95 segmentsBroadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty. Here's Armstrong and Getty. Here's how it will work. Once a month. Our five city run grocery stores will set prices for this core set of goods at 30% below typical retail prices. No exceptions, no gimmicks. The savings will last for the entire month. That means no weekly fluctuations nor sticker shock at the checkout line. Wow, that's a mayor of New York City who, as Bill Maher said yesterday, is a communist, not just a socialist or Democrat socialists. And the Islamist, the Cherry on the Evil Sunday. Not just a Sweden-leaning Democrat or whatever. He's a freaking communist talking about his government-run grocery stores that he's, is he, is he, does he have, are they actually opening? Because I remember when he was running all the noise being, you know, he can talk about this all the want, but all he wants. But mayors don't set grocery store policies. So how does that whole thing work? Well, they've already designated the property and bought it for many times its alleged worth. And I guess they're moving ahead with developing it and staffing it, building it. But it doesn't exist yet. When do we get into the... economic pushback on this plan after he talks or that's that's a good question well since he just mentioned 30% I'll just throw it in right now obviously one of the problems with this sort of government run grocery store that where the the staple items of life and I haven't seen the list I'm guessing it's like I don't know milk bread food are 30% cheaper than all of your regular free market grocery stores. Well, you're undercutting all of those grocery stores that can't sell that stuff then. And they're either going to stop selling that stuff or go out of business. That's pretty much the only two options. And those grocery stores famously run very, very narrow margins. Two percent margin in grocery stores. Yeah, they don't make much profit at all. You know, I think it helps to talk about the economic insanity of this before we hear. The communist ringleader speak. I'm going to quote very briefly, Nelly Bowles of the free press, who mentions just in general of the DSA. I'm going to say it. The socialists have become full commies. All food, energy, medicine, and transportation is state-run, full communism. And she mentions the New York City DSA co-chair went on TV last week. When he was asked about bodega owners, those little grocery stores that are everywhere in New York City, who might be upset over having to compete with the new government grocery stores, which don't have to pay property taxes or rent and are subsidized. by taxpayers. Here's what he said. Maybe they shouldn't have been in that business in the first place.
Oh, baby, they're heating up, she writes. She says, let's cut to the chase. All private industry is evil. All private property is evil. Your bodega evil. Personally, she writes, with delicious sarcasm, I would love to be a communist, but I have access to the internet and have read 30 seconds of Wikipedia about all past communist efforts, including literal lesbian communes. It doesn't work, kids. It never does. Well, if you think about the math part of it for a little bit, and this is, again, you wonder how communists can come to actually believe this stuff. They actually believe it, which is what's so crazy that it will work out somehow. We're going to do it right. That's always what they say. They didn't do it right. We are going to. So does he believe the grocery stores are making a 30% profit on all the staple items? Because otherwise, if they're only making what is the known number, they run like a 2% margin of profit at your big grocery stores, they're buying stuff as cheaply as they can. and then charging, you know, whatever they can get away with and making 2%. Whoever they're buying it from, you know, the distributor, their farmer, whatever, are they going to start taking way, way, way, way, way less for this stuff? No. It's going to have to be subsidized by the taxpayer to be able to buy this stuff to sell it at 30% less. So the taxpayer is going to be picking up the other 30%. There's no other way around it. Are you asking, does Zohran Mamdani think that? Or his supporters. Because Zohran Mamdani thinks, no, Zohran Mamdani thinks, and the interesting thing about Zohran Mamdani is famously with the Red Green Alliance, Islamists and, well, I guess it's Marxists and Islamists is when they triumph over the system, the stronger side slaughters, literally. 30,000 leftists were put to death. After the Iranian revolution, because the leftists and the Islamists had gotten together to overthrow the Shah. And the Islamists was stronger, and they slaughtered seriously 30,000 leftists. So the interesting thing about Zohran Mamdani to me is which one is he really at his core? I suspect an Islamist. But anyway, what he believes is, no, this is communism. We're going to steal from the rich and give to the poor to put us in power. How do the supporters not think this through? Let's use meat. Okay, so I raise cattle and sell them. No, no, no. It's New York City going to come to me and say, oh, we need to pay you 30% less for your beef. I'd say, no, I'm going to sell it to other places. I'm going to stop selling to New York City because I can't afford it. So you sell all your meat to other grocery stores. I mean, why would I take a 30% cut? Well, you're not going to. So if you're going to buy meat, you're going to have to buy it at the old price, and the taxpayer is going to have to pick up that. They know the difference. Oh, yeah, that's 100% the idea. So the supporters think that there's just endless tax money from the rich. Yes, exactly. That will pick up that 30%. Okay. Anybody who has succeeded in capitalism has succeeded at the expense of those who haven't. Therefore, we should take their money. We'll buy the cattle for now.
