2026 Midterms: Mail-In Voting Drops, AI Predicts Death & Brain Health Risks | TMI Ep 470 · The TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan

0:00
Hey, hey, hey. Hello. It is Thursday, October
0:02
22nd. I'm Manila Chan. That be Ted Rall. You're
0:05
tuned in to the Ted Manila information show TMI
0:07
show for short because we bring you way too much
0:09
information. Apparently with the new segment we're
0:12
doing Rall on the road. That's right. Where in
0:18
the world is Ted Rall? That's the big question.
0:21
That's between the drone operator
0:24
and his god. You mean Pete Hegseth? Exactly. Have
0:29
it in good authority that he's here in Montana.
0:32
He takes it. No, you oh do. Spiritually, I'm always
0:42
in Montana. I would never be the peddler of fake
0:46
news. No. No, that would totally be that would
0:50
be that would be a moral and wrong. Thank you
0:54
everybody for joining us. Robby, please see the
0:57
telegram. There's a rumble went and made some
1:00
stupid changes again because why not? Why not
1:06
if you're gonna be if you're gonna go from being
1:08
a video platform or streaming platform to an
1:12
AI platform. Why not just wreck everything along
1:15
the way? Why not Ted? It's yeah. Well, it's it's
1:20
it might be artificial, but it's not intelligence.
1:23
This this is not yeah, I think they are way behind
1:26
on the intelligence thing. Ted, I'm
1:31
not saying all Canadians, but us Americans,
1:36
we like to joke about the Canadians and the founders
1:38
are Canadian. That's a street yard thing that
1:42
you're looking at there. That's not a rumble
1:47
thing. No, my dear. That's me logging into rumble
1:50
and going into our... That's me going into rumble
1:54
so I can chat with the Rumblers. That was showing
1:58
up on the rumble. That makes zero sense. I don't
2:04
know, but I'm saying Rumble is not, Rumble is
2:07
not good right now with all their changes. So
2:12
they made some other backend changes that you
2:15
guys may or may not be seeing and things may
2:17
or may not be uniform. So just FYI, it's not,
2:21
maybe not. I fixed this already. Hold on. I'll
2:24
fix it again. Rumble, stop being gay. This is
2:27
it's a rumble thing, so this is that's why for
2:30
all of you guys on YouTube being
2:33
Why are you on YouTube? I know it's the devil,
2:37
but where else are we supposed to go? Mean
2:42
that's it so which we tried we tried to be on
2:46
Russian media, and they wouldn't let us even
2:48
do that. Yeah, now and now the Canadians aren't
2:51
treating us very well. Well, at
2:55
least that's deserved. Well, yeah, yeah,
2:59
but that's retribution for what a fearless leader
3:02
dear dear leader Donald is doing to we have it
3:05
coming. That's for sure. Oh, there you go. So
3:08
we'll bear with us. We'll try to work through
3:10
it. So you guys are watching a live it is live.
3:12
It's Thursday the 22nd. It's 10 of 5 or
3:16
10 of 6 so bear with us. This is the second time
3:20
I've fixed this today. Rumbles has been exceptionally
3:22
gay. No, you're supposed to say they're being
3:26
exceptionally Canadian. There's maybe some difference
3:33
not a lot. You don't know any Canadians. I've never
3:38
met a straight Canadian. Oh I have never met
3:43
a gay Canadian. Yeah, I've not no that's not
3:46
true. I know a couple gay Canadians. That's
3:48
not true. But Justin Trudeau apparently did you
3:52
guys see last week while we were out Justin Trudeau's
3:55
former staffers were pulling Joe Biden staffer
3:59
moves where they were leaking about how it was
4:02
working for him. Do you guys see that? No. What
4:05
did they have to say? There's jealous because
4:07
he's banging on a pop star. That's all that is.
4:10
I don't know. Well, did they, was he, did they
4:14
say he was the Amy Klobuchar of Canadian men
4:17
or was they saying he was a sweetheart like George
4:20
W. Bush? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. George W.
4:24
Bush had a great reputation as an employer. Right
4:27
as being the boss, but Trudeau apparently
4:31
was ultra ultra crazy politically correct
4:36
and would cry in meetings and get misty eyed
4:39
about. That's a problem because
4:43
that would make his blackface run. I know apparently
4:47
he would always cry and get upset if people misgendered
4:51
or he'd cry. Yeah, so he pulled the Amy Klobuchar
4:56
on people not doing trans right stuff,
5:03
huh? It's out not doing and such a will strange.
5:12
All right. Well, yeah, we should get to it. I
5:16
have a heart out at 11. So let's get this
5:19
Ralls on the road. Ralls on the road. That's right
5:26
All right. So the first story we got up. So Ted
5:30
fewer Americans plan to cast their mail-in ballot
5:34
or absentee ballots this year. How about that
5:37
and the drop? When previous then
5:42
that was a presidential election, of course,
5:44
that's normal previous midterms, okay,
5:49
and the drop is especially pronounced among Democrats
5:53
who are voting via USPS according to a poll released
5:57
yesterday by Pew Research. The shift comes after
6:01
years of President Trump's assaults on mail-in
6:04
ballots or mail-in votes. The president himself
6:06
has voted by mail, but he has, without any evidence,
6:10
repeatedly condemned the practice as vulnerable
6:11
to election fraud, which I don't know that there's
6:14
no evidence. Donald Trump just isn't good at
6:17
citing it. There's some. Look, I think
6:23
there's common sense. Speculation that one could imagine if they can steal my rent check
6:32
from the mail as they did steal your vote out
6:34
of the mail. But there is no evidence that it
6:37
has ever occurred or if you're a significant
6:41
basis if you're Riverside County in California
6:44
Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco, you just go in
6:48
and steal all the ballots like this, but I could
6:50
happen right, right. That can happen. So it's
6:53
not without any evidence, it's just that Trump
6:57
isn't good at referencing the evidence. However,
7:00
Democrats anyway, 34% are still twice as likely
7:04
as Republicans, which are at 17%, to vote by
7:08
mail or absentee. But just 15% of Democrats
7:11
say they plan to vote or have already voted by
7:15
running their ballot through the mail. That's
7:17
down from 21% in 2024 and 22% in 2022, according
7:22
to Pew. So that could make for less of a blue
7:25
wave. Maybe. Although I still think there should
7:29
be a big blue wave. But yeah, I think they're
7:31
still gonna win, but it just won't. Maybe it'll
7:33
be a light lapping. Not a huge maybe. That's strange to me. Voting by mail is
7:40
so convenient that I know, it's just so frictionless. It's down. It's
7:48
down several percentage points from the
7:50
last couple of years. So this is Pew. This isn't
7:53
this isn't some what's the reduction
7:55
again? Democrats are no that's twice as likely
8:03
15% of Democrats say they plan to vote by mail
8:09
15 percent compared to how many into four years
8:12
ago. It used to be it see 21 percent in 2024
8:18
and 2022 excuse me 20 in 2022. It was 22 percent.
