to Ear Biscuits, the podcast where two

0:41

lifelong friends talk about life for a

0:43

long time. I'm Rhett. And

0:45

I'm Link. This week at the round

0:47

table of dim lighting. I

0:50

don't want to say that you're

0:53

going to learn something because I don't want you to

0:55

think this is going to be educational. Well,

0:58

I think you're just, Link, you're

1:00

not, there are people, in fact, I would say most people

1:02

who do want to learn things. Oh, really? Yeah,

1:05

yeah, yeah. I don't, I'm just over

1:07

it. Yeah, well, I've noticed. I know that I

1:09

said that I was over like the spiritual stuff.

1:12

Maybe it's just because I'm over everything. Like

1:15

learning. I think most people like

1:17

to like. I'm a curious guy. I mean, maybe

1:19

not go back to school, but. I

1:21

learned some stuff and

1:24

because I kind of went down

1:26

this rabbit hole of curiosity called

1:28

a Reddit thread. Okay. And

1:33

it was common

1:35

misconceptions debunked by

1:37

people who are in

1:39

the know and severely

1:41

irritated by the fact

1:44

that the misconceptions are perpetuated. So,

1:47

today, I'm going to take

1:49

you through the highlights

1:51

that I found from this

1:54

common misconception Reddit thread,

1:57

just to see if I can blow

1:59

your mind. or change your ways,

2:01

or learn you a little bit. You think I

2:03

suffer from falling for most

2:06

misconceptions? No, no, no, I think you know

2:08

it all. Okay,

2:11

well we'll put that to the test. So it

2:13

can be putting that to the test too. First

2:16

I got a couple of things that if

2:19

you'll bear with me, I do want

2:21

to bring to the table that I

2:23

think will improve

2:25

people's lives in

2:28

their body. Well I'm excited for

2:30

that. Not just their brain. Because I will say,

2:32

I just got back from a very long

2:35

meeting, and

2:37

it's the same meeting that you're

2:39

going to have to have probably

2:42

next week. Yeah, you're talking about...

2:44

Basically we have the same... A financial planning meeting. The

2:46

same people who do things for us, but this was like

2:48

me and Jesse meeting with them, and you and

2:50

Chris, you're going to have to meet with them. And it was,

2:53

I mean, it was as wonderful as a financial planning meeting

2:55

can be. You look like a shell of

2:57

a man. Meaning that I'm really

2:59

hoping that you've got some stuff to perk me

3:01

up. Now I did put some Diet

3:03

Dr. Pepper. This is my third caffeinated drink of

3:05

the day, which is... Oh, shit. I

3:08

usually have... I was having two, and then I

3:10

downgraded to one. And

3:12

now I'm... I've gone from one to

3:14

three. That was like your actual New Year's

3:16

resolution that you didn't tell anybody about, but

3:18

I started to notice you'd be like, declining

3:20

coffee? I was like,

3:22

what's happening here? Well, what was happening was

3:24

I was waking up at four

3:26

o'clock in the morning and I was trying... And

3:29

I kept going through things, trying to figure out what it was. And

3:31

by eliminating... The funny thing is, is eliminating

3:33

my second caffeinated drink, I don't know how

3:36

much it impacted it, but what I've noticed

3:38

is that if I

3:40

just eat more sugar, I stay asleep, which is

3:43

a real bad thing to realize. More

3:45

sugar makes you sleepy? Like

3:49

this weekend, three

3:51

nights in a row, I made the mistake

3:53

of having... Like I've got... I have

3:55

a little... I got some candy in my house, right? And

3:57

I'm usually really good at not eating the candy. But

4:01

Friday night, Saturday night, and yesterday,

4:03

I got into the candy. And

4:07

I hated myself while I was doing it.

4:09

My wife is like, you have such a... She's

4:11

like, you have such an unhealthy relationship with food

4:13

because every time you do something, you keep calling

4:15

yourself a bad boy. I'm

4:17

like, the bad boy is going in the cabinet now.

4:20

She's like, you gotta have more mercy on yourself. Or

4:23

at least just don't say it out loud. It doesn't

4:25

have to be a running commentary. Yeah, maybe I should

4:27

just think it. Bad

4:29

boy thinks he's going into the cabinet right now.

4:31

Now, if you... I mean, you could say it

4:33

like bad boy records. Like, you know, like, diddy

4:35

and 90. It's not anything to be proud of.

4:38

But it made you sleep better? I didn't wake

4:40

up at all. And it's just like, that can't

4:42

be good. No, because I feel like, shit! Today,

4:45

like, I was sitting in that meeting, and I

4:47

was like, man, don't ever eat that sugar again.

4:49

Because the thing is, is I can wake up

4:51

before a clock. Maybe it's just because I just

4:53

don't need to sleep that much. Well, no, it's

4:56

not. Are you sure that wasn't... That

4:59

what was happening wasn't that

5:01

you needed sugar in

5:03

the meeting? Uh... Why not

5:05

just eat more sugar in the meeting? No.

5:08

Sugar's not good for you, man. It's poison. No,

5:11

that you're confusing it with alcohol. Damn

5:14

alcohol. I had that too this weekend. You

5:17

had a big weekend. I had three... You

5:19

were a bad boy! The bad boy had

5:22

three hard kombucha on an

5:24

afternoon, which is highly unusual for

5:26

me. Highly unusual.

5:29

Three alcoholic beverages. But you

5:31

justify it. What is the bad boy doing? Because

5:33

the kombucha is good for the gut. Yeah,

5:35

probably not. Probably not these kombuchas.

5:38

Anyway... Bad

5:40

boy hurts. I don't know. I'm still experimenting with

5:43

myself, and I'll get back to you on how

5:45

I'm gonna sleep the night without just eating candy.

5:48

Uh, because I'm sure Huberman wouldn't

5:50

want me to do that. Don't

5:52

mention his name here. In

5:56

the future, I'm gonna go on Huberman, and I'm gonna... You're gonna be

5:58

a pod... podcast clip. You

6:01

need some, get this man some sugar. Of

6:03

me saying, well you know the thing that's really helped

6:05

me, Andrew, is just eating a

6:07

lot more candy. That's

6:11

what I found. Right. Everybody's always saying

6:13

some bullshit that's different than the next person

6:15

says. And my thing is candy. I

6:18

got gummy candy, I got licorice. I

6:20

took black licorice and dipped it in

6:22

peanut butter. I

6:24

mean, that's as bad as a boy can be. You

6:27

know what I'm saying? That's as bad as a boy can be. But

6:29

y'all should try that if you like those things. But

6:33

the sugar sleep discovery sounds like

6:35

the type of thing

6:37

that people be buzzing

6:39

about that. You

6:42

should. Really? Yeah, you should publish the study. The

6:46

problem is I feel like crap during the day, so I'm not gonna do

6:48

that. Because I didn't feel bad

6:50

when I was waking up at four o'clock. I just wasn't

6:53

sleeping as much as my ring told me I needed to.

6:55

Okay. But now you're sleeping a lot and you're feeling bad.

6:58

I wonder if I could get the feedback from my aura ring

7:00

to say whether or not I was a good boy

7:02

or a bad boy last night. I bet

7:04

you I could get chat GPT. Is he a score? I

7:07

bet you if I knew how to do things on the computer and

7:10

to do apps and stuff. You could alter your sleep

7:13

score. I don't wanna be like. Good boy, bad boy?

7:15

Yeah, yeah, be like, did you get a good boy

7:17

score or a bad boy score? I think Jessie's right.

