Like we never left! Back at it again... if for no other reason than to make sure it is FULLY KNOWN, that the Springfield discussed in last night's debate is NOT this Springfield. Also, we talk emergency preparedness, this year's popular Halloween costumes AND your most radical position that isn't political. Good stuff. Glad to be back.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Oh not this Springfield. Just want to make that perfectly clear.
Whatever was said last night during the first well a
second first first one be presidential debate, whatever they said
(00:31):
is happening against Springfield, not this one jarred me back
to life a little as uh, We've not done this
show in a couple of weeks. The reason being is
is a lot of behind the scenes things have been happening,
and then a huge event, our biggest event of the
(00:54):
year just wrapped up a couple of days ago, and
it's a four day thing, but it takes you know, months, weeks,
and the last few days leading into it just tons
and tons of hours in order to get it all done. Regardless. Sorry,
I mean, I know how many people listen to this,
so to the four of you, that's not true. But
(01:17):
I'm sorry. But there's a good reason for it. And
as transparent as this show usually is, I'm not going
to tell you the reasons behind why we took some
time away. Also, I don't want to, like it's just
I'd rather focus on what's ahead of us, what's moving forward,
specifically today's show, which is first of all, all about
(01:42):
making sure people do not confuse Springfield, Ohio with Springfield, Missouri.
I'm sure we're very similar in a lot of ways,
just not the pets park. But also we're gonna talk
just how prepared are Americans for an emergency? Unrelated to
the Springfield talk, Also, what's going to be the most
popular Halloween costumes this year? We're two months out, might
(02:05):
as well start talking about it. Your most radical position
that's not political. I've got one. I've never sat on
the air before, and I m ooh, I don't know,
see nope, I don't know. Maybe I'll maybe, maybe I'll
share it. I've got a backup. I've got like a
(02:27):
sort of radical position. One of them, though, you might
get me hated on forever, and that's all right. We'll
gut check when the time comes. When we get to
that topic, we'll see. Also, the stupid thing most Americans
believe that they would be willing to go into debt
(02:48):
over and it's just dumb. And you remember how I
always say there's no magic pill that helps you lose weight.
Well maybe not anymore. And this isn't a joke or
another iteration of what's happened in the past when it
was basically like speed and cocaine, in a pill that's
not it. In fact, we'll start there. There's a new
(03:12):
diet pill by is it we go vy? Is that
how you say this? They're the makers of the shove
it into your stab yourself and they'll lose weight. Well,
apparently they've come out with a new pill. The Study
of diabetes, Oh and I'm sorry. The European Association for
the Study of Diabetes has been tracking this new weight
loss pill of theirs and has found that most people
(03:34):
who take it have reduced their body weight by thirteen
percent after only three months. Now I know the shots work.
I have a friend of mine. In fact, what is it? Like?
Everybody else in the world except for me. Apparently who's
needed to lose weight has taken these shots and they've
worked for them. So we know there's proof there, real
life proof, not just you know I read it on
(03:56):
the internet or springfield. I saw a guy on TV
talk about it. It must be true. And now from
the same makers of you know, shoot yourself up with
this and it'll help you lose weight, And it actually does.
There is now a pill early trial stages and has
yet to be tested in like head to head trials
against other weight loss drugs that already exist, but uh,
(04:20):
it's coming sooner rather than later. You get test results
like that, and especially when you've got WEGOVY or WEGOVY
or whatever the name is there, the magic pill may
actually exist. How prepared are Americans for an emergency? A
headline like that makes people stick around. That's half the
(04:41):
reason why I would do this. I truthfully don't care.
I mean, I know it's bad, I just I don't
like it's an emergency. If you obsess about being prepared
for an emergency, how are you living the rest of
your life? Man? Because the emergencies only make up like
there is much a part of it. I live the
(05:02):
opposite way, completely by choice. Other people don't. However, we're
all a little obsessed with emergency situations, aren't we. There's
an entire thing Chicago PD, fire, nurses, police city government.
Is there a Chicago City government show that they are.