8:23
Okay, so that is a significant reduction. That's
8:26
a good drop. So the finding of everyone
8:28
another reason to be cautious about interpreting
8:31
early election returns. Democrats heavier use
8:35
of mail-in voting means later returns have always
8:39
skewed left but now likely won't skew as far.
8:42
So it'll still skew Democrat, but just not as
8:46
pronounced is what it's saying. Democrat voters
8:48
are more confident than Republican voters that
8:52
mail-in ballots will be counted as intended,
8:54
but their confidence has plummeted. It was 88
8:58
% in 2022 during the midterms and 85% confidence
9:03
among Kamala Harris voters back in 2024. It has
9:07
dropped now to 64%. The GOP, only 42% of voters
9:12
back in that era had confidence in mail-in ballots.
9:17
But Kamala Harris voters, wow, in 2024, 85%
9:21
of them said that they trusted mail-in ballots.
9:25
There is, however, strong bipartisan confidence
9:27
that in-person votes will be counted accurately.
9:31
81% of voters supporting Democratic candidates
9:34
say so, and 84% of those supporting GOP share
9:38
that belief. So it's always skewed heavier for
9:41
in-person voting that Republicans champion,
9:44
obviously. So 84% of Republicans believe that'll
9:48
be counted more fairly. But still,
9:51
an overwhelming majority of Democratic voters
9:54
also agree. So it's very close, right? Both in
9:57
the low to mid 80s. So the Pew survey was conducted
10:02
before the DOJ announced on October 15th that
10:05
it was suing California to stop the state from
10:09
counting mail-in ballots returned by people
10:12
the Trump administration says are not US citizens
10:15
so I think the real time they arrested they
10:20
arrested 20 people who they claim were illegally
10:25
red really they claim that they had voted. There's
10:28
no evidence that any of them actually voted. Right.
10:31
How do you show that somebody cast that mail
10:35
-in ballot? That's a good question,
10:38
right? Or that's a very good question. You can definitely tell if they voted in person
10:43
that you would know because you sign in when
10:46
you vote, right? Right, but if it's a mail-in
10:49
ballot and you're also some of those 20 people
10:52
are US citizens some of those which obviously
10:55
means they're allowed to vote and in
10:58
terms of the 20,000 people that Trump said were
11:02
probable non-voters many of them are American
11:04
citizens and many of them. Yeah, there's name
11:09
confusion, there's all kinds of stuff that can
11:11
go wrong so it's not zero. Obviously. Just to be fair. To be fair to dear leader
11:18
it is not zero, but it's 0.0000001. In
11:23
other words, here's the thing I have to say to
11:26
my Republican friends who are concerned about
11:28
ballot integrity and it's look I guess to
11:32
the extent that our let's face it voting
11:34
doesn't really matter in the sense that Democrats
11:37
or Republicans win either way Israel is going
11:40
to get its money and you're not okay, so you're
11:43
nothing's going to change but you're but you
11:47
want the vote to be tallied. I get that you care
11:50
about that. You want your vote to be tallied
11:52
in the same way that if you voted
11:55
for dancing with the stars, you'd want your vote
11:57
to be tallied. But you're the thing is that
12:02
there's never been enough unauthorized voting
12:07
in any election even at the local level in US
12:10
history to change the outcome of the race, right?
12:13
So you're gonna have a it's
12:16
sort of how your drinking water can still
12:20
have a little bit of schmutz. It can have
12:22
four particles per million of poo or whatever,
12:25
and that's okay. You'll be all right. Go ahead
12:30
and enjoy. It's that. The voting water has
12:34
a certain percentage of poo particles, but you
12:38
can still drink it and the outcome will be okay.
12:43
It's just not something to worry about. I guess,
12:46
theoretically. We want zero poo particles in
12:48
the water. And theoretically, but in a country
12:51
where over 100 million votes are cast in a presidential
12:54
election, you're just not going to have a perfect
12:57
system. It's not possible. Cheating is rampant
13:01
all over the place. And this is probably one
13:03
of the least rampant things. So. Oh, yeah. Cheating
13:08
is rampant in all sorts of aspects of government
13:11
and private sector. No. This is not it.
13:16
I can tell you some stories. Literally
13:18
about cheating and it would be easy
13:21
to cheat. Here I'll give you an example
13:24
doesn't change the outcome the most obvious way
13:27
you could obviously cheat is when you move and
13:30
this is stupid, but let's say you move from Washington
13:34
DC back to California. Look let's
13:37
say you move from DC back to California.
13:40
Well, you don't tell DC. Hey, I don't live
13:44
here anymore. You just leave right and then you're
13:46
still registered to vote and let's say on election
13:49
day you decided you flew to DC. You woke
13:53
up in the morning. You could go vote then you
13:55
could fly home to California and go vote there
13:58
vote again. You could absolutely and I'm sure
14:01
and I know some people have done that. It's
14:05
illegal. Don't do this. It's a felony. Don't
14:08
do it. You can go to prison. But the point is
14:10
it's a I do think there should be a system
14:14
where when you register to vote, the other place
14:21
where you're registered is either automatically
14:23
notified, either through your social security
14:25
number or something, so that we know it to you.
14:27
It's not just your name. Or you have to, by law,
14:31
notify the place where you used to be registered
14:33
and deregister. Right? There has to be some thing.
14:38
It's a dumb system. I know. I know. When I moved
14:42
to DC, that actually happened to me. My mail
14:45
was forwarded, obviously, from California to
14:48
D.C., right? So I got my primary ballot for
14:54
California when I ticked the box for Bernie,
14:56
but I also registered in D.C. for the local
15:04
elections because I wasn't brand new. But then
15:08
I was, oh, which state or territory
15:14
should I vote? DC or should I vote California?
15:18
You're only allowed to vote in one. I know so
15:22
I was, what does it matter cuz either places
15:24
I'm from. As long as you just vote in one
15:27
it's okay. Bernie wasn't gonna win. It didn't
15:30
matter. So it was. So
15:32
I just cast my last California ballot back then
15:35
in 2016 and that was it and then I called
15:39
it a day and then I let them know I don't live
15:41
here anymore. Also, I do think you should.
15:46
I know it's we don't have national ID in this
15:47
country, but I kind of think your Social Security
15:52
number should be attached to your voting to when
15:56
you vote. I'm not saying you necessarily have
15:57
to show ID, but the voter registration rolls
16:00
should indicate that Ted Rall, who lives in New
16:06
York, is not the Ted Rall who lives in Illinois.