7:19

It's just not the prop, it's shame framing. Oh yeah,

7:21

she is all over me every time. You don't need

7:23

to be shame frame. But

7:26

I'm so well motivated by shame. Like

7:28

it propelled me through my entire life and

7:31

I've gotten places. I had

7:33

a financial planning meeting today. Yeah, you did. Look

7:36

at you now. You're back here with

7:38

me. I discovered over

7:40

the weekend and I wanna share this

7:42

story because I think now it's gonna

7:45

change how I behave specifically

7:48

around dogs because

7:52

of what happened to a friend of ours and you

7:54

probably haven't heard this yet but our friend Ward got

7:57

bit by a dog over the

7:59

weekend. And it was not

8:02

minor, it was not pretty. So

8:04

he had been bitten when you saw him on Saturday

8:06

night? Yeah, he's like limping in. Oh,

8:09

it's a limp bite. So here's what happened. This is

8:11

at least an 80 pounder. We checked on him this

8:13

morning, he's okay. He's

8:16

recovering, he's not gonna lose the leg or anything.

8:19

So I don't, you know, there's a... Okay,

8:22

well I hope not. Well, I just

8:24

wanted to go ahead and tell you, he

8:26

is okay, so now I'm gonna tell the story.

8:28

If there was a chance he might lose his

8:30

leg, I doubt he would have showed up to

8:33

your DJ practice session on

8:35

Saturday night, that's all I'm saying. Well,

8:40

I don't agree with that. Okay. It

8:43

was important to him to be there. So

8:45

what happened? Did he give you permission

8:47

to tell his story? Just spinning some vinyl, having a great time?

8:49

No. He

8:51

did not give me permission, but... It was implied. I don't

8:53

think he would care. Yeah, he was implied. Cause

8:55

I... Permission implied. There's not

8:58

a lot of details, except that like,

9:00

he was driving... Is there gonna be a court case? He

9:02

was driving through a... No, he was driving through a neighborhood, I'm

9:04

telling this story wrong, but all

9:06

the details that matter, I'm gonna tell correctly. Good. He

9:10

sees a friend that he hasn't seen in

9:12

a while, so like he walks

9:14

up to the friend at the

9:16

front door and he's like, oh my God, I'm so

9:19

happy to see you, and he

9:21

like gives her a hug and

9:24

her dog's there. Okay. And he

9:26

gives her a hug, the dog

9:28

just like latches onto his upper thigh. Upper

9:30

thigh. Upper thigh. Did it jump to make

9:32

contact with her, or is this how big

9:35

the dog is? He said that the dog

9:37

was like this big, so it's like a

9:39

lab sized dog, is what I

9:42

took him to mean. Okay. And I

9:44

was like, did you curse this dog? Like what came

9:46

out of your mouth? And he was like, you

9:48

know when you're blindsided by

9:51

a dog bite, when you're in

9:53

an embrace, you know, he's

9:56

just like, ow. Oh,

10:01

that was his response

10:04

because it was his... You

10:06

don't wanna start hitting the person's dog right

10:08

in front of him. Right, and

10:11

you're like, oh, your dog is doing

10:13

something to me. Wow, it's hurting bad.

10:16

You know, kind of a thing. Did this friend

10:18

notice that it was helping? Yeah, and what did

10:20

she do? I'm sure she was embarrassed. No, but

10:22

what did she do? Did she start

10:24

hitting her own dog? I

10:27

didn't ask. How long was it

10:29

latched? I didn't

10:31

ask. Am I bad for... I asked, are you

10:33

okay? And I asked like, I

10:39

asked what pants you were wearing. He was like, these

10:41

pants. I was like, well, it can't be that bad

10:43

because you're still wearing the pants and there's no holes

10:45

in them. He was like, there's an entire... And

10:48

I was like, Christy

10:50

was like, how bad is it? I was like, she wants

10:53

to see it. I don't wanna see it. And

10:55

then, I don't know, Christy was at the DJ session? Yeah,

10:58

because Andy ended up coming. Oh,

11:01

okay, this is more than I thought it was gonna

11:03

be. Well, it turned into that, yeah. So, but

11:06

it was mainly, I'm doing... We

11:08

hear the dog story, I'm doing the practicing. I

11:12

told you, you may have invited eventually that

11:14

I was easing in the thing. Okay, okay. Apparently,

11:18

it's like, you

11:20

know, a big chomp down, like you could

11:22

tell that it's a dog

11:24

that is chomped down on the leg. What

11:27

do you mean, you saw it? I didn't see it,

11:29

that's what he described. Because he

11:31

would have to take his pants off to show you. Yeah,

11:33

and that wasn't that type of party. Okay, you

11:37

weren't playing the right music. I'm totally

11:39

the type of person that would walk

11:41

up to a friend whose dog was

11:43

beside them and give them a

11:45

hug if I hadn't seen him in a while.

11:47

I wouldn't think about the fact that like, well,

11:49

you never know exactly what a

11:52

dog will do. Now, I do know you

11:55

don't pet somebody's dog without asking

11:57

permission first. I've learned

11:59

that. Thank goodness

12:01

not the hard way, but this kind of

12:03

shook me up a little bit because you

12:05

know I Would say I don't want to

12:07

get ill unlikely. I don't give it my dog, but and

12:10

you know been Who

12:13

works here? He was like

12:15

being friendly with with a with a friend's

12:17

dog and The dog

12:19

bit him in the face You

12:22

know yeah, and and and

12:24

the owners don't seem to expect it

12:26

to happen either I

12:29

mean these aren't wild animals, but

12:31

like Not far from it Apparently

12:34

not as far from it I

12:36

have a renewed sense that I want

12:38

to pass along to you Dear

12:40

is your biscuit here to like be wary around a

12:42

dog you don't hug people in front of a dog

12:45

Is that what you're saying? Yeah? Yeah, don't hug people

12:47

12:49

15:50

area right next to the sidewalk. why I'm

15:57

was one of those retractable one season

15:59

and idea. Approach Moon Nason. I do

16:01

like a little light hello to her and

16:03

16:10

then the dogs just line stab

16:12

17:14

thing you're not gonna have. Never have. My

17:17

goodness, I would Never. Let. Somebody

17:19

I was annoyed that he didn't apologize. Again

17:23

as a big dog to feels as a

17:25

result of that gosh I well so I

17:27

think this is average. Don't exchange information would

17:30

people with your dog by somebody know be

17:32

care what like he produces around the i

17:34

think they are you a repeat offender on

17:36

as. A. Does is, I'm not trying to

17:38

blame you Jenna. I'm I adore it

17:40

was her fault Human eye out it was in

17:43

a do humans in a solid est insides you

17:45

want to see your eyes on Sin of the

17:47

Sin of Chance gone on all of a list

17:49

of actor yeah I don't over told the story

17:51

but. I think Jesse Mile Wise

17:54

has the. Best. Dog biting

17:56

story i wasn't present for about three

17:58

years. As best as. I can remember

18:00

her telling me. Back. North

18:02

Carolina. The.

18:04

Several years before we moved out here.

18:08

She. Was having.

18:11

Something made or fixed or something by

18:13

like a dude who does something at

18:15

his house lights off his shoe chair

18:17

of the like. that right? Yeah. Am.

18:21

Is one of those houses out in North Carolina

18:24

where somebody lives on some land in the have

18:26

be to like drive through two fields to get

18:28

to their house like you know somebody off of

18:30

the road quite a bit. Country

18:32

House and she dries up. And.

18:37

See. There's.

18:39

Like a. A. A.i

18:42

was a Dalmatian. A Dalmatian.

18:45

Which is a big. The Damage is a

18:48

big dog you talking about up the ones

18:50

that come in like sets of a hundred

18:52

and one? Yes. And they're on fire trucks.

18:54

Yeah, I mean they're images really been cleaned

18:56

up by that movie, but I've known quite

18:58

a few bad boy Dalmatians in my day.

19:01

A. Further, stupid ah, they're just. they're

19:04

they're They're big and the consequences

19:06

of their actions are more significant

19:08

than say, Sean, right? So. This.

