Look, There' a Squirrel! · Armstrong & Getty One More Thing

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Look, there's a squirrel. Look, there's a squirrel. Look, there's
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: another squirrel. A squirrel. It's one more thing. Armstrong and Getty.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: One more thing.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: An intriguing tease.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Booyah.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: We got this text. I just wanted to follow up.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: We were having a conversation at the end of the
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: radio show, Armstrong and Getty. It's a radio show, if
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: you didn't know that. And you can find all the, well,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: you probably know that. You found this, Armstrong and Getty
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: On Demand. But we're talking about books and reading them.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: And Joe said he's into paper books.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: And I.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Exclusively read on my phone or on a Kindle.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: And then we decided we can't be friends anymore because
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: everything's got to be bipolar in the modern world.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: And then somebody texted about audio books saying they tried
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: audio books, but they get zero retention. With an actual book,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: their retention is much, much greater. I don't have that problem.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I don't have that problem.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've read studies to that effect, too. It's not universal,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, everybody.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Learning styles and that sort of thing.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I don't, I don't think it is because I, I
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: always liken it to college. One of the reasons I
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: always went to class, if I go to the lecture
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: and listen to it, it's in my brain and I'm good.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I'm good to go for the test. If I have
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: to read it, I might be tired or distracted or might,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: might sink in. It might not, but whatever reason. So
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: audio books work great for me, but that sucks if
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: you can't do it.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would. I remember thinking as a teenager, I
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: literally could not understand how somebody who could forget. Something
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that the teacher explained to us quite clearly in class.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: And there it is on the board. I don't understand
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: how you'd forget that. And it's not character. It's nothing
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I earned. It's a genetic... It's like being tall. Tall
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: people shouldn't get any credit for that either. But yeah,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the more you learn about learning styles, the more interesting
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a topic it is to me. But I've forgotten everything
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I've learned about learning styles.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Oh my God. Helping my kids with the various schoolwork.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Like my son's taking... um, some biology and some math
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: freshmen in high school. And I got to go back
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: to the beginning of the chapter and read like the
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: most basic stuff. I have zero recall on some of
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the most basic stuff.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I know. That's why in the military you train
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and you retrain and you retrain and you retrain, keep
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: it all fresh. Uh, my brother, the submarine guy who's
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: talked about that a fair amount.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Um, Look, a squirrel.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Fire drills, that sort of thing. Oh, yeah, the squirrel thing.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Oddly enough, I was distracted. So I love and hate
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Jonah Goldberg as a writer. Very smart, interesting perspective. Some
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: of his books, The Death of the West, that was Jonah, right?
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: And Liberal Fascism, I think, was. I need to go
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: back to some of them. Absolutely wonderful writer, but oh,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: my God, is he wordy. His columns are practically unreadable.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: He will have a reasonably simple premise, and he'll write
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: beautifully about it for like, you know, I don't know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: 1,500 words. But there will be 4,500 other words about this, that,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the other, tangents, reflections, unnecessary repetitions. Oh, my God, he
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: needs an editor. But he's a brilliant man. He also
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: tweets about his dogs way too much.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Well, it's getting personal.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Nobody cares, Jonah. You love your dog.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I tweeted out a picture.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: You should love your dogs. Well, you're wrong, Kitty.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I tweeted out a picture of an ice cream cone
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: last night. I mean, come on.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Internet slop. Now, you tweet me a picture of
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a dog eating that ice cream cone, then you've got something.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I swear, I look at that ice cream cone. I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: can feel like a sugar crash coming on, like psychosomatically.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: How weird is that? Anyway.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I didn't feel great afterwards, I'll admit.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: So Jonas writing an unnecessarily long and complicated column about
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: being tired, and he points out it's not from his job.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: It's not like he chops wood or clears boulders from fields.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: He sits and writes and types and reads and stuff
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: like that. But he says it's that he has a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: hard time turning off his brain. And he writes, I
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: think that maybe that's the one reason people are so tired.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: You know, people don't sleep enough, too. We take in
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: too much entertainment. But he says, we increasingly live in
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: an attention economy, and paying attention to things can be exhausting.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: So can having your attention to one thing constantly be
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: disturbed by other things demanding your attention. Big chunks of
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: our days are like playing that old game Operation, trying
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: to use tweezers to remove a liver or spleen without
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: lighting up the patient's nose, while people are saying, did
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you hear what Trump said? Look at this video of
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a puppy sleeping with a monkey. Here's how you can
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: use Claude to organize your closet. Ha ha ha ha.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: The news and media outfits, pretending to be in the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: news business, is full of stuff demanding not only to
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: pay attention to it, but worry about it. Once Claude
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: organizes your closet, it will destroy humanity. Tics are not
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: only coming, they'll make you allergic to cheeseburgers, etc., etc.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I think he's absolutely right. Human beings were not built
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to process this.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: No. Tying it back into reading, for some reason I don't,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: have the same feeling in my brain when I'm reading
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: a long form book. If I do that for 20
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: minutes that I have from scrolling crap for 20 minutes.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: So there's something different going on neurologically.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: You read long form stuff more often than I do.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So your answer may be different, but how long does
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it take you? to get into, I'm reading a book mode.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Not right now. Nothing immediately. Cause I've been doing it
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: long enough, but when I first picked up literature again
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: or long form books, a couple of years ago, it
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: was hard. So hard. But luckily I'm back in the groove,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: like going to the gym and I don't want to
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: let it go again because right now I can pick
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: up a big thick book and sit down and start
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: reading immediately. And it's not hard.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: It's funny. You should use the gym metaphor. Cause I
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: was just going to say, I feel like I, I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: have to get loose for golf. Um, I have to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: like get warmed up to read books because I spend
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: five minutes, maybe even 10 minutes thinking I want to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: distract myself. I want to distract myself.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: And my problem my kids have is I don't know
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: that they've ever had the feeling that I've gotten back
