Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Getty and he.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Armstrong and Eddy.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
We've had discussions. You and I have had discussions. We
thought we had that settled numerous times. And then President
Putin goes out and starts launching rockets into some city
like Kief and kills a lot of people in a
nursing home or whatever. You have bodies lying all over
the street. And I say, that's not the way to
do it. So we'll see what happens with that. Are
(00:45):
very disappointed. I'm disappointed, and President Putin very disappointed at him.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
So we're gonna have to look and.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I'm going to reduce that fifty days that I gave
him to a lesser number because I think I already
know the answer. What's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Okay, thank you very much, everybody. Was he This is
one of the building most interesting stories on planet Earth.
I think the slow build to the United States being
pretty damned involved in this. And uh, I don't know
a lot of you who voted for Trump are not
(01:20):
going to dig it. But and whether this is whether
he's playing a game, or this is actually the way
his mind works. I don't have the slightest idea. I
find it very hard to believe that a guy, if
nothing else, Trump's deal is, you know, reading people, making deals,
winning battles. You don't end up a billionaire real estate
(01:46):
developer by being that unaware of people's obvious personalities. It
just doesn't make sense to me. Now, like you misread
putin this badly.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, the best I can come up with is he
it doesn't understand fanaticism. He just can't comprehend it, whether
it's ideological fanaticism like Islama fascists, because he's made noises
like you know, he'll just appeal to the mulas in
Iran that they can have a great economy and some
(02:18):
profit and it'll be great.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
He can't understand anybody not just doing what's in their
best financial interest. Having anything, in short, having anything elevated
above your financial interest doesn't make sense to him.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
I believe that that's the only thing I can come
up with, because you know, your your introduction I think
is quite correct. We are heading toward seriously enhanced involvement
in a new turning of the you know, new pivot
point in Ukraine, and and Putin gets to say so,
who knows how he reacts?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Then where it goes from there, we'll get plenty of
chance to talk about that couple of things I wanted
to hit. I'm just going to go through like it's
from the weekend. Israel put out a Yeah, Israel put
out a story about Iran's supreme leader. I don't know
if this is true or not, but the Masad put
out a report that the Ayatola come and e sleeps
(03:18):
all day and when he's not asleep, he's high on
a variety of substances. Now, the Masad may have just
put that out to poke him and make the religious
Zella's hate him or something, or maybe true, very well,
could be true. He's really old, he's rarely seen. It
(03:38):
could be on medications that make him loopy or something
like that. Or is he like burning the gonge? Is
that what they're suggesting. Oh, they didn't mention a specific drug.
Several people have told me, have you seen it, Michael,
you've talked about it before, that that new Billy Joel
documentary is really good.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I haven't seen it yet, but I won't watch it.
A couple of people told me it's really good. Now,
did it just coincidentally come out at the same time
that he announced he's got a debilitating disease that will
keep him from being able to play again? Is it
just a coincidence? Probably? Wow, it's a hell of a
while to put.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Together a couple hour long documentary.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Hell of a promotion. But anyway, for wait a second
promotion of what the documentary? I feel like that's how I.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Began see I was looking at it backwards.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, the way I became aware of the documentary was
his disease. Uh.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Anyway, the second labeless section of the podcast, Jack claims
Billy Joel is faking a debilitating brain disease to promote
a documentary.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I am claiming that disgusting. The second part of Billy
Joel and So It Goes came out over the weekend,
and like I said, I've heard from people who really
really liked it. I hadn't heard this story before. Billy
Joel reveals how Elton John and their feud led him
to get sober. So do you remember when it was
Rocketman Meets the Piano Man that tour back in the day,
(05:06):
Elton and Billy Joel toured together, which I wish i'd
have seen, but I didn't. Yeah, they did that a
handful of times. Yeah, so successful. Well, apparently it ended because,
or at least one of the tours ended early because
Elton got fed up with Billy either having to cancel
shows or not showing up ready to play or whatever
because he was drinking too much, and Elton called him
(05:29):
out on that in a Rolling Stone interview that really
pissed off Billy Joel. How dare you you know? Air
dirty laundry to Rolling Stone about this or whatever? But
it led to Billy Joel deciding that, yeah, I'm out
of control. I need to get my act together, and
you went to Rehabit has been sober ever since, according
to Billy Joel. So that's kind of interesting. Elton's love
(05:55):
truth Jack truth matters Elton who looks like an old lesbian?
True true fact?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Mmm fact check, Elton John does look like an old Lesbian's.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
No getting around that. What was the other thing I
wanted to get on? Oh and this is just dumb,
So my son was having I've been testing GROC and
chat GPT with various questions so far chat GPT is
getting the better of grock. Maybe I'm not using it
for the right things, But my son was complaining of
(06:31):
a pain that he's got underneath his lower right rib
cage that's been persistent for several days. And my son
is quite stoic about this sort of stuff. So anyway,
we're at breakfast yesterday and so I chat GPT it,
which is always a good idea if you have any
ailment whatsoever, just ask the Internet. You're you're sure to
get good advice and not make you freak out at all.
(06:51):
But anyway, the leading suggestion from chat GBT was something
called intercostal muscle strain or slipping rib syndrome, which we
got a big laugh out of that. Hold still, oh
my god, slipping rib syndrome srs. Yeah, of course you
don't want to have that. The most likely thing is
(07:12):
a kidney stone, which my son would rather, he said,
I'd rather step in front of a train than pass
a kidney stone from what I've heard about it. But uh,
slipping rib syndrome. Are you familiar with this? Fighting around
on you? I don't know. I want that.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Well. Back in the day, it'd probably take a visit
to seven different doctors to get that diagnosis, but these
days they hit the artificial intelligence too, the docs do.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yeah. Yeah, I was listening to a podcast about AI
as I do a lot. I don't know if it's
just zeitgeist kind of comes in waves, but I feel
like the current zeitgeist wave is away from AI immediately
taking over the world and upending all of society and
(07:57):
more toward. It's been oversold, it's got all kinds of flaws.
If it happens someday, it ain't going to be soon.
So I just feel like there's more of a flow
that direction. Doesn't mean it's true at all. It might
just be a you know the thing we talk about,
Like a trend gets hot, then there has to be
a backlash to the trend, and then there's a backlash
(08:17):
to the backlash. That's just the way things go. It
might just be that with AI. But there's a lot
of AI crap out there.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Yeah, and we've gotten some really really interesting emails from
folks in the know, including I'm holding in my greasy
mets right now, a three pager including a bunch of
stuff from AI. Interestingly enough, from Bob, who had a
thirty year career in it and like sophisticated stuff. He
did not work at, you know, radio shack then Best
(08:50):
buy Man.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
How much did your career change from getting a screwdriver
to get a floppy disc out of something to whatever
was going on more recently?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Do you want to hear what he has to say?