19:12

Dot it's I think I river the

19:14

dog was barking and she was hesitant

19:16

to even get out of the car

19:18

and then like the guy was just

19:20

like way but er en like everything's

19:22

cool or whatever. And she

19:24

gets out of the car and the dog comes up and buy some

19:26

that as. A

19:29

speck of lazarus? A meme. Too

19:31

bitter? I don't that ass. And

19:34

she got and her car drove away. And.

19:36

Then she came home. And

19:38

she told me and I call the guy. And

19:42

it was robbed. All right. Nerf Reuters, What would

19:44

you know? I could barely understand a word that

19:46

he was saying, but he basically was not taking

19:48

responsibility for the dog. and

19:50

i don't know if we ever got the

19:53

same from him that we even needed it

19:55

was we didn't know we'd never like move

19:57

forward doing any any any motion But

20:00

she got bit on the ass by a dalmatian. And

20:03

then she went, she had to get a shot. A

20:06

preventative. Yeah, because

20:08

the teeth went in the ass. Yeah,

20:11

it did break this young. Sorry,

20:16

baby. Be careful around the dogs. Keep

20:18

your ass away, keep your thighs away. If

20:20

I had have been there, I would have stepped in. I

20:22

would have put my self between you

20:24

and that dog. Oh. You

20:28

would have done that. I would have dove. One

20:31

more thing that I wanna do to

20:33

make your life safer by making

20:36

your, I wanna close the loop

20:38

on this Uber driver

20:40

conversation that we had many weeks ago

20:43

by playing this one voicemail. Hi,

20:47

this is Dante from Cincinnati.

20:50

I am a part-time Uber driver. When

20:53

we get a rider,

20:55

we have to immediately

20:58

rate the rider after

21:00

we drop you off. You guys

21:03

who ride for Uber can

21:05

rate well after, as

21:08

well as tip well after. So as

21:10

a driver, I may get

21:12

a tip three or four days later like

21:14

Link was talking about, but I may have

21:16

rated that person low because they didn't give

21:18

me an immediate tip. Oh,

21:21

shit. That's

21:23

it. That's what explains my rating because

21:26

I always tip. And I tip aggressive.

21:29

You can tip before the ride is

21:31

over, I'm pretty sure. But

21:34

as the ride is ending, you need

21:36

to have a habit of

21:39

tipping. I'm always like, thanks, man.

21:43

And then I just do it when it reminds me. I

21:46

have no clue about this. Yeah, you got

21:48

to do that. I

21:50

think I'm gonna start saying, hey, man, thanks. I'm tipping

21:53

you right now. Oh, yeah, in order to get the

21:55

credit for the tip, you got to do the tip

21:58

immediately. I feel

22:00

like why you still at the table

22:02

service if any of the over a

22:04

development people are listening. Mine,

22:07

I just suggest a slight alteration to

22:09

your system. Know that

22:11

they're not losing him, that he hadn't come. then.

22:15

Then you should be other be like. Shall

22:17

I agree? evaluate? Would

22:19

you like to reevaluate your rating? You rated

22:21

this person or here's a here's his picture.

22:23

Here's a tip: I'm. I'm a that guy

22:26

was quiet so they didn't like me but he

22:28

just hits me. I like him. Now

22:30

I'm going to unify. Sars is kind of like. Yeah,

22:32

it's a cooling off period. Before you

22:35

rate. And then

22:37

that is so that I think that it

22:39

sat. On the for on the pro

22:41

side it's can like a movie you know, you

22:43

know movies. A really good movie when you get

22:45

out a movie theater and you don't. Know

22:48

what your opinion is? You. Might not

22:50

even like it within you. sleep on

22:52

it the next morning your what? you're

22:54

thinking about the movie and you realize

22:56

there was a good movie because I'm

22:58

sitting here thinking about things that the

23:00

movie made me think about. That's that's

23:02

a good test of a good movie.

23:04

You have a cooling off period to

23:06

reflect on it. of course, When.

23:09

It comes to goober riders, it

23:11

might start to put more pressure

23:13

to be memorable. But.

23:15

The tip I guess can cover that. I

23:17

have another idea for the Hoover Development people.

23:21

I think. There.

23:23

Should be a little thing as call it up and

23:25

when the guy does some good. He. Hit a

23:27

little thing and it makes a lot. Sitting in

23:30

a makes a little noise on your phone and

23:32

real time in real time and as as light

23:34

as you get given coins have loving way that

23:36

do Just did a really awesome turn. Ah

23:38

that was a super super smooth stop getting and

23:40

any here's he's in a bag you know talking

23:43

to that own thoughts. I'm in the back seat

23:45

as as I didn't make me and my bonuses

23:47

ding and like crazy and he knows he's killing

23:49

the hours because like a video game for him.

23:52

And audio video game didn't do any

23:54

audio engineer likes. Think about it because

23:56

we always talk about how we don't

23:58

like. We. Were. Both of

24:00

us, maybe more than any other people that I've

24:03

ever met, think

24:05

about the smoothness of the stopping and the taking

24:07

off. Yeah, I told Locke as

24:09

I was teaching him to drive, I was like, you

24:11

should be able to put a glass of wine on

24:13

the dash. First of all, don't put a glass of

24:15

wine on your dash. Ever. That's a horrible

24:17

idea. But theoretically, you should be able to

24:19

put a glass, a stemmed glass

24:22

of wine on your dash and

24:24

come to a stop and take off. That's how smooth

24:26

you should be. I think- Why

24:30

don't you just start doing this verbally? Ooh,

24:33

I like that turn. That was

24:35

a good acceleration, sir. Yeah,

24:37

you could even add the ding, ding, ding. I'll

24:39

just make the noises until Uber updates. Right, just

24:41

see. So

24:44

what's wrong with you? I am giving

24:46

you- I'm giving you something. Feedback on

24:48

how awesome you are in a

24:51

granular way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I

24:53

wanna remind you that we have a

28:03

Um, are you ready to,

28:05

uh, I mean, do you feel

28:08

you can approach dogs differently? I just want to know

28:10

that what I've done is sharing that story has made

28:12

a difference. I

28:15

feel like I might have been on the ass and you didn't change

28:17

anything. No, no. I'm,

28:19

well, first of all, I'm significantly more

28:21

cautious than you in everything. And

28:23

so I'm already more cautious than you in the way

28:25

that I interact with dogs. So this is a wake

28:27

up call from me. And I also don't, usually don't

28:30

hug people unless they make the

28:32

first move. Typically.

28:34

Okay. I'm a little bit scary. Have you seen

28:37

me? I

28:39

know this is audio only, but you can see me, right? There

28:43

is a video version. Oh yeah, that's right. I'm kind of

28:45

scared. Yes, I do see you. Yeah,

28:48

yeah. So. Okay. Well,

28:50

everything that I'm going to share with you. I don't hug dogs. I

28:52

don't hug dogs. Unless they hug me. Unless

28:54

they hug me first. Everything I'm going

28:57

to share with you is a something that

28:59

I have had a

29:01

misconception about. And I feel

29:03

okay about it because the prompt was what's

29:05

a common misconception about a topic you're knowledgeable

29:08

about that you'd like to debunk. So I

29:10

didn't feel bad when I was schooled.

29:12

So now I'm going to try to school you. And if you

29:14

just keep saying, well, I already knew that. Well, I could lie

29:16

to you and tell you I already knew it. Because now I

29:18

know there are misconceptions. The way you do this is to just

29:20

tell me, is it true or false?

29:23

I know they're all false. Okay. That's

29:25

what I'm going to do. I'm going to see if I can fool you.

29:28

True or false? Bats.

29:30

Sleep upside. Are not

29:33

blind. Bats

29:36

are definitely not blind. They just. Yeah.

29:40

They just also use echolocation. But they

29:42

have eyes. Have you seen one? Yeah,

29:46

I have. But I didn't think about it. I

29:48

mean, blind people have eyes

29:50

too, Rhett. Yeah, but.