16:09
And they should be able to tell that those are
16:11
two different social security numbers.
16:13
The social security number is a unique ID. That
16:17
that's how all other countries
16:19
do it. It's tied to some national ID
16:22
card. Most countries have national IDs. And they
16:25
have fingerprints and all of that. Basically,
16:27
we have this whole thing. Look,
16:30
I used to think it's great that we don't have
16:32
a national ID. But the truth is, we kind of,
16:35
basically, we don't have any privacy. There's
16:38
facial recognition software, scanning your face,
16:41
your license plate, readers. There is no privacy.
16:46
Could we afford a voting ID, a whole separate
16:48
voter ID card? Well, some municipalities give
16:52
you one. New York used to. And you could bring
16:55
that with you. It was convenient because it would
16:57
tell you, if you vote in a city and,
17:00
there's a district you're at. Yeah,
17:02
it'll tell you, oh, I'm in district 17.
17:05
and then you don't have to go to the wrong table
17:07
and so it's faster it's more efficient
17:10
yeah yeah maybe that's the way to go. Honestly
17:13
again I'm gonna say team France. The
17:17
in France you can vote on your phone
17:20
it's great the problem is that the states in
17:23
this country handle voting not the federal government
17:25
right that's why Trump Save Act is so unconstitutional
17:28
it is unconstitutional yeah it's true but well
17:32
in this case states could implement. Depending
17:35
on your state, but they could, they theoretically,
17:37
it's not, it doesn't cost too much, right? If
17:40
you register to vote, if it's that important,
17:42
then you'll make way for it. I just want to point
17:45
out where I live now in Virginia. One of the
17:48
state senators, Louise Lucas, is charged with
17:53
drug trafficking and money laundering. Yeah,
17:56
it's all for her cannabis business. Hey, how
18:00
about that? Virginia, that's interesting. I just
18:04
don't see. Usually it's a bigger
18:07
state like California or New York where if something
18:10
happens. So, all right, let me
18:14
get on to the next story but that's
18:16
I just thought that was interesting because we're
18:17
a few days away from the midterms and apparently
18:20
people are going. People are planning to go back
18:23
to the ballot box and not. I think that's what
18:27
it is people and I think also people just want
18:30
to really be sure. It's the psychology
18:33
is a lot the old days before when ATMs were
18:38
still relatively new. If you had a big check
18:42
you went to the teller
18:46
to deposit it right of course now. You might still
18:48
go to the ATM because if people have really gotten
18:50
used to it or even use their phones to deposit
18:53
yeah, but back in the day. I remember. It's
18:56
I'm gonna wait in line. I'm leaving this with
18:58
a teller. I want a receipt. I want to know that
19:01
they got it, right? I want to see. Remember that
19:05
they had the banks had the deposit box and
19:07
the table had the pen that was attached you can
19:11
drop it into the box. Yeah, that's true. I liked
19:14
that too. I like that. So people,
19:18
it's in the branch, right, right. Right and they'll
19:21
retrieve it, at lunch or whatever
19:22
they do right and then process your thing. So
19:25
if you don't want to wait in line for the teller,
19:27
so this is kind of the same thing. So maybe
19:29
that's what they should do is if you send
19:31
mail-in ballots. Maybe more places should
19:33
offer just a plain old drop box at the location,
19:37
right you don't have to wait in
19:38
line. No, I'm in favor of that. A
19:42
lot of how I get the DMV if you're
19:44
surrendering your plates. They have a box you
19:46
just drop them in. Yeah. They should just do more
19:49
drop boxes at the voting site wherever it
19:53
is so people don't wait in line. If they
19:55
don't trust the USPS or you're afraid Chad
19:59
Bianco is gonna roll up to your municipality
20:02
and steal the boxes. Right or steal the bags of
20:05
counted mail from USPS. Just do that. Tell your
20:10
municipality to do that. So there you
20:12
go. Alright, so now you guys know. People are
20:14
going back to the polls. So expect long lines,
20:16
is my point here. Oh, yeah. No, I
20:20
would. I'm sure there will be long lines. Democrats
20:22
are pissed as shit. Oh, yeah. And,
20:27
and I think a lot of Republicans are pissed as
20:28
shit, but they're just going to stay home. I
20:31
think so. I think so. I think so. But trust in
20:35
USPS for whatever reason is down. Well,
20:38
why. The post office has ever since Trump's
20:40
dingus postmaster general. He's gutted the system
20:44
and he's made it a much less reliable system.
20:48
Well, it's fake broke, right? Because Congress
20:50
sucks five billion dollars a year out of them.
20:54
Well, they say that they're only funded through
20:57
Christmas. So that's it. All right, let's get
21:01
to the next story. Breaking news, Ted. Sarah
21:09
Palin's boyfriend dead. Oh, really? Was he eaten
21:16
by dogs, by sled dogs? Bears, I don't know wolves.
21:21
I don't know. The story is just breaking now.
21:23
I've always when I die I want to be eaten by
21:26
some wild animal. Well, go hang out with Robby.
21:30
He can make that happen. So that's I wonder I
21:34
don't know. There's no details yet. So it's breaking
21:37
story. I want to be nibbled to death by badgers
21:41
She got divorced she was married to some dude.
21:44
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, they have a hundred
21:49
kids together. Oh, okay. He had colon cancer yikes,
22:00
okay, that's on the rise too. Yeah. Oh. Speaking
22:07
of which Ted this next story can AI predict when
22:11
you're gonna die. Yes scientists say your face
22:14
may hold the answer. What if a simple photograph
22:17
could reveal how much longer you have to live?
22:20
Researchers at Mass General Brigham have developed
22:24
an artificial intelligence system that analyzes
22:27
facial features to estimate a person's biological
22:29
age and their risk of death. The technology called
22:34
FAIRFACE was trained using millions of facial
22:42
images, including photographs of cancer patients.
22:45
Researchers found that cancer patients classified
22:48
as high risk by the system faced more than three
22:52
times the mortality risk of those classified
22:54
as low risk, even after accounting for other
22:58
medical factors. Apparently, your face may reveal
23:01
considerably more about your health than just
23:03
a few wrinkles and crow's feet. Scientists identified
23:06
areas around the eyes and nose that appeared
23:10
particularly useful in assessing biological aging
23:14
and mortality risk. The technology could eventually
23:18
help doctors determine whether cancer patients
23:21
are healthy enough to withstand aggressive treatments
23:24
like chemo or other major surgeries. But don't
23:28
start asking your smartphone to predict your
23:30
expiration date. The system cannot determine
23:33
when someone will die. It estimates statistical
23:36
risk and researchers say additional testing is
23:40
necessary before it can be used routinely by
23:43
hospitals. There's also serious privacy concerns
23:46
here if AI can address or assess your health
23:50
by simply examining your face. Could insurance
23:55
companies use that information to determine premiums?