It's like one night a week, they're just Chicago emergency.
(05:23):
Let's do it. And then there's all the others. We
love us. Some emergency stuff turns out its National prepared
this month, So if you didn't know, now you know.
And a new surveys reached out to just the average
Americans like you and me, other Springfield resident pet owners,
pet lovers. I'm sorry, I can't get off it. I'm
gonna stop. I'm done. They'll probably be one more joke
(05:44):
at some point. I don't know when it's coming, but
then I'm done. Anyways, The survey of Americans found that
if they had five minutes or less to evacuate, people
are probably going to grab their cell phone and not
their Social Security card, which I guess is you shouldn't.
You should have your NA. What you're telling me that
(06:07):
in the event of an emergency, I should grab my
Social Security card before I grab my cell phone. That
makes no sense to me. There's going to be some
people who immediately think, well, we'll do just an emergency.
The satellites will be down, all right, they'll come back
up at some point. Right. If there's one things I
(06:32):
know about, you know, tacket information companies, it's that they need,
absolutely need people to be online. They'll get it back up. Also,
all my phones, like all the phones have pictures and
maybe social Security cards in them too. I don't know.
I probably should have never taken a picture of one,
but I think I did with one of my kids
once it's gone now. By the way, I deleted it
(06:53):
because I was like, oh crap, that's probably not good.
Two thirds of Americans say that they are taking emergency
preparedness more seriously now than they did ten years ago,
and thirty six percent say that they are the most
prepared person they know. Well, that's just that's just hubris. Anyways,
I don't know does that answer the question how prepared
(07:16):
our Americans? Maybe that's not the way we should position
it on the air. Huh. In the events of an emergency,
what's the first thing you should grab? Then we can
have a debate whether it should be a Social Security
card or cell phone. I don't know why they would
say social Security card over their cell phone is the
way to go. That makes no sense to me. Then again,
(07:36):
these are who is this? Who made this? By the way,
the National Preparedness Month? Who is in charge of that?
Is there like a National Preparedness Agency? I might scrap
this whole story altogether. This is dumb. Everything but the headline,
which would be the title of today's episode if you
know not this Springfield wasn't such a prevalent story today.
(08:00):
It sucks too, because today's September eleventh, you know, twenty
three year anniversary, and today all we're talking about is,
you know, one side of the other. Everyone's entrenched in
their views following the you know what they deemed is
either unfair or fact checked whatever. Most popular Halloween costumes
(08:23):
the ones you should expect to see, you know, in
other people's pictures because you're not going out. Google trends
has uh Beetlejuice as number one. The Wicked Witches? When
does that movie come out with Ariana Grande. I'm gonna
search for it right now. Has the Wicked Witch is
Deadpool and Wolverine. That'll be a good one. I actually
(08:45):
went to the theater and saw that movie. It's the
first movie I've seen in the theater since I don't know,
I sleep through most of them kids movies mostly. Jojo
Sewatt makes the list at number one two four. How
is she still a thing? No? Really? Is it not transparent?
Like what she like? As soon as it fell off,
(09:07):
like as soon as she was at like the top
of her game, right kids stuff, and then it was, oh,
things are falling off, I'm coming out, and she came out.
I'm not saying that that was the reason why she
did it. I'm not saying that it's not truthful in
any way. It's pretty well known though, that doing something
like that is a headline grabber and gets the attention
back on you. Right. She didn't have to do that.
(09:29):
She chose to do it very publicly, and that's fine.
But I mean, I think we've all been around Hollywood
and celebrities enough to know that it's also a tool
used sometimes to regain popularity. And then here's whatever this
new Gene Simmons version of her is? What is that?
(09:50):
If the first one wasn't transparent enough, can we all
agree that this one's pretty transparent? Now I'm bad Jojo Siwah,
I'm a bad version now, but a Gene Sibbons thing. Oh,
and isn't that over like she had like two weeks
where people were like, yeah, man, and now what this
(10:12):
is gonna get me in trouble with the Jojo sewap people? Am?