29:53

They just don't. They just don't

29:55

have a set of people. Alligators have eyes too. And

29:58

Then they have eyelids that cover them. Another

30:00

I live coverage of like a different Thing. But

30:04

I wouldn't have told you I don't

30:06

I don't know how well bats can

30:08

see because if they could see really

30:10

awesome in the night and why were

30:12

they need echolocation? exactly? Bats are blinds.

30:15

Ah, gaps youth with the first one

30:17

see that? Ah ha. don't realize he

30:19

I am. Their eyesight is just fine,

30:21

but since you're primarily nocturnal, they may

30:24

rely more on other senses. They.

30:26

Get like echolocation. The I mean in and around.

30:29

I saw a a tick tock

30:31

of a bad trying to get

30:33

into this woman's house. You're free

30:35

to bats. Well. I'm afraid of

30:37

that bat. Know you're afraid of bats are?

30:39

Yeah, I don't I it's I float on.

30:41

Have made a very clear. When

30:44

I went to Mexico and I dove in

30:46

the and us. Swim. In the

30:48

snow days and are a bunch of bats above

30:50

me? Nothing. No fear, nothing.

30:54

It's. When I'm outside and there's a

30:56

bath flying around in his swooping. Through.

30:59

Been in as who but out you know we the first one

31:01

to gets. Because again

31:03

at all is what I can see in

31:06

in it is Heather Dinklage had not gotten.

31:09

Next by a bad. Back.

31:11

In the eighties I wouldn't have know. your

31:13

neighbors fear your neighbors but you know the

31:16

bad versus at our best swoop and swarm

31:18

in North Carolina night as a as dusk

31:20

is approaching. got

31:22

all of in our hair and or caught

31:24

up of a as a bit of a

31:26

scary for you and. And.

31:29

And as such as has a row my

31:31

hair on his kind of like a baton.

31:33

At this point I think about how are

31:35

you dumb it's your foot this that was

31:37

dry it and you know how their arms

31:40

are wings. You know a lot people like

31:42

wings are arms right? It's like evolutionarily graduate.

31:44

It's a wing as a modified arm is

31:46

not like you grow wings and been on

31:48

your back and soda. I would actually linear

31:50

a drag until the wings are more almost

31:53

hands like the fingers or. Or.

31:55

Or where individual spines of yes

31:57

and as creating was like a

31:59

i mean. Look at this video is

32:01

a big is one of those big for his like

32:03

this big like a fruit bat with has heather there's

32:05

a video no no the other my when they are

32:07

trying to get an ios I something wrong with as

32:10

bad as it really wanted in. See

32:12

the way you feel about that bad as the way

32:15

that I want to filibustering shots? And

32:18

I'll have to make that adjustment. I'm not going to talk

32:20

about animals a lot but I am going to talk about

32:22

i'm I'm few more do think that about with why I

32:24

didn't his in think about it. Was

32:26

injured in Va. Mean there's a phrase

32:28

blinds of a blind is a bad.

32:31

Bill. So that meant that

32:33

always mint the opposite. See.

32:36

A mine is bar. Every

32:38

time someone says i'm blind is about it meant as

32:41

a kid see, they were telling me they could see

32:43

what? No, no. Ah,

32:48

Are all toads. Frogs Are All

32:51

Frogs Toads. Okay,

32:53

I'm gonna go with what I would have

32:55

told you coming into this Now Inc. And

32:58

keep in mind I should have given a

33:00

disclaimer: the top of this: This is just

33:02

people on Reddit. right? But

33:04

there's somebody comes in as as I know this and

33:06

make to give you a writer by there's always a

33:08

and there's always somebody else who say what you're stupid,

33:10

you're wrong and when get to the top. So this

33:13

is like this is the gold standard and knowledge that

33:15

I would have said that toads and frogs are. Disc

33:18

or two or to distinctly different things. I

33:20

didn't know that one was a sub of

33:22

us are the other. So.

33:24

I whatever that misconception is that?

33:26

So. I thought toads

33:28

never went that weren't technically

33:30

amphibians, and frogs were. Or

33:33

frogs the most little time in the water, some. What?

33:36

Is it? Is

33:39

just people saying snarky?

33:42

Sit underneath. Also, we

33:44

don't have a. Definitive.

33:46

Answer. No.

33:49

In this space it all

33:51

toads are frogs. But not

33:53

all frogs. Toads. South

33:56

toes are a subset of frogs. And

33:59

what is it does? But it makes him that

34:01

the they don't be either nine the water. Will

34:04

now mana have to google is it good out Nobody

34:06

went into said that they just whenever I pick up

34:08

a frog. Which. Is not com at

34:10

another time anymore. Is. Wet and slimy.

34:13

When you pick up a toad, it's

34:15

like awardee dry toads or warty looking

34:17

covered in a little lumps and bumps

34:19

while frogs are sleek and smooth. That's

34:22

how you tell the difference. Toads are

34:24

virtually always. Ah,

34:26

have dry skin whereas frogs and that were

34:28

even when they're out of water. I.

34:33

Mean that's just a different set of. Think that. We.

34:37

Had so many but autumn we were talking

34:39

about how they were totally different things but

34:41

like. At

34:44

all Dogs are toads. All all toads

34:46

of frogs but like yes so some

34:48

frogs of smooth. This.

34:51

Is an even other he gave. He

34:53

gets exposed. I feel like you've got

34:55

to get a second source on us

34:57

from our frogs toads. He is you.edu

34:59

says alter their frog the amount or

35:01

frogs Toads. But.

35:04

Then why is there so many infographics

35:06

about the been able to tell the

35:08

difference? I think it's like. Are

35:10

you a special type of frog? This a

35:12

toad? Are you not? Yeah.

35:14

I'll buy it. Would you like more? Ah,

35:17

I don't like either one of them, but if

35:19

I had to choose I think I would choose

35:21

a non toad. Frog. He.

35:24

Can't say frog. Both.

35:28

For what? for? a friend? Ah,

35:31

that preserve. That.

35:33

The slimy miss freaks me out if I had

35:35

to hold one of the other. but you just

35:37

said you'd rather have a frog. Three.

35:40

Want to be? I mean, I. Know.

35:42

I didn't understand the question. would you prefer

35:44

not? I didn't want his eyes as which one

35:46

do you like more which when he prefer

35:48

that was when do you prefer to be afraid

35:51

of set? I know I just said it

35:53

backwards. Sauce had a cover for myself. You

35:55

prefer a toad as a friend. I

35:58

think I would. Know. What?

36:02

I think those wealth. Well, I I don't know

36:04

because I might. Here's exactly what happened in my

36:06

brain. I didn't like toads because I didn't like

36:08

warding this. And then I realized I didn't like

36:11

Sly Minas. Some I change my answer in the

36:13

middle of it. And. I seemed like a

36:15

d know what I'm talking about. They have that didn't

36:17

If I had a todo I don't like either. Want

36:19

to fight a toad that was a friend and I

36:21

haven't won a little least. I feel like you go

36:23

everywhere that I go. Insane.

36:27

To. But if I was a frog if at a frog

36:29

friend of you're in a non toad for on. Like.

36:31

A frog frog. Well. A

36:33

code is a frog. I feel like I would have to.

36:36

Skip. Get him water a lot and

36:38

I have ever get annoying time mean it's.

36:42

Like. A friend? Yes, you have to constantly. but

36:44

lip balm on. I'm. Gay.