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Absolutely, we could hit that a couple of really interesting perspectives. Plus,
I want to hear about the woman with the world's
largest lips or was it the world's largest woman with lips?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I can't remember. You've mentioned it several times.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
It was the former, not the latter. Us. Yes, and
I saw one a person similar to that over the weekend.
And what my sun said will shock you, actually won't
if you have ever listened to the show. We got
a lot on the way stay here, I shot.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
The high tech. Cinephiles at Imax are having a banner year.
So far, a record eight films unleashed on the box
office have been filmed for Imax and released in Imax theaters,
bringing in a seven hundred million dollar global haul, with
one point two billion projected for the whole year. And
for your film fanatics, I love the experience. There are
seven more movies that were filmed with Imax coming out
(09:51):
this year. That's almost double what came out in twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Way more movies filmed to be aired at Imax. I've
never seen a regular movie at I've only seen you know,
like space or underwater or various things like that. I've
never seen a regular movie. I don't know what it'd
be like.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, it seems to me.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I saw one of the was it the last series
of Star Wars movies?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I can't remember something like that, but it was years ago, you, Katie.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I think I think it was this.
Speaker 6 (10:18):
I think it was the Star Wars movie thing too,
And I just remember my neck was killing me.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I was actually wondering that is it too much to
like looking around everywhere? Is it work?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I remember it being a little overwhelming, but I haven't
really been back.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's probably improved, I would imagine.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, almost certainly. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Anyway, speaking of looking at screens, we were talking about
AI as we often are, and I mentioned we've received
several just terrific emails from folks in the know, including
JT and Livermore says we have to stop and this
is one of the great difficult to pronounced words in
the English language anthrow pomorphosizing llm ais.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I large language model. I love that word in the concept.
I would use it more often if I could say.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
It anthro pomorphosizing, anthropomorphosizing, anthropomorphosizing, So like, sometimes when I
have to introduce somebody with like incredibly difficult name to pronounce,
I'll try. I'll practice it several times before we go
on the air. Anthropomorphosizing anyway, that's turning something that's not
human into a human. It's like every Disney cartoon ever
made with talking beasts. That is the aforementioned anthropomorphosizing anyway.
(11:33):
He as part of the problem in dealing with all
the things AI relating is that the language we use
is not really a precise or accurate portrayal of what
an lm AI is really doing to perform its functions.
Even the name is a mixed characterization. To be an
artificial intelligence implies that it has some kind of intelligence.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It does not. It has zero intelligence. It is an.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Incredibly complicated statistical handling algorithm. For example, the l LMAI
here after referred to as AI thank you, does not
understand that two plus two is four equals four. But
given that it has access to billions of bits of
information related to two plus two equals four, it is
a virtual statistical lock that the AI will correctly present
(12:16):
you with the correct answer. But if you ask it
to prove the two plus two equals five, you're looking
at a statistically low probability request. It might offer a hallucination.
That hallucination will be the most likely statistically based answer
that the algorithm can come up with. It isn't trying
to lie, It isn't trying to cheat. In fact, even
that term hallucination is prejudicial. It's not capable really of
(12:40):
making something up. Because, as I said, it is just
one giant, super complicated statistical analysis algorithm.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
It is difficult to break out of the idea of
treating it like it's alive. Mentally, it's hard to do,
and it's designed to try to pretend it's alive. I
mean at Grock especially, I know when if you ask
rocket question, will say, that's a good question. Here's what
I found out. You know, why did the why did
the why did an algorithm just say to me, that's
(13:08):
a good question, Like it's a person.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Yeah, I wish I knew anyway, and then JT is
a charming PS. Sorry, sometimes I think I have a
really great point and I'll be able to explain it
really well, and it just doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Still, I'll be people if happy if people realize that
AIS are not intelligent in any way, much like a
trans woman, llms are trans intelligent.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
AI fake intelligent.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Who didn't need to take a shot at the trans
community in this explanation? Did we do they actually have
a community? Where do they hang out? Anyway?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Eh? What AI is and is not? From Bob? That
was the aforementioned Bob. We had a thirty year career
in it. He says, I spent the last three weeks
deep into leveraging my professional and technical background to learning AI,
what it is, where it lives, what it takes to
run it in summary, because he just retired lllms. More specifically,
(14:06):
it's neural network is modeled after the human brain. It
does not hold all facts. It's not an allnoying oracle.
It's more akin to a very well read person with
knowledge in all fields. Think of a man that's read
and observed one hundred thousand books. He knows ideas conveying
those books and make in many cases specific facts. He
does not know what specific page number contained each fact,
though if prompted he can get to the book and
(14:27):
locate the fact information. Yeah, I'll skip that part. Unlike humans,
the LM's knowledge stops when it's finished training. That's not
to say it won't give current answers. One has to
qualify the question.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Asked. Then he gets.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Into a whole bunch of things that canon cannot do.
And how do we use it effectively? And we've had
other emails on this. Ask clear specific questions, follow up
for deeper reasoning or math, requests sources, or ask for
web search when facts matter. Used to explore, explain, or clarify,
(15:09):
not to make final decisions. Always verify legal, medical, financial,
or policy critical advice. I actually got some really good
medical advice over the weekend from chat GPH.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, and I'll tell you I've had this experience a
half dozen times at least of something that like you
would ask a therapist about dealing with an emotional family
relationship sort of thing, and the answers have been amazing,
like better than maybe any therapists I've ever talked to,
And like Wow, that makes great sense. Yeah, just stunning.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Yeah, and then it'll ask you you want me to
go into more detail on any one of those points,
let me know. And yeah, I had a similar experience
and it came up with examples and quotes that may
may not be legit, I don't know, from very famous.
In this case, it was athletes talking about stuff, and
(16:03):
it was enormously helpful.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Meanwhile, here's a longtime fan.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Ian h. I've been uh long time writing to you here.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
I'm worried that the race to AGI artificial general intelligence
presents the greatest threat to our life, liberty, and pursuit
of happiness. Well, we have no time, really even to
summarize this, but if we don't slow down this race,
I believe there will be dire consequences for humanity.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Uh, certainly, there's no slowing it down, though that first
part is undoable. Even if we did. The Chinese aren't.
So Yeah, here's here's a reenactment of what we're about
to talk about, a manual. Donald Politico has an interesting
(16:54):
story today about how world leaders call him up on
his cell phone on a regular basis and they just
have regularly bro conversations, which is kind of interesting, really
in a way that has never happened before, that among
all the things, stay with us, Armstrong and getty. Yeah,
(17:15):
I'd say ten to twelve days.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I'll announce it probably tonight or tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
But there's no reason to wait. If you know what
the answer is going to be. Why wait. So that's
a follow up to something Trump said earlier today when
ask about the fifty day pause with Russia, and he said,
there's no I'm not giving him the whole fifty days.
There's no indication from Putin that he's interested in a deal.
(17:40):
And then he just said they're ten to twelve days,
quite a speeded up timetable. And then the brutal sanctions hit.