I I'm fine? And then the Raygon or ray Gun
is that her name? Ray Gun? I like saying Raygon
because it makes it sound cooler than she actually is.
The number one breakdancer in the world now apparently, do
you see that story come out the lady who had
all the memes made about her and her breakdancing quote
(10:32):
unquote skills zero points in the Olympics. Number one ran
breakdancer in the world based on what name recognition. They
say it's based on the average scores of her last
four competitions. That's why she's number one of the world.
How is that possible? Oh, they don't count the Olympics.
(10:53):
That's why zero points. She could have not showed up
to the Olympics and scored just as many points as
she did by having a seizure on the ground or
whatever that was. Beetlejuice number one, Wicked. By the way,
the movie comes out November twenty second. I'm gonna do
(11:15):
the most radical position thing last here as I still
contemplate whether or not I'm gonna drop the uh my
actual most radical position radical little allergy stuffy here radical
forty percent of Americans. This does not give me any faith.
By the way, just in our country as a whole,
(11:35):
forty percent of Americans think that getting the new iPhone
is worth going into credit card debt over You saw
probably if you didn't see the specifics of it, you
at least saw a. Apple announced the new iPhone and
it's what zo point one inches bigger? That's it, right,
(11:55):
same screen, same Pretty much everything comes out this month,
and nearly half of all Americans think, well, that's worth
putting on my credit card so I can go into
debt over just getting it. Because I don't know why.
I don't understand it. I don't understand Apple just as
a concept. Tons of friends who love their Apple stuff,
(12:18):
don't get me wrong, I just don't understand why that
brand commands so much loyalty. Maybe it's because I've never
had an Apple product. I've used them just all right.
It's fine, just another way of doing the same thing
I was already doing, you know, and then you're trapped too.
(12:39):
They don't like to share their stuff. They had to fight,
but they had to get sued by I think Europe
as a continent in order to put a USBC into
their phone like everybody else in the world had at
the time. They were like lightning cord. They didn't get
sued by a continent in order to make this thing
that was eccess to everybody, you know, be accessible to everybody,
(13:02):
including Apple. I never liked that caveat. I never liked
how it was just exclusively like their whatever. It doesn't matter.
Forty percent of Americans think that they're going to go
into debt over it, though, so enjoy your new iPhone.
Hurt it zo point one inches bigger point three If
you ask a man, that's a joke I can't do
on the air. But solid again, if you ask a man,
(13:26):
it's pretty solid, all right. And finally, there was a
thread on Twitter X. I'm gonna keep calling it twitter
x because one of the dumbest marketing moves of all
time was rebranding one of the most well known brands
in the entire world for no reason with no research
into just x, like it's a porn site. Twitter X
and thread popped up a couple days ago and asked
(13:50):
people to take a break from politics and give your
most radical position that is not right nor is it
left on the political spectrum. Four thousand different responses. Some
of them I think you could say that's pretty lefty
or that's a pretty right wing thing. Pay teachers eighty
(14:12):
thousand dollars plus. For example. You could perceive that it's
lefty or righty. I don't know it's lefty. I know
what it is. Other unexpected radical positions include the moon
should be its own state. That would be I mean,
pretty awesome, but I mean it would we have to
(14:34):
figure out who owns it first or runs it. I
guess you can't own it like does America own I
guess we do. Fireworks should be anthrax level illegal is
another one. Well, yeah, I mean I lived in California
my whole childhood. The state just catches on fire without fireworks.
Most of the time. I would want those. It was
(14:56):
so illegal. My mom. I remember I brought some came
back my first couple of years here in the Ozarks,
and then I took fireworks that I had got because
I had an out of state license. And apparently in
Missouri you can just buy fireworks whenever you want. It
doesn't have to be the fourth of July if you
have an out of state license, including California, where they are,
I would say, pretty near anthrax level illegal. And I
(15:21):
took them home mostly just to take out into the
desert and shoot off some bottle rockets. And I remember
I think I left for a day to hang out
with friends and came back and my mom had given
them to the fire department. It was like it might
as well have been drugs or something you know that
you discovered. Oh my god, do you have a radical position?
