• 1:22
  Speaker 2: for a reality show. I think that that are going
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: to be caused for like a defense and spousal homicide.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: You did what?
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I was watching Glen Gary Glenn Ross the other night,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the movie and Alec Baldwin when he was skinny and
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: serious and uh, you know, hot young sex symbol guy.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: He is so freaking good in that movie. But watching that,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you know, always be closing first prize, New Cadillac, second prize,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: set of State Knives, third prize, You're fired. He is
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: so good in that, but to watch him and think
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be a fat comedian in a couple of
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: decades is really interesting.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: Yes, uh, Katie, No, Alec Baldwin for me, I try
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: to not allow politics to, you know, get in the
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: way of like entertainment for me. Me too, listening to
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: him and knowing how he thinks has completely ruined him
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: for me.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I get zero joy out of Alec.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Ba I come across all the week, I come across
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: a thirty rock. I can still enjoy him. He is
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: so funny on that show. There's somebody else like that,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: though that Their politics make me so angry. I can't
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: enjoy them anymore. Bruce Springsteen ruined himself for me. I
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: just I can't take it. That's a tough one. That's
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: a tough one.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: One of my favorite bands in the world is Green
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Day and the lead singer, Billy Oh I just he
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: just drives me nuts.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: That might be the perfect one. My youngest loves Green
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Day and Jam's Green Day all the time, and all
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I can think of him is him saying various things. Whatever,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you idiot.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Yep, great music, Keep your mouth shut.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Alec and Hilario Baldwin. So you got that whole angle
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of it that her name is what Hillary? She's from Boston,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: but she claims she's She told Alec I think married
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: her thinking she was Italian or Spanish or whatever.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Hularious slice the how you say, cucumber, you're an American?
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I do a lot about that.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, is that gonna be? You're prominently in their show.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: And then you're right about so not only being in Hollywood.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: He doesn't realize I don't want my kid to be
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: in show business. He's gonna put seven of his kids
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: in show business basically by being on a reality show.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's child's abuse.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: It really is for the money, for the enjoyment, for
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the for the for the to keep his name in
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the news. That's a good question. I can't imagine why
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: he's doing it.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: There's been plenty written on the topic of all kids
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: want to be famous now right, even more than like rich,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: They just want to be famous. If there was any
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: you know, logic, wisdom, sanity in the world, people would
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: look at fame as the highly unfortunate byproduct of success
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: in certain fields. It'd be like black lung is for
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: coal miners. You know, it's it's unfortunate and we'll try
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: to avoid it, but it could happen in this business.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: People don't understand what fame is.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: It's terrible, nothing good.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: No, that would be a great use of AI is
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: to be able to simulate fame for like a day
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: and let them live through that to change their.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: What a cool idea.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: So I'll probably watch at least in episode or two
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of the Alec Baldwin Hilario Baldwin shown report back. I
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: wanted to get this on before we call it good.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: This is out of Great Britain. I don't know how
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: similar the numbers would be for Americans. Probably not that
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: different because our cultures are pretty similar. A quarter of
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: adults are unable to ride a bicycle well that seem high.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: A new survey Reveals pulled twenty our two thousand Brits
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and found that twenty four to seven percent, so a
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: quarter of Brits lacked the skill to ride a bicycle.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: These are all round the slightest idea.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say, these are all the kids that
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: were on their tablets growing up, right, because they're eighteen
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: now technically adult.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: You didn't push your kid to ride a bike.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: In my world, of course, growing up, it's it would
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: be unthinkable if somebody said, no, I can't ride a bike.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I would It would take a minute to comprehend it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Have you tried. I mean it's not that hard. You
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: get the hang of it really quickly.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: If there was one person in all of my social
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: circle that didn't know how to bike ride a bike
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: in my life, I'd have been surprised one, let alone
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a quarter.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: That's how we all got around.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Well, percentage of people can't swim. I got that for
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: you too, Actually, oh you do well.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I know about you guys.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: But I started with the training wheels, and then there
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: was a big day when you were getting the training
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: wheels taken off and dad was pushing the bike behind
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: you and he let go and then you were taking
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: off on yourself.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite stories with Sam that he
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: still tells me to this day is as an overprotective parent,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I waited way too long to take his training wheels off, apparently,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and he'd been wanting him off, and I just thought
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: he wasn't ready for it yet, and I was gonna
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I took him off, and I said, Okay, I gotta
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: go in the house. I gotta get I gotta get this.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I want to get back with my camera. So just
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: wait for me, because I thought he was gonna have
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: to run along beside him, and he was going to
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: fall over a couple of times, and it was gonna
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: be you know. Anyway, I came back out, he was
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: just riding all over the neighborhood like crazy.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong snowplow parent.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, troubling, exactly.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Take your calls, criticized Jack, Well, he was seventeen.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was heading off into the military, and I thought,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: you need to know how to ride a bike. So
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: among those who can't ride a bike, twenty two percent
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: expressed a desire to learn, but feel it's too late
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: to pick up the skill.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Trust me, it's not. If you're bouncing off the pavement
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: as an adult is a very different experience then when
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: you're a kid and all your bones bend.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Uh. But you have the desire to ride a bike?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Did you have the desire when you're younger? Then why
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: didn't you just jump on a bike and ride it?