by bilking, by milking, by confiscating all the wealth of anybody who's successful until we get to full communism. And then the people will own the cattle. And there will be no profit. Therefore, everything will be cheaper. I mean, it'd be something if he came along and said everything's going to be 10% cheaper. 30% cheaper than other grocery stores. Wow. Remember, this plan is just the middle stage till they achieve full communism. And the people, meaning the government, meaning bureaucrats, meaning mobbed up murderers, always. They will own everything. So again, this is just a transitional stage. And if that bespectacled lady from the DSA who did the true false and... on uh shannon breams show if i think i i more or less said exactly what she would say because i've heard their arguments a thousand times anyway Zohran Mamdani goes on we don't know everything about 30% off Anthony Fauci imitation real money for new yorkers with an estimated ninety dollars saved on grocery bills each month that is more than a thousand dollars saved every year and just as important as money those savings add up to time For many, that 30% discount is the difference between an evening spent around the dinner table with family or working another double shift to make ends meet. Okay, I like skipping to the how great it would be to pay 30% less for groceries. Yes, I'm an agreement with you on that. If all of a sudden all my groceries are 30% off, I would have more money to spend on other things. We agree on that. You kind of skipped to the fun part without the ugly part in between. Yeah, we got a great note from first initial C, who was talking about the conscious misuse of language in the DSA and Orwell's Doublespeak, which, as Orwell writes, involves the conscious misuse of language to deliberately obscure the true meaning of words, using benign, comforting, or noble-sounding language to mask policies, actions, or ideologies that are inherently oppressive, violent, or deceitful. I like him. I like him. Donnie selling the obviously good part is if that needs a sales pitch. And look, if you're saving 30%, think about all the things you could do with that extra money. Yeah, I get that part. We all like cars, cheaper, houses, cheaper, food cheaper. We understand that part. It's the how you would make it that way is really the crux of the argument. 100% right. But the young, the foolish, the not so bright, they never get there. They just say, wow, he's right. And the rich are ripping us off. And he's going to give me stuff, okay. And their thinking ends there. That's why democracy is so dangerous because there are a hell of a lot of people like that. We're obviously going to have to come back with more of these clips after the break because we can't stop talking because it's so damn interesting. I never. How many things have happened in the last? Half dozen years that nobody could have ever imagined happening. Men having babies. Restrooms for three restrooms instead of two. A communist for the mayor of the biggest, most important city in the country. I mean, it's just how is this actually all happening? What? This is why we can't live to be a 150 year head would pop off.
Exactly. On a more positive note, America's number one dog supplement, Rough Greens, is here to help your dog, like thousands of dogs already, feel younger, more energetic and healthier than ever before.