23:59
Could employers use it to screen job applicants?
24:03
And who gets to decide whether those predictions
24:05
are accurate enough to influence someone's future.
24:09
For now, the technology remains experimental,
24:11
but it raises questions that extend well beyond
24:14
medicine. If AI could tell you how much time
24:16
you might have left, would you even want to know?
24:20
And should anyone else have access to that information?
24:23
So that's really cool, but really scary, Ted.
24:27
I don't see anything scary about it. I think
24:30
it's very cool. I guess my question is, how do
24:34
they know? Okay. I get that your face would
24:36
reveal that you're under stress. You're not getting
24:39
enough blood flow or whatever and that
24:42
that's a sign of cancer. But how do they know
24:44
it's not a sign of some other disease or something
24:46
else? No, that's not what it's saying. It's it
24:49
learned on cancer patients' faces of what sick
24:53
looks like. Yeah, this is focused on that's
24:56
my takeaway cancer sick versus other cancer,
25:00
it's focused on cancer patients to determine
25:04
the level of illness of their cancer, if
25:09
their body is weak enough or too weak to withstand
25:15
other treatments. I think that's what they're
25:17
saying, but they're saying they're hoping that
25:19
it can expand later to other diagnoses possibly
25:26
but what's scary too? That's great if
25:28
it stays within the realm of medicine, but that's
25:31
never where things stay. I say it's scary because
25:34
it'll be used by insurance companies. Absolutely,
25:38
but what if you're just one of those I know
25:40
people that just look sickly and they're not
25:42
sure that way. Iggy Pop looks he was
25:47
run over by multiple but I think he's in hell
25:51
he's obviously old and healthy,
25:54
Keith Richards has lived a clean life.
25:59
Not really, but. Jeez Louise, he's going
26:01
to outlive all of us. That guy is preserved.
26:04
That's because of all the blood transfusions
26:06
that he had. So I'm more worried about that is
26:10
that technology. Once it gets made you can
26:14
never put the toothpaste back in the tube, and
26:16
then it's gonna be out everywhere
26:18
a flock camera. It'll be weapon. Yeah, it'll
26:20
be weaponized against sure Joe Schmo.
26:23
Yeah, and then you're gonna be declined coverage
26:25
and then I was kind of hoping that the drug sniffing
26:29
that the sickness cancer sniffing dogs was gonna
26:32
become more normal just because it's frankly,
26:35
I'd rather hang out with a dog than
26:41
and let know if you have cancer. That's
26:44
this kind of technology is not it's too dangerous
26:47
I would say. I think it's really cool that
26:50
that AI photography can. Oh, it's so most well
26:55
because what's cool is that it reveals that
26:59
we don't see a lot in
27:01
other people's faces. I think actors
27:03
are trained to see more but most people are
27:06
I can generally see if you're maybe tired or
27:09
happy or sad or but I'm not gonna be able to
27:13
see much beyond a basic range of emotions, right?
27:17
This technology shows illness that there's
27:21
stuff behind the scenes that other people might
27:24
not detect even a doctor an oncologist
27:27
might have pattern recognition,
27:30
but isn't gonna know when you walk in from your
27:33
face oh man that dude has ass cancer,
27:37
it's he has
27:40
to test. So this kind of shows there's a lot
27:43
more going on. It's sort of how dogs and
27:45
cats have they smile and they frown, but it's
27:48
very hard to tell. Right.
27:52
Let me ask you this, Ted, if the technology
27:54
can be trained by millions of photos of cancer
27:58
patients, couldn't reverse train us couldn't
28:02
the AI tell the human oncologist this is
28:05
what I'm reviewing this. This is what to
28:07
look for. Weak this there's a little bulging right
28:10
here. There's a little sagging there in the eyes
28:13
more breaking news. More breaking news. So yesterday
28:18
on the program. I know you've seen it Manila
28:21
the Vivek Ramaswamy's ad. Yeah, yes on Amy Acton.
28:25
We were talking about we were trying to
28:27
invite Governor DeWine
28:30
of Ohio. He's the sitting Republican governor.
28:34
He's being term limited out. He just issued
28:37
a statement, saying that it was a disgusting
28:40
ad. So when the sitting popular governor Republican
28:45
governor says that the Republican candidate for
28:49
the same job is disgusting you might as well
28:53
hang it up. He's not going to.
28:55
Vivek will not be the governor of Ohio. No, no,
28:59
he destroyed himself. That was terrible
29:02
that was really tasteless. If you guys remember,
29:05
we look at, obviously, Ted grew up in Ohio, so
29:09
we look there sometimes. Just I grew up
29:11
in California, we often look there. But Ohio,
29:15
with Dr. Acton, no one had heard about her, Ted,
29:19
until we started talking about her. I'm just
29:21
saying. Right. Well, and I didn't even know that
29:24
she was raped as a child, but she was. Awful.
29:29
I know. Awful and by the way, I did a deeper
29:32
dive. This is not some I don't understand the
29:35
Vivek's team and their judgment just hold him.
29:39
This is a good idea. Well not to mention
29:41
okay there's no question that this to the extent
29:44
that you can ever know what happened behind closed
29:46
doors. Look, she hasn't talked to her mom since
29:49
the 1970s. Okay, she this happened when she was
29:54
12. It happened to her brother as well. Both of
29:58
them left at the time. All the family members
30:01
contemporaneously remember. The kids reported
30:05
it to the police at the time, contemporaneously.
30:09
So there's not any of those doubts that
30:11
can come up sometimes. Why did you wait
30:14
so long to report? Nobody else remembers.
30:18
No. This is a trashy, meth-y, skank mom who
30:23
basically has been recruited. I don't know what
30:27
Ramaswamy was thinking. I never agree
30:30
with Nikki Haley neocon bitch on anything but
30:33
she said I told you Ramaswamy was a bad
30:36
man and she's right. He's a bad man. He's a bad
30:40
man. He's a biotech guy. That's literally. Yeah.
30:42
Well, yeah, he's he's Dr. Fauci.