36:47

A year the frog in this relationship success but

36:49

I don't make you put it all me on

36:51

the will obviously got a warts and all this

36:53

out in the desert like he could put me

36:56

through anything in that I was like op right

36:58

at all. Your god you leave this guy as

37:00

I've heard seven minutes and he turned his heart

37:02

is a rock in the sun's completely behind for

37:04

it it on. Some

37:07

oh man I just I know I take

37:09

care my neither have I have my i

37:11

have my bags. Yeah. We my bomb,

37:13

I don't I don't even can be sued All if

37:15

you got a fanny pack your the frog in the

37:17

relationship, there's nothing wrong with it. I'm just pointing out

37:20

well a totally broad to a to tell you evil

37:22

saga by our frog and toad. Toad

37:25

around San you get on a

37:27

green one. I may I chose

37:29

Assessed. Well as

37:31

and it's a military mechanic, you're

37:33

my first real ready for eggs,

37:35

ready to fix It's I. Says

37:38

we have a summer's form of animals arguably

37:41

one more. This

37:43

person said i wanna flip a table

37:45

every time I hear. Or.

37:48

Cars are actually dolphins.

37:50

Not what. Whales.

37:54

Are. Orchids, dolphins, So,

38:00

are orcas dolphins? I...

38:05

He doesn't want to be wrong. No, no,

38:07

no, no. They're called killer whales, but I

38:09

was told at some point in the past

38:11

that an orca and a dolphin are

38:14

in the same... They're like on the

38:16

same family tree or whatever. So

38:18

you're saying orcas are dolphins. They're a type

38:20

of dolphin. That's what I would have told

38:22

you. I could be wrong. And

38:25

are dolphins whales? Um...

38:28

I don't know. I don't think so. I

38:31

mean, they're... maybe whale is a big

38:33

category that's all, you know, mammals that

38:35

swim. But if it is, that's news

38:37

to you? I

38:40

know that whales and dolphins are

38:42

very closely related. No,

38:45

no, no. Like, hold on. But you're asking... Is it

38:47

news to you that if

38:49

a dolphin were a whale, would that be news to

38:51

you? It would be like... Or...

38:55

Yeah, I would be like... You're saying

38:57

that whale is like frog. Yes,

39:00

that would be news to me. Okay. All

39:02

right. What have I got news for you?

39:06

Wha... They're all whales. All dolphins

39:08

are toothed whales.

39:11

Okay. And so... So

39:14

they're whales. A killer whale is also a dolphin

39:16

because it's toothed. Bingo. Bingo. Okay.

39:18

Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Also,

39:20

orca isn't a less offensive

39:22

term for killer whale. Orchines

39:24

orca roughly translates to demon

39:26

of the sea. Plus,

39:29

it's not like orcas would give up flying

39:32

F. Beep boop. About

39:35

our shitty human opinions anyways.

39:37

They probably love being called

39:39

killer whales because they're assholes.

39:42

Super intelligent badass... ...holes.

39:45

That's what somebody said. You've seen the

39:47

footage of the toothed

39:49

whale orca batting around

39:51

a dolphin... ...of

39:55

the flipper variety. I've seen them do it

39:57

with the seals. And the seals. They

40:00

also like bat around dolphins. They'll eat a dolphin

40:03

man. We know they are a dolphin I can't wait, but

40:05

you know what I mean until we can talk to them.

40:07

I just can't they're getting close to it. They they They

40:11

use AI to have a conversation

40:13

with the humpback Mm-hmm. Yeah,

40:15

well and the

40:17

oh Man

40:20

it's gonna be crazy I'm just it's gonna

40:22

be crazy because they're they're so their brains

40:24

are so big the dog The dolphins brain

40:26

is bigger than our brain and it now

40:30

But the things that they care about are things that are

40:32

so different I would say I would go a step beyond

40:34

the things that they care about Yes, that's one way of

40:36

putting it but like the type

40:38

of intelligence is so different So

40:40

like an octopus the reason that

40:43

they ended up having this conversation

40:46

What they said they're using AI to have this conversation

40:48

with the Sun fact well in

40:50

hopes of learning how to communicate with another

40:52

intelligent being that Doesn't think

40:55

about the world in the same way that we

40:57

do right we had that we have this like

40:59

Assumption that there's going to be like some kind

41:01

of language that we have to decipher or whatever

41:04

But those things are so smart and way

41:06

smarter than us in a whole lot of areas that we

41:09

don't need to be smart in And then we're a lot

41:11

smarter in a bunch of areas that we need to be

41:13

smarter in I would love a

41:15

dolphin friend though Put

41:18

my toe on top of him so he stays out

41:20

of the water Since we're

41:22

talking about Language

41:24

and translation I'm

41:28

gonna totally call it all about I'm gonna I'm gonna

41:30

skip down to to one that I wasn't ready to talk

41:32

about yet Okay, that's the fidelity of

41:34

this podcast That's

41:37

what can happen Rhett you can say something

41:40

and it will totally change the entire order with which

41:42

I Try to surprise you

41:45

unless this is all part of your plan No,

41:50

it wasn't I think it's been pretty clear

41:52

that I've had a really loose plan For

41:57

the alright so sign

41:59

language American

42:02

Sign Language is

42:04

separate from other

42:07

sign language. American Sign Language

42:09

– I know you already know that. American

42:12

Sign Language – I do not know American Sign Language.

42:14

I know you don't know it, but you know

42:16

that it's called American Sign Language for

42:18

a reason. All right, so

42:21

is it

42:23

different than British Sign Language? I

42:27

certainly hope not. Well,

42:33

I mean, if

42:36

you're starting from scratch, inventing a

42:38

language that is

42:42

supposed to be used with hearing

42:44

impaired people… It's quite an

42:47

opportunity, isn't it? It's quite an opportunity to develop a universal

42:49

language. It is. So I've never thought

42:51

about this before. Yeah. But

42:53

just because of the way you're asking it, I'm

42:56

convinced that American Sign Language is just

42:58

sign language. You're

43:01

making an excellent point,

43:04

and I'm sorry to say

43:07

that American Sign Language and

43:09

British Sign Language are completely

43:11

different. The way that this

43:13

person puts it, for the last 39 years,

43:15

I have worked as an American Sign Language

43:17

interpreter. I cannot

43:19

even spell my name in

43:22

British Sign Language. It's that

43:24

different. British

43:26

Sign Language uses two hands. American

43:29

Sign Language uses one hand and

43:31

is based on French Sign Language.

43:34

But you are exactly right. People are making this point.

43:39

Like Japanese Sign Language

43:42

and American Sign Language may

43:45

not be mutually intelligible, but it's shocking to hear

43:48

British and American… … or that universally

43:51

speaking that they didn't take –

43:53

that this opportunity wasn't taken to

43:55

just, yes, let's just keep adopting

43:58

the same one. I guess that's A good

44:00

point. that you are. I mean especially American. Coming.

44:03

From French or like. I

44:05

don't know. Sisyphic, it's very separatists

44:07

to. you know it's I guess

44:09

that's a American spirit me into

44:11

be more friends than British when

44:13

separating. The the idea that. Like

44:16

okay Japanese I language.

44:19

It's a starting point is you know if

44:22

getting about the way like mandarin works which.

44:24

I. Can't speak it and I don't know

44:26

anything about other than the fact that there

44:29

are like different tones. And. Piss in

44:31

that we don't do that kind of thing

44:33

in English, so is a hold and it

44:35

obviously like the way that the characters are

44:37

written as a completely different thing. So

44:40

because those languages are so

44:42

different, you a kind of

44:45

expect the sign language to

44:47

be different. For.

44:49

The American and British thing that the sounds like

44:51

somebody does have enough spite. Well it

44:54

it's it's. a little more. Like

44:56

a. Pragmatic than that.

44:59

The. Next you know somebody. the first

45:02

comment on any spoken and sign

45:04

language is don't have much in

45:06

common. So just because the speaking

45:08

population is a Britain in the

45:10

Usa share language doesn't mean that

45:12

the sign languages of the respective

45:14

populations are in any way mutually

45:17

intelligible. American speak English. Because British

45:19

people move to the U S

45:21

and displaced the Native Americans who

45:23

spoke very different languages, there was

45:25

no large scale migration of British

45:27

sign language users to influence. American

45:30

sign language, Bsl and Sl

45:32

could be as different in

45:34

English and Japanese. On

45:37

a related note, consider that a. Congenitally.