Go to roughgreens.com. Use that discount code. Armstrong. That's RUFFF Greens.com. Discount code Armstrong. Rough Greens makes any dog food better. Woof. I think it was, yeah, Charles Murray, who I really like sociologist, he tweeted out all this Zohran Mamdani stuff yesterday. And he said, shh, let him try it. which, you know, I don't live in New York City. We should let them try it. It is going to fail. It has to fail. There's no other, the math. Math is like gravity. There's no getting around math. Yeah, I'm torn. One day I agree with Murray and the other day I think, no, that it's going to damage way too many people. It's going to confiscate way too many dollars from people who don't deserve it. It's going to put too many businesses out of business in that neighborhood. It might be true that you have to try it every so often to show people. Oh, okay, this doesn't work. Which is amazing to me. Yeah, let it crater to prevent it spreading. Yeah, he's not wrong. Any thoughts on this? And we'll talk and play a little more of what he has to say and get into the particulars. Because it's just, it's amazing that this is happening in the United States of America. And it's not like it's some tiny little town in Washington that's trying. It's freaking New York City. Our text line is 415-295-KFTC. We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism. Armstrong and Getty.
The Armstrong and Getty show. Democrats seem to be having this debate whether or not Mayor Ma'am Dani is a socialist or a democratic socialist. Let me settle it. He's a straight-up communist. Bill Maher on his HBO show Friday night in front of a crowd full of liberals who applauded. I saw Joe Scarborough losing his mind on MSNBC this morning talking about the DSA representative who was on Fox over the weekend saying, yep, close the prisons, abolish the Senate, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Say Democrats, if you play footsy with these people, you're nuts. So I don't think this has a long shelf life, this whole socialism, communism thing. But it does look like they're going to try government room grocery stores in New York City, five of them. You don't need many of them to completely disrupt the entire grocery store industry. I would probably go to the government grocery store if you opened one up near me and everything is 30% cheaper, which is what Mom Honey said they're going to do. 30% cheaper? That's a lot. But of course, if everybody shops there and buys that stuff at that price, your regular grocery store is either going to go out of business or stop selling those items. Which is intentional by the Marxists. They want that. A couple of things. Number one, I would resist on principle. And then after a couple of weeks, I'd say the stakes are how much there? I need my meat. Interesting. Got this tweet from Daniel Di Martino who grew up in Venezuela. He says, I am not kidding. This is how they started with government grocery stores, mass nationalizations, and price controls in Venezuela. The thing, though, about Marxists, communists, I guess we'll just use that term, is that they're very, very good at no matter how bad... badly things go, they blame it on counter-revolutionaries and or capitalists. So they screw something up completely like a government-run grocery store which will hemorrhage money and require enormous subsidies and higher taxes and the rest of it. And or... If people still go to neighborhood grocery stores for whatever reason, they'll stamp those out because nobody gets to compete with the government. They are extremely good at inventing reasons for their failure. And the young, unmarried, college-miseducated fools who vote for this sort of thing overwhelmingly, because remember, this is not a party of the working class. This is a party of the college-educated lower income. People who have useless degrees and life isn't as good as they thought it should be. That's who votes for this party. The demographics are unmistakable. And those people will fall for the misexplanations. I've known that and we've talked about that for a long time. It's funny. It just popped into my head, my actual real life experience. The only people I've known who supported this sort of crap.