They'll hit Russia, but I mean they hit some of
our allies like India, and you'll get punished.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Hard for trying to woo them to become a bigger
ally to help counter China.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Indian and Brazil will get hit hard for buying, for instance,
oil from Russia. So I'm interesting to see geopolitically how
that all plays out and what Putin's reaction to it is.
So the story in Politico Today and Politico they aren't
big fans of Trump, obviously, but in an article today
with some favorable Trump stuff about how Trump is incredibly unique,
(18:27):
could just stop the sentence there among presidents in the
way he just gives everybody his cell phone number. So
all world leaders, he said, you know, don't go through
the State Department or all that. Just here, here's my number.
Call me whenever you want or text, and they do.
And it has a list here of leaders like French
President Emmanuel Macron, Saudi Crown Prince Muhammed bin Sulman, Prime
(18:50):
Minister of Britain, Care Starmer, and others who just text
him or call him on his cell phone wherever they want,
and he talks to him. And the interesting thing that
Politico does, since they are mostly a Trump ainting outfit,
is how they say this has really helped his relationship
with a variety of leaders around the world, and how
(19:10):
they have much better communication and it has led to
some good outcomes.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Yeah, I can absolutely see the advantage of it. I
see the advantage of the other way too, But yeah,
I mean, especially given Trump's tendency to speak off the
cough and maybe make stronger pronouncements than we're used to
from presidents I could see, you know, the ability to
jump on the phone and instead of, you know, weeks
later after diplomatic efforts and lower level contacts, Hey, you
(19:37):
call them up and say it. That's stuff you said
about Ukraine?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Did you mean that?
Speaker 7 (19:42):
Or what?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
What's what are you thinking?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
It just straightens it out right. One person familiar with
one of President's conversations with Emmanuel McCrone, the leader of France,
recalled the two leaders browing it out as they greeted
one another. It was oddly amusing. Trump would say a
manual and draw out the L when he answered the phone,
and then and then Macrone would say Donald and draw
(20:08):
out the D. And it sort of went back and
forth like that.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
What was that?
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Wasn't there a famous Super Bowl commercial with uh, Well
they were all shouting the same greeting that was years ago.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
What's uh?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
What's up? Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Foreign officials credit their ability to adapt to Trump's free
willing style to improved personal relationships. What they say is
leading to more favorable outcomes. And for Politico to say
that is something.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Yeah, well, he's such a different guy in such a
different president. I mean, it makes perfect sense that the
communications would flow differently.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
When European officials said there's less friction and more alignment.
In some cases, some of that as a result of
a lot of leaders being more hands on with Trump
and yes, more solous solicitous uh, soliciting him in private
and leading to outcome that have been good, like the
whole NATO thing, and them being more on board with
(21:06):
trying to help out. They Politico anyway credits it to
this ability to people text and call and keep the
conversation going thing that Trump does.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Yeah, there are probably examples in life where less communication
is better.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I can actually think of a few people.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
But generally speaking, if you want to get something done,
more communications better.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I got to believe in this case almost all the time,
more communication is better, and the old style of it
has to go through the state department and perhaps a
think tank to determine how to respond. It takes six weeks. Uh,
not the best way to do it. Okay, that's enough
of that. I've been promising this for hours. I got
a picture to show Katie and Joe and Michael so
(21:51):
everybody could see the woman with the world's largest lips.
First of all, your reaction plastic surgery, used to.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Not be willing to do things for mentally ill people.
She is known as a woman with the world's largest lips.
Here's what she looked like before all.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Her surgeries, and there was a picture of a normal woman,
and she now has lips that look like she's got
a catcher's bit attached to her face.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
To call them clownish would be a disservice to clowns
and their time honored profession.
Speaker 7 (22:24):
That is a legitimate pool in her tube on her face. Yes, yeah,
so if she fell off a boat, she could float
by her lips. Kepst aloft to float by her lips.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
So we saw somebody not to that extent, but close
enough at the state Fair, California State Fair on Friday.
They were just walking in when we were walking out.
A woman who looked to be about fifty, who had
all kinds of stuff going on with her face. She
had the really squinty eyes and high cheek bones from
getting her face sucked back in all these different things.
(22:57):
But she had the ginormous catchers mint lips going. My
son said to me after we passed them, Dad, I
got three questions, why, why? And finally why? But uh,
and she had a husband with her. And to Joe's point,
when did we decide to not call out mental illness,
(23:21):
whether it's her husband or her friends or coworkers or whatever.
And I don't know. I feel like if you had
done that thirty years ago, certainly fifty years ago, a
whole bunch of people would have intervened and said, what
the ef are you doing?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Yeah, well yeah, And I use think you have to
do with my oft mentioned principle that if it was
just people you interacted with in real life, you would
be quickly informed that this is a bad idea. Whereas
you can find somebody to support any idiocy on the internet.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I don't know, I don't know, I know somebody. I'm
gonna be very vague because this is one of the
nicest people I've ever met, beautiful, beautiful, young human being
who would get their lips done on a regular basis,
and they would show up after getting their lips done.
It's like, what are you doing? Oh boy, why who's
(24:19):
that for? And you know, nobody's ever gonna say anything.
Should somebody say something, I might, i'd be pretty coo.
Well yeah, is it or isn't it?
Speaker 4 (24:29):
I actually have another fascinating study about how incredibly important
honesty is in relationship, even if it's a little hurtful.
Don't really have time for that to be honest? More significantly,
if you because I was looking for pictures of our
pre surgery. If you type into your search bar woman
with the world's lar here are the autofills, counting down
(24:53):
to number one from number What is this about eight?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Woman with the world's largest feet. I wasn't expecting that one.
Did you click on that for how large are they?
Was she just born with large feet? Or is she
getting like silicone pumped into her feet?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I think she just has very large feet.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Number seven woman with the world's are just mouth? Okay?
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Do you put like six six cuballs in there or something?
Woman with the world's largest nothing. What woman with the
world's largest tongue is number five? Size of a cow tongue?
Tell you what I kissed her? Wants to change my life?
There we are a woman with the world's largest mouth. Again,
(25:37):
how is that in a different place?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
All right? Google?
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Now, wonder chat GPT is ruining you. Number two Woman
with the world's largest breast dim plant?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Knew that was coming, didn't we have, yep, we did.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
What was her?
Speaker 3 (25:50):
So?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
She claimed it was Chelsea Charms.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
She believed she had the world's largest breast Katie she
was in studio. They were freakishly large. Oh once again,
though beautiful woman. Yeah, yeah, like it would have been naturally,
but with these cartoonish ridiculous I mean, what the hell
was going on there? I'm seeing them.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Yeah, she was a sweet girl with serious daddy issues
and some fairly significant mental health issues who was making
a fair amount of money off people with a bizarre
fetish for inhumanely large breasts.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
It was just ultimately just kind of sad.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
So a mentally ild person making money off of other
people are mentally ill. Because if you want, if that
turns you on, since no human being has those, you're
mentally ill. The way they look, I'm putting I'm going
past that number. Are we with the lip lady or
the breast lady? Breasts?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Okay? All right, we moved on.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
The pain.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
I mean, that's physical pain she's putting herself in. There's
no way her back's okay or any of that, You
know what I mean. It's there's more than just the boobs.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Sure, sure, yeah, So then cheering around a sack of
mental and it was to advertise her appearance at a club.
