Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the press show.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Dame is taking over Las Vegas this January for his
seven night Residents Adobe Live at Park MGM, and we've
got a trip for two to the January twenty fifth
show to night Hotel State at Park MGM January twenty
fourth through the twenty six and round trip airfare. Text

(00:22):
message of data rates may apply all thanks to Live Nation.
So they asked a whole bunch of people and by
a hope and instead of a lot of these surveys
with it, we asked five people and we decided this right.
But they asked forty thousand people who are fans of
music across fifteen countries. So this is I would say,
this is a good like cross section fifteen countries, forty
thousand people Live Nation. They asked would you rather? And

(00:45):
of course, by the way, this is the result that
Live Nation gout, which is not surprising. But would you
rather go to a concert or have sexual relations?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Oh? Easy? Easy is it? Though?

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (00:59):
What would you pay a concert? Yeah? See all of you,
I love everybody, every single one of us. Me really
depends on the concert.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Well, depends on the concert. Where my seat's How close
am I to people? What's the bathroom situation? Like?

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Are you using porta potties? Mmmm?

Speaker 2 (01:16):
You No? I mean like do I have a good view?
Is a good audio? Can I stand without blocking someone?
I mean, I got a lot of questions about this concert?
How far I have to walk to get there? Were
you able to drop me off at the door? CANUBER
come and get me? Because like I would go, I
will go to most concerts, but I'm only going to
really like make the track, like make the effort for
a very few. But like if you were like, hey, look,

(01:38):
I can drop you off right in front. You walk
in and you know, the food's good and the drink's good,
and you get a good view and it sounds good
and people aren't going to be like touching you and stuff.
I'd go to a lot of different kinds of concerts
for that. But if you're telling me that I got
to do all that for just any old concert, No,
for me, it's for me, it's all about the experience.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Do you think it's because you said it's been a
minute since you've done that.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
We don't have to bring that you don't have to
like taunt me in that way.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
That wasn't even coming from a shady place.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
I'm saying because I wonder.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
If, hey, when I've had an awful lot in my life,
I've had enough for several people, and it would be
okay if it's stopped today. Actually maybe that Yeah, I've
taken a permanent, not a permanent. I've taken a semi
permanent respite, and believe it or not, it's on purpose,
believe it, believe it or not. There are suitors where
you're not at the tangent live. I could have gotten
some right in that corner.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
But I'm saying, maybe it's been a minute, so it
influences your decision.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
No, I like concerts, but I don't know that I
would pound for pound pick a concert every single time
over getting it on with someone. Now I don't necessarily
need someone else to be there. So is it is
it the concert versus like you know, just that of activity,
the joy of experiencing it for yourself.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
You choose that over a concert, but not any concert,
So any concert, any I can be with myself any time.
But I'm you would take any concert over sex, any content.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Any concert of someone that I would be interested in seeing,
of course.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
So that's not any concert. That's any concert that's of
interest to you. This is concert or sex. I don't
know that it has to necessarily be concert with your
favorite artist or sex. It was would you rather see
live music or have sex? That was the question. It
wasn't necessarily specific. So any live music over sex. No,
I needn't like the live music, okay, So I need
to like the concert.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Why would the study be any live music.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Why wouldn't it be a concert that you enjoy, Because
if you enjoy sex, why wouldn't that be can.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
I didn't do that. I didn't There's nothing argue about
it there. I didn't do it.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Forty thousand people were asked by Live Nation, seventy percent
so they would rather attend a live concert than have sex.
So I don't know. I mean, the question I was
asking was live music or sex. That was the question
I was asking, Like a pound for pound, you get
to choose one or the other. Okay, And you're still
saying music.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
I just like love live music. But I don't understand
how they're comparable. I guess if I don't know if
this is real, I don't think. I don't think you
actually they have to choose one. I think it's just
a hypothetical with anyone you want or any kind.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Okay, what I mean if you could make up we'll
make up a survey then and go and ask forty
thousand people in fifteen countries.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
And I'm choosing Drake for both scenarios. That's okay.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
But see that there you have it, like any live
music or sex? Or would you pick your favorite artist
or sex? Or would you pick you know what I mean?
Like this is this is the question that we're asking.
This is a debate that we're having. There's yeah, yeah,
So my question is like, oh, look, we're walking into
a hotel lobby and there's some guy, but you know,
there's Diamond Dave playing a cover of Floor Rider. Would

(04:38):
I rather watch that or go upstairs and get it
on some people? So maybe you'd rather the live music.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
In that scenario, I would pick sex. If it was
Taylor Swift, I would pick Taylor Swift over sex. If
it was like having to go with my mom to
see Barry Manilow, I would pick Secks And we're going
to see Barry Manilow.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
That's right, this survey is kind of whack because because
like because okay, I mean I would rather watch like
me to even get a root canal, you know what
I mean. I guess I guess you know what I'm saying,
Like that's what I'm saying, Like this is kind of
like you could like I would rather watch Diamond Dave
do a flow Rider cover than than than then get

(05:18):
an anima?

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Right? That my issue? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Right, but but but that's the survey though, like you know,
so so I'm you know, I'm just telling you what
I what I got.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
I'm working with what I got. Yeah, they got to
redo the survey.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
I like any of this, Okay, So then it would
be you would take your favorite artist every single time
over sex, absolutely every single time we see that, I
could then I could jump to the conclusion that you're
not having very good sex.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Then you could jump wherever you want.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
You were like, well, you're only saying that because you
haven't gotten later a minute, and I'm like, no, I
don't know that that's true.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
What that is? Is that that what you said?

Speaker 3 (05:55):
I asked you a question, I said, do you think
that influence is it? It's something you've been very open
about But.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
It doesn't mean I've never experienced it, and it doesn't
mean that I can't make an educated choice about what
I would rather do, just because in the last few
months I've decided to abstain for the Lord. That's funny.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
It's as important to you now as it might have
been ten years.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Half holy half hood.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
So like you're di, you guys are adding all kinds
of nuances to this thing. It was a very simple
question that's now become extremely complicated. I don't think it
has anything to do with exposure or anything to do
cut my hands off? Would I rather have sex? For
It's just getting more and more complicated, and I can't
answer them because this whole thing is not constructed by

(06:41):
me

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