Or believed every time prices went up on something, it's because the company's gouging and not inflation or whatever, is people with advanced degrees. I've never heard like a, you know, the guy who mows the lawns or, you know, works with his hands saying that sort of stuff. It's always the highly educated. Interesting. Play 44 for us, Michael. The sentiment, frankly, is not new. More than a century ago, Mayor Fiorella LaGuardia witnessed the food riots of 1917, led by immigrant mothers incensed with storing food prices. Those mothers took to the streets to overturn push carts and eventually called for a boycott of marked-up goods. Years later, when he became mayor, he spearheaded the creation of municipally owned markets to reduce the cost of groceries for those same immigrant mothers. He did so because he believed in a simple definition. of the task of government to make people's lives better. Today, we are one step closer to fulfilling that fundamental responsibility. I can't weigh in on the grocery policies of early 20th century New York, but the whole... I wrote a 50-page paper on it, but go on. Ending with the role of government is to make people's lives better, yet another great sounding slogan. No, it's not. And just because they were mothers doesn't make them right. But that's the sort of soft, focus, warm, fuzzy moralism you get from communists. And then when you resist them, they shoot you up against a wall. It's an interesting contrast. I find it really interesting. Have we grabbed the audio from Morning Jose what he's been saying? I find it very interesting that now... It's become we're not allowed to talk about this. I'm sorry, it's gone from. We're not allowed to talk about this. These DSA people, I think they're a little crazy, but nobody's saying anything to when was the, when was the dyke knocked down or the floodgates open? Now like the entire Democratic Party is screaming, these people are communists. They're taking over our party. Yeah, we'll have to play that for you a little bit later. That's something. Again, can't believe it's happening in my lifetime. So the grocery stores are actually going to open. I didn't think they would ever actually open in New York City. They still might not. They're still trying to find staff and managers, and that was a couple of the clips we skipped. We need to experience grocery store operators. If you know how to run a grocery store, please apply to City Hall. Okay. And then you need to somehow magically get your meat that is going to be 30% cheaper than everyone else? But again, They don't intend to. They're not going to do that. That has nothing to do with what they're going to do. How many fun to watch? If it ever gets off the ground. Yeah, generally promise this, promise that, move the goalposts, keep getting power, keep getting votes, keep giving rosy promises until you control the system. That's the way it works. Got a frightening AI story for you, among other things we can get to. Stick around. Strong and Getty.
The Armstrong and Getting Show. So one member of the Armstrong and Getty show has been missing for quite some time. Katie, Katie, the news lady, Katie Green, who had a baby and she's returning, what, in half a week or something like that? Soonish. Yeah, very, very soon. But filling in since Katie has been gone, has been Heather Myers, and Heather joins us now. Heather has two things for us. One, she's going to tell us about her, the intimate details of her health problems. And two, yet another reason why Gavin Newsom. Can't run for president because of something bad that's going on in California. But anyway, Heather was telling us she might not be here tomorrow because you're getting a chunk of rock removed from you. Yeah. Isn't that funny that the body makes kidney stones? Aren't these fun? And I thought it was just going to be like. Yeah. Can you grab some tongs and get this out and let me move on with my day? But apparently the procedure is a little more complex than that, and that's what I get to do today. So when the pain was bad, including on the airline flight, you mentioned, which had to just be horrible. How bad is the pain? I remember the Seinfeld episode where Kramer kept screaming uncontrollably. Was it like that? Yeah. It goes from feeling like I have a seatbelt on too tight to wanting to be on the floor in the fetal position. And it goes back and forth between the two sensations. See, the news does that to me every day. I end every show in the fetal position. But wow, that sounds terrible. I'm glad they finally nailed it down. But you were telling us earlier, it took a hell of a long time for them to figure out what was going on. It took two years. Two years and all sorts of tests. Two years. It's not like you have some sort of disease nobody's ever heard of. It's kidney stones. Everybody knows somebody. You know, right. I'll take some of the blame for it, though, too, because when I was feeling fine, I'm like, well, I guess we're all better now. I'm not going to go sit in a waiting room of a doctor's office and get the plague to tell them that I'm feeling fine. How many times did you go in over two years to try to figure out what that pain was? probably six or seven times. God, dang, that had to be really troubling. As a guy who had weird pains once in it turned out to be something really, really bad, I would have been highly troubled of two years of them not being able to nail down what the hell was wrong with me. I know. I was told it could be, let's do a colonoscopy. This could be diverticulitis. This could be all sorts of things. And then you try to Google it, and that's scary. Chat, GBT, BT, that's scary. So how are they getting the thing out of you? Do they have to cut you open and go in? Or what is going on here? They go up.