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: of being able to sit there and read like, you know,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: a 50 page chapter of a book. I don't know
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: if they've ever had that feeling. So they don't even
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: know what they would be getting back to.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Then one other thing Jonah brings up is
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the concept of if you wanted a distraction. And he says,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I'd pick up a magazine and thumb through it. And
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: it occurred to me as I read that, that's right.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you would have to look, often you would have
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to look for a distraction.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Sitting around a doctor's office killing time. I guess I'll
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: read this Reader's Digest. I don't have any interest in. Right, right.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: That is not a problem anymore.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Try to do the maze for kids. Too easy. You
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: just go around to the right right there. I mean,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: what are you, blind? Stupid kids.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: The maze for kids.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, I need a distraction.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's funny. Like you'd trace it around the circle.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Ah, dead end. Ah, I suck at this. Damn it.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: It seems so promising.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Fooled again. Yes.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: It's a metaphor for life, son. Trust me. Yeah, yeah. Okay,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: now then Jonah gets back to being a really good writer,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: which he definitely is. But he says, now if I
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: want to do the digital equivalent, there's a good chance
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I'll have to re-sign into the website, but I won't
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: remember my password, so I'll have to create a new one.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and have a temporary password emailed to me, at which
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: point I would have to answer the Sphinx's three questions.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Or if I'm lucky enough to avoid that, I'll get
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: hit with a video I don't want to watch and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: have to figure out how to turn it off. Or
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: if I get halfway through an article, I might need
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to click on the click here to read more button,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: which I only realized I scrolled past when I started
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: reading an advertorial about managing, of all things, my cortisol levels.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Oh my God, I did that the other day. And
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: then you go to the email to reset your password,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: and you say, oh, God, I got a bunch of
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: emails here from work or teachers or whatever. I better
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: look at those.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Hey, does anybody know, and tech guys, I'm sure, know
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: they're like, of course I know, but what the hell's
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the deal with the read more button?
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: You get an extra click.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an extra click, and usually it'll open up
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: a separate tab so you have two of them going
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: at once, and then you leave that one in the
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: background running for an extended.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Period of time.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Sometimes not, but I assume either way you get an
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: extra click out of the deal.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Clickonomics is so, so fraudulent. That's why she'd
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: only buy podcast advertising.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Actually, I came across a good story about that, how
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: local newspapers fell for Clickonomics, and it didn't make any sense,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: and it's too bad they destroyed themselves. Maybe I'll get
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: to that on the radio show, because it's really interesting.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: They were really, really misled. Clickonomics works for major publications,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: but for small newspapers, it didn't work at all. But
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I'll explain that on the radio show on Thursday, right? Thursday, yeah.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: On Friday.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: My thing with the distraction, and I have to remind
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: myself of this every day. I've talked about this several times.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Speaking of being in the doctor's office and like, geez,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: there's a magazine. I don't even read people, but I'll
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: flip through it.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: That's why their marriage didn't work.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Bruce Springsteen had a song.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: He was selfish.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Bruce Springsteen had a song in the early 90s, 57
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Channels and Nothing On, and we all had that experience of,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: how do I have 80 channels and I'm flipping through nothing, nothing,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: nothing I'm interested in? And it's the opposite now, and
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I have to remind myself of that on a regular basis.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: that the algorithms know what I'm interested in. Every option
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: on this Instagram feed right now, or YouTube feed, is
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: interesting to me. Either, like, legitimately interesting from a learning standpoint,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: or entertaining. It's music I like, it's a comedian I like,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: it's a TV clip I like, whatever. And it could
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: feed me stuff that is grade A quality entertainment.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Perpetually. That's what I got to remind myself all the time. You,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I have to be the gatekeeper on that. I'm not
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: going to run out because I remember the day of
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: flipping through the channels, nothing worth seeing. Now everything is
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: worth seeing. It knows what I like and it gives
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: me an endless supply of it, which is weird, but yeah,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: it's just like food.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Exactly. It's like food.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: We're built to not pass up food because we have
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: no idea when we're going to be able to bring
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: down the next elk or whatever. Um, and obviously that's
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: no longer the case. So it is with entertainment and,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm a big advocate, as you know, for
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: spacing out, for just watching nature, unplugging your brain to
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: keep from going completely insane. I'm going to start my
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: colony in the woods. We may or may not be naked.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: This is all in the planning stages. Um, but yeah,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: such a big believer.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: That was a left turn.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: It's, um, it's nature. It's natural.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Now this is big. It's his big plan.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: And I pledged not.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: To sex up the young women. Right.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: It's a good pledge. Well, we're going to find out
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: what this does to our brain. It's all so new.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: We don't have the research yet. We don't have the data.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: We don't have the data on people like my kids
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: who started their lives with this pace of dopamine hits.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: And it's going to take quite a few decades and
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: generations to get to where we can do studies on this.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: But like my kids... walk around with at least one
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: ear pod in, listening to music while they're having conversations.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: And so do all their friends. They never don't have,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: there's a triple negative, I think, stimulus going into their brain,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: including while they're getting stimulus. Yeah, right. And I can't
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: imagine what that's doing to the wiring of their brains.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: The person that checks you out, if they're under the
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: age of 25, checks you out at the store. If
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: you see them turn their head, they got an earpiece in.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: They're listening to something while they're talking to you and
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: doing their job.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess we'll all find out together how good
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: an idea that is.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: There'll all be stark raving lunatics roaming across the plains,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: stabbing each other or something.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I suspect so.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: They go crazy.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: So just to backtrack a little bit, because I think
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: these went away mostly during after COVID, but don't touch
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: the magazines in the waiting room.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: What are you doing?