45:40

Deaf person learning to read the

45:42

native spoken language of their country

45:45

is learning abstract symbols that are

45:47

totally and completely meaningless and opaque

45:49

to them. It's

45:51

far more difficult for them

45:53

to map the letters to

45:55

their female seen him. Because

45:58

the written word is. Representation of

46:00

spoken language to that the only way

46:03

as they've never heard, the only way

46:05

into what this language is symbolizing is

46:07

a word. So you make that connection

46:09

to the word versus the connection all

46:12

the way to the thing that word

46:14

references. Yeah, but it just feels like

46:16

you could do that. What you could

46:19

do, you could have I'm talking about

46:21

of a mug. Right?

46:24

Or a cup or whatever on how specific

46:26

it gets. It.

46:29

Feels like there's not a to feel like there's

46:31

an opportunity year and I'm not saying I if

46:34

we should be the boys to do anything about

46:36

it, I'm just saying somebody shoots somebody commented your

46:38

initial reaction. Some.

46:40

I like there's different types, a sign language.

46:43

And I guess it really pisses me off.

46:46

We have the perfect opportunity create a near

46:48

globally recognized language, or tens of millions of

46:50

people are more, and we just. Didn't.

46:53

Question. Mark somebody response.

46:56

I'm. Never a marine. This for the first time solicit I

46:58

could go into. That's

47:00

not how language works. He can't

47:02

discrete universal language out of thin

47:04

air. More specifically, language sainted by

47:06

region according to the unique anthropological

47:08

factors of a given population and

47:10

children add systematic new grammar rules.

47:14

This. Is what fuzzy fuzzy all

47:16

people in in graphical prescriptive is

47:18

are referring to when they complain

47:20

about slang this hypothetical universal language

47:22

with stop being universal within a

47:24

generation. Was a good point

47:27

and in the person respond as yeah i

47:29

suppose you're I still though the lead. Or

47:31

the as this is to piggyback

47:33

Doesn't that with the British sign language,

47:36

there's also New Zealand sign language. An

47:38

Australian sign language flat because they is

47:40

an. The. Seal hands

47:43

when add to ended alphabet

47:45

said still considered the same

47:47

language but different dialects because

47:50

they have different. Slang.

47:52

Terms and different ways of like.

47:55

Holding. And listening their

47:57

hands. So. Like totally.

48:00

They're. Different dialects season everly.

48:02

Make. Sense or American Skyn.

48:05

The. One hand thing though, because you gotta hold a

48:07

hamburger And one hand. And you gotta

48:09

51:15

in chrome. Is

51:18

a security guard. He

51:20

says or knows. Cctv.

51:24

That cctv you think is keeping an eye

51:26

on your safety. Chances are it broke years

51:28

ago and they can be bother getting a

51:30

contractor up to six. It's have never worked

51:32

in a facility with more than sixty percent

51:34

of cameras operational, but do you want to

51:36

take that risk. So.

51:39

You're to tell me things Now

51:41

here's rings. Yeah yeah, this is

51:43

what happens. I just reading Reddit

51:45

site. Visit. Cctv

51:47

person in. Your.

51:52

Work. Our will because we don't

51:54

have as a to hang out or

51:56

we don't have the cctv. in

51:59

america the way they have

52:01

it in Europe or… Oh, where they're talking

52:04

about facilities, like security cameras and like… You

52:07

know. Well, in like England… I'd

52:09

better say to keep those up. It's

52:12

everything. Yeah. Like

52:14

everything you do is on camera. Everything.

52:18

Yeah. You're signing with both

52:20

hands and they can get it off. And I

52:22

think that those probably… a lot of

52:24

those probably work. But you're saying they're

52:26

like a private facility. That's

52:29

what I'd say to get them in. I mean a lot of times people just get…

52:31

they don't get the

52:33

security system. They get the sign they put in their front

52:35

yard that says they have the security system. Right. Right.

52:38

It's cheaper that way. Yeah.

52:40

All right. Here's

52:43

one. Do you think… This

52:45

is kind of a non-sequitur, but like you have experience with this,

52:48

so I want to see what you think. This

52:52

person said that… is combating

52:55

a misunderstanding

52:57

about construction work. This

53:01

person asserts, construction is fun.

53:04

Hard work, but fine. This

53:06

is a misconception? Yeah. I

53:09

mean it has a lot

53:11

of upvotes. I mean what kind of discipline

53:13

are they exerting in this thread, this subreddit?

53:16

This guy should have been kicked out. Well,

53:18

man, I think this is… you know, people

53:20

think construction is not fun. Apparently

53:22

it is fun. We've been over here… have

53:24

you been thinking construction is not fun? I have

53:27

to be honest. I've been thinking construction is

53:29

not that fun. You have to wear a hard

53:31

hat. I mean it seems like you're

53:33

in constant danger. It's as if you

53:35

went… you go through a neighborhood and you

53:37

recognize everybody and want to hug them, but

53:39

they have a dog beside them. That's what

53:41

construction work is to me. But

53:45

think about this. Think about the

53:47

difference between data entry or… you

53:52

know, even like being at a call center compared

53:55

to construction work. Like Construction

53:57

work. you're outside, you're… If

54:00

you enter the physical your i'm you're

54:02

working with other people. You

54:04

have a sense of accomplishment you can look at

54:06

the thing in their does not get half and

54:08

built that yeah you know it's own. That's the

54:11

thing I like about like hiking at places that

54:13

than I can go back to and if it's

54:15

a high spot. Be. Like. I

54:17

can be down from the high spot and I you

54:19

know by me. I hiked up there once. You

54:22

know there's a high spot behind our house

54:24

and sometimes others look at me. I have

54:26

been up to have been up there couple

54:29

times and sometimes I'll tell people have been

54:31

out there. it is. It's sad as I

54:33

sit a package if I could go by

54:35

a building. skyscraper, low scraper, I

54:37

don't know. Rants House we like a

54:39

built that that would be a force.

54:42

Use every pretty satisfying. Which. Is

54:44

a component of fun. I

54:47

need to go find that houses. I

54:49

was. Help build

54:51

in high school. Measure.

54:54

Track it up. A sign of. The

54:57

one house that like. The

54:59

guy the foreman like put you sixteen

55:01

year old read and charge. Framing.

55:05

Me: It was. Mr. Fred and

55:08

me interest all summer long. For me, it took

55:10

us a lot longer to frame house than it

55:12

would have. As any, we have any idea what

55:14

we're doing. Do you have fun? The.

55:16

Most fun! The. Most

55:18

on we would take breaks mr

55:20

for with some of the cigarettes

55:22

Cigarettes we would eat figs from

55:24

a tree in the yard. That

55:28

sounds like the most vile fig tree. That's.

55:31

It that's all it took the have found no a

55:33

mean putting up of you know. Put. Up

55:35

a wall, I get into the

55:37

corner and realizing that a closet is about a foot

55:39

smaller than I should be and is below I well

55:42

I mean summer and how many certain to they need.

55:45

Is a just going on about your business is I've had

55:47

it. As

55:49

a guy. I

55:52

mean, some I said we had a

55:54

blast most days it's raining, sweet, less

55:56

get muddy, a f and right things

55:58

on the boards using the mud. The only

56:00

days and not really sell and this is we

56:02

write things on the boards with permanent markers. On

56:05

I can cook or feel the first two

56:07

things. Yeah, you listed is riding

56:09

on the boards. Yeah, right on the board.

56:11

What habit of the sense of accomplishment that

56:13

we'd link was just talking about? We

56:16

never look at what you just built a

56:18

this got dumped this is the same person

56:20

by good up on that because or don't

56:22

the tank again or a on a supervisor

56:25

once. I. Mean.