(15:45):
I'm sure you do. Whether or not you're willing to
admit it publicly is one thing, but I am sure
you do. My go to in this because this question
gets brought up from time to time, I'm concerned answering
it truthfully with my most radical position will reframe how
I am viewed publicly. Privately, I've admitted it many, many,
(16:10):
many times. Publicly, though, this is one of the worst
things I think you can say if you want people
to like you, and part of this job, like it
or not, is getting people to like you, or you know,
spending eighteen years getting public opinion to at least go Now,
(16:31):
he's fine on your side, right like that? It's fine.
I just need to be acceptable, not ugh, So the
answer I usually go with when it's in a public
setting like this. You're telling me that they haven't made
a rubber yet that doesn't wear down or wears down
(16:53):
dramatically less than say the rubber on your car tires,
for example. You're telling me that with all the things
we're able to do scientifically, we haven't figured out a
way to make car tires last the entire life of
the car. Come on, you know the technologies out there,
just like you know the reason why they can't let
(17:15):
it go. These tire companies that make their money by
having people you know, change them every couple of years,
how much money they would lose, just rubber producers in
general would lose if the you know, good rubber actually
came to light. They're sitting on it, guaranteed. Bet you.
Every couple of years, someone comes up, some kid who's
going to like Stanford or somewhere like you know important,
(17:36):
comes up with a formula. This is going to change
the world, you guys. I came up with a rubber
that you could use for six hundred thousand miles before
the tread ever wears down. And he starts writing his
paper about it. And then some very well placed professor
who gets a little kicked back from the you know,
Bridgetone or whomever. I don't not calling out Bridgetone. It's
(17:58):
just the first tire company I could think. Go they
make golf balls too, Randomly somebody there. He gets a
call from the professor who goes, hey, we got another one,
And then they approach the kid and say we'll give
you eight million dollars or something crazy, some kind of
crazy rubber money to buy his formula and bury it.
(18:21):
There's no way. There's no way that hasn't happened, or
at least some form of that. That's the answer I
typically go with. As for the real one, I can't
(18:42):
do it. I can't. I know. I built it up
like it was going to be this big reveal, but
I can't do it. I made it sound maybe worse
than an Actually it's not. By the way, it has
nothing to do with people. Does that help my calls
at all with you? Did I just betray your trust enough?
Here's the thing. I would rather betray your trust in
this then let you react to the thing I was
(19:05):
gonna say. Hmm, we continue on in mystery together. Thanks
for being here. It is a welcome back edition of
the Girly Show. We're gonna chop this up and turn
it into a show that goes on the air at
some point, but uh, that one doesn't matter as much.
This one matters. I'm glad you're here for it. You
(19:26):
have a great rest of your day, and if we
talk to you later, awesome. If not no worries. Hopefully
we'll talk to you tomorrow
Oh not this Springfield. Just want to make that perfectly clear.
Whatever was said last night during the first well a
second first first one be presidential debate, whatever they said
(00:31):
is happening against Springfield, not this one jarred me back
to life a little as uh, We've not done this
show in a couple of weeks. The reason being is
is a lot of behind the scenes things have been happening,
and then a huge event, our biggest event of the
(00:54):
year just wrapped up a couple of days ago, and
it's a four day thing, but it takes you know, months, weeks,
and the last few days leading into it just tons
and tons of hours in order to get it all done. Regardless. Sorry,
I mean, I know how many people listen to this,
so to the four of you, that's not true. But
(01:17):
I'm sorry. But there's a good reason for it. And
as transparent as this show usually is, I'm not going
to tell you the reasons behind why we took some
time away. Also, I don't want to, like it's just
I'd rather focus on what's ahead of us, what's moving forward,
specifically today's show, which is first of all, all about
(01:42):
making sure people do not confuse Springfield, Ohio with Springfield, Missouri.