So then she's going to go to a club and
a bunch of mentally ill dudes were going to show
up an oogler and she was going to make money
off of that and then travel on to the next
town and do it again. Nice Michael, do you still
have that?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
This is Chelsea Charms. My two favorite boobs are armstrong
and geddy. Yeah, it's clever.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Do you get it?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
We're clever back then?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Practically Shakespeare. Actually, Shakespeare's full of dirty jokes.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
So did you get to number one? Number two was breast?
Or number one was breast?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Number one was lips because of the store?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Number one because of this lady.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, so I see, Uh. I won't mention, well he
does it online. Tim Sanderfer regularly has tweets about fat acceptance,
Not just like you overweight acceptance, which we all should
have since we're, you know, most of us overweight, but
(28:05):
the acceptance of like morbidly dangerous to your health weight
and acting like that's cool and thumbs up to everything?
Why empowering? Why how did we get this way? Just
tolerance gonn awry.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Yeah, yeah, I think that's it, in a misplaced desire
to not hurt the feelings of people who don't deserve
to be hurt, not understanding that the hurt feelings is
the other side of the coin of awareness of the
dangerousness of the condition.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
It's impossible to do the one without the other, And
so the soft hearted and soft headed among us say, well,
then don't deliver the message at all.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Although being overweight as a misguide, overweight can be complicated.
There's all kinds of things that can be involved in that.
Having your giant lips pumped full of non organic material,
that's just flat out you're insane and it should be
called out. Yeah. Yeah, How do you find a doctor
(29:15):
that would do that? How are those doctors not immediately
disbarred or have their license taken away? Whatever you do?
I mean, how does that not happen immediately? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
We're at a non place in society. I have a
friend who has a physician wife. In her spare time,
she does the cosmetic little injections and stuff like that.
The treatments are all familiar with from votox slip fillers whatever.
She makes more money a few hours a week doing
(29:48):
that stuff than she does in her legitimate Really.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yeah, I just got it. Reminds me. Just got a
place opened up near my where I live. It does
all kinds of that sort of stuff, And I was wondering,
since it's so close and handy to me, if there's
anything I could do that would make me look better. Botox?
I don't know what would I botox? What are most
people botox?
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Wherever you want forehead crow like crows feet around your eyes.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
I don't worry about that much. Maybe I get some
of their other stuff done. Laser hair removal.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Go ahead if you want about a caffein plant. I
don't think the collagen get collagen injections in your lips?
Do they actually stick a needle in your lips? They do?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
There's no way I'm doing that. Then. I don't see
how bigger lips help my wife.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Oh you know, I'm I am fascinated to buy the
the phenomenon. It's similar to like if you're anorexic uh,
some woman usually who's been reduced to looking like she's starving,
but still sees a fat person in the mirror. I
(31:03):
wonder if there's some connected syndrome with the you just
can't stop getting your lips puffier and puffy.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Oh, it's got to be you look in the mirror
and you think, mine, my lips look too small. Today
I was wondering. I was actually wondering to that with
the person I was talking about earlier, the very attractive
person that was doing this, like, I think you've like
lost the thread here somewhere. It's like the tan people
that are just way too tan and must think I'm
starting to look pale because you're like, you look like
(31:29):
a freaking well once again catchers men? Why do I
compare everything to a catcher's man?
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I don't know. Do you have a bad experience behind
the plate to talk about it?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
We will finish strong next, are strong? Where did that happen?
(32:05):
We'll sit down. Guy yelling I'm going to bomb the plane,
Death to America, Death to Trump. Oh awkbar. Somebody yells
out on the plane. I think, uh, it's over.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
A bendor. How about I beat your head in while
we're waiting for the plane to go down.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
That's not a good one. Where did that happen? Anybody
know who got it that clip. Nobody knows. It's a secret.
All right, we'll move on that. Too many plane stories.
I can't tell if things are actually getting out of
hand or if it's just Nope, it's just the hot thing.
That plane story.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
Yep, anytime a plane blows a tire on the tarmac
and has to go back to the gate. ABC News,
NBC News report on it live breathlessly. The shots of
tire were everywhere.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Jim May interview a passenger who was scared.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Yeah, there was a loud popping sound. I didn't know
what it was.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
There was a plane that dropped five hundred feet suddenly
the other day to avoid crashing into another plane, and
some people weren't strapped in yet or whatever it is,
right at takeoff, and bunches of people slammed their head
against the ceiling. It dropped so fast that would suck.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
I'd say, yeah, I don't think my neck can take
that sort of blow at my advanced age.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Well, and somebody I know is in a situation like
that one time. The thing you don't think about is
people's laptops. So those heavy MacBooks or whatever flying around too.
Hit in the head with one of those wouldn't be
any any treat.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Final thought.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah, here's your hose for final thoughts, Joe Getty, Let's
get a.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap things
up for the day. Wouldn't that be delightful. Let's begin
with our technical director, Michaelangelo. Michael final thought.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, guys, hands to what to Tijuana and gave me
some lip filler. I probably shouldn't have done this overdid it?
Speaker 4 (33:59):
So?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Somebody just tell my wife? Oh no, oh terrible k
excellent impersonation of a guy with two big lips, well rendered, sir, Yes,
Katie Green are esteemed US woman.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
As a final thought, Katie, Oh, let's talk of plans
reminded me a guy with like an obnoxiously oversized backpack
turned and.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Just totally cracked me with it while I was sitting
in the aisle. Oh yeah, on my way home. Yeah,
you gotta be aware where.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Your backpack is, know your backpack parameters, Jack. Final thought for.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Us, there's winners and losers in climate change. Sure, half
the country's under a heat dome or whatever they're calling
that thing, life threatening heat dome. The other half of
the country is having unusually cool weather, and I live
in that half and it's been awesome. Oh gosh.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
My final slought? Do I have a final slought?
Speaker 4 (34:44):
My final thought is, I'm looking forward to today's One
More Thing podcast. We're going to talk about a study
of couples that shows honesty. It's very, very important in
a relationship, even if it's hurtful and leaves you bet
her off.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Wow, I want to hear about that. I'm interested in
some examples of what you mean by that. Armstrong you
Getty wrapping up an other grueling four hour workday, so.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
Many people, thanks so little time. Good Armstrong you getty
dot com for the hot links for Katie's corner. Pick
up some A and g swag helps to keep everybody
on the payroll. Drop us note there's something we ought
to be talking about mail bag at Armstrong you getty
dot com.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
We will see tomorrow. God but less America. Another broastday
hasn't so much cool ground from the Bursten for a loose.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
That big lip freak.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
At fir Ground. There was a miss God explaining bull fights.