56:27

This is this is like the Superbowl. Talk

56:30

shit all day. Did you talk shit? Ah,

56:32

the most shit. Oh you does. Mister.

56:35

Fred talks and bullshit us mans as a

56:38

key measures. a couple a sixteen year olds

56:40

he's retired. He was is. he

56:42

was doing it just to stay busy, didn't talk shit

56:44

like basically getting Shepherd and Lando to put up a

56:46

house. Imagine all the stuff we'd say to them. He

56:50

would get angry right armory family. He would

56:52

get so angry, his so mad. If.

56:55

I wonder if. He's

56:59

dead now. But.

57:01

Apparently he a lot of fun trend texted me

57:03

like. To use

57:05

bangs. I missed Fred Fred past aca

57:07

mean, he wasn't nurse movie like a

57:09

chimney in the mid nineties. A mean,

57:11

right? Quite an accomplishment that he made

57:13

it as far as he did. I

57:17

did. Do you are you haven't find you want to spend

57:19

a lot of like you? I'm almost about falsely but you.

57:23

Know what about it? gives his

57:25

didn't worship cats. Does.

57:27

That do that so you fancy. Now

57:32

now. Really Okay. I didn't

57:34

think that. Yeah yeah I didn't think

57:36

that he the what about. With

57:39

which you would you rather by. Genuine

57:42

leather are full grain leather.

57:46

This is a nice the great there

57:48

ever. Wish. Wizard which is better which

57:50

you want to buy. I.

57:52

Will be genuine. I other I would

57:55

be completely guessing. If I

57:57

were to guess. Said. Know nothing about

57:59

leather. Although I have one year abstaining

58:01

by a voice. If you take dogs have

58:03

like a guy make and and leather drum.

58:06

Ah, Is incredible.

58:10

Well who would. See.

58:13

You're not going even commit. City.

58:15

City since you just saw your frame which

58:17

was better, Which one would you rather have

58:19

yet? A

58:23

meme. Genuine probably means

58:25

it's actually from a cow.

58:28

In. Full grain. Means it's

58:30

from a cow that. Is.

58:33

Little bit better. For. Going on both

58:35

auguring few right read: I I wish

58:37

you weren't but you are he right

58:39

again, but it's a full grain. Others

58:41

what you want: Genuine leather. Means.

58:44

Is technically leather, but it's often

58:46

correct be grain meaning the top

58:48

service isn't really leather, rather the

58:50

top layer of skin is sanded

58:53

down or split in. some kind

58:55

of synthetic topping is added that

58:57

looks perfect but will not were

58:59

nicely. Oh so you want full

59:02

grain, lower rank as it goes all the way

59:04

through. But the thing is, when you're there in

59:06

the belt shop. Or whatever. It's

59:08

not like they have us like. Both.

59:11

Sides. You. Just gonna

59:13

see genuine leather and you're going to be like that.

59:15

Must be the goodwin to this only one I see.

59:18

Don't. Fall for right That as it

59:20

does it as important as important. Because

59:24

if you is that if I got genuine leather. And.

59:27

Then you tell me that there was a fake peace a

59:29

leather on top of it. And be

59:31

like okay best as up says. You're.

59:35

Not that this might be the most useful

59:37

things omaha day or right. What

59:39

about this? Study

59:41

will buy insurance adjusters some bug

59:43

alert since it I guess is

59:46

about goes in the stratosphere. You

59:48

better tell me why insurers adjusting

59:50

his funds. Are

59:54

you suspicious of insurance adjusters?

59:58

For. A You mean. Me:

1:00:00

I fit in light of where

1:00:02

you're getting this information process of.

1:00:04

I mean when when my house

1:00:06

flooded. And the guy

1:00:09

showed up to adjust. The.

1:00:11

Insurance. I. Don't even know

1:00:13

exactly why it is. There's a reason, but I don't know

1:00:15

what it is. A

1:00:17

Very suspicious You know it's like well,

1:00:19

you're gonna, you're gonna give me the

1:00:22

money so that I can fix this

1:00:24

right? And. Then there

1:00:26

were like well, you were going to put these suckers

1:00:28

down first as if we get the. Get

1:00:31

the moisture out and then

1:00:33

if that doesn't work, then

1:00:35

we'll replace everything. So. I

1:00:37

didn't have a good feeling I was. I wonder how long

1:00:39

is that going to take in? By the way, it didn't

1:00:41

work and then we got these like. Subsume.

1:00:44

Racine that are like Use and all

1:00:46

my electricity trying to suck the moisture

1:00:49

out of my hardwood floors for like

1:00:51

over a week. Loud.

1:00:54

Inconvenience. And then

1:00:56

he didn't work. They drive

1:00:58

side a bad taste or mouth about his insurance

1:01:00

adjusters. I gotta go through their things but. Let.

1:01:03

Me: At least let this guy defend

1:01:05

himself. I'm. An insurance agent

1:01:08

all cases as from the adjusters mouth. I

1:01:10

have no intent or motivation to

1:01:13

quote see you on your claim.

1:01:15

I've handled a zillion claims like years.

1:01:18

They provoke no particular reaction from me

1:01:20

unless it involves extreme injury or death.

1:01:22

Okay, so he's. He's. Not a.

1:01:25

Whore. Who like work for. Insurance

1:01:27

is a heavily regulated industries. We are

1:01:29

surprise audited three times a year by

1:01:31

the Department of Insurance on our claims

1:01:34

and business practices. If there was any

1:01:36

evidence that adjusters got great raises are

1:01:38

bonuses as is due to the amount

1:01:40

of money we saved on pain claims,

1:01:42

the company would be fine. Million dollars

1:01:44

in potential lose the right to operate

1:01:47

in the state in which those practices

1:01:49

occur. And when someone says they're getting

1:01:51

an attorney of bless you. I

1:01:54

have to practically staple my mouth shut to

1:01:56

avoid saying can offer you a referral because

1:01:59

I would much. The speak to an attorney

1:02:01

any day of the week. Ago

1:02:03

than some distrusting see I'm I'm the

1:02:05

I think what he's he's just letting

1:02:07

off steam here is like. You.

1:02:10

Every situation going to. Be.

1:02:13

Easy. You know people think you're. They

1:02:16

don't trust you. You. Know they think

1:02:18

you're They think you scum. They think you're trying

1:02:20

to pull one over. This is a good example

1:02:22

of. You. Know now when I tell

1:02:24

my health insurance that's that's another Balogh Acts

1:02:26

was those it put that in the Sabbath.

1:02:28

This is a good example of like when

1:02:30

he talks about there's no motivation. Well

1:02:33

there there was motivation at one

1:02:36

point in which is why they

1:02:38

develop manipulations of this particular industry.

1:02:40

This is one thing that everybody's

1:02:42

like anti regulation, but there's so

1:02:44

many examples of the why we

1:02:46

have regulations because. Insurance.

1:02:48

Is a private business, it is a

1:02:51

profit. That profit driven business rights issue.

1:02:53

If you don't have regulations of course

1:02:55

you're getting is screwed by the insurance

1:02:57

adjusters because they are motivated to make

1:02:59

as much money as they possibly can

1:03:02

and to keep all of the money

1:03:04

that you been paying and and not

1:03:06

have to pay out adequately for whatever

1:03:08

happens to they're going to minimize right

1:03:10

even more. That guy is actually got

1:03:13

a comforting to know that like yes,

1:03:15

were audited, were audited by some agency.

1:03:17

Some. Evil government agency that is designed to

1:03:20

actually make sure that insurance adjusters are doing

1:03:22

what they're supposed to do. So in this

1:03:24

a me I don't know anything about this

1:03:26

industry it off but this is a case

1:03:28

of. Now.

1:03:30

Regulations are bad. Regulations exists for a.

