Speaker 1 (00:00):
Are you gonna make me show my Blockbuster card too?
It's one more.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Thing I'm strong, and one more thing I like when
you use your valley guy voice. I know, an old
surfer dude. Yeah, he's got to be pushing eighty, still
has blonde hair, still wears at shaggy la. I've seen
pictures of when he was young. He was like your
classic beach boys on the beach surfer guy, you know,
(00:27):
when California was actually cool and everybody wanted to live here.
And he says he talks like that, and he says
for sure all the time. He actually does well.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And we have a mutual friend who answers that description too.
He's one of my favorite guys on Earth.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I'd never known anybody who actually said for sure other
than you know, oh yeah, for sure, for sure. And
he's like eighty.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yeah, that's a word to you. Bro. Yeah, it's beautiful.
So let's play the audio first and then we can
comment on it. This is Jim Acosta, who normally is
a vomit worthy presence on the American scene. A boil,
really on the fan oil American medium boil.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
This is not a good podcast. Put an explicit warning
on this or it's for medical profession I'm aardsmith.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
That was the only description.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah you had, Yeah the option you act like your yeah,
g act like you're you got one narrow choice, and
that is boils on heimis you know what.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Folks, Folks, people just don't appreciate greatness until after it's gone.
So anyway, six play as sixty four, Michael.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I mean, one interesting development that has emerged here in
Nevada is they're running into a problem with some of
the mail in ballots that have come in so far.
Some of the signatures have been an issue, and election
workers are now reaching out to some of those folks
out there who have signature issues. Your signatures need to
match those that are on file with the state. And
an interesting anecdote here, one of the problems that they're
(01:50):
running into is that a lot of young voters don't
know how to sign their names, and so when they've
signed their names onto some of these ballots, they are
not jiving with what state officials have on file, and
so what they're doing at this point is sort of
frantically reaching out to a lot of young voters across
the state of Nevada and saying, hey, wait a minute,
there's a problem with your ballot. You need to check
in with the state and make sure that your signature
(02:11):
is verified.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
So, as a guy who's been a curmudgeon since the
age of sixteen, you know, I hate to miss a
chance to kick the young But a couple of things.
The idea that your signature is your password is so outdated.
Number one, as a young person, you haven't developed a
signature that's consistent if you're eighteen nineteen.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I was speaking of being a curmudgeon. I came up
with one, practiced it after high school. I went back
and forth a couple of times. Finally settled on one
when I was about seventeen.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Right, I did too. Actually, I practice signing autographs, which
is a weird thing to do. But I would say,
particularly although mine evolved.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
In your mind, in your mind at the time, what
were you signing autographs for? Oh, gosh, for music art?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Maybe? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
You're just famous, just kind of generally famous.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
It's just really really multifaceted fame, you know.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Just a red carpet walk kind of a thing.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Ladies and gentlemen. The Senator from the great State of California,
you know, him from such silver screen classics as this
and that, four time Grammy winner and Major League Picture
Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
And uh and a great purveyor of descriptive euphemisms for
things like boils on asses.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Oh see yeah, yeah yeah see Katie. Yeah, he kicks me,
but we see your game anyway. I just I argue
that a lot of young people haven't developed what is
quote unquote a permanent signature. And I will tell you
this because it happened to me the other day. We
had to sign some forms my beloved bride and I
(03:57):
and I sign my name so frequently these days it's
all online. It's all docu signed or type in your name,
this will be your online signature, and imply and you
have agreed, blah blah blah. I just mine's gotten kind
of sloppy and inconsistent on it, honestly. So I just
think the use of the signature as you're like ID
(04:21):
is an antiquated notion. It's of a bygone era.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I got rejected at a bank a couple of years
ago because I was trying to close an account and
to do it, I had to sign my name and
I had apparently signed it differently my signatures didn't match,
and they wouldn't show me the old one, so I
didn't remember, and like I apparently had changed over the
last fifteen years or something, became a real hassle. That's dumb,
(04:46):
Like you just said, really, yeah, I'm not doing anything.