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: For crying out? I can't imagine. I've always thought that
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of not being able to ride a bike
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: when you're little is just, you know, you're kind of
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: wobbly in general when you're little. If you've never been
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: on a bike and you're fifteen, is there anything keeping
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you from just getting on and riding off? Or is
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: it a skill you have to No?
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I would you know how you can like have one
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: foot on a pedal and one foot down and kind
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: of scoot. Yeah, just do that and pick your foot
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: up for a few seconds. Get the feel all right,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: you start to go over, put your foot down, now
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: do that again. The average fifteen year old could learn
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: how to ride a bike in ten minutes like that.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I think too. The research also shed
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: light on other activities that Brits struggle with. Now, some
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: of these are dumb, only half of a BRIT's can rollerblade.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Well I don't know, so.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine a life without rollerblade.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: You can roller blade, but you can't ride a bike. Uh,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: only twenty eight percent of Brits can swim, it says
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: only twenty eight can Right, they're.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Surrounded by water, it's an island.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I just like I said, I'll bet these numbers
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: aren't that much different than the United States. Maybe I'm wrong.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: I don't understand how people can't swim.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I don't either.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I think maybe it has to do with the fact
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: that we all grew up in fairly similar circumstances. I mean,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: just broadly similar circumstances in which the culture was your
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: kid ought to know how to swim. There are urban cultures,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: for instance, where that doesn't really exist. Nobody thinks of it.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: But I've seen those horrific videos of people who are
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: in the process of drowning and then they be saved,
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: And I've never been able to wrap my mind around
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: how they can't run spread water, Like, what's the disc
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: connect there? Right, that's just movement? Yeah, and it's not
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: and it doesn't even take that much huh huh.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: You know, I complain a lot about the Internet and tech,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: but I do appreciate the fact that I can type
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: what percentage of Americans can swim? And it knows what
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I'm trying. Let's see, apparently the Internet has hung out
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: with me when I'm drunk. It has learned has learned
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: to decode my slurrings.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Joe's drunk again?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: What aler setage? Veric is dot? You think can swim?
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: According to our website, oh this is a Red Cross survey,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: eighty percent report they can swim. In reality, only fifty
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: six percent can perform the five basic skills required for
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: safe swimming.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: What are the five basic skills? Does it list them?
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I would guess it starts with not drowning?
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, keeping your head above water. Seems like we really.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Have to read this and who has the time? No,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: the Red Cross can't use my freaking location? What do
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: you need to know where I am for?
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: I go to Google agg and this article says the
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: six basic needs for sure, Let's left.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: The one out.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Here's your water competency. According to the Red Cross, the
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: skills performed in a sequence include being able to step
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: or jump into water over your head, can return to
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: the surface, and float or tread water for one minute.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: One minute.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, rotate in a full circle and find an exit.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Swim twenty five yards to that exit, and five exit
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: from the pool. If in a pool, be able to
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: exit without using the ladder. Okay, okay, that's that's all
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: legit for for swimming pool safety.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, yeah, you ought to be able to get out. Uh,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: this is back to riding a bike and then we'll
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: finish on this. Of those unable to ride a bike,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: sixteen percent attributed their hesitance to fear of falling off
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: only sixteen percent. So you're not worried about falling off,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: but you have another reason that you can't ride a bike.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: The hell would that be? That's odd afraid.
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: It will explode. Yeah, I don't afraid I'll ride off
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: the edge of the earth. Fourteen percent admitted to feeling
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: too embarrassed to learn as an adult. Half believe they
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: lack the necessary skills.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Or there's the percentage of them that are from Lochland
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: and their bike got stolen.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah they don't have a well he oh for worry
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: about embarrassing themselves in the process of learning.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what, I have my new calling I'm
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: going to teach adults how to ride bikes.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: This is my U.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: This is my new purpose in life.
• 11:58

  Speaker 5: Teaching adults to ride bikes is gonna be your your thing.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: That's on hell of a dream, Joel. You'll ride around
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: the van and bike shirts and the helmet looking like
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: a mantis, finding adults who can't ride bikes and saving
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: them from that situation.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll have the bike on top of the van
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: like I'm an exterminator. Yeah, yeah, this is this is
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: a beautiful I can see your TV ad.

• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Are you and you're afraid to ride a bicycle? Come
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: down to pedals to glory, yes, wheels something.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: And then the ad ends with you watching an adult
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: ride off for the first time, in tears streaming down
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: your cheeks because you're so happy that you taught it.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Yet another adult ride.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: It's a little over the top, but this is the
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: age of hyperbole, so I think it's uh. This was
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Homer Simpson riding a bike. I am in betable, in benable.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: That's the way my motorcycle went the other day. Well,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I guess that's it.