Explain among fight in our President, Saycott with more insights.
(36:10):
Fucking Getty, sepo famite sucking candy sep oh get the
armstrong and getty sh
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Getty and he.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Armstrong and Eddy.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
We've had discussions. You and I have had discussions. We
thought we had that settled numerous times. And then President
Putin goes out and starts launching rockets into some city
like Kief and kills a lot of people in a
nursing home or whatever. You have bodies lying all over
the street. And I say, that's not the way to
do it. So we'll see what happens with that. Are
(00:45):
very disappointed. I'm disappointed, and President Putin very disappointed at him.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
So we're gonna have to look and.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I'm going to reduce that fifty days that I gave
him to a lesser number because I think I already
know the answer. What's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Okay, thank you very much, everybody. Was he This is
one of the building most interesting stories on planet Earth.
I think the slow build to the United States being
pretty damned involved in this. And uh, I don't know
a lot of you who voted for Trump are not
(01:20):
going to dig it. But and whether this is whether
he's playing a game, or this is actually the way
his mind works. I don't have the slightest idea. I
find it very hard to believe that a guy, if
nothing else, Trump's deal is, you know, reading people, making deals,
winning battles. You don't end up a billionaire real estate
(01:46):
developer by being that unaware of people's obvious personalities. It
just doesn't make sense to me. Now, like you misread
putin this badly.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, the best I can come up with is he
it doesn't understand fanaticism. He just can't comprehend it, whether
it's ideological fanaticism like Islama fascists, because he's made noises
like you know, he'll just appeal to the mulas in
Iran that they can have a great economy and some
(02:18):
profit and it'll be great.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
He can't understand anybody not just doing what's in their
best financial interest. Having anything, in short, having anything elevated
above your financial interest doesn't make sense to him.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
I believe that that's the only thing I can come
up with, because you know, your your introduction I think
is quite correct. We are heading toward seriously enhanced involvement
in a new turning of the you know, new pivot
point in Ukraine, and and Putin gets to say so,
who knows how he reacts?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Then where it goes from there, we'll get plenty of
chance to talk about that couple of things I wanted
to hit. I'm just going to go through like it's
from the weekend. Israel put out a Yeah, Israel put
out a story about Iran's supreme leader. I don't know
if this is true or not, but the Masad put
out a report that the Ayatola come and e sleeps
(03:18):
all day and when he's not asleep, he's high on
a variety of substances. Now, the Masad may have just
put that out to poke him and make the religious
Zella's hate him or something, or maybe true, very well,
could be true. He's really old, he's rarely seen. It
(03:38):
could be on medications that make him loopy or something
like that. Or is he like burning the gonge? Is
that what they're suggesting. Oh, they didn't mention a specific drug.
Several people have told me, have you seen it, Michael,
you've talked about it before, that that new Billy Joel
documentary is really good.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I haven't seen it yet, but I won't watch it.
A couple of people told me it's really good. Now,
did it just coincidentally come out at the same time
that he announced he's got a debilitating disease that will
keep him from being able to play again? Is it
just a coincidence? Probably? Wow, it's a hell of a
while to put.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Together a couple hour long documentary.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Hell of a promotion. But anyway, for wait a second
promotion of what the documentary? I feel like that's how I.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Began see I was looking at it backwards.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, the way I became aware of the documentary was
his disease. Uh.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Anyway, the second labeless section of the podcast, Jack claims
Billy Joel is faking a debilitating brain disease to promote
a documentary.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I am claiming that disgusting. The second part of Billy
Joel and So It Goes came out over the weekend,
and like I said, I've heard from people who really
really liked it. I hadn't heard this story before. Billy
Joel reveals how Elton John and their feud led him
to get sober. So do you remember when it was
Rocketman Meets the Piano Man that tour back in the day,
(05:06):
Elton and Billy Joel toured together, which I wish i'd
have seen, but I didn't. Yeah, they did that a
handful of times. Yeah, so successful. Well, apparently it ended because,
or at least one of the tours ended early because
Elton got fed up with Billy either having to cancel
shows or not showing up ready to play or whatever
because he was drinking too much, and Elton called him
(05:29):
out on that in a Rolling Stone interview that really
pissed off Billy Joel. How dare you you know? Air
dirty laundry to Rolling Stone about this or whatever? But
it led to Billy Joel deciding that, yeah, I'm out
of control. I need to get my act together, and
you went to Rehabit has been sober ever since, according
to Billy Joel. So that's kind of interesting. Elton's love
(05:55):
truth Jack truth matters Elton who looks like an old lesbian?
True true fact?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Mmm fact check, Elton John does look like an old Lesbian's.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
No getting around that. What was the other thing I
wanted to get on? Oh and this is just dumb,
So my son was having I've been testing GROC and
chat GPT with various questions so far chat GPT is
getting the better of grock. Maybe I'm not using it
for the right things, But my son was complaining of
(06:31):
a pain that he's got underneath his lower right rib
cage that's been persistent for several days. And my son
is quite stoic about this sort of stuff. So anyway,
we're at breakfast yesterday and so I chat GPT it,
which is always a good idea if you have any
ailment whatsoever, just ask the Internet. You're you're sure to
get good advice and not make you freak out at all.
(06:51):
But anyway, the leading suggestion from chat GBT was something
called intercostal muscle strain or slipping rib syndrome, which we
got a big laugh out of that. Hold still, oh
my god, slipping rib syndrome srs. Yeah, of course you
don't want to have that. The most likely thing is
(07:12):
a kidney stone, which my son would rather, he said,
I'd rather step in front of a train than pass
a kidney stone from what I've heard about it. But uh,
slipping rib syndrome. Are you familiar with this? Fighting around
on you? I don't know. I want that.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Well. Back in the day, it'd probably take a visit
to seven different doctors to get that diagnosis, but these
days they hit the artificial intelligence too, the docs do.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yeah. Yeah, I was listening to a podcast about AI
as I do a lot. I don't know if it's
just zeitgeist kind of comes in waves, but I feel
like the current zeitgeist wave is away from AI immediately
taking over the world and upending all of society and
(07:57):
more toward. It's been oversold, it's got all kinds of flaws.
If it happens someday, it ain't going to be soon.
So I just feel like there's more of a flow
that direction. Doesn't mean it's true at all. It might
just be a you know the thing we talk about,
Like a trend gets hot, then there has to be
a backlash to the trend, and then there's a backlash
(08:17):
to the backlash. That's just the way things go. It
might just be that with AI. But there's a lot
of AI crap out there.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Yeah, and we've gotten some really really interesting emails from
folks in the know, including I'm holding in my greasy
mets right now, a three pager including a bunch of
stuff from AI. Interestingly enough, from Bob, who had a
thirty year career in it and like sophisticated stuff. He
did not work at, you know, radio shack then Best
(08:50):
buy Man.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
How much did your career change from getting a screwdriver
to get a floppy disc out of something to whatever
was going on more recently?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Do you want to hear what he has to say?