I'm not trying to commit a crime. I just don't
remember how I signed my name fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
But in the days of I unlocked my computer with
my fingerprint, and there's face recognition and then iris scans
and and the rest of it. You're going to test
my ability to write my name the same way I
always write it. I just seems silly. I don't know etiquated.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Do you put an eye over any it's you gotta
you don't have an eye in your name? Or no,
how do you spell Katie? I don't even know how
you spell Katie K A T I E. Okay. Do
you put a heart over the eye.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
No, I'm not twelve.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
No, some people do.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Some women do when when I was younger and I
thought it was cute, Yeah, but no, I'm I'm an adult.
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
That's what's sweet about little girls. I love it. I please.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Oh yeah. At the end, the little swirl all of it.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I thought that this story was going to be about
how they don't teach cursive in school anymore.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
No, which we've learned. Neuroscientists say there's something amazing about
writing a cursive that it connects the artistic part of
your brain and like the more practical, mathematic, physical part
of your brain in a way that virtually nothing else does.
I find that fascinating. I don't think there's any need
for cursive writing in the modern world anymore. I just
found that, in a neurological way, really intriguing.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Neither one of my kids learned cursive in school, and
I haven't worried about it at all.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I could see the connect between not learning cursive and
not knowing how to sign your name though.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah in hand, yeah, well yeah, you'd have to come
up with a signature kind of out of nowhere. Yeah.
If you never learned cursive, right, you know what, that's.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
My signature, I can still do it pretty well.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Hang on a second, I got to write best wishes.
Thanks for coming to my movie Slash Ball Game Slash Inauguration.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Weather's here. Wish you were beautiful? Yes, Katie, No.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I was.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I mean for some reason. I guess when I heard this,
it kind of blew my mind because I'm thinking, by
the time you're voting age, you don't have a signature.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
In the modern world, you might not all be. Anything
you would ever sign is probably docu sign like Joe.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
That's just so strange to me.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I can't wrap my head around it.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
And you ain't right.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
What's hilarious is I got my Social Security card when
I was a child. I can't even remember how old
I was, but and they have you signed the front
as a little child, right, I'm still going to be
signing my name like that at age fifty.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
That's pretty funny. Yeah, my soci Security card has my
ridiculous signature that I had at that age.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Letters. Yeah, that wasn't that young. The d's look like these.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
No, what was the point of that.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
So anyway, Nevada and other other states are having problems
with trying to figure out this Joe Getty doesn't look
anything like the Joe Getty when he registered to vote
twenty eight years ago or whatever, And it's silly. Let's
move on.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Have you ever seen Trump signature? I hate to be
all about Trump on this day after election? Do have
you seen trump signature?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
We have squiggle.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
He signed a letter for my son when he was
getting medical care, and that we keep in a safe
place because I think he'll appreciate it some day that
he's got a signed letter from the President. I know
you're going through a thing today, Henry, good luck with that.
Blah blah blah blah. And he signed it. But his
signature is really wacky. It's like a how many times
has Donald Trump signed his name through the years of
(08:20):
all the legal stuff and being a celebrity, Holy goal.
You would have to come up with a weird signature, right, And.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Your signature can be anything you want it to be. Too,
need not resemble the letters in your name at all.
If you just replicate it.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Maybe I'll come up with some prints like symbols, become
my signature, some umlats and squiggles.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
And a beaver whatever you want. Draw a pair of pants,
pants right of panted beaver decency to cover up his genitals. Ah,
what was I going to say? I had one more
thought on this. It's just a signature, a squiggle. Nope,
(09:01):
what's gone.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Have anything to do with boils.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Now and now you now.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
We gotta get out at two kt with a heart
over it.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I just signed my name in an X and in
kran Well.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I guess that's it.
Are you gonna make me show my Blockbuster card too?
It's one more.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
