medical transport jet that went down into a neighborhood and
Speaker 2: injured so many people. A ten year old boy was injured.
Speaker 2: He was with his dad and two siblings in the
Speaker 2: car when the plane crashed in front of them. Dad
Speaker 2: described what looked like bullets and sounded like gunfire as
Speaker 2: the shrapnel from the jet came into their car.
Speaker 7: It sounded like a missile, was fire and bullets medal
Speaker 7: at my car, everyone else's car.
Speaker 2: Andre immediately backed up his car while his son Trey,
Speaker 2: covered his little sister, protecting her. I turned around. He
Speaker 2: has metal outside of his ear. A police officer rushed
Speaker 2: them to the hospital where he had emergency brain surgery.
Speaker 2: There was a point where they were telling Trey's parents
Speaker 2: he might not survive. Not only has he survived, he's
Speaker 2: awake and he's talking.
Speaker 1: And he wanted to make sure. He said, Daddy, did
Speaker 1: I save my sister? His first real words, Trey's first
Speaker 1: reil words, were about the Super Bowl. He said, Daddy,
Speaker 1: what's today? I was like Monday? Okay, we didn't play yesterday,
Speaker 1: did we? Meaning the Eagles get this kid, Saquon Barkley
Speaker 1: and get him Saquon Now.
Speaker 2: Good for them. That's a good strength, That's a sweet
Speaker 2: good for that kid. All Right, we'll talk about what's
Speaker 2: going on with our rain. Also a little arsonist caught
Speaker 2: in the act. What's going on with people these days? Wow?
Speaker 1: First hours already gone. Dementia is great, man, that's how
Speaker 1: you remember the whole thing.