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Absolutely, we could hit that a couple of really interesting perspectives. Plus,
I want to hear about the woman with the world's
largest lips or was it the world's largest woman with lips?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I can't remember. You've mentioned it several times.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
It was the former, not the latter. Us. Yes, and
I saw one a person similar to that over the weekend.
And what my sun said will shock you, actually won't
if you have ever listened to the show. We got
a lot on the way stay here, I shot.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
The high tech. Cinephiles at Imax are having a banner year.
So far, a record eight films unleashed on the box
office have been filmed for Imax and released in Imax theaters,
bringing in a seven hundred million dollar global haul, with
one point two billion projected for the whole year. And
for your film fanatics, I love the experience. There are
seven more movies that were filmed with Imax coming out
(09:51):
this year. That's almost double what came out in twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Way more movies filmed to be aired at Imax. I've
never seen a regular movie at I've only seen you know,
like space or underwater or various things like that. I've
never seen a regular movie. I don't know what it'd
be like.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, it seems to me.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I saw one of the was it the last series
of Star Wars movies?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I can't remember something like that, but it was years ago, you, Katie.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I think I think it was this.
Speaker 6 (10:18):
I think it was the Star Wars movie thing too,
And I just remember my neck was killing me.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I was actually wondering that is it too much to
like looking around everywhere? Is it work?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I remember it being a little overwhelming, but I haven't
really been back.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's probably improved, I would imagine.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, almost certainly. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Anyway, speaking of looking at screens, we were talking about
AI as we often are, and I mentioned we've received
several just terrific emails from folks in the know, including
JT and Livermore says we have to stop and this
is one of the great difficult to pronounced words in
the English language anthrow pomorphosizing llm ais.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I large language model. I love that word in the concept.
I would use it more often if I could say.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
It anthro pomorphosizing, anthropomorphosizing, anthropomorphosizing, So like, sometimes when I
have to introduce somebody with like incredibly difficult name to pronounce,
I'll try. I'll practice it several times before we go
on the air. Anthropomorphosizing anyway, that's turning something that's not
human into a human. It's like every Disney cartoon ever
made with talking beasts. That is the aforementioned anthropomorphosizing anyway.
(11:33):
He as part of the problem in dealing with all
the things AI relating is that the language we use
is not really a precise or accurate portrayal of what
an lm AI is really doing to perform its functions.
Even the name is a mixed characterization. To be an
artificial intelligence implies that it has some kind of intelligence.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It does not. It has zero intelligence. It is an.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Incredibly complicated statistical handling algorithm. For example, the l LMAI
here after referred to as AI thank you, does not
understand that two plus two is four equals four. But
given that it has access to billions of bits of
information related to two plus two equals four, it is
a virtual statistical lock that the AI will correctly present
(12:16):
you with the correct answer. But if you ask it
to prove the two plus two equals five, you're looking
at a statistically low probability request. It might offer a hallucination.
That hallucination will be the most likely statistically based answer
that the algorithm can come up with. It isn't trying
to lie, It isn't trying to cheat. In fact, even
that term hallucination is prejudicial. It's not capable really of
(12:40):
making something up. Because, as I said, it is just
one giant, super complicated statistical analysis algorithm.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
It is difficult to break out of the idea of
treating it like it's alive. Mentally, it's hard to do,
and it's designed to try to pretend it's alive. I
mean at Grock especially, I know when if you ask
rocket question, will say, that's a good question. Here's what
I found out. You know, why did the why did
the why did an algorithm just say to me, that's
(13:08):
a good question, Like it's a person.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Yeah, I wish I knew anyway, and then JT is
a charming PS. Sorry, sometimes I think I have a
really great point and I'll be able to explain it
really well, and it just doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Still, I'll be people if happy if people realize that
AIS are not intelligent in any way, much like a
trans woman, llms are trans intelligent.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
AI fake intelligent.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Who didn't need to take a shot at the trans
community in this explanation? Did we do they actually have
a community? Where do they hang out? Anyway?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Eh? What AI is and is not? From Bob? That
was the aforementioned Bob. We had a thirty year career
in it. He says, I spent the last three weeks
deep into leveraging my professional and technical background to learning AI,
what it is, where it lives, what it takes to
run it in summary, because he just retired lllms. More specifically,
(14:06):
it's neural network is modeled after the human brain. It
does not hold all facts. It's not an allnoying oracle.
It's more akin to a very well read person with
knowledge in all fields. Think of a man that's read
and observed one hundred thousand books. He knows ideas conveying
those books and make in many cases specific facts. He
does not know what specific page number contained each fact,
though if prompted he can get to the book and
(14:27):
locate the fact information. Yeah, I'll skip that part. Unlike humans,
the LM's knowledge stops when it's finished training. That's not
to say it won't give current answers. One has to
qualify the question.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Asked. Then he gets.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Into a whole bunch of things that canon cannot do.
And how do we use it effectively? And we've had
other emails on this. Ask clear specific questions, follow up
for deeper reasoning or math, requests sources, or ask for
web search when facts matter. Used to explore, explain, or clarify,
(15:09):
not to make final decisions. Always verify legal, medical, financial,
or policy critical advice. I actually got some really good
medical advice over the weekend from chat GPH.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, and I'll tell you I've had this experience a
half dozen times at least of something that like you
would ask a therapist about dealing with an emotional family
relationship sort of thing, and the answers have been amazing,
like better than maybe any therapists I've ever talked to,
And like Wow, that makes great sense. Yeah, just stunning.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Yeah, and then it'll ask you you want me to
go into more detail on any one of those points,
let me know. And yeah, I had a similar experience
and it came up with examples and quotes that may
may not be legit, I don't know, from very famous.
In this case, it was athletes talking about stuff, and
(16:03):
it was enormously helpful.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Meanwhile, here's a longtime fan.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Ian h. I've been uh long time writing to you here.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
I'm worried that the race to AGI artificial general intelligence
presents the greatest threat to our life, liberty, and pursuit
of happiness. Well, we have no time, really even to
summarize this, but if we don't slow down this race,
I believe there will be dire consequences for humanity.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Uh, certainly, there's no slowing it down, though that first
part is undoable. Even if we did. The Chinese aren't.
So Yeah, here's here's a reenactment of what we're about
to talk about, a manual. Donald Politico has an interesting
(16:54):
story today about how world leaders call him up on
his cell phone on a regular basis and they just
have regularly bro conversations, which is kind of interesting, really
in a way that has never happened before, that among
all the things, stay with us, Armstrong and getty. Yeah,
(17:15):
I'd say ten to twelve days.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I'll announce it probably tonight or tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
But there's no reason to wait. If you know what
the answer is going to be. Why wait. So that's
a follow up to something Trump said earlier today when
ask about the fifty day pause with Russia, and he said,
there's no I'm not giving him the whole fifty days.