30:45
He's the same. Oh, that's all you
30:48
that's all you got to know, right? He's
30:49
a biotech dude. Yeah biotech dudes are
30:52
evil. Yeah. So going this route. Remember
30:57
Ted we talked about Amy Acton. We she made
31:01
she grew up to become a doctor a real doctor
31:03
she's an MD. Yeah, she's a cool chick. She's
31:06
gonna be governor. It's great. God bless her
31:09
she overcame some horrible stuff and Ramaswamy
31:13
why would you drag this up? Why
31:16
would you dredge this and put it into a campaign
31:20
commercial? I told you my theory Ted. Because
31:24
he was trying to distract from whenever he came
31:27
out on that talk show. It's about he's
31:30
not your normal Republican and that
31:32
Ohioans are too stupid and too lazy to work so
31:36
you have to import tens of thousands H1B visa
31:38
holders from India? He said me it could have
31:42
been a desperate bid for distraction. It's totally
31:45
it's just so this probably has the distinction
31:53
of being the most disgusting campaign ad ever
31:57
used in American politics. She was sexually abused
32:01
as a child. Vivek needs to be deported. I don't
32:05
care that he was born here. That's disgusting
32:06
and awful that he would do that. They need to
32:07
send him to India. Yeah, I know. Frankly, I don't
32:12
think the people of India have done anything
32:14
to deserve having to have Ramaswamy inflicted
32:19
upon them. People of India are hard-working
32:25
good people. Let them live leave them be. I would
32:30
say we should deport Vivek to the Elon's space
32:34
station on a one-way trip. Yeah,
32:38
you got you have a good time and see
32:42
you later out. You guys bro it up bitches. This
32:46
is it was DeWine is condemning it. I am fascinated
32:51
by it because it's a colossal. It's a
32:54
political fuck-up on par with new Coke.
32:57
Holy shit, how do we? Look everything we
33:02
say between you me and Jamarl everything we say
33:05
the reading the political room, right? We
33:09
never fail. We're batting a thousand true. Why?
33:13
Why don't we have our own political campaign
33:16
consultancy business? Because those guys maybe
33:18
we should for money. No, it's true. Yeah. Tons
33:22
and tons and tons of money. I have successfully
33:26
managed hundreds of thousands of dollars. I have
33:28
successfully managed one campaign as a state
33:31
rep and she was elected in a 90 plus a left wing
33:37
liberal Democrat. I got her elected in a 90 plus
33:41
percent registered Republican district. That's
33:45
pretty impressive. I think I've run my own successful
33:48
high school campaigns as well as later. I three
33:53
switherspoon yes, that's just election.
33:56
Yes, I successfully mentored some junior level
34:01
underclassmen to successful campaigns
34:05
I bet we could yeah. Next election. I told Ted
34:10
this yesterday. It's gonna be some breaking news.
34:11
I'm going to run for local office here in Montana
34:13
yep, I told him I
34:18
forbid it unless I get to design the campaign
34:20
literature and the signs 100% and Manila will
34:24
handle all of my press stuff. I the PR that Clovis
34:29
will handle Clovis will handle security. Vivek
34:32
Ramaswamy is a billionaire. He could afford the
34:36
best of the best. It's unbelievable. Who told him
34:40
this was a good idea to attack a child rape victim?
34:45
Yeah, and using a fucking gross skank her
34:50
and using the meth head mom with no teeth
34:53
and oh. Yeah, who's obviously nobody do who's
34:57
obviously no straight no stranger to some serious,
35:00
high high quality alcohol. Holy shit.
35:04
So just anyway, that's a whole mess. I was so infuriating because
35:09
we mentioned Amy Acton very early on also
35:12
the fact that she never met she never talked
35:15
about being in her campaign boohoo. I was
35:18
raped she campaigned on the issues. Yeah, so I
35:22
mean, that's all. It's if she campaigned
35:25
on boohoo I was raped then this still would
35:28
be a bad idea but I would understand why he did
35:32
why it would have even been suggested why
35:35
would you drudge this up from her past 50 years
35:38
ago, right? Half a century ago, you're bringing
35:41
up something that happened to this poor woman.
35:43
Yeah. When she was a little girl. Yeah.
35:47
This is and it happened to her brother too. Awful.
35:51
That's an awful thing to do. Yeah.
35:54
The mere fact that she hasn't spoken
35:56
to her mom since then tells you since Nixon was
36:01
president. Tells you everything you need to know
36:04
this is really the shit-ass oppo research
36:07
that was done and then the advisory that followed
36:10
this is. Seriously, we need to think about
36:12
well, also campaign advisory. Yeah,
36:17
Robby and I both talked about this too,
36:19
he didn't bring he's a rich guy.
36:24
He employs a lot of people. He didn't bring all
36:26
his businesses to Ohio either. He took him out.
36:30
Yeah. You want to run in Ohio, a state
36:35
where jobs is the number one issue and has been
36:38
for decades, and you're an employer, and you
36:42
don't employ Ohioans? Eat shit and die, man.
36:46
Oh, and speaking of Ohio, by the way, before
36:48
we change subjects, did you see this morning,
36:50
Ted, I don't know how long you've been on the
36:51
road, but there was a huge, some kind of chemical
36:55
leak into the air and all the vapor, the chemical
36:59
vapor surrounded three square miles yeah
37:02
that's in northwestern Ohio right
37:05
Toledo yeah yeah yeah they have yeah people had
37:09
to leave their homes yeah it was thick the
37:13
vapor was so thick that it looked fog
37:16
from a movie it's not good gross no
37:19
so I didn't know Ohio had so many
37:22
chemical spills first the train is falling
37:24
over in Ohio and now. There's a lot of trains
37:28
a lot of those a lot of freight trains
37:31
and yeah, there's residual.
37:34
There's a residual industry. We should keep going. We
37:36
have more stories. Yeah, so there's that
37:38
so there we go. There's the news out of
37:40
Ohio. All right. How about this one is your everyday
37:47
diet quietly damaging your brain. A new study
37:51
is raising concern that bowl of sugary cereal,
37:55
the afternoon bag of chips, or frozen dinner
37:57
might be doing more than expanding your waistline.
38:00
New research suggests ultra-processed foods
38:02
could be associated with hidden brain damage.
38:06
A Canadian study, speaking of the Canucks, involving
38:09
nearly 9,000 adults, found that those consuming
38:13
the most ultra-processed foods, or UPFs, had
38:18
40% higher odds of showing signs of brain injury
38:23
compared to those eating the least. So you get
38:27
TBIs from eating ultra processed foods. Researchers
38:32
identified abnormalities in the brain's small
38:36
blood vessels, which can develop without noticeable
38:39
symptoms, but are associated with increased risks
38:42
of stroke and cognitive decline. Interestingly,
38:46
the association was stronger among women. Those
38:50
consuming the most ultra processed foods had
38:53
ultimately, or excuse me, approximately 78%
38:56
higher odds of showing these brain abnormalities.
39:00
Researchers found no statistically significant
39:03
association among men. Wow, so we're victims
39:07
to this. And we're talking about foods Americans
39:11
eat practically every day, sugary cereals, chips,
39:15
packaged cookies. Soft drinks, processed meats
39:18
deli meats and what have you, and frozen
39:21
meals. According to the CDC, roughly 55% of
39:27
the calories Americans consume come from ultra
39:30
processed foods. Disgusting. Oh, my God. That's
39:36
wow, more than half America's daily diet. Wow.