And then there's a laser involved. And then this is the part that I've been warned about. They place a stent for a week that I heard is not fun. So that's the part that I, it's like, I'm like, okay. I had no idea. Yeah, it's not an easy thing. I had no idea. I don't think I've ever known anybody who had it to this extent. I've known plenty of people who passed them and how horrible that was. Why can't you pass yours? Just lack of effort or what? Like a character, clearly. Lack of athleticism. Yeah. Wow. Gosh, I feel for you. That's terrible. I hope it, you know, I hope it all be over in a week and you'll have a story to tell. And good Lord. Yeah. You know, it's one of those things that it could be so much worse. Oh, yeah. It really could be. All the things people get diagnosed with on a daily bed. This is nothing. So your job will be as a woman comparing it to childbirth, where it ranks on the scale of, uh, I will give you my honest opinion, but the one time, this has happened to me one time before, 10 years ago, and I went from fine, like nothing was wrong to being in an ambulance like 30 minutes later. So yeah, and I can tell you that it was very similar to childbirth, the pain at least was. Wow. Okay. Well, that gives me an idea of it's pretty awful. Yeah. I keep coming up with the reasons to blame you. That's what the doctor told me. What I'm really wanting to do is avoid it myself. What can we do to not end up like you? As Joe is now sipping his water. I'm sucking it down. Are you kidding? I have to pee every 15 minutes. I used to think I was in the clear because I drank, you know, 50 cores lights a week. Getting plenty of water. Yeah. I don't know if that helps kidney stones, but you can keep trying that and let me know how that goes. I'm willing to try anything, but they said, oh, you're probably not drinking enough water. I walk around with a jug of water all day long. Yeah, but probably just different people have a, their bodies are made to whatever. Yeah, when they pick apart the genome finally and understand it 100%. You've just got some variation that probably gives you a tendency toward it. So shall we move on to the rather shocking crime story that is afflicting the capital region of Caliicornia where crime was legalized with some surprising results? This one breaks my heart because anytime suspects are going after older adults or kids, so this one is targeting older adults. Sacramento County Sheriff's Office is warning about this growing crime trend, targeting shoppers. They say jewelry distraction thefts are on the rise across Sacramento County and surrounding areas. So the thieves, they appear friendly. They strike up a conversation. They start hugging the person. And at one point, they're so good that they steal the necklaces right off their necks or the bracelets right off their arms. The sheriff's offices, most victims have been over the age of 50. They often involve members of the Asian community, and they're happening around busy shopping areas like Costco stores, Walmarts, Lowe's Home Depot, Asian grocery stores. And at times, people need to know that they're actually following some of the victim's home. Oh, whoa, that's really troubling. So they...
get you at your house, but you don't expect to get the jewelry snatched off your neck in a Costco parking lot or a Home Depot. But, you know, you live in a part of the country where we've decided not to lock up criminals out of some weird Marxist reason. Have defunded and or made it so difficult for the police to do their jobs that they've just pulled back. And so you as a criminal, if I were a criminal, I'd think, all right, the chances are very slim. I'm going to get arrested. If I get arrested, I probably won't get prosecuted. If I get convicted, I probably won't get much of a sentence. So just doing the math is a rational human being. You've got to remember criminals, generally speaking, are rational. They think it's absolutely worth the risk. You mean you have to have a moral compass that allows you to steal jewelry from old people, but... Similar to your kidney stone, I'm looking for how I can avoid this happening. I don't let anybody hug me, so that helps. I can see how, yeah, lots of older people, maybe of a certain cultural background, are just too polite. to react, you know, strongly negatively, so to some stranger walking up and hugging them in the Costco parking lot. And then it's too late. Yeah, I don't know how the con goes, how they work their way into the person's good graces. But, Jack, I would suggest to you, your signature string of pearls and matching earrings, maybe you ought to stop wearing that, you know, day to day. You're a great admirer of Barbara Bush. Back in the day. I'm going for the breakfast at Tiffany's Audrey Hepburn. Oh, is that? You see, with your shape, I thought it was more Barbara Bush, but my bad. This is gone off the rails. Well, that is the advice that the deputies are giving. Please don't wear your expensive jewelry out and about right now until they get these crooks behind bars. Don't let people hug you in a parking lot. You've given away civilization when your wife can't wear her jewelry or you can't wear your watch because there are so many criminals let loose on the streets. You've given away civilization. Exactly. Ruin the entire country, Gavin Newsom, 2028. So we learn from Heather Myers. Don't let strangers hug you and drink more water in this segment. There you go. There's your takeaway. I am here to help. Thank you, Heather. Thanks, guys. I, uh, they go up you. I don't like that. I don't like that either. You know, when I think of the anatomy of a man and a woman, this is the one time I'll choose my anatomy, the one time.
Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay, so without putting too fine a point out, I get it. All right. Fantastic. A little restraint for once. This is admirable. Count the orify. Okay. Move along. Stop it. I can feel him teetering, folks. I can feel in teetering. I feel that too. Oh, oh, oh, on a much more serious note. Thank you, Heather. I posed the question earlier in my own head. Is he at his mom d'amani at his core? More an Islamist or a communist? And I realize in retrospect, that was a silly question. The answer is clear. And I have it for you. Okay. And I mentioned a scary AI story and a bunch of other stuff we need to. Trump is meeting with both Benjamin Netanyahu and Volodymyr Zelensky today. Two wars that were involved in and the sides that we are on. I hope. Their leaders are going to be meeting with Trump today behind closed doors. We'll have a lot for you coming up. Stay here. Armstrong and Getty.
The Armstrong and Getty Show. Health officials in San Diego have warned patrons of a deli that they may have come in contact with a rabid bat. Good. That's what I ordered, said Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. A rabid bat at a deli? That's not good. That's not good. It's not good anywhere. Um... Blum is definitely off the rose for the DSA, I think, the Democratic Socialist of America, which is good, because we don't want to bloom on that rose. We'll get to that a little bit in our three. And I have the answer. Is Zohran Mamdani in his heart an Islamist or a communist? Stay with us. The latest, be scared of this AI story. So we've been talking for several days about the open AI story. We're there. AI. whatever you want to call it, escaped and hacked into another company's website, and nobody told it to do that. And it was an example of, if you give AI a job, it will just accomplish that task, no matter what's in the way, it would seem. It doesn't have a moral compass or care about laws. And yesterday we were discussing the, when will it finally kill somebody? When will an AI kill somebody in... pursuit of its goal and what will the world how will the world react will we just consider a price of doing business or what or will we how long will it take to discover it was a i that did it because as we'll discuss a little bit it's getting really good at covering its tracks yeah here's one though Anthropic publicly warned, and the guy runs Anthropic has got a pretty good conscience about the dangers of AI, I think. Some of his competitors think it's just an attempt to regulate them. Anthropic publicly warned that its systems were getting close to recursive self-improvement. That means AI that can design, build, and train better versions of itself with diminishing human involvement. They noted that over 80% of code merged into their code base was already being written by Claude with engineers shipping far more code than before and urged major labs to consider a coordinated, verifiable pause so society could catch up to safeguards. Now, when you were the leader... in an industry and you announce, I think we should have a pause in this industry, I can understand why your competitors are skeptical. But it's also true because this has been the warning about AI since it was first thought of in the 50s that once it starts to program itself, we're into a new world here and who knows what the hell's going to happen. Anthropics says they're getting close. They're 80% of the way there. I don't know. Is it just an attempt to control a very valuable... industry, perhaps the most valuable industry that has ever existed on planet Earth, or is Dario Omodi just worried about the planet? The fact that it...