There's no indication from Putin that he's interested in a deal.
(17:40):
And then he just said they're ten to twelve days,
quite a speeded up timetable. And then the brutal sanctions hit.
They'll hit Russia, but I mean they hit some of
our allies like India, and you'll get punished.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Hard for trying to woo them to become a bigger
ally to help counter China.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Indian and Brazil will get hit hard for buying, for instance,
oil from Russia. So I'm interesting to see geopolitically how
that all plays out and what Putin's reaction to it is.
So the story in Politico Today and Politico they aren't
big fans of Trump, obviously, but in an article today
with some favorable Trump stuff about how Trump is incredibly unique,
(18:27):
could just stop the sentence there among presidents in the
way he just gives everybody his cell phone number. So
all world leaders, he said, you know, don't go through
the State Department or all that. Just here, here's my number.
Call me whenever you want or text, and they do.
And it has a list here of leaders like French
President Emmanuel Macron, Saudi Crown Prince Muhammed bin Sulman, Prime
(18:50):
Minister of Britain, Care Starmer, and others who just text
him or call him on his cell phone wherever they want,
and he talks to him. And the interesting thing that
Politico does, since they are mostly a Trump ainting outfit,
is how they say this has really helped his relationship
with a variety of leaders around the world, and how
(19:10):
they have much better communication and it has led to
some good outcomes.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Yeah, I can absolutely see the advantage of it. I
see the advantage of the other way too, But yeah,
I mean, especially given Trump's tendency to speak off the
cough and maybe make stronger pronouncements than we're used to
from presidents I could see, you know, the ability to
jump on the phone and instead of, you know, weeks
later after diplomatic efforts and lower level contacts, Hey, you
(19:37):
call them up and say it. That's stuff you said
about Ukraine?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Did you mean that?
Speaker 7 (19:42):
Or what?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
What's what are you thinking?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
It just straightens it out right. One person familiar with
one of President's conversations with Emmanuel McCrone, the leader of France,
recalled the two leaders browing it out as they greeted
one another. It was oddly amusing. Trump would say a
manual and draw out the L when he answered the phone,
and then and then Macrone would say Donald and draw
(20:08):
out the D. And it sort of went back and
forth like that.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
What was that?
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Wasn't there a famous Super Bowl commercial with uh, Well
they were all shouting the same greeting that was years ago.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
What's uh?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
What's up? Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Foreign officials credit their ability to adapt to Trump's free
willing style to improved personal relationships. What they say is
leading to more favorable outcomes. And for Politico to say
that is something.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Yeah, well, he's such a different guy in such a
different president. I mean, it makes perfect sense that the
communications would flow differently.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
When European officials said there's less friction and more alignment.
In some cases, some of that as a result of
a lot of leaders being more hands on with Trump
and yes, more solous solicitous uh, soliciting him in private
and leading to outcome that have been good, like the
whole NATO thing, and them being more on board with
(21:06):
trying to help out. They Politico anyway credits it to
this ability to people text and call and keep the
conversation going thing that Trump does.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Yeah, there are probably examples in life where less communication
is better.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I can actually think of a few people.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
But generally speaking, if you want to get something done,
more communications better.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I got to believe in this case almost all the time,
more communication is better, and the old style of it
has to go through the state department and perhaps a
think tank to determine how to respond. It takes six weeks. Uh,
not the best way to do it. Okay, that's enough
of that. I've been promising this for hours. I got
a picture to show Katie and Joe and Michael so
(21:51):
everybody could see the woman with the world's largest lips.
First of all, your reaction plastic surgery, used to.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Not be willing to do things for mentally ill people.
She is known as a woman with the world's largest lips.
Here's what she looked like before all.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Her surgeries, and there was a picture of a normal woman,
and she now has lips that look like she's got
a catcher's bit attached to her face.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
To call them clownish would be a disservice to clowns
and their time honored profession.
Speaker 7 (22:24):
That is a legitimate pool in her tube on her face. Yes, yeah,
so if she fell off a boat, she could float
by her lips. Kepst aloft to float by her lips.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
So we saw somebody not to that extent, but close
enough at the state Fair, California State Fair on Friday.
They were just walking in when we were walking out.
A woman who looked to be about fifty, who had
all kinds of stuff going on with her face. She
had the really squinty eyes and high cheek bones from
getting her face sucked back in all these different things.
(22:57):
But she had the ginormous catchers mint lips going. My
son said to me after we passed them, Dad, I
got three questions, why, why? And finally why? But uh,
and she had a husband with her. And to Joe's point,
when did we decide to not call out mental illness,
(23:21):
whether it's her husband or her friends or coworkers or whatever.
And I don't know. I feel like if you had
done that thirty years ago, certainly fifty years ago, a
whole bunch of people would have intervened and said, what
the ef are you doing?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Yeah, well yeah, And I use think you have to
do with my oft mentioned principle that if it was
just people you interacted with in real life, you would
be quickly informed that this is a bad idea. Whereas
you can find somebody to support any idiocy on the internet.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I don't know, I don't know, I know somebody. I'm
gonna be very vague because this is one of the
nicest people I've ever met, beautiful, beautiful, young human being
who would get their lips done on a regular basis,
and they would show up after getting their lips done.
It's like, what are you doing? Oh boy, why who's
(24:19):
that for? And you know, nobody's ever gonna say anything.
Should somebody say something, I might, i'd be pretty coo.
Well yeah, is it or isn't it?
Speaker 4 (24:29):
I actually have another fascinating study about how incredibly important
honesty is in relationship, even if it's a little hurtful.
Don't really have time for that to be honest? More significantly,
if you because I was looking for pictures of our
pre surgery. If you type into your search bar woman
with the world's lar here are the autofills, counting down
(24:53):
to number one from number What is this about eight?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Woman with the world's largest feet. I wasn't expecting that one.
Did you click on that for how large are they?
Was she just born with large feet? Or is she
getting like silicone pumped into her feet?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I think she just has very large feet.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Number seven woman with the world's are just mouth? Okay?
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Do you put like six six cuballs in there or something?
Woman with the world's largest nothing. What woman with the
world's largest tongue is number five? Size of a cow tongue?
Tell you what I kissed her? Wants to change my life?
There we are a woman with the world's largest mouth. Again,
(25:37):
how is that in a different place?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
All right? Google?
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Now, wonder chat GPT is ruining you. Number two Woman
with the world's largest breast dim plant?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Knew that was coming, didn't we have, yep, we did.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
What was her?