39:41
The researchers all of it should be banned. All
39:44
of it. Oh, so researchers caution that the study
39:47
establishes an association not proof correlation
39:52
is not causation, right? And the
39:55
thing is this immediately brings up two interesting
39:58
questions, right number one if this impacts
40:02
women more than men why because in other
40:05
words, is it what is it about women's biology
40:08
that's different. That's important. We also get
40:11
dyke. We are two-thirds of every year or overall
40:16
Alzheimer's diagnoses, right? Well, that's true.
40:20
And also all sorts of psychoses too, but I guess
40:24
the other question is and with all that
40:27
though men why are men if men are basically
40:32
I can eat all the Fritos. I want you're
40:35
not immune though. You're not how come we're
40:38
not how come we're still dying younger than
40:40
you guys. No, because our brains go our bodies
40:44
don't go. Right. Okay. All right. So yeah, you
40:49
guys live a long time. You just become senile
40:53
yeah. We're just baddie bat shit crazy old
40:57
ladies in the nursing home yelling at each other
41:00
right, right. Yeah and fighting over and hornily
41:03
fighting over the one old guy left the one surviving
41:07
man. Mr. Lee, I wanna read a comment. Mr. Lee
41:13
in the rumble chat says, Ramaswamy probably wants
41:16
to make money from importing Indians through
41:18
employment agencies and other griffs. Oh,
41:22
that's a good point. I don't know about that.
41:24
I think he wants to just hire, he and his rich
41:26
pals just wanna drive down wages and hire people
41:30
for pennies on the dollar. That's all.
41:33
With employers, roughly two thirds of their expenses
41:37
are payroll. So they're always looking to cut
41:40
that that's all. Yeah. Yeah. So that this
41:45
food thing is wow, I'm not gonna lie.
41:48
I eat very generally very healthy, but I do almost
41:54
daily take a handful a couple of Doritos
41:58
or something. So that is my advice look there.
42:02
They are yummy for sure.
42:06
Of course they're yummy. They're literally
42:09
incredibly well paid scientists in labs
42:13
who are paid great amounts of money and do
42:17
come up with to make these things as addictive
42:20
as possible yummy and addictive but I don't sit
42:23
there and eat the whole bag let me just be clear
42:25
oftentimes the bags go stale but I have
42:28
very good self-control that way but that's what
42:30
I do satiating the taste that I want and
42:35
I want to taste the Doritos so I just. Same with a soda. I'll sip a soda and
42:40
a whole can will go to waste just because I want
42:42
the bubbly in the taste and then I'm done. Well,
42:45
did you know that you can use a Dorito as fire
42:49
starter? I did know that I've seen that on TikTok
42:53
or something. I've never tried it. I've started
42:55
I have started many a fire with the Dorito. Get
42:58
out! It's a slow burn. So you just
43:02
get a Dorito you set on fire. So it's kindling?
43:05
Yeah. So you put your Dorito down then you put your twigs whatever on top of it. You
43:12
make your coals. The Doritos burn hot and they
43:15
burn slow. So it's not that the burrito catches
43:19
fire a match. It's more that it's just it's
43:23
a nice fire making component. There's so much
43:28
oil in it that they burn. They burn hot and they
43:32
burn slow. So to hold the flame. It's a
43:35
torch. So to hold the flame and it'll, it'll
43:39
get your other stuff started. So this year, if
43:43
y'all are drier, lint is also amazingly good
43:46
for starting fires, drier, especially if you,
43:49
coat it with Vaseline, they call
43:52
it fireballs works great, but seriously, if you're
43:57
out, if you're ever out in the woods and if you
43:59
need to start a fire, cause you're cold
44:01
or whatever. If you have Doritos, don't eat them
44:04
all. Today on Naked and Afraid, how to survive
44:10
on makeup fire? Go on through with using Doritos.
44:14
You only have matches and a bag of Doritos. Go!
44:19
Go! You're gonna be fine. That's all you need.
44:22
That's one of my favorite shows is Naked and
44:24
Afraid. I've never seen it. Oh my god, it's so
44:28
good. So good. But maybe I'll try I don't know.
44:31
It just doesn't seem something I would
44:33
like but I you find it fascinating
44:35
yeah, huh? Okay. Well, I thought this was fascinating
44:39
the whole it causes brain injury of some
44:44
well, I shouldn't say I don't want to be fake
44:46
news. There's correlation. Yes, there's
44:51
a relationship between there's consumption of
44:55
these foods. Yeah, and yeah, and it's especially
44:58
traumatic to females and in the term the formal
45:01
term is fucked up brain syndrome FUBS. Bugs or
45:07
formerly known as TBI traumatic brain injury
45:10
and Ted's acronym is too long.
45:14
You gotta it's gotta be three. Okay, gotta be
45:17
three. Well, it could just be FBS fucked brain
45:20
syndrome broken brain syndrome BBS. Maybe as long
45:28
as it doesn't get confused with
45:31
there's all kinds of dating
45:35
acronyms that means something BBC means
45:38
something else yeah that's different yeah not
45:42
the British Broadcasting System no that's different
45:44
that's not the company so yeah so just
45:47
saying we got to think of a better acronym all
45:49
right let's move on be careful we always
45:52
tell you guys car America's food supply
45:56
is carcinogenic it's fattening it's
46:00
gonna give you fucked up brain especially if
46:06
you're a woman apparently there's just all kinds
46:09
I don't know what has happened to our food supply
46:10
but the more this is something Robby's probably
46:14
gonna especially for women the more that
46:19
they have propagated the idea that women's
46:25
liberation means abandon the family. Go out into
46:29
the workforce and just be a workhorse go
46:32
preserve your eggs in a tube somewhere and eat
46:36
this microwave dinner and go be a lawyer and
46:39
work 75 hours a week. You'll find and when you're
46:41
52, you can have your child right and when you're
46:44
when you're stable in your career and make partner
46:47
in your 50s or more likely after you've been
46:50
replaced by AI. After you realize that you've
46:53
been a sucker the whole time, right? So this
46:56
whole time you've frozen your eggs, you've done
46:59
all the things, you even went to your fancy colleges
47:01
or whatever, and now you're husbandless, you're
47:06
childless, and you've been eating frozen foods
47:10
your whole adult life because it's too difficult
47:13
to cook for yourself alone. But at least you've
47:14
made Tucker Carlson even richer. But at least
47:17
the Swanson family is what Ted's referring to.
47:21
I think his stepmom was the Swanson or something.