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: You're in the waiting room to see a doctor. Everybody's sick.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Everybody's sick. Yeah. And you touch their germ mags. I'm
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: surprised they still have magazines because everybody's got a phone.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Right. They do. They do. I never worry about stuff
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: like that for some reason.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: I didn't worry about it until it was brought to
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: my attention, and I went, oh, my God, you're right.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Which is how you got gonorrhea that second time.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's my story, and I'm sticking with it.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Waiting room magazine sickness.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Speaking of gonorrhea and not sexing up young women and
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: that sort of thing, I can't remember. Have I had
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: this conversation on the air or just off the air?
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: About your clout. I think we've taken this running joke
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: too far.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Stings so much.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Stings so much.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I actually said to my wife yesterday, and I'm not
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: happy about this exactly because it includes admitting that I
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: am an older fellow at this point. But one of
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the few really good aspects of it is I can
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: interact with business, personal, whatever, attractive young women, and they
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: don't assume I'm hitting on them.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, I agree. We can just relate to each other
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: as human beings.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: And it's great.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I like that, too.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: There's none of that defensiveness or weird, you know, frankly,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: if she thought if she wanted to, I would do it.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: You know, just that, that dynamics gone and it's liberating
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and it's fun.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I agree. I like it too. And I remember observing
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: that when I was younger, you know, attractive young women
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: talking to old men, they don't feel threatened. And they,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: you know, in the way they're talking to those of
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: us who were younger guys who were, you know, possible mates. Uh, yeah,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I like that too. It was nice. It is liberating. Yeah.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Does it work the other way, Katie, or no? I
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: don't know if it works the other way. Yeah, I
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: would think so. You talk to old men and they
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: don't have to worry about their head? I don't know
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: if it works that way. I don't know. I always, well,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: this is a different question. I got it backwards. I
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: did the same thing. So it would be, well, you're
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: not old enough to know. Older women talking to younger men. Yeah,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: it doesn't work because I can't ask you because you're
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: not old enough.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Well, the younger men are thinking she's a cougar. She
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: wants to jump my bones.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: It's like the opposite. Gotcha. It's almost as if men
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: and women are different.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Although I do have the, I have said before that
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I've reached the age where, uh, I can tell him
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: being humored a lot and I don't like that. Oh,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: you gotta be nice to him. He's old. That's just Jack.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: He's an old guy.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: Good old Jack.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: We'll listen to his story or laugh at his joke.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Cause he's old. Or they'd talk louder. Cause I think
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: I can't hear.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for patronizing me.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I had one more instance of that the other day
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: where somebody gave me and I gave you the senior discount.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: So that saved you a dollar. Screw you. You think
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: you did me a favor just telling me that you
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: think that made my day better. How do you think
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: that made my day better? You telling me you're so
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: obviously over this age, whatever it is. Here's your dollar.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I'd rather you keep the dollar and let me keep
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: my illusion that I'm not obviously to everyone the age
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: you're describing.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: So, A, I'm old, and B, I'm desperate for a dollar.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: A dollar. Which back when I was a young man
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: could have took me and my sweetheart forever. to the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Cinebubbleplex and bought us a popcorn as well.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Who says I'm happy to be insulted for a dollar?
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: An insult that I'll think about all day. For one dollar,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: that's a fair trade. That's a steal.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Hey, do you have an ugly discount? How about a
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: stupid dollar off? Will you give me a buck off
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: because I'm so damn stupid, too?
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: You don't like the way I dress? Here's 50 cents. Bastards.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: This will be the year I get a metal detector
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: for Christmas.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I just know it.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I guess that's it. Seriously, though, thanks for the dollar
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: for something that now I will think about for the
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: next hour.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: So that saved you a dollar.