Speaker 3 (25:50):
So?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
She claimed it was Chelsea Charms.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
She believed she had the world's largest breast Katie she
was in studio. They were freakishly large. Oh once again,
though beautiful woman. Yeah, yeah, like it would have been naturally,
but with these cartoonish ridiculous I mean, what the hell
was going on there? I'm seeing them.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Yeah, she was a sweet girl with serious daddy issues
and some fairly significant mental health issues who was making
a fair amount of money off people with a bizarre
fetish for inhumanely large breasts.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
It was just ultimately just kind of sad.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
So a mentally ild person making money off of other
people are mentally ill. Because if you want, if that
turns you on, since no human being has those, you're
mentally ill. The way they look, I'm putting I'm going
past that number. Are we with the lip lady or
the breast lady? Breasts?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Okay? All right, we moved on.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
The pain.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
I mean, that's physical pain she's putting herself in. There's
no way her back's okay or any of that, You
know what I mean. It's there's more than just the boobs.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Sure, sure, yeah, So then cheering around a sack of
mental and it was to advertise her appearance at a club.
So then she's going to go to a club and
a bunch of mentally ill dudes were going to show
up an oogler and she was going to make money
off of that and then travel on to the next
town and do it again. Nice Michael, do you still
have that?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
This is Chelsea Charms. My two favorite boobs are armstrong
and geddy. Yeah, it's clever.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Do you get it?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
We're clever back then?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Practically Shakespeare. Actually, Shakespeare's full of dirty jokes.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
So did you get to number one? Number two was breast?
Or number one was breast?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Number one was lips because of the store?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Number one because of this lady.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, so I see, Uh. I won't mention, well he
does it online. Tim Sanderfer regularly has tweets about fat acceptance,
Not just like you overweight acceptance, which we all should
have since we're, you know, most of us overweight, but
(28:05):
the acceptance of like morbidly dangerous to your health weight
and acting like that's cool and thumbs up to everything?
Why empowering? Why how did we get this way? Just
tolerance gonn awry.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Yeah, yeah, I think that's it, in a misplaced desire
to not hurt the feelings of people who don't deserve
to be hurt, not understanding that the hurt feelings is
the other side of the coin of awareness of the
dangerousness of the condition.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
It's impossible to do the one without the other, And
so the soft hearted and soft headed among us say, well,
then don't deliver the message at all.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Although being overweight as a misguide, overweight can be complicated.
There's all kinds of things that can be involved in that.
Having your giant lips pumped full of non organic material,
that's just flat out you're insane and it should be
called out. Yeah. Yeah, How do you find a doctor
(29:15):
that would do that? How are those doctors not immediately
disbarred or have their license taken away? Whatever you do?
I mean, how does that not happen immediately? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
We're at a non place in society. I have a
friend who has a physician wife. In her spare time,
she does the cosmetic little injections and stuff like that.
The treatments are all familiar with from votox slip fillers whatever.
She makes more money a few hours a week doing
(29:48):
that stuff than she does in her legitimate Really.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yeah, I just got it. Reminds me. Just got a
place opened up near my where I live. It does
all kinds of that sort of stuff, And I was wondering,
since it's so close and handy to me, if there's
anything I could do that would make me look better. Botox?
I don't know what would I botox? What are most
people botox?
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Wherever you want forehead crow like crows feet around your eyes.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
I don't worry about that much. Maybe I get some
of their other stuff done. Laser hair removal.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Go ahead if you want about a caffein plant. I
don't think the collagen get collagen injections in your lips?
Do they actually stick a needle in your lips? They do?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
There's no way I'm doing that. Then. I don't see
how bigger lips help my wife.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Oh you know, I'm I am fascinated to buy the
the phenomenon. It's similar to like if you're anorexic uh,
some woman usually who's been reduced to looking like she's starving,
but still sees a fat person in the mirror. I
(31:03):
wonder if there's some connected syndrome with the you just
can't stop getting your lips puffier and puffy.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Oh, it's got to be you look in the mirror
and you think, mine, my lips look too small. Today
I was wondering. I was actually wondering to that with
the person I was talking about earlier, the very attractive
person that was doing this, like, I think you've like
lost the thread here somewhere. It's like the tan people
that are just way too tan and must think I'm
starting to look pale because you're like, you look like
(31:29):
a freaking well once again catchers men? Why do I
compare everything to a catcher's man?
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I don't know. Do you have a bad experience behind
the plate to talk about it?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
We will finish strong next, are strong? Where did that happen?
(32:05):
We'll sit down. Guy yelling I'm going to bomb the plane,
Death to America, Death to Trump. Oh awkbar. Somebody yells
out on the plane. I think, uh, it's over.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
A bendor. How about I beat your head in while
we're waiting for the plane to go down.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
That's not a good one. Where did that happen? Anybody
know who got it that clip. Nobody knows. It's a secret.
All right, we'll move on that. Too many plane stories.
I can't tell if things are actually getting out of
hand or if it's just Nope, it's just the hot thing.
That plane story.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
Yep, anytime a plane blows a tire on the tarmac
and has to go back to the gate. ABC News,
NBC News report on it live breathlessly. The shots of
tire were everywhere.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Jim May interview a passenger who was scared.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Yeah, there was a loud popping sound. I didn't know
what it was.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
There was a plane that dropped five hundred feet suddenly
the other day to avoid crashing into another plane, and
some people weren't strapped in yet or whatever it is,
right at takeoff, and bunches of people slammed their head
against the ceiling. It dropped so fast that would suck.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
I'd say, yeah, I don't think my neck can take
that sort of blow at my advanced age.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Well, and somebody I know is in a situation like
that one time. The thing you don't think about is
people's laptops. So those heavy MacBooks or whatever flying around too.
Hit in the head with one of those wouldn't be
any any treat.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Final thought.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah, here's your hose for final thoughts, Joe Getty, Let's
get a.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap things
up for the day. Wouldn't that be delightful. Let's begin
with our technical director, Michaelangelo. Michael final thought.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, guys, hands to what to Tijuana and gave me
some lip filler. I probably shouldn't have done this overdid it?
Speaker 4 (33:59):
So?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Somebody just tell my wife? Oh no, oh terrible k
excellent impersonation of a guy with two big lips, well rendered, sir, Yes,
Katie Green are esteemed US woman.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
As a final thought, Katie, Oh, let's talk of plans

turned and.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Just totally cracked me with it while I was sitting
in the aisle. Oh yeah, on my way home. Yeah,
you gotta be aware where.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Your backpack is, know your backpack parameters, Jack. Final thought for.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Us, there's winners and losers in climate change. Sure, half
the country's under a heat dome or whatever they're calling
that thing, life threatening heat dome. The other half of
the country is having unusually cool weather, and I live
in that half and it's been awesome. Oh gosh.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
My final slought? Do I have a final slought?
Speaker 4 (34:44):
My final thought is, I'm looking forward to today's One
More Thing podcast. We're going to talk about a study
of couples that shows honesty. It's very, very important in
a relationship, even if it's hurtful and leaves you bet
her off.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Wow, I want to hear about that. I'm interested in
some examples of what you mean by that. Armstrong you