I'm sure we're very similar in a lot of ways,
just not the pets park. But also we're gonna talk
just how prepared are Americans for an emergency? Unrelated to
the Springfield talk, Also, what's going to be the most
popular Halloween costumes this year? We're two months out, might
(02:05):
as well start talking about it. Your most radical position
that's not political. I've got one. I've never sat on
the air before, and I m ooh, I don't know,
see nope, I don't know. Maybe I'll maybe, maybe I'll
share it. I've got a backup. I've got like a
(02:27):
sort of radical position. One of them, though, you might
get me hated on forever, and that's all right. We'll
gut check when the time comes. When we get to
that topic, we'll see. Also, the stupid thing most Americans
believe that they would be willing to go into debt
(02:48):
over and it's just dumb. And you remember how I
always say there's no magic pill that helps you lose weight.
Well maybe not anymore. And this isn't a joke or
another iteration of what's happened in the past when it
was basically like speed and cocaine, in a pill that's
not it. In fact, we'll start there. There's a new
(03:12):

apparently they've come out with a new pill. The Study

the Study of Diabetes has been tracking this new weight

I have a friend of mine. In fact, what is it? Like?
Everybody else in the world except for me. Apparently who's
needed to lose weight has taken these shots and they've
worked for them. So we know there's proof there, real
life proof, not just you know I read it on
(03:56):
the internet or springfield. I saw a guy on TV
talk about it. It must be true. And now from
the same makers of you know, shoot yourself up with
this and it'll help you lose weight, And it actually does.
There is now a pill early trial stages and has
yet to be tested in like head to head trials
against other weight loss drugs that already exist, but uh,
(04:20):
it's coming sooner rather than later. You get test results
like that, and especially when you've got WEGOVY or WEGOVY
or whatever the name is there, the magic pill may
actually exist. How prepared are Americans for an emergency? A
headline like that makes people stick around. That's half the
(04:41):
reason why I would do this. I truthfully don't care.
I mean, I know it's bad, I just I don't
like it's an emergency. If you obsess about being prepared
for an emergency, how are you living the rest of
your life? Man? Because the emergencies only make up like
there is much a part of it. I live the

all a little obsessed with emergency situations, aren't we. There's
an entire thing Chicago PD, fire, nurses, police city government.
Is there a Chicago City government show that they are.
It's like one night a week, they're just Chicago emergency.
(05:23):
Let's do it. And then there's all the others. We
love us. Some emergency stuff turns out its National prepared
this month, So if you didn't know, now you know.
And a new surveys reached out to just the average
Americans like you and me, other Springfield resident pet owners,
pet lovers. I'm sorry, I can't get off it. I'm
gonna stop. I'm done. They'll probably be one more joke
(05:44):

because I was like, oh crap, that's probably not good.
Two thirds of Americans say that they are taking emergency

and thirty six percent say that they are the most

I don't know does that answer the question how prepared
(07:16):
our Americans? Maybe that's not the way we should position
it on the air. Huh. In the events of an emergency,
what's the first thing you should grab? Then we can
have a debate whether it should be a Social Security
card or cell phone. I don't know why they would
say social Security card over their cell phone is the
way to go. That makes no sense to me. Then again,
(07:36):
these are who is this? Who made this? By the way,
the National Preparedness Month? Who is in charge of that?
Is there like a National Preparedness Agency? I might scrap
this whole story altogether. This is dumb. Everything but the headline,
which would be the title of today's episode if you
know not this Springfield wasn't such a prevalent story today.
(08:00):
It sucks too, because today's September eleventh, you know, twenty
three year anniversary, and today all we're talking about is,
you know, one side of the other. Everyone's entrenched in
their views following the you know what they deemed is
either unfair or fact checked whatever. Most popular Halloween costumes
(08:23):
the ones you should expect to see, you know, in
other people's pictures because you're not going out. Google trends
has uh Beetlejuice as number one. The Wicked Witches? When
does that movie come out with Ariana Grande. I'm gonna
search for it right now. Has the Wicked Witch is
Deadpool and Wolverine. That'll be a good one. I actually
(08:45):
went to the theater and saw that movie. It's the
first movie I've seen in the theater since I don't know,
I sleep through most of them kids movies mostly. Jojo
Sewatt makes the list at number one two four. How
is she still a thing? No? Really? Is it not transparent?