1:03:33

Very. Particular reason in different industries

1:03:35

well. I think this

1:03:37

is really just cases as who the

1:03:39

messenger. Like. This.

1:03:41

Guy's doing his job is how I

1:03:43

can. Like. A Parking.

1:03:47

Like a meter person parking meter.

1:03:50

Officer. You. Know it's

1:03:52

like they've got a shit job where

1:03:54

it's like every time they interact with

1:03:56

some by it's the my he's angry

1:03:59

because. They're. Doing

1:04:01

their job, And maybe you

1:04:03

have your reason why you were later you didn't

1:04:05

the parking was weird or you can have a

1:04:07

defense that like don't make it a that person.

1:04:10

You. Know it is more the system. With

1:04:13

that being said I mean somebody was pointed

1:04:15

out will teach you see that as. An

1:04:19

individual just a may have no

1:04:21

reason to be an efficient, but

1:04:23

the system itself has a and

1:04:25

has reasons to be in because

1:04:27

the inefficiency making every single task

1:04:29

throughout the process more difficult and

1:04:31

time consuming and confusing as possible

1:04:33

is beneficial to the insurance companies

1:04:36

Oddity Answer That. He

1:04:42

dipped eyes and will hours know he's

1:04:44

been. He goes out. That

1:04:47

you know hate the machine. Don't hate

1:04:49

the driver. You know,

1:04:51

with her. The stuff is

1:04:53

a tough world. Lotta ins and outs.

1:04:57

You. Know frogs, toads, man, Nope.

1:05:01

Total fraud or he had around. What

1:05:03

do we learn today All I try

1:05:05

to summarize it and I got it

1:05:07

backwards. Also, the frogs and out or

1:05:09

frogs toads. all. Orchids,

1:05:12

Their dolphins and all dolphins are

1:05:14

toothed whales. But. Not all of

1:05:16

whales or orcas. right?

1:05:22

That's. Have eyes that they can

1:05:24

say it's. True.

1:05:28

I learned a lot. That it.

1:05:31

As it. Has

1:05:34

something about this for my well. so disappointed.

1:05:36

You know you didn't deserve money. Or

1:05:39

your so. For great. You

1:05:41

Silverman. Are

1:05:44

you bro that the wrong? Cause

1:05:47

I would you prefer a dream

1:05:49

of i suffered a broken as

1:05:51

honestly. As

1:05:53

we're broke ssssss.

1:05:57

s houses

1:06:00

I did find it interesting one of the things

1:06:03

that we discussed today just just now that you're

1:06:05

talking about it we're

1:06:07

talking about insurance and and

1:06:10

then I look at like the The

1:06:14

like basically if

1:06:17

I die you get money and

1:06:19

if you die get money But

1:06:22

is it enough money Well,

1:06:25

I mean we're always revisiting that okay, so

1:06:27

So you talk about incentive

1:06:31

Yeah You

1:06:34

got to make yourself worth more than what I

1:06:36

would get That's

1:06:40

what our whole career At this point we

1:06:42

have to each be worth more than it

1:06:45

would just be for just the other got

1:06:47

a murder And I don't think

1:06:49

you get it if you've murder me dude. Oh,

1:06:51

well, it would be accidental as far

1:06:53

as everybody else is concerned Okay. Yeah,

1:06:55

yeah I

1:06:57

don't think you can get away with murdering me, but I think you

1:07:00

get away with murder. I think you've made it more difficult Now

1:07:03

that I've talked about it on the internet. Damn.

1:07:05

I every the way that I've been acting for

1:07:07

years I hold him it was genuine leather Let's

1:07:10

see. I'm good. I'm good at I'm

1:07:13

good at that It doesn't make a lot of sense

1:07:15

because you don't know exactly what I'm talking about But

1:07:17

it's just the way I would defend myself Your

1:07:19

honor, I told him it was

1:07:21

genuine leather. I don't know

1:07:23

what you're talking about But I've been

1:07:26

building my entire persona as a cover

1:07:28

for when I murder you. Oh It's

1:07:30

like he never could have gotten away right

1:07:32

because he could be accidental. Yeah He

1:07:36

can't he can't plan things through if you

1:07:38

kill me in an accident Did

1:07:41

you still get paid? Like

1:07:43

could you get but I so I large

1:07:45

with involuntary manslaughter because like if I like

1:07:47

gesture with a knife And it just goes

1:07:49

right into my jugular If

1:07:52

I cut if I kill you on this show and you

1:07:55

didn't mean to your honor Everyone

1:07:57

knows you didn't mean to but

1:08:00

do you still get the payout? Even

1:08:03

though you might still go to jail for negligence. Or

1:08:07

at least like a civil suit. What's

1:08:10

gonna happen is you're gonna accidentally kill me with

1:08:12

a knife while gesturing. I'm

1:08:14

gonna get the cash. You're gonna get the cash but then my

1:08:16

wife is gonna sue you for the cash and she's gonna get

1:08:18

it. Okay,

1:08:21

okay. This is not like a TV movie. I

1:08:23

gotta take this into account. You might need to

1:08:26

make this exact movie that we've just outlined. I

1:08:31

got a wreck. It's

1:08:34

a documentary on Netflix that

1:08:37

you watched that then I turned around

1:08:39

and watched with Christy and if

1:08:41

you're, I mean if you're in your 40s, like

1:08:46

we are. You're gonna love it. Then

1:08:49

I think you might have to be at least 43 to

1:08:51

really, really enjoy it. You think so? Yeah.

1:08:54

But to really enjoy it. To feel like that

1:08:56

you were old enough to

1:08:58

like have a point of reference for it.

1:09:01

If you remember this, it happened. It's

1:09:04

a documentary called We Are One.

1:09:06

It is the We Are The

1:09:08

World documentary, The Greatest Night in

1:09:10

Pop. It's

1:09:14

the story of Lionel

1:09:16

Richie and Michael Jackson writing

1:09:19

the song We Are The World

1:09:21

and then the Lionel's

1:09:23

manager basically producing the

1:09:27

event, like

1:09:29

the logistics of bringing together like

1:09:32

so many stars from

1:09:34

music to have

1:09:37

a little piece of the vocal

1:09:40

performance. And the way that it,

1:09:43

the way that they went about it, it

1:09:45

was a live performance. They were all in

1:09:47

the same room together and it was like

1:09:50

one night, one fateful night. Yeah, the greatest

1:09:52

night in pop history. And

1:09:54

of course, I don't watch a lot of

1:09:57

music documentaries. I know you do, but for

1:09:59

me. The yeah, it was

1:10:01

the point of reference of being this thing that

1:10:04

Never the complexity of what it would take

1:10:06

in order to actually pull this off didn't

1:10:08

right lost my mind as a child watching

1:10:11

it I was just like all my favorite

1:10:13

people in one place But then yeah thinking

1:10:15

what does it take to get all your favorite people in one

1:10:17

place? And then what happens when you have all

1:10:19

of those egos in one room? For

1:10:22

so many wonder for many many hours until

1:10:24

you're trying to get this song, right? Yeah,

1:10:29

and it heavily features a line of Richie's so can't

1:10:31

go wrong with that So

one We'll

talk to you next week. Hey Rhett and

1:11:02

Link. I just finished an

1:11:04

online course and During

1:11:07

lunchtime I sorted my mail Literally

1:11:11

sorted the mail and when

1:11:14

we came back from lunch The

1:11:16

instructor asked everybody what they did at lunchtime,

1:11:18

and I said I sorted the

1:11:21

mail Kind of hoping

1:11:23

that someone else might know what the

1:11:25

innuendo meant Even though

1:11:27

I wasn't serious about it However,

1:11:30

nobody reacted but at least

1:11:32

in my own head. I was

1:11:34

able to laugh about sorting the mail.

1:11:37

Thanks Link. Bye