47:25
It's gonna cause you some brain injury so,
47:28
Robby always talks about women returning
47:31
home and that that's where we're needed
47:33
most. I get it and cooking food is not
47:37
cooking real food is not an easy task and I
47:41
do all that because my husband can't cook worth
47:43
a shit but does he at least it's important to
47:47
me. Does he at least do the dishes? No, we're
47:49
pretty traditional household and then sent
47:52
in that sense. That's wrong. He does
47:55
the outside maintenance. I don't want to do the outside
47:57
stuff. She who cooks must never have to clean.
48:00
I know you would think, but, to be fair,
48:03
I don't lift a finger outside. I will not go.
48:09
I'm not climbing up to get the gutters. I am
48:12
not doing the trash cans. I'm not cleaning them
48:14
out. Certainly. I'm not, I'm not doing any
48:16
of that. I'm not, I'm from the city. I didn't
48:18
grow up having yards and fucking gutters
48:20
and. I didn't know. That's no. I grew
48:23
up with all that shit. Yeah, I it. Anyway,
48:26
you're a boy you go do that. I girl. I'll
48:29
do the inside stuff. That's fine. So I'm okay
48:32
with that but cooking takes a long time. Yes,
48:35
but prioritize this to me. I hate cooking so much
48:38
that I feel the trade-off with my
48:41
ex was. I will literally if
48:45
you cook and see only cooked a little bit but
48:48
if you cook I will do everything else. I'll do
48:50
the laundry. I'll clean I'll vacuum. I'll do
48:53
the outside. Look, I hate cooking. Yeah. Really?
48:57
I love cooking. I when I when my marriage
49:00
started falling apart and I realized I just couldn't
49:02
eat out with my kid every day. I stepped up my
49:06
cooking game, but it's still not something I
49:09
really particularly enjoy. Oh, OK. I actually
49:12
enjoy cooking. I it. I'm very good at cooking
49:14
meat. But when it comes to vegetables and stuff,
49:17
I suck at it. I just can't do it. I'm good at
49:20
inventing recipes and making do with what I have.
49:23
I'm very good at that. I'm good at that. I can
49:26
improvise. Okay, what can we do with this? People
49:30
just got to do that. You can't trust the food
49:32
system is the whole point. My entire point here
49:34
is the American food system is designed to kill
49:38
you. Ted, do you ever make hobo stews? No. You
49:43
got a boot. You got a stone. It's just whatever.
49:46
It's whatever it is that you have. You're
49:48
just throwing up greens, peas, whatever. I don't
49:50
stews as a general rule. I don't stew.
49:55
Really? The next time you come here, I have to
49:58
feed you a hobo stew. You'll love it. All right.
50:00
All right. Robby's going to put acorns in there.
50:03
It's a salad. I was just reading it's a
50:05
super food. All right. I was reading that acorns
50:08
were a super food. We're almost out of time.
50:10
We have another story. We've got to go. Steal
50:13
it from the squirrels. All right, let's go. Oh,
50:20
this one is something that Ted really, really
50:24
wanted to talk about. Have you ever been trapped
50:26
on a subway train listening to someone else's
50:29
TikTok videos, terrible music, or very personal
50:32
phone conversation? Well, Britain has apparently
50:35
had enough. The British government is launching
50:38
a crackdown on so-called Headphone Dodgers.
50:42
Those are passengers who insist on blasting music
50:44
and videos from their phones or devices on public
50:47
transportation. Deport those heifers. Under the
50:51
new measures. Execute all of them painfully.
50:54
Under torture. Violate all of their civil rights.
50:58
Fuck them. And stream it live. Under the new
51:01
measures. Yes. Offenders on buses or trains or
51:04
whatever public transport. Could face fines up
51:07
to a hundred pounds. That's roughly not enough
51:09
30 US should be a million pounds each defense
51:13
Here's the stupid part Ted train operators
51:17
already have the authority to impose penalties
51:20
of up to a thousand pounds or approximately $1
51:23
,300 for disruptive behavior, but when are okay
51:26
if they're the train conductor how are
51:29
they gonna walk through the train and what
51:31
who's driving the train? Who's driving
51:34
the train? I'm busy writing you a ticket
51:36
come on. So the government is also rolling out
51:39
a public awareness campaign. Please put on your
51:43
headphones. Don't be a douchebag. Please don't
51:50
be a douche. Come on. You've seen this on the
51:53
metro. You've seen this behavior on the bus where
51:57
it's, you're putting
51:58
on your speaker. Fuck is wrong with you. What
52:03
kind of a gross aggressive behavior is that?
52:06
Ted you were in the subways of New York in the
52:09
80s with dudes with their boom boxes. Yes. Coming
52:13
through it is what we return to it is related,
52:17
but that's a different that was a different kind
52:20
of aggression right part of it was the
52:23
I'm bringing the part I'm bringing
52:26
the party onto the street with me everybody
52:30
gets to hear my awesome music and and then also
52:34
can whether you it or not you're gonna
52:36
hear it so it's aggressive but this is different
52:41
give me the boombox. I learned about
52:46
new music I learned about new because it's music
52:50
at least it's music it may be bad. But literally
52:56
when you're just hearing someone play a
52:59
game or watching a movie or talking on the
53:03
phone to someone on speaker. There's literally
53:06
no possibility of anything other than being annoyed.
53:10
There's no entertainment the other day Angie
53:14
posted something about having hanging out
53:16
at the studio where Rob Bass recorded it takes
53:20
to that huge 1988 or 89 and. Yeah, and
53:26
I remember that summer when that song was all
53:28
over the streets and, okay I'm a white guy.
53:31
I don't listen to hip-hop, I'm old
53:34
Gen X. So we didn't. Young Gen X listened
53:38
to hip-hop, but we didn't okay there was
53:41
white music black music still when I was growing
53:44
up and that's how I got it by living
53:47
in New York City and riding the subway and being
53:50
on the streets and I got exposed to new forms
53:54
of music that, some of which I didn't
53:57
care for, but others I do care for as a result
54:00
of being exposed to it. That at least is a cultural
54:05
exchange experience. This is not anything
54:09
that. This provides no value whatsoever other
54:13
than it's a sonic assault. And people who do
54:17
this should be no trial. The police officer should
54:20
walk up to them with a nine millimeter, put it
54:23
up to their forehead, shoot them on
54:26
the spot, invite everyone to steal their clothes
54:29
and their money and leave their nude body to
54:32
the dogs. Ted. Oh my God. So OK, so this goes
54:37
to show that my podcast geology with Robby's
54:40
is working because before that Ted was adamantly
54:44
anti death penalty. And he's if you haven't seen
54:46
it, he said I got him over the halfway point.