Like what she like? As soon as it fell off,
(09:07):
like as soon as she was at like the top
of her game, right kids stuff, and then it was, oh,
things are falling off, I'm coming out, and she came out.
I'm not saying that that was the reason why she
did it. I'm not saying that it's not truthful in
any way. It's pretty well known though, that doing something
like that is a headline grabber and gets the attention

(09:29):
She chose to do it very publicly, and that's fine.
But I mean, I think we've all been around Hollywood
and celebrities enough to know that it's also a tool
used sometimes to regain popularity. And then here's whatever this
new Gene Simmons version of her is? What is that?
(09:50):
If the first one wasn't transparent enough, can we all
agree that this one's pretty transparent? Now I'm bad Jojo Siwah,
I'm a bad version now, but a Gene Sibbons thing. Oh,
and isn't that over like she had like two weeks
where people were like, yeah, man, and now what this
(10:12):
is gonna get me in trouble with the Jojo sewap people? Am?
I I'm fine? And then the Raygon or ray Gun
is that her name? Ray Gun? I like saying Raygon
because it makes it sound cooler than she actually is.
The number one breakdancer in the world now apparently, do
you see that story come out the lady who had
all the memes made about her and her breakdancing quote
(10:32):
unquote skills zero points in the Olympics. Number one ran
breakdancer in the world based on what name recognition. They
say it's based on the average scores of her last
four competitions. That's why she's number one of the world.
How is that possible? Oh, they don't count the Olympics.
(10:53):
That's why zero points. She could have not showed up
to the Olympics and scored just as many points as
she did by having a seizure on the ground or
whatever that was. Beetlejuice number one, Wicked. By the way,
the movie comes out November twenty second. I'm gonna do
(11:15):
the most radical position thing last here as I still
contemplate whether or not I'm gonna drop the uh my
actual most radical position radical little allergy stuffy here radical
forty percent of Americans. This does not give me any faith.
By the way, just in our country as a whole,
(11:35):
forty percent of Americans think that getting the new iPhone
is worth going into credit card debt over You saw
probably if you didn't see the specifics of it, you
at least saw a. Apple announced the new iPhone and
it's what zo point one inches bigger? That's it, right,
(11:55):
same screen, same Pretty much everything comes out this month,
and nearly half of all Americans think, well, that's worth
putting on my credit card so I can go into
debt over just getting it. Because I don't know why.
I don't understand it. I don't understand Apple just as
a concept. Tons of friends who love their Apple stuff,
(12:18):
don't get me wrong, I just don't understand why that
brand commands so much loyalty. Maybe it's because I've never
had an Apple product. I've used them just all right.
It's fine, just another way of doing the same thing
I was already doing, you know, and then you're trapped too.
(12:39):
They don't like to share their stuff. They had to fight,
but they had to get sued by I think Europe
as a continent in order to put a USBC into
their phone like everybody else in the world had at
the time. They were like lightning cord. They didn't get
sued by a continent in order to make this thing
that was eccess to everybody, you know, be accessible to everybody,
(13:02):
including Apple. I never liked that caveat. I never liked
how it was just exclusively like their whatever. It doesn't matter.
Forty percent of Americans think that they're going to go
into debt over it, though, so enjoy your new iPhone.
Hurt it zo point one inches bigger point three If
you ask a man, that's a joke I can't do
on the air. But solid again, if you ask a man,
(13:26):
it's pretty solid, all right. And finally, there was a
thread on Twitter X. I'm gonna keep calling it twitter
x because one of the dumbest marketing moves of all
time was rebranding one of the most well known brands
in the entire world for no reason with no research
into just x, like it's a porn site. Twitter X
and thread popped up a couple days ago and asked
(13:50):
people to take a break from politics and give your
most radical position that is not right nor is it
left on the political spectrum. Four thousand different responses. Some
of them I think you could say that's pretty lefty
or that's a pretty right wing thing. Pay teachers eighty
(14:12):
thousand dollars plus. For example. You could perceive that it's
lefty or righty. I don't know it's lefty. I know
what it is. Other unexpected radical positions include the moon
should be its own state. That would be I mean,
pretty awesome, but I mean it would we have to
(14:34):
figure out who owns it first or runs it. I
guess you can't own it like does America own I
guess we do. Fireworks should be anthrax level illegal is
another one. Well, yeah, I mean I lived in California
my whole childhood. The state just catches on fire without fireworks.