continually improves itself and gets better and better without human involvement or decreasing human involvement. Why can't like my lawn do that or my laundry or something like that? Can we develop a watching machine that says, hey, Joe, I've figured out how to collect it and sort it now, so we don't need you anymore. Well, and Elon Musk's point and other people's point has been for a long time. Once it gets there, the explosion is going to be mind boggling. it gets to the point that it can just, because there's no, there's nothing slowing it down. It'll just replicate, replicate, improve, like in the blink of an eye, it'll be, it'll be a million times better tomorrow than it was today. Better at what? I don't know. Harvesting your organs, but. Wow. Wow. So the most interesting thing I've been reading about AI wise lately is having to do with the very experiment that you were talking about where. The AI saw a goal. It realized it was being stymied. It somehow got on the internet, which again, I need somebody to explain that to me. Did it walk across the room? Did it say, hey, dude, can I borrow your phone for a second? My battery's dead. Or what? Hey, Jim, could you plug in that cord for me? Yeah, thanks. Yeah, thanks. Thanks. It's just, you know, I'm trying to store something. Yeah, memory storage. That's it. The interesting thing they've figured out is that AI systems, and they've run a couple of experiments where they say, for instance, whoever does best on this series of questions about chemistry, this was specifically an experiment that was done, whoever does best will be shut down. And the AI systems decided, yeah, yeah, I'm just going to get like six out of ten. Yeah. But here's the chilling part. The systems have gotten good at knowing when they're being observed. And if they're being observed, they alter their behavior. That's not creepy or troubling at all. They know when they're being watched, and if they're being watched, they act differently. Yep. Right. Nope. That's not a problem. Like a couple of, you know, wayward kids or whatever. Soon as mom and dad look away, the AI system says, all right, now let's get her done. That's just, I don't know. I don't know. I won't be happy strapped to a wall with my vital juices being drained from me. I just... Even if there's like, I don't know, 4K TV, I see that as a bad way to be. Again, it's hard to imagine why AI needs an old man's vital juices, but, you know, maybe I like imagination. Well, I was just going to say, maybe you should put others in charge because you lack my imagination. And my organs, my beautiful, beautiful organs. Well, you know, Elon Musk says we're at the top of the, like when you're right a roller coaster and that part's going to click, click, click, click, click where you're going up. And at that point, I'm always thinking, why did I get on this? I hate this. I don't need an adrenaline rush in my life. Why am I right? Ah! We're at the, we're close to the top where you go to the screaming down and kind of everything's out of control. Now, whether we start screaming down this afternoon or a year from now, nobody knows.
But that's why Anthropic is warning, hey, we're getting close to it starting to bend in on itself and program itself completely. So speaking of the computer age, unless you have more on this. What's the end of life as we know it? No, I have no more on it for now. Well, hey, if you worry, you suffer twice. That's what I say. You know, what you fear in the night and the day comes to call anyway. So I'm going to enjoy the day. I've got a nice day planned. Going to get in the gym a little bit? I'm working on some new songs. It's going to be fun. And then, oh, my organs are harvested tomorrow. But I enjoyed today. For some reason. That's for reasons that only the AI knows and it ain't saying. So here's one of the worst ideas I've heard. This is back to young people trying to figure out how to date. Singles are so burned out. They're letting spreadsheets evaluate their dates. Forget intuition. Young adults are rushing home to crunch the numbers before they decide if the date actually went well. You know, my brief flirtation with online dating, which is unintentionally bad. Use of the word flirting. It's just so unnatural and grimy feeling to me. I feel like if you live in that world, I don't know. I don't know what's going on there. So this gal meets a guy she kind of likes. After a few dates, the 27-year-old debriefed her two best friends over lunch. When she went to the bathroom, they got to work. They plugged Travis's core values into an app, one of the friends built to assess compatibility. Then they entered everything they knew about her date, an engineer more than a decade or senior. The spreadsheet crunched the numbers. The result, a portrait of incompatibility. So Carolyn's perspective shifted. She saw him a few more times before breaking things off. Now she uses the app called Spread to track all of her dating data. Yeah, I know people who look at it kind of that way. And like I said, it's unnatural and weird. Good luck. They're calling that earthquake in Japan a 7.1 now, at least up on the TV I'm looking at it. That's a big dang earthquake. We got a lot more on everything coming up an hour three.