54:49
For the death penalty this goes to prove only
54:55
biblically only the biblical the biblical justification
54:58
you convinced me. Okay, you just talked about
55:01
splattering some dudes brains over a sidewalk
55:03
over his loud iPhone if you're the kind of person
55:07
who would play your iPhone loud in front of the
55:10
in the public are you really even a human being
55:13
in the first place? You're not really
55:15
alive. It's stepping on a bug. Look, I
55:19
always am amazed and shocked at the
55:23
same time at these it's normally usually
55:27
women who are having very private conversations
55:30
on speakerphone. Oh really in New York. It's
55:34
usually dudes. Really? And there's no graphic.
55:38
It's not this dumb. It's this age
55:41
or it's this race. This is all from my experience
55:47
I see women I would say primarily at this stage,
55:51
they're older zoomers and younger millennials
55:56
that are, yeah, and then we went on this
55:59
date. And then he was, he opened the door
56:01
for me. And I hate that. Oh my god, toxic
56:03
masculinity. And, and you're, but then they
56:07
start talking. But was he good in bed? Did you?
56:10
And I've heard all these conversations. Yeah.
56:13
But they think because I'm, I'm a woman
56:16
too, or they're around other women that it's
56:18
that we want to hear it and it's. I think
56:22
don't give a shit. Now. The only thing I think
56:25
of is that's the problem people don't anymore.
56:28
I think it's people who are honestly, I think
56:31
the real motivation is they don't have earbuds
56:33
or they don't they don't want to put them in
56:35
and they don't want to hold the phone up to their
56:37
ear because of cancer. So that's why they're
56:40
doing it. I do the speaker thing when
56:43
I'm at home and nobody's around. Yeah, sure. That's
56:47
not the same thing but in a public space
56:50
private conversations in a public space. You either
56:52
have to go cancer style put it up your ear or
56:55
you have to have earbuds. That's it.
56:58
It just makes me feel even though by the
57:01
way just word to the wise. We know word
57:05
to the wise in, how you're supposed
57:07
to while you're driving. You're supposed to use
57:09
hands-free. You're supposed to have
57:11
what I have right now. So I got ticketed in New
57:14
York for this. Apparently in New York you have
57:19
to have you're only allowed to have one of your
57:21
earbuds in your ear. No kidding. I don't know
57:24
how it is in other districts, but that's how
57:27
it is. But is it defined do they show that? No,
57:32
nobody knows nobody. I've told this to I got
57:35
the ticket it was in the code. I looked
57:38
it up. It was true. It's not publicized. There's
57:40
no signs. Nobody knows. They just say use hand
57:44
yeah, yeah, and then this is definitely a law
57:48
nobody knows about. Well, that's dumb.
57:52
I've never even heard of that. But anyway
57:54
I think it's we've lost all public decency public
57:58
courtesy amongst one another right? Boys
58:02
are afraid to men are afraid to hold doors open
58:04
oftentimes now because they're they don't want
58:06
to be toxic masculinity. There's a lot of old
58:10
doors open social norms including dudes for anyone
58:17
who's coming out or needs to come in behind yeah,
58:19
they're right behind me of course I'll hold
58:21
it why not but I think just in general most
58:25
people have lost common decency and and the phone
58:29
is just yeah, they're fucking they're uncivilized
58:32
are the problem. Yeah. So do you agree that there
58:36
should be punishment or? Don't know about
58:40
judge jury executioner on the spot Ted. But if you're
58:46
if you're a metro transit cop yes find
58:52
them. Find the shit out of them. That's how you
58:56
fund the NYPD. That's how you find metro metro
59:01
police here in DC in the metro have the metro
59:05
cop just walking up and down the platform. One
59:08
in and out of the trains. This is the same as
59:10
the people who used to smoke on the train and
59:13
shit that. Oh, yeah, so and this is coming
59:16
from a former smoker but I was never rude
59:18
ever. I would never. Why smoking
59:22
smoking has been illegal in subway systems for
59:27
a century even when everyone smoked,
59:30
why? Methane build methane builds up in the tunnels
59:35
so there. It's a danger thing. If people smoke,
59:38
you might blow up your entire subway station.
59:41
Well, I've never I just have never been a rude
59:44
smoker. If I saw a small child, pregnant women,
59:46
stuff, I would never light
59:48
up around them, but people aren't
59:50
that. So yes, by all means, every place that
59:53
has a metro, a subway, put metro officers there
59:58
bus on the bus train put officers there and get
1:00:02
them off of the residential suburban
1:00:05
street kick them off kick them off the train
1:00:07
too they're they ticket you nowhere they
1:00:10
ticket you for a rolling stop when there's nobody
1:00:13
there right to me and you did a California
1:00:17
stop and I was oh funny I'm from California
1:00:20
he didn't find that so funny. He didn't find
1:00:24
that funny yeah I was no no truly I really
1:00:26
am from California yeah that was not probably
1:00:28
probably not a good defense yeah. No, but I was
1:00:31
there's nobody here please. I'm sorry.
1:00:33
I'm new to the area. I just didn't see in
1:00:36
California are so we don't have just a stop sign
1:00:38
we have the the floor the ground, is
1:00:40
written. It's written. There's a line. It's just
1:00:42
yeah. Yeah, the streets are definitely markings
1:00:46
in California are much better than most parts
1:00:48
of the country. I love the freeway
1:00:51
system where it always shows you the names of
1:00:53
the next three exits ahead. Yeah, you're not
1:00:55
prepared. Yeah, it's what side it's gonna be
1:00:59
on nice long nice long entrance ramps
1:01:04
a question in New York. It's the length of a
1:01:06
small driveway. It doesn't say stop
1:01:10
12 different languages so that way people now
1:01:13
speak English no no no California signs believe
1:01:17
it or not. Yeah, everything's English. That's
1:01:21
a safety issue. You got to have it in
1:01:23
Chinese. You got to have it in Spanish. You would
1:01:26
think of all places to have it. It would be California.
1:01:29
But that's true. No, they don't do that. You
1:01:31
think it's all it's all in English. So but anyway,
1:01:34
that's going to do it for us this Thursday. You
1:01:36
guys enjoy the weekend. Ted's getting back on
1:01:39
the road. Thank goodness you're pulled over.
1:01:40
I was worried. I was when I saw you in the
1:01:42
car, I was, oh, my God, I hope Ted's not
1:01:44
going to try to drive and. That would be
1:01:46
awesome, but I'm not that balls. No, not to mention
1:01:49
not to mention. There just would be no signal.
1:01:51
I'm sure. Oh, oh so. All right. Here we are. Happy
1:01:57
weekend. Everybody. We'll be back on Tuesday
1:01:59
I'd be or it could be Dr. Reese walking
1:02:01
through the woods and you can see my nose up
1:02:03
your up your nose. Yeah. This and the trees he
1:02:07
shows here. Yeah. It is. Happy weekend. DeProgram

1:02:38

1:02:41
It's extended on the Tuesday Thursday. TMI preempts
1:02:46