Most of the time. I would want those. It was
(14:56):
so illegal. My mom. I remember I brought some came
back my first couple of years here in the Ozarks,
and then I took fireworks that I had got because
I had an out of state license. And apparently in
Missouri you can just buy fireworks whenever you want. It
doesn't have to be the fourth of July if you
have an out of state license, including California, where they are,
I would say, pretty near anthrax level illegal. And I
(15:21):
took them home mostly just to take out into the
desert and shoot off some bottle rockets. And I remember
I think I left for a day to hang out
with friends and came back and my mom had given
them to the fire department. It was like it might
as well have been drugs or something you know that
you discovered. Oh my god, do you have a radical position?
(15:45):
I'm sure you do. Whether or not you're willing to
admit it publicly is one thing, but I am sure
you do. My go to in this because this question
gets brought up from time to time, I'm concerned answering
it truthfully with my most radical position will reframe how
I am viewed publicly. Privately, I've admitted it many, many,
(16:10):
many times. Publicly, though, this is one of the worst
things I think you can say if you want people
to like you, and part of this job, like it
or not, is getting people to like you, or you know,
spending eighteen years getting public opinion to at least go Now,
(16:31):
he's fine on your side, right like that? It's fine.
I just need to be acceptable, not ugh, So the
answer I usually go with when it's in a public
setting like this. You're telling me that they haven't made
a rubber yet that doesn't wear down or wears down
(16:53):
dramatically less than say the rubber on your car tires,
for example. You're telling me that with all the things
we're able to do scientifically, we haven't figured out a
way to make car tires last the entire life of
the car. Come on, you know the technologies out there,
just like you know the reason why they can't let
(17:15):
it go. These tire companies that make their money by
having people you know, change them every couple of years,
how much money they would lose, just rubber producers in
general would lose if the you know, good rubber actually
came to light. They're sitting on it, guaranteed. Bet you.
Every couple of years, someone comes up, some kid who's
going to like Stanford or somewhere like you know important,
(17:36):
comes up with a formula. This is going to change
the world, you guys. I came up with a rubber
that you could use for six hundred thousand miles before
the tread ever wears down. And he starts writing his
paper about it. And then some very well placed professor
who gets a little kicked back from the you know,
Bridgetone or whomever. I don't not calling out Bridgetone. It's
(17:58):
just the first tire company I could think. Go they
make golf balls too, Randomly somebody there. He gets a
call from the professor who goes, hey, we got another one,
And then they approach the kid and say we'll give
you eight million dollars or something crazy, some kind of
crazy rubber money to buy his formula and bury it.
(18:21):
There's no way. There's no way that hasn't happened, or
at least some form of that. That's the answer I
typically go with. As for the real one, I can't
(18:42):
do it. I can't. I know. I built it up
like it was going to be this big reveal, but
I can't do it. I made it sound maybe worse
than an Actually it's not. By the way, it has
nothing to do with people. Does that help my calls
at all with you? Did I just betray your trust enough?
Here's the thing. I would rather betray your trust in
this then let you react to the thing I was
(19:05):
gonna say. Hmm, we continue on in mystery together. Thanks
for being here. It is a welcome back edition of
the Girly Show. We're gonna chop this up and turn
it into a show that goes on the air at
some point, but uh, that one doesn't matter as much.
This one matters. I'm glad you're here for it. You
(19:26):
have a great rest of your day, and if we
talk to you later, awesome. If not no worries. Hopefully
we'll talk to you tomorrow
